Joni reaching for a playbook written 20 years ago because it’s literally all they got and man, is it pathetic.

Clearly an item from Putin’s to do list. I sure hope some patriot in our Intelligence Community comes forward before Trump completes the list.

When did the rules for training change? Or for even salutes?

In 25 years of service we were NEVER allowed to fire live rounds anywhere near the civilian population.

Who the fuck is in charge here?

USMC! You have FAILED!

Take your red stripes off and go home.

Failure on an epic scale.

FAIL!

Q: Why are my electricity bills going up?

A: You are likely (a) in a region impacted by Trump tariffs and retaliatory price hikes in electricity from Canada, or (b) in a region subsidizing billionaire-owned data farms for AI or crypto mining.

It’s not because of immigrants or drag queens.

This will be catastrophic for national security when this spreads to other allies and it will.

So many things have
torn us apart for so long, but when the Portland #NoKings march goes under the Hawthorne Bridge and everyone shouts as loud as they can and everyone is getting high on the collective roar we make you realize this thing is bringing us together and get shivers in your frog suit

Bessent’s friends have huge investments in Argentina.

Elon Musk does too.

Bessent is sending $40 billion of our money to Argentina with more to come.

There is zero oversight. Congress not involved.

One unelected man is sending a fortune to Argentina and nobody will stop him,

So weak that Putin need only make a phone call and Trump is back in line. Release the Epstein files and watch Putin’s influence shrivel up.

It’s a shame there’s no more bureau of labor statistics because we won’t have any indication when this happens.

the whole point of mass protest is to demonstrate overwhelming opposition to the political direction, at a scale that can't be cracked down on

dress comfortably and stay away from anyone inciting violence, but don't let clout chasers scare you into losing sight of how the basic concept works
