If we get a press conference where he claims random Venezuelan boats were guilty of killing American citizens on yachts, friends of Trump, we'll know I'm right. #hatm

I assume he touches himself to the thought of sending in troops, but has the hubris to believe none of them would be killed and there would never be any consequences for his crimes.

There is a strong chance that Hegseth is also watching Clear and Present Danger tonight, though not for #hatm, more as inspiration for the fuckening he's enacting.

“I’ll be involved” is another big broken norm.
Q: Should Netflix be allowed to buy Warner Brothers?
TRUMP: That's a question. They have a very big market share. I'll be involved in that decision

The legislature will repeal the anti-union bill because they’re afraid the pro-labor vote on the referendum would drag down GOP candidates who voted for it. I hope everyone remembers that almost all GOP legislators voted for this very unfair bill

For reasons completely unrelated to any opinions about regulatory policy, a Day 1 executive order here in the US should be ending every government agency account on X. Just delete them all, plain as that. For the same reason the US government need not have accounts on Stormfront or 4chan.
Pretty crazy that nearly all of the EU Commission is still on X even as Elon Musk is literally talking about destroying the EU.
You can leave X. It's really not that difficult.

Today we remember the thousands of Americans who died in the attack on Pearl Harbor 84 years ago. Nearly half of those lost were aboard the USS Arizona, and I remember what a moving experience it was when Gabby and I visited the memorial. We’ll never forget their sacrifice.

Godfrey Wade came to the US from Jamaica when he was 15 years old.
He served in the Army for 8 years and won multiple awards including a wartime veteran award and a US Army Commendation Medal
ICE grabbed him for failing to use a turn signal, and he’s been held for 70 days.

Yes, you can blame the voters

All they had to do was "Not vote for the worst President ever again" and fucking failed the assignment
Rearrange the deck chairs on the Titanic of your mind all you want over what Harris should have done

A church member at Urban Village Church sent this one along, where Mary, Joseph and Jesus are gone and replaced with a sign that reads: “Due to ICE activity in our community, the Holy Family is in hiding.”

Under the Big Beautiful Bill Act, ICE’s budget ballooned to nearly $30 billion. And what does that get us? Bottom-of-the-barrel agents who only meet bare minimum standards.

I agree: if framing is the problem, should we stop labeling ourselves? No more gay, straight, bi, etc... That's nonsense. Language evolves with society; even 'homosexual' is a pretty recent term, invented by a Hungarian doctor, and 'gay' which means, in fact, 'joyful' or 'cheerful'
Something I'd like to address. There's this idea that TQ+ folk are all 21 year-old art students... and all the 'normal' old school folk are LGB and entirely left behind and confused by 'pronouns'...
