Canada: Knock knock...
MAGA: Who's there?
Canada: Orange.
MAGA: "Orange" who?
Canada: Orange you glad you imposed self-destructive tariffs and started a trade war you can't win?

Israel already broke the ceasefire and killed at least 9 Palestinians.

Netanyahu never met a truce he wouldn't break and Trump never met a career criminal he wouldn't pardon.

The two are truly a match made in the darkest recesses of hell.

People who live in places that have few to no immigrants?

Mississippi, West Virginia, Wyoming and Montana are some of the deepest red States in the Union and only about 2.5% of their populations are foreign born.

That's one in forty.

It's much easier to irrationally hate people you've never met.

I knew an 80 y/o who was literally in the Mississippi Klan. He used the N-word and other racial epithets constantly - (I'm a minority, btw). But I had more respect for him owning his beliefs than for MAGAs who claim "Dems are the real racists!" while posting the above stuff anonymously.

Cowards.

The residents of Glenn County voted for Trump by more than 2-to-1 margin.

There's this whole Biblical thing about reaping and sowing that comes to mind.

ffs, PLEASE tell me she was roasted to a crisp by her commenters.

I can't imagine being this stupid. I have a vivid imagination. I can realistically envisage being a flying magical dragon who poops cotton candy but I cannot comprehend what it's like to be this stupid and cocksure at the same time.

I bet the trans soldier can walk up and down ramps without holding someone's hand.

Because Trump has a whole party of soulless ghouls protecting monsters like him from the Epstein files.

But even Prince Andrew's own family won't stick up for him anymore. (Though I'm sure they'd give him plenty of money to quietly disappear.)

They're gonna put Damien Omen IV in charge of the sixth largest social media platform on earth?

Awesome.

Starlink satellites are supposed to have a 5 year life span, but they often fail much earlier. Which means under IDEAL conditions, the whole ~8,500 satellite constellation has to be replaced every 5 years at a cost of >$2 billion.

And Elmo wants 40,000 of those things in the sky.

Sheesh.

Fuentes is appealing to all the MAGAs who don't believe the "official narrative" on the Kirk shooting. Among other things, he's been attacking Kirk's widow for not crying and immediately taking over TPUSA.

Candace Owens is working the same grift - and probably gaining followers, as well.

Not just "now." ffs, the GOP tried more than once to put Roy Moore in the Senate - despite the fact that Moore's predilection for young girls was so well known that he was banned from the local mall for perving on children.

Moore was the Republican Alabama Supreme Court's Chief Justice.

Reagan axed the Fairness Doctrine. And networks decided the News needed to make money, so ad-buys became the news' lifeblood and consequently the news stopped reporting on corporate chicanery and crimes.

For-profit news is a wholly owned subsidiary of the corporations, and they really like fascism.

This smells like Nvidia and OpenAI's little investment circulation scam to fake revenues and artificially pump valuation.

Seems like everything in business is a scam these days.

But Musk in particular is incapable of ever dealing legally or honestly or ethically. Elmo is a 300 lb POS.

Considering his grandpa was a stock manipulating insider trading scumbag and vocal antisemite who lobbied to appease Hitler and believed the Jews "brought [Kristallnacht] on themselves" - it's kind of amazing that RFK Jr is going to be remembered as history's WORST Kennedy.

Trump wants everything Hitler wanted, but tackier.

Every member of the Trump Admin prolly thinks they're secretly in charge. They're all megalomaniacal douchenozzles with delusions of grandeur leveraging their closeness to Trump for power.

As for Trump's reaction to this, FOX/Newsmax/etc won't cover this, so Trump will probably never know about it.

Binance website threads are saying that Galish lost his investors $30,000,000 USD due to Trump's crypto crash.

You know, the crypto crash Trump's kid Baron made at least $80,000,000 off using insider knowledge and some unnamed insider cleared over $190,000,000.

ngl, the RENO 911: ICE reboot looks 🔥🤣

Remember kids, whether in ICEland or Zombieland, Rule #1 is CARDIO.

The only good decision Stephen Miller ever made is to stop painting on his hairline.

As a Californian, I gotta ask what's the advantage of being in this stupid union? We have to pay for their illegal occupations, ICE raids, grifts, cronyism, giveaways to billionaires - and in return we get no CDC, no EPA, no NIH, no safety, no security, no rights, no law, no order.

Where's the ROI?

It's TRUE! Lyme disease IS a government conspiracy!!!

I overheard Elvis telling Bigfoot all about this while standing at the non-dairy creamer station in a Buc-ees off the I-10 just before he gassed up his flying saucer and flew into the sky.

Elvis wouldn't lie about something so important.

Even the far-right leaning generals, admirals and E-9s in attendance had to be reconsidering their fealty to the fuhrer after Trump and Secretary Daydrinker's weird scolding pep rally.

And he was good in Spartacus and Jack Reacher, too. Leto was good in Fight Club and Requiem for a Dream.

I'm not hating on them. They just can't seem to carry a movie as the dashing lead hero guy like Tron Ares or Terminator Genisys.
