With polls showing that 3% of Democrats still support Trump--imagine still belonging to a party that is absolute dogshit at politics, but also supporting a guy who is good at politics but as evil as Satan himself. The weakest of sauce.

The president is a political cartoon of corruption come to life, a gaudy grifter who is selling off pardons and lining his pockets, building a golden ballroom and protecting his fellow sex predator elites, all the while regular Americans are suffering and struggling to make ends meet.

Please be sure to not repost the fact that BBC didn't call the most nakedly corrupt politician in US history the most openly corrupt president in US history. The most openly corrupt president in US history made corrupt threats to prevent people from discovering his open corruption.
NEWS --> BBC confirms to me that they did edit a line out of historian @rutgerbregman.com's speech. It called Trump "the most openly corrupt president in US history."
BBC also confirms this was done on the advice of lawyers. So Trump's threats worked.

Trump’s Fury at BBC Gets Unnerving Results with Pro-MAGA Edit Stunner
First, British Broadcasting Corporation execs resigned after Trump complained about a segment. Now the BBC edited out a line from a historian that was critical of Trump. Where does this end?

The GOP would say this is a failure of the Dems' ACA. OK, so what? You're in charge. Dems have to fix the economy after every GOP president. You think the ACA is the problem? Use your government trifecta and do something other than protect pedophiles.
People are finding out their monthly health insurance costs will double or even TRIPLE next year, putting them at risk for going bankrupt all so Trump can give tax cuts to his billionaire buddies. Disgusting.

I haven't changed an LED lightbulb in at least a year.
We should talk more about how conservatives were massive crybabies about the new lightbulb regulations and yet it ended up great and I basically never have to change lightbulbs.

I'm not too broken up over Trump and Vance not being invited to Cheney's big send off. I figure they'll get to see him at Hell's after party soon enough.

Note for Democratic politicians: you don't have to start your condemnations of ICE raids with "We all want to catch violent criminals, but..." Just say "These raids have nothing to do with catching criminals and everything to do with terrorizing innocent minority groups."

It's not a foolproof plan but every political debate from now on should be a Normal Guy competition. Ask them to describe grocery shopping in detail. Talk about what it's like to have a friend

Just going to go ahead and go on record: I don't think Marjorie Taylor Greene should be killed and I bet nobody else who doesn't support Donald Trump wants her killed, either.

"Bury him face down." This barn burner of an obit might feel hyperbolic to people who entered the world in the wake of 9/11; it's not. Cheney was one of the architects of today's American Christian conservatism. He was directly responsible for millions of deaths. Salt the earth where he's buried.

Why is it that every disappeared US citizen is not front page news? At the very least we should have a little box with a count of the number of citizens who have been taken away and are not locatable and a link to a story with photos & min-bios, just as we used to do with military casually figures.
In Portland, Oregon, masked ICE GOONS abducted and vanished US citizen Gonzalo Catalan last week. Tragically, his family remains unaware of his whereabouts and has not received any communication from him as of today.

FBI Director Kash Patel used a $60 million government jet for a booty call during the shutdown.
Not the first time. In April, he made multiple trips to Nashville to see his 26-year-old country-singer girlfriend and even flew her around to hockey games.
