Holy smokes! Rubio really woke up and said the biggest threat to America is… Calibri.

At this rate, Comic Sans is going to need witness protection.

G'morning y'all ✌🏻
Any news on the Epstein files yet?
It shouldn't be this hard to release files that were already on Bondi's desk.

Picture a team of medical professionals observing him taking his dementia tests, cheering when he can tell the difference between a giraffe and an elephant, nodding in approval when he shows off his FIFA participation medal.

Can you picture it?

This is life in the West Wing.

Congress just gave $900 billion to the US military in case you were wondering if there were any repercussions for blowing up civilian ships on the high seas. Meanwhile, the FIFA peace participation trophy guy still manages to keep the Epstein list out of the headlines.

It's been almost three weeks now and they still haven't released the Epstein files because withholding exculpatory evidence is clearly what you do when you're "innocent."

It would be nice if their fellow journalists would stand up for the female reporters Trump routinely bullies.

He'll do it again. Make a plan for it. Act collectively.

A reminder that he has virtually unrestricted nuclear launch authority as you watch all the unhinged, racist, and sexist shit that Trump is spewing.

I guess the president just announced he recently took his latest in a series of cognitive tests, this one in front of a room full of medical personnel observing him?

I have more respect for the Iraqi journalist who threw a shoe at George W Bush than any of the cowards in the current White House press pool.

Teach a man who hates socialism and votes for authoritarianism to farm and he can receive socialist handouts for life from the government that bankrupted him in the first place.

lol I love that Habba thinks she can quit a job she never had. That reminds me, I need to resign as the prime minister of Australia.
The Parking Lot Lawyer FINALLY figured out she wasn’t welcome.

And PS: This is a complete and total surrender by Habba.

Nixon could have saved so much trouble and money installing a WH taping system just by typing out his rants and posting them.
Every part of this is bonkers. The intro is bonkers. The transition to his health is bonkers. The mention that other presidents didn't need cognitive exams is bonkers. The claim that this screening test is somehow hard is bonkers. The idea that criticism of him is treason is bonkers. All of it.
