I had just finished reading an article on Trmup berating the admirable @kaitlancollins.bsky.social when I saw this headline.
Obviously I assumed it was about Trmup berating other journalists.

Anyone else see the irony of the people who scream the most about "everybody gets a damn trophy" are the most likely to support the president who gladly accepts other people's trophies?

Do any of you remember back around 1990 how cool hovercrafts were supposed to be?
I see one now, and I can only thing about the hassle of double hearing protection and seasickness.
I'd still check it out.

It's no wonder his lot hate trans people. They don't have the will to look past the binary condition of "basic biology" from 5th grade. (Hint: there is mich more.)

Who would honestly be surprised if everyone in Trump's cabinet was involved with Epstein? Bondi and Lutnick are just the beginning.
I think the only obvious exceptions might be Stephen Miller, ICE Barbie, and JD. They are might be too weird for even pædos.

At this rate, in only 5 more weekends, I would still rather chew broken glass than watch it.

And, what has killed the most people - Christian or otherwise - in Africa in the last year?
--> Trmup's murder of USAID.
The amount we spend on military operations in this area to "save Christians" would have saved many more in the hands of humanitarian aid without "collateral damage."
