I find it's faster to replace all Trump quotes with "some dumb shit." For example:

Pandas returned to DC this year and Trump said "*some dumb shit*."

It saves time and brain cells and it's always true.

Brazil’s former Dictator Bolsonaro will begin serving his 27 year prison sentence for plotting a coup in his country.

If only Merrick Garland had gotten the job done when we had the chance and sent the orange felon and his insurrectionists to jail where they belong. Scumbag.

If we're not at war, Pete Hegseth is a murderer. If we are at war, Pete Hegseth is still a murderer. He's a murderer. And you don't need to go to The Hague to hold him accountable because there are perfectly good, American laws AGAINST MURDER.

Pete Hegseth Should Be Charged With Murder
No matter how you look at the strikes on alleged “drug boats”—as acts of war or attacks on civilians—Hegseth has committed a crime and should be prosecuted.

Kavanaugh Stop.
Agents in Key Largo, Florida ripped this woman wearing medical scrubs out of her car as she screamed she is a US citizen. Agents cuffed her and put her in one of their cars.

She was eventually let go, per David Goodhue of the Miami Herald, who also took this footage:

Donny Crimes strikes again!
NEW: Trump commuted the sentence of billion dollar Ponzi schemer David Gentile days into his sentence.

Gentile's business history is long intermingled with former oligarch Michael Cherney, wanted by Interpol for alleged ties to Russian organized crime.

This is the easiest imaginable thing to run on as a challenger/outsider: "We need to ban members of Congress from trading stocks."
After becoming a congressional leader, a politician’s stock portfolio beats out those of peers by 47 (!!!) percentage points a year through trades timed around bills and firms that later get government contracts

How long until Trump goes after ADP?
🚨 CNBC on latest jobs numbers: "A big miss on ADP payrolls. The private payroll company saying private payrolls shed 32,000 workers in Nov. That's the 4th negative number in past 6 months. The estimate was for +40,000, so the street was off ... this may be coming from being hammered by the tariffs"

Important: WaPo is doubling down on its reporting on Trump's bombings, asserting expressly that the second strike was ordered "when" the two survivors were "detected."

Hegseth is suggesting he didn't see the survivors, but the question remains: Were they visible, or not? Time to see the video.

Trump can control hurricanes with his mind? I guess that makes sense... he's so racist he made Hurricane Maria hit Puerto Rico and Hurricane Melissa hit Jamaica.
