I remember when my toddler reached the poopoo/peepee stage of humor. It was a really fun part of being a parent. Notably, we did not give him the nuclear codes.

The president needs your help! He's collecting diarrhea for his plane. He has a plane that's 99% toilet with other people's diarrhea in it and he wears a little crown when he drives it around. Brave patriots please send your loose stool to your favorite diarrhea president for his diarrhea plane.

The crowd did not disperse, an instead started playing Tubthumping by Chumbawamba — I get knocked down, but I get up again.

"I think there's no question that Donald Trump wants [John Bolton's] prosecution to proceed because that book makes [Trump] look like a fool. ... The classified information allegedly in the drafts wasn't the issue, the issue was that Trump didn't like how he knew Bolton was going to portray him."

🚨 NEWS: Colombian President Gustavo Petro accuses U.S. government officials of murder and violating Colombia’s sovereignty and says the Trump-ordered strike of a boat in the Caribbean killed a fisherman named Alejandro Carranza.

Screenshot of a post on X from Colombian President Gustavo Petro’s verified account. The post reads: “US government officials have committed a murder and violated our sovereignty in territorial waters. Fisherman Alejandro Carranza had no ties to the drug trade and his daily activity was fishing. The Colombian boat was adrift and had its distress signal up due to an engine failure. We await explanations from the US government.”

From the organization that kettled protesters and beat the shit out of people and even drove their cars into protesters during the BLM protests this is genuinely shocking. Including them making a post about first amendment rights.

Hasan: The great irony is of course that Donald Trump is the son of an immigrant. The grandson of an immigrant and married to an immigrant. In fact two of his three wives were immigrants, proving yet again that immigrants will do the jobs that even Americans are not willing to do.
