How are we this deep into the Trump era without even one puff piece about his make up and hair care routine?

Reporters should start every press conference asking him to confirm his name, age, birthdate etc.

Just to set a baseline for what he’s willing to claim knowledge of…

There’s no evidence that the survivor of this strike committed any crime, which is even more evidence Trump et al are just murdering random human beings in the Caribbean.

This is the NYTimes today on Trump's original claims about the ballroom construction.

WTF! If you thought it was unrealistic when he said it, why didn't you press him on the actual plans?

It's just, "Oh that Trump! There he goes again!"

This is insane making.

How in the fuck did no one know Trump was going to demolish a chunk of the White House until the bulldozers showed up?

How did this happen without weeks of advanced reporting on it and concerned op-eds about The People’s House and history and who has the right to blah blah blah?

Unbelievable.

She should just show up and sign the Epstein bill. No one in the Republican Party gives a shit about their oaths so why bother swearing anyone in anymore?

Some of those are Eisenhower using the Guard to enforce desegregation so a little different than what Trump is planning.

When Trump says “you don’t know anything about it” he may sound condescending but I think this is the best his brain can muster when he’s trying to hide something when he’s thinking “you can’t know anything about it.”

Don’t ask the White House whether it is or isn’t shit make them deny that it is shit. Which it obviously is. There is no joke if it ain’t, NYTimes!

Holy fucking shit. I'm not naive about the historical war crimes of the United States but it's still shocking to see the government committing murder so out in the open, enthusiastically, and clearly done solely for political gain (Epstein distraction!)

🚨 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.”

Which is to say, why do people keep phrasing this “we’re transitioning into” or “the looming threat of” or “further indications that” or whatever the over horizon view is. Were there people! We’ve been there since January!

The reason Trump is bailing out Argentina at the expense of the American taxpayers and farmers is because they know where all the OG nazis ended up 70 years ago.

This is how democrats need to talk every time they get in front of a mic but remember: Trump and his cult have no intention to be held accountable by anyone, ever. Plan accordingly.

Pritzker: "Stephen Miller is clearly ordering people to break the law. So he should know that yeah, it may be three years from now that he is held accountable, but I think it's important for them to know that whatever they do now, it's not like we're going to forget."

These assholes think they’re in Sicario of playing GTA. Just the most heinous unprofesssional shit. But I would guarantee this what they are encouraged to do.

Create chaos and danger to provoke a violent response to rationalize the military crackdown Trump is drooling for.

It’s not that hard to grasp. The government has been taken over by a fascist death cult. They aren’t following the law or the Constitution because the only thing that matters is the will of their Leader. It’s happened in other countries and it’s existed here before as well: see the Jim Crow South.
