What we’re finding out during the Trump presidency is that while lying & misleading people is great for getting elected in America today, it’s a comically bad way to govern. Science doesn’t care about your feelings, neither does reality. The Trump Show will have disastrous outcomes for all of us.
OJFC. A woman flipped him off as she passed him on her way into an abortion clinic. Therefore women who get abortions should be executed. Don’t be put off by his monotonous drone, this man is proof that misogynists are dangerous and definitely should have no say in women’s reproductive rights.
Here's clinic protester Mark Baumgartner, arguing that that women need to be jailed or executed because...they flip him off and don't like being harassed

It’s not enough to be pardoned for their crimes, now Trump’s DOJ is handing out $millions to anyone who was caught up in the January 6 insurrection investigations. Treason is paying off for Trump & his supporters.
the myriad of ways that trump & his friends are raiding the U.S. treasury is astounding...
NEW: DOJ has been in settlement talks with Michael Flynn -- Trump's first national security adviser seeking $50M for his prosecution by ex-special counsel Robert Mueller -- and Stefan Passantino, a Trump I White House lawyer who accused the House Jan. 6 committee of privacy violations

The next Democratic president needs to show up with a good scraper. In fact Dem candidates should campaign with a scraper in their hand. “We’re going to scrape off all the trump! Scape it off like dog poop.”
How many of thise spray painted Home Depot things are pasted in the White House now?? It’s not just the Oval Office??
INGRAHAM: Where did you get the stone?
TRUMP: Different places
INGRAHAM: Different places? Hmm

No one you have ever met or worked with or heard about is as bad a person as Trump.
Jeffrey Epstein to Lawrence Summers (both of whom are very bad people):
“i have met some very bad people , none as bad as trump. not one decent cell in his body. so yes- dangerous”

I refuse to be embarrassed by this buffoon. Yes he is the president of my country and the entire world is watching but I am done cringing at his crassness and stupidity.
Here's Trump spraying Al-Sharaa with his cologne, asking him how many wives he has..at the Oval Office.
Published, naturally, by the Syria team.

agreeing to make a terrible deal while your main opponent is quite literally being boo'd on live tv by an entire stadium of people is the kind of political instinct you'd normally only find in a 3 week old dead goldfish

In a mater of months the richest man alive, who was not elected, has cut USAID and now 700,000 are dead. The billionaire president is doing everything possible not to give 42 million people access to food. Just in case you’re wondering what the history books will focus on.

I’ve been tracking Trump’s dementia symptoms since 2016. The outward signs of his descent into senility are coming faster and more obvious. I had thought his handlers would respond by keeping him out of the public eye as he got worse but it looks like the plan is to normalize his behavior.

OMG. I had not seen this before. What a travesty.
This, in particular, is spectacularly hideous. It's like something you'd see on the wall of a car dealership where they put pictures of their top salespeople every month

Whoa 😮 RFK couldn’t get out of there fast enough. Maybe he’s afraid of breathing in bad miasma.
RFK Jr's response to someone collapsing nearby him was to haul ass out of the room as quickly as possible

Great thread from a time when American citizens—even the Spanish speaking citizens—were encouraged to use Social Security for retirement.
One thing you see in the 1940s and 1950s is that the posters emphasize procedural aspects of the program - don't lose your card! make sure your employer has the right SSN! adjust your name after marriage! - but the key purpose is "Don't Lose Benefits."

Collecting for UNICEF is a great way to teach our kids to help other kids. Empathy is a trait best learned young.
The idea of asking kids to collect coins for needy children abroad was born of one couple's desire to add meaning to Halloweening. Some say it's now more important than ever. n.pr/3LkikUN
Candy is dandy but trick or treat for UNICEF has heft. And this year it turns 75!

January 6 pardons apparently came with a get out of jail card that never expires.
Breaking on MSNBC:
Two federal prosecutors have been placed on leave at the direction of the White House after filing a sentencing memo seeking 27 months in prison for a pardoned Jan. 6 rioter who brought illegal guns and ammunition to President Obama's house in 2023.

The evidence of Trump’s failing brain function caught on video is snowballing. It’s multiple times a day now. My question is will he still be president by the time this ballroom is finished? He should be replaced now but his supporters aren’t ready. When will Trump’s decline be undeniable?

In some parts of America children of all races & legal status will be kept indoors on Halloween because it’s too scary for them to go trick or treating surrounded by masked men carrying weapons and tear case. Sadly, real monsters exist among us.

Republicans control all 3 branches of the government and claim they’re leading us into a “Golden Age.” But they can’t figure out how to end a government shutdown, and they want us to blame the party that controls exactly zero branches of government.

Turns out that plucking an unknown backbencher from obscurity and elevating him to second in line to the presidency is the best way to get yourself a human rubber stamp. Trump couldn’t clone himself so he got the next best thing—a meat puppet.
He got the Speaker he wanted - a cuck who will sit in the corner and let him do whatever he pleases whenever he wants.

This darkly funny. I can’t stop myself from liking every comment. How the heck did we get here—where we can’t be sure the SC would stop the demolition of the entire WH.
A district court would preliminarily enjoin the razing but SCOTUS would stay the PI and allow the razing to occur while litigation concerning the razing’s legality proceeds.
As a matter of current law, could the president just…knock down the entire White House? Just raze the whole thing to the ground?
