“The average Argentina is struggling financially at the end of the month. Javier Melei is a clown that they don’t know how to get rid of,” a friend of mine e in Buenos Aires tells me. The $20M FROM Trump (our taxpayer dollars) went to help that “clown” stay in power.

Fifteen presidents have invoked the Insurrection Act.

Trump claims one president used it 28 times in the course of a single presidency.

The Insurrection Act has been used a total of 30 times over the course of its 217-year history.

Trump: "I'm allowed as you know as president, like 50% of the presidents have used the Insurrection Act. Everybody agrees you're allowed to use that and there is no more court cases, there is no more anything. We're trying to do it in a nicer manner, but we can always use the Insurrection Act."

🔥 DemCast’s Director of Partnerships, Jamie Carter, didn’t just organize the Salt Lake City #NoKings rally — she lit it on fire.

Her powerful, rebellious speech moved 15,000 strong, proving that courage is contagious and democracy’s defenders don’t back down. 💙 #USDemocracy

holy fuck, Donny gave a batshit speech at Charlie Kirk's memorial where, I shit you not, at one point he bragged about being better at not getting killed. who does that? a moron, that's who. thank you for your attention to my post in which in take this dipshit to task. link is here: bit.ly/3Ld5dEM

now, did you have ‘I’m better at ducking bullets than Charlie Kirk’ on your bingo card? congratulations, you’re our winner!

all perfectly normal stuff. who among us hasn’t spoken at a memorial and bragged about not getting murdered? who among us hasn’t then gone on to talk about ourselves some more?

that’s what Bullet Duckin’ Donny did through the whole thing. he told one insane “anecdote” after another about himself, occasionally punctuating it with something like ‘and Charlie thought that was awesome.’ you know, just to keep things topical.

but again, it’s all perfectly normal stuff. who among us hasn’t used the commemoration of a dear friend’s life to brag about how you single-handedly saved Los Angeles?

SHUT THE FUCK UP, REPUBLICANS. "NO KINGS" PROTESTORS DO NOT "HATE AMERICA" — BUT I HAVE A LONG LIST OF SHITWEASELS WHO DO, AND YOU CAN READ ABOUT IT IN MY POWERFUL POST THAT NO ONE THOUGHT POSSIBLE. THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER. LINK IS HERE: bit.ly/43lAtYs

let’s start with those doughy incel pantloads who just got caught texting each other about how awesome Hitler and gas chambers and slavery are.

these unfuckable shitkazoos thought it would be fun to try to outdo each other in seeing who could post the vilest slurs about blacks, gays, Jews, women, immigrants and any number of marginalized groups.

ask any one of these ‘young Republicans’ if they love America, and they’d all sprain their necks nodding in agreement. well, guess what: you can’t claim to love America when you hate half the people who live in it.

oh, and here’s a pro tip: you can’t love America and Hitler at the same time. sorry, but that shit is incompatible. we had an actual war about this, remember? pick a fucking side.

DONNY CONVICT, DR. OZ AND BOBBY BRAINWORMS (CREEPY LOSERS!) SURE ARE OBSESSED WITH BIRTH RATES AND GENETICS. IT'S ALMOST AS IF THEY'RE TRYING TO CREATE THEIR OWN "THOUSAND YEAR REICH." THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO ANOTHER MAGNIFICENT POST LIKE NO ONE THOUGHT POSSIBLE. READ IT HERE: bit.ly/3L2Lgk5

seriously, though — when these shitweasels start flapping their gums about ‘Trump babies’ and how women should be breeding for the greater good of America, we should all be alarmed.

‘the fundamental greater force in society is about making babies’ — it’s like those words want to leap off the page and form a swastika. because you know who else told women their primary role was ‘baby factory’? of course you do.

remember when Donald Trump claimed he had a 'peace plan' for Gaza, and it turned out to actually be the concept of a sketch of a sort of a cease fire? remember how our press shit itself lauding Trump as legendary peacemaking genius? that was fun, wasn't it? the cease fire didn't even last a week

DUMB "FUCKWIT" WEREWOLF TED CRUZ ACTUALLY THINKS GEORGE SOROS IS PAYING PROTESTERS. HOW WOULD THAT EVEN WORK? MANY ARE SAYING TO ME "SIR! SIR! NO ONE INSULTS TED CRUZ LIKE YOU DO, SIR! HOW DO YOU DO IT? SIR!" THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO MY WRITE-UP OF NO KINGS DAY. LINK IS HERE: bit.ly/3Jk3mxu

hey, did you know that Ted Cruz has a side hustle as a US Senator? I know, I was shocked when I found out, too. I thought all he did was podcast, and put his unctuous werewolf face on Fox News.

anyway, here’s a fact check for Teddy C: fuck off.

Ted Cruz, you odious dumbfuck. do you actually think George Soros is cutting seven million paychecks for the protesters? I have a question: is Soros withholding taxes and issuing 1099s, or do we need to be keeping track of that shit ourselves? is an inflatable frog costume a deductible business expense?

fuck me, did I even remember to save the receipts?
