"How we got here and why..."
Let's see, it all started with a racist, narcissistic conman coming down an elevator.

"Can she help unite a fractured America?" Is that really the line they're towing here?
The person who is CEO of a company that exploits fear white Christian supremacy is under attack is going to (checks notes) unite America? That's like asking an arsonist to put out the forest fire they started.

The person whose personal net worth increased $3bn in just the past 11 months - while in his role as a "government servant," no less - is telling people their kids only need 2-3 dolls and no more than 2 pencils...
Maybe his ballroom needs a few less seats? Oval office fireplace needs less bling?

Charlie Kirk's podcast had under 2M listeners. In a country of 350M, assuming all listeners were domestic, he reached 0.57% of Americans.
Politics aside, giving his wife an hour of network time doesn't seem like a smart way to grow your audience. A re-run of Blue Bloods would get 2M viewers for $0.

I kept wondering when the "big announcement" would actually happen, since it was scheduled for a different room. Instead, they just kept rambling, lying and rambling.

It's a no-cross neckless day. That's a sure sign to expect at least 50% more lies and "alternative facts."

Thank god we're focusing on important things. Just last week, I was saying to my wife, "You know, I'm really embarrassed for my country that the golf course at Andrews isn't world class. How's that make us look what we have royals over for a round? Please, take more of my tax dollars and fix that."

Hands down, my favorite clip of the week. Thanks @ericswalwell.bsky.social for refusing to let this lawless administration bully you into submission.

Ok, I now have no need to spend another dollar at #McDonalds ever again. Between the big "Golden Age" signage on the stage and providing #Trump with a platform to spew his rambling inaccuracies, they're officially complicit in my book.

So, if we focus exclusively on 3 to 18 year-olds, does that mean they still only get 2 dolls or are they allowed 3 or 4 at this point? apnews.com/article/trum...
Two dolls instead of 30? Toys become the latest symbol of Trump's trade war
Toy dolls have become the latest rhetorical poster child for President Donald Trump's tariffs crusade.

So, the guy whose net worth has increased by billions this year is talking about minimum wage being too high. Yeah, that's completely on brand.

Couldn't agree with this post more. Apparently, the only people who get suspended are those who are critical of the president. Anything goes outside of that...

Even though I only agree with Massie 9% of the time, that feels insanely high, even for 2025.

Ahh... I know the problem. I bet they thought the book was actually a test within the test and, by opening, they'd be seen as woke.

The nerve... He should be thankful he's not in an orange jumpsuit. Instead, he's greedy, petty and thinks our country is his ATM.
That money could provide 16K people with healthcare for a year. Instead, it'll end up as gold mirrors, medallions and cherubs in Trump's bathroom.
