Just because they are "record numbers," doesn't mean they're good.

Wall Street hit some "record numbers" in 1929.
Big week for the "seriously, not literally" crowd.

This Chagos Island deal thing is remarkable.

Trump doesn't even remember he supported it, and now calls the UK "stupid" for agreeing with it... even though he and his administration gave the UK the green light to proceed last year.

Something ain't right with that man.

There's every possibility that McDonald's won't give Trump a Shamrock Shake in January and he'll decide to anex Ireland by force in retaliation.

I'm old enough to remember the good old days when the US and Denmark fought side-by-side to defend Copenhagen from Reptilicus.

I believe, in the interest of peace, Denmark should sell Greenland to the United States...

... for 800 trillion dollars.

Every time the Trump regime uses the words "funded protesters" and "outside agitators" news outlets need to cut to this photo from last week.

ICE has invaded these communities. Outside agitators don't show up in their fucking bathrobes.

He's either completely ignorant of modern world history, or that was a blatant fascist dog whistle.

I love how there's essentially three egomaniacs causing 83% of the world's problems and killing and terrorizing millions of people because they don't have an ounce of empathy, humility, or integrity...

...but a dwarf deer and a gigantic rhino decide to play together and there was zero bloodshed.

Has anyone considered how easy it must be to infiltrate ICE, considering how desperate the admin is and how quickly the training takes place?

You can get a nice cash bonus AND gather information for journalists and evidence for lawyers.

Just no tall guys.

Kristi Noem is an absolute DUMBASS.

She gave enough information to identify her own agent.

I guess the masking was useless.
it was a pretty high profile incident bc local news loves bootlicking and it seems to have backfired

"Innocent until proven guilty" is not part of the Trump Administration's legal theory.

You are a criminal if they say you're a criminal, even before your corpse goes cold. Your death will be justified with the flimsiest of evidence and your good name destroyed for the benefit of the regime.

So, what's the indictment going to say for Greenland?

Just do a quick search of all the MAGA Republicans in 2024, including Donald Trump JUNIOR, who were demanding that the Epstein Files be released...

... and compare that to what those same people and their close associates are saying now.

ALL HE HAD TO SAY...
...was Santa carries a tracker so we can tell the children where he is in the world at any moment during his Christmas Eve ride.

But NO. He starts to insinuate Santa could be "bad," and it's our duty to track him to potentially protect the country from him.

Trump is so WEIRD.
Trump: We track Santa. We want to make sure that Santa is being good. We want to make sure that he's not infiltrated, that we're not infiltrating into our country a bad Santa. Santa loves Oklahoma like I do. You know, Oklahoma was very good to me in the election

I have three adult sons. One is a carpenter, one is a soldier, and one is a teacher. All three of them went through an apprenticeship of sorts.

Only one wasn’t paid for his time. Not only was he not paid, but he paid in for the work he performed.

Guess which one?
