Remember when we were all shocked that they had to dumb down the daily security briefings (and add Trump’s name on every page) so that hopefully he would read them?

Anyone wanna bet whether or not they are preparing security briefings at all now?

Q: Do you feel Israel was justified with striking when it did?

TRUMP: Striking where?

Q: In Gaza. Today. And overnight.

TRUMP: I'd have to get back to you on that

Irving Berlin wrote this song in 1941, describing how the world would react when Hitler was finally gone. Just felt like posting this modern recording now...

I mean, I agree with the sentiment but there are so many real pictures you could’ve reposted instead of this a.i. generated bullshit…

I wonder how many people call this music “Benny Hill music” without knowing who Benny Hill was?

Also, this is an appropriate usage of Benny Hill music.

I’ve seen just one counter-protester at No Kings San Diego. He’s got a Trump 2024 flag and this guy has been following him around for probably an hour playing Benny Hill and circus music.

I saw a tragically AI-generated version of this poster, so I have recreated a 100% human-made version for all your protest sign needs.

The reason gullible people believe all protesters are paid is because they can't conceive of anyone giving a shit about anyone other than themselves.

lets say a wizard has cursed you with a lot of money. you are going to become permanently brain damaged simply by being in possession of so much money. the only way out of it is to spend a lot of money on something ridiculous and not at all useful

what would you buy to break the curse?

Is this really a problem, much less one that needs legal remedy? Your website falling into the hands of your ideological opposites is no basis to suspend a valid judgement and penalty...
