This stuff is legit. I just don’t get why they made it to look like they spent 45 seconds on the brand design. In Microsoft Paint.

Putin leads with “congratulations” and “how appreciative” he is about Melanie doing blah-blah-blah and boom, Trump was done. Fin. Played like a fiddle.

And Taco’s big report back to our country was the compliments the KGB agent gave him lolololol. My goodness, what a clown 😆

Fetterman’s points at the Kennedy Center are moronic—demonstrating he’s a drag on the party. Saying u know old conservatives back home who aren’t fascists (who doesn’t?) is 100% irrelevant to whether or not the Trump regime IS…and whether normie R friends will look the other way as fascism happens.

MAGA is forced now to actually negotiate a bipartisan agreement to fund the government cuz they burned thru their annual chance to just 51% deals on their Big Corrupt Bill. If they’d negotiated a real bill for all Americans, they’d have other options now, gov would be open. That should be the lede.

Trump’s lies about imaginary wars he dreamt he stopped all by himself are a coping beard for the fact that he’s a spectacular failure on his biggest promise: Russia-Ukraine. Just a weak, transparent bit. Made up a list to conceal his flop. Historically insecure dude, super straightforward.

It's really not about politics anymore. The apparatus of the Republican Party has simply become a haven for bad people.

Eric Trump (with a straight face): “We’re saving God”

*Every headline on this should (but won’t) be:

Trump’s Kid: I Too Am Insane

**If this segment was Eric’s :60 to talk before an annual asylum review board, he’s going right back into the padded room strapped to his bed for another year

The unspoken moral of this clip is the previous guy is giving an in-depth, thoughtful essentialist answer on the subject of our time, while the current guy, if asked to summarize & rebut the previous guy’s answer, could only do so at the comprehension &
communication level of a diseased houseplant.

US Constitution wasn’t crafted to achieve the lowest crime stats or whatever from a heavy-handed fed. This place is for maximum freedoms & distrust of centralized government, read better. Submissive “peace” isn’t peace, it’s authoritarianism—which we were born to crush. Trump’s America is unAmerican

New in PN: Stephen Miller's radically bogus idea of "plenary authority"

"Miller’s contention about ICE officers 'having to street battle against antifa every night' is objectively absurd. Courts cannot possibly be required to accept anything Trump says, no matter how disconnected from reality."

Stephen Miller's radically bogus idea of "plenary authority"

This is not how the Constitution works.

I guess it’s fine that MTG criticizes Trump now, but reality is his campaign policy proposals were bound to do EXACTLY this harm. Easy to talk shit now w/out Marge simultaneously doing a personal mea culpa for misleading people to believe this openly selfish idgit planned to help them. Address..that

Main reason there’s a maybe-peace deal now in Israel & wasn’t a year ago is now Gaza is leveled, wasn’t then. Duh. POTUS facilitated the destruction w/ Bibi. It’s next-level news illiteracy to claim Trump is some kind of “peace” hero by enabling annihilation to game a future submission headline.

Imagine publishing your deep thots about “war pimps” & “systemic corruption” & thinking that would make for a defense of <checks notes> Russia. RUSSIA lol

MAGA has platformed some of the dumbest, most gullible nimrods on 🌎—has to absolutely delight Putin. Too easy. Such a lucky boy.

Trump had a better chance at the Heisman than he did this Nobel Peace Prize he so pathetically begged for. Hard to find a human less fit for that kind of honor, he’s its antithesis. If his pressure campaign had worked, the value of that award woulda been tanked forever. I think they understood that.

And one more thing. Anyone who publicly begs for, and publicly demands, the Nobel Peace Prize should never be given the Nobel Peace Prize.
