Somehow I always thought that being on the right side of history would probably feel better than this.

Everyone can set aside partisanship, psychologizing, pathologizing, whatever, and—I would hope—still see that it’s incredibly dangerous for a political leader to be this disconnected from the real conditions in the country.

Trump: "I don't know what could be worse than Portland. You don't even have stores anymore. They don't even put glass up. They put plywood on their windows."

So cool that whenever someone asks the president, “did you eat the Lindbergh baby” he’s like, “no but I’d be allowed to, I have the right to, I might do it later”

The White House Antifa Roundtable is one of the best displays I’ve seen of this-is-how-bad-it’s-gotten — just a sewer of open fascism, dementia, morons and freaks, and incoherent rage.

Our government is shut down but nobody is paying attention because our president is an idiotic cunt who is sending troops to invade our cities for fraudulent reasons because he’s a pedophile.

Trump: "We took the freedom of speech away because that's been through the courts and the courts said you have freedom of speech, but what has happened is when they burn a flag it agitates and irritates crowds."

Imagine knowing – being absolutely sure – that when you die, 65 or 70% of the country and the world will celebrate your death like nothing they've ever celebrated anything before.

Q: There's compelling proof that antifa did infiltrate on January 6 dressed up like Trump supporters and incited violence. Is that something you'd like the new J6 committee to look at?

TRUMP: Well I've heard that. Yeah. We will be acting on some of that.

We are now taking donations of blowup costumes to Portland. These blowup costumes are desperately needed by protesters who are continuing to fight the good fight. Please note that we already have too many T-Rexs, so please, no more T-Rexs.

This is fascinating. I would bet trump doesn’t care if we see photos of him with topless girls - but he certainly does not want us to see them laughing at him and pointing.

Seeing many posts about how ICE isn't trained. That's not really the problem. The problem is what they were sent to do, not whether they're qualified to do it.

Is there a black politician that at some point or another Trump hasn't called "low IQ?"

Trump: "They've had hundreds of people shot and then a guy like Pritzker or this low IQ mayor gets up -- the people are all against him. Beautiful Black women are wearing a MAGA hat last night on TV. And they said, 'We don't care who comes, just stop the crime.' They don't care if it's military."

The FBI keeps insisting it’s “restoring integrity.” That’s adorable. Integrity isn’t a slogan, boys...it’s what you demonstrate before you get caught trying to clean up your own Watergate X 10,000.

In the current episode of ‘Slow Horses' when Jackson Lamb announces his intentions of taking a shit by saying 'me thinks a Donald's in order' is this the political statement I’m assuming it is or just some obscure British colloquialism I'm unfamiliar with?

My brain: Needs to use GPS when I’m driving to remember how to get to a place I’ve previously driven to multiple times before.

Also my brain: Remembers every single lyric to the 1990 hit Ice Ice Baby when it comes on the radio while I’m driving to the place it can’t remember how to get to.
