Adventures in framing:

Headline presenting this as a real-world question. Rather than as another sign of deepening vortex of narcissistic delusion and detachment from reality.

This administration has already lost. 🐸✊

I figured we'd get this eventually.

Sure took a while, though.

Hilarious when you understand that he thinks the Nobel committee will give him a Peace Prize for his "work" to end one armed conflict while actively fomenting another in his own country. Like Norwegians can't see our Frog.

Remember all of the ghouls who denied this was happening and did everything they could to make the problem worse from JK Rowling to Wes Streeting. The NHS who did a stitch up report to hide the growing number of suicides from trans youth on the waitlists. They should never be forgiven.

The Attorney General of New York was just indicted by our tinpot dictator

Because OF COURSE THEY DID, YOU MORONS is why.

“We obviously really care about rightsholders and about people,” Sam Altman said.

You must defer to the president’s determination that there is an armed rebellion in Chicago, argues the govt’s lawyer.

That’s the Trump admin’s stance on everything. When the law doesn’t allow it, lie about the facts until it’s something that would be legal, then insist others live inside the lie.

If this stuff would end up on the news it would absolutely motivate voters. Plenty of people who don't give a shit about politics would absolutely give af about this.
