Reminder: We spent YEARS reading thousands and thousands of articles on the Tea Party and how it was a true expression of the American people's will, and it never mounted anything nearly as big as Saturday's No Kings rallies. [1/3]

Maybe Hillary Clinton should have waited a week before praising Trump for this farce.

This so bad. They're cheering for the chickenpox.

It's not often you hear a room cheer for the return of chicken pox, let alone measles. Welcome to Freedom Summit 2025.

Notice how the headline avoids mentioning that Trump rains oceans of shit on the protesters in the AI video.

In one video the president shared on social media, Trump wears a crown and flies a fighter jet with "King Trump" written on it.

Can the Times et al actually explain their coverage priorities, even internally? How is it that any hint of denigration of Americans by a Dem is front-page news, but the president publishing video in which he calls himself "King Trump" and flies a plane dumping sewage on Americans' heads NOT news?

Don’t let the frogwater that’s boiling us alive let you skip over this: we murdered another country’s citizens in cold blood, and when their leader objected, we called him a drug dealer and cut off aid to his country. That’s freakish.

Petro objected to the US bombing a Columbian fishing vessel that had the emergency beacon on because they were broken down, that we subsequently bombed. One Columbian fisherman survived the attack.

This is the official US response to Petro's comments.

In the end, when this is in the rear view mirror, we WILL have tribunals for those in the military who aimed at civilians.

In addition to the Nuremberg 2.0 trials that will be held for the non-military who were a part of it.

The 400 richest Americans are now worth a record $6.6 trillion, after getting $1.2 trillion richer over the past year alone.

Meanwhile, the rest of the country is getting squeezed by tariffs and high prices for groceries, utilities, and health care.

The system is broken.
