He's the first to be the worst ever president. Twice.
Anyone wanna take bets on the ceasefire officially breaking down right about the time the stock market closes tomorrow?
We weren’t joking when we said they elected a madman because of pronouns.
“brutality and cruelty are secret weapons with no tradeoffs that no one but us has had the balls to use” is a foundational belief-system element in the right-wing mass public; unfortunately, we have replacement-level members of the right-wing mass public as president and SecDef right now
The biggest story in the world right now is that the president of the United States is a demented old man who takes pleasure in torturing and killing people and is committing crimes with impunity. And yet most legacy media outlets are too cowardly to tell it like it is.
trump an announcing that the US is now officially a terror state. The American people voted trump in. If they don't stop him this is on them too.
You can really tell America is winning this war when the president panic posts “open the fuckin’ strait, you crazy bastards” at 5 am on Easter Sunday along with an extension on their deadline
Unless the US Government is backstopping the Time Value of Money portion of, you know, not having a ship while a new one gets built, and other liabilities associated with employee loss or externalities, this is functionally useless
U.S. will insure losses up to $40 billion for tankers brave enough to transit the Strait of Hormuz. Berkshire Hathaway and Liberty Mutual are among six new insurers with which the federal government is partnering to provide maritime reinsurance to ships traveling through the Persian Gulf.
blaming the left for ICE is just straight up bad faith bullshit, akin to claiming that the right embraced trump because people criticized mitt romney that one time. 1
He’s been processing the hat for like 10 minutes now.
Our sages teach us that "the truth is, these are not very bright guys, and things got out of hand."
Iran just reportedly hit an Oracle data center in Dubai and i can't stop thinking about how good it would feel to see my tax dollars spent firing Tomahawk cruise missiles at data centers.
This motherfucker never met a stupid idea he didn't love:
Every woman willingly entering Trump's orbit: "I'm different. I'm not like those other women. I get Trump. I worship him. He doesn't hate women. He hates disloyalty. Those other women weren't willing to commit." Every woman exiting Trump's orbit: "Well... fuck. He actually hates women."
in trumps perfect world of impermanence every event he does not have any actual answer for this minute is two to three weeks away
Trump says US to end war in Iran within ‘2 to 3 weeks’ ft.trib.al/CQvF96F

I need my law friends to be reacting to the birthright citizenship kerfuffle the same way they would react to a presidential attempt to declare war or enforce a rejected treaty.
It appears bluster, hubris, sputtering incompetence and white Christian jingoistic bloodlust aren't particularly useful for actual war. This is why you don't let B-team propagandist drunkies run the Pentagon.
Iran took out a fucking E-3 Sentry AWACS parked on the ground. that's the literal definition of high-value asset. great job Pete, your war is going awesome.
Spending a decade trying to elbow out a place for our bisexual books in the romance community taught me one thing above everything else: we fucking hate women. Like just flat out hate female characters.
I would dearly like some time to have a nice little nervous breakdown, I believe I’ve earned it, kthx.
