Trump believed he would win that prize—and he cannot comprehend why his bullying and intimidation failed. He wants to be Obama, but he’s insecure, petulant, and embarrassingly out of his depth. Watching him scramble for respect he hasn’t earned is humiliating—not just for him, but for the country.

Bad Bunny’s about to break Super Bowl records — and MAGA’s losing its mind.

Their new meltdown: “He’s not American!” 🤡

Now white supremacist grifter Turning Point USA’s planning an “All-American Halftime Show” — in English — like a sad county fair protest.

"The Supreme Court has made clear that it will allow Trump to violate every constitutional prohibition, removing any obstacle in his way, and crediting the most farcical legal argument."

Trump is the insurrection

And the Supreme Court's conservatives are his shock troops.

“Lindsey Halligan, Trump’s brain-dead lapdog and Comey’s tormentor, just indicted NY AG Letitia James. Her own team quit rather than prop up this circus of a case. Halligan isn’t a lawyer—she’s a walking crime against justice.”

Right before this photo was taken I told Tish James that she was a fucking badass.
Because it’s true.
And it’s also true that Donald Trump is a fucking pussy.
