Americans have lived through the first 9 months of the Trump presidency and they think he’s failed. Only 37% approve of his presidency; 60% disapprove.

On his handling of the economy, only 34% approve; 63% disapprove.

My sign was handmade, too. I guess it never occurred to these MAGAts in politics & the media that people would actually protest against their fuhrer for free. Probably because they themselves are paid to betray the country.

Yes, Pam. That's right. The protesters were paid with signs. Dumbass.

Well no shit, dumbass. Everyone of any merit whatsoever has been telling you this since before you were inaugurated. But you've just been too pig-ignorant, venal, and stupid to listen.

Trump Says Ukraine Summit With Putin Would Be a ‘Waste of Time’

The administration has concluded that Russia is clinging to territorial ambitions that make a peace deal with Ukraine impossible.

There are still LEAVES ON THE TREES in the Boston aerial photo. The 2017 Women's March was held in JANUARY. The brain rot on the right is real.

So, basically anyone who bought a house with a subprime loan?

Half of Americans would buy a haunted house if it were a bargain, research finds

A recent survey looked into how willing Americans are to buy a haunted home

Whiney, Spineless Hand-Wringers: "Oh, but it will make us look petty."

Fuck you. Tear down & bury Trump's bullshit like the Germans buried the fucking fuhrerbunker after the war. 2028 campaign slogan: Tear that Trump shit down.

Sorry, Halligan. You don't get to retroactively declare several days worth of texts as "off the record," especially when you're violating DoJ communications rules that you've already fired others for allegedly violating.

If there weren't evidence severely damaging to the Republicans, they would've been released already. Even a slow child can see that, which is where Trump comes into the picture, slow children being the only ones he can catch these days.

I think it would be funny, not to mention just, if Trump were charged as an accessory.

One of the J6 domestic terrorists Trump pardoned was just charged with threatening to MURDER Rep.Jeffries at an event in NYC this week. Turns out these people were actually in prison for a reason.

Apparently, the harder they preach against the gays, the harder they are around children.

The pattern of "religious" men abusing children is real and documented. It's infuriating that LGBTQ+ people bear the brunt of moral panic rhetoric while the actual harm to children is coming from the very people doing the loudest screaming about "protecting" them. #NotADragQueen
