Trump’s proposed triumphal arch would obscure the Lincoln Memorial & perfectly frame Arlington House owned by Confederate General Robert E. Lee. The arch does not frame the nation’s honored dead, but frames instead the home of the man who led the armies of the Confederacy that killed them.
Amazon founder and owner/destroyer of the Washington Post, Jeff Bezos must be a shameless sycophant and an ignoramus if he thinks Trump is more “mature” than he was in his first term.
“In the most brazen act of presidential corruption this century, President Donald J. Trump has created a $1.776 billion taxpayer-funded slush fund to finance the insurrectionists and paramilitary groups that commit violence in his name.”
Post–ABC News–Ipsos poll: 59% of Americans believe Trump doesn't have the mental sharpness necessary to lead the country. 55% think he does not have the physical health to serve as president. 54% don’t think Trump is a strong leader. 67% think Trump doesn’t carefully consider important decisions.
That is how Steve Bannon described Donald Trump's deployment of ICE agents to the nation's airports. "We can use this as a test run, as a test case, to really perfect ICE's involvement in the 2026 midterms," he told right-wing lawyer Mike Davis during his War Room podcast.
Pete Hegseth said "The U.S. will not be bound by any 'stupid rules of engagement' & will rain down '[d]eath & destruction from the sky all day.' This was never meant to be a fair fight, he said, & it is not a fair fight. We are punching them when they’re down, which is exactly how it should be.”
Colin Jost is excellent as Pete Hegseth. Well done SNL.
Get ready to be annoyed when petrol prizes go up and a) a bunch of politicos declare the government's poll ratings have gone down because Starmer didn't go in with the US on Iran and b) a bunch of politicos who support the war blame the government for increased energy costs.

Last summer, Democratic Reps. Shri Thanedar, Steve Cohen, and Stephen Lynch all voted for a resolution in Congress to “express gratitude” for ICE. While they were voting to thank ICE, Trump was actively deploying the US military to Los Angeles to crush peaceful anti-ICE protests. DUMP ALL 3.

Dean Obeidallah@deanobeidallah.bsky.social · 8mo agoThere's a special place in hell for JD Vance for defending Trump's role in Epstein's child sex ring.

A newly released photo from the Epstein files shows Brett Ratner, who directed the recently released MELANIA TRUMP DOCUMENTARY, sitting on a sofa hugging a woman, next to Epstein, who is sitting with another woman. Both women’s faces have been redacted.
Donald Trump is obsessed with the midterms and will do whatever he needs to prevent losing control of Congress. Given his unpopularity, that likely means mass voter suppression, election subversion and outright election theft.
The latest phrase that CEOs and corporate executives are using to describe their capitulation to Donald Trump is “Adaptive normalcy.” Their capitulation is neither adaptive nor normal. It is simply cowardice.
