  • “‘I love the smell of deportations in the morning,’” Trump wrote on his social media site. “Chicago about to find out why it’s called the Department of WAR.”

    And somehow this shit doesn't get him impeached...

    Can you imagine if even this fascist-adjacent turd Dubya had said this? He would have had his ass dragged out of the White House in a New York minute. But somehow this is now acceptable for a sitting President to say. And all the other things...

  • You know, as a younger man priding myself in having a fair and balanced political opinion based on facts and logic, I used to think that if people can strike it rich, it's okay as long as they don't ruin the lives of others doing so.

    Not anymore. As I aged, I realized the motherfuckers were either born rich, or became rich on the backs of others - and more often than not, both.

    I still have nothing against honest rich men. But what that means is, close to retirement in 2025, I increasingly want all rich men dead.

    Because the truth is, in our society, there is no honest rich man. If you're rich today, somebody else is struggling in life so you can have it good. That's just how it is today.

  • The backdoors have been there for years without dinners.

    Yes of course. Corruption and sucking up to the powers that be is nothing new.

    What's new - at least in the United States - is the willingness of those ultra-rich sycophants to perform the Dear Leader song-and-dance publicly without any shame. It's really quite nauseating to watch.

  • Trump cozies up to Big Tech specifically because their corporate surveillance network can be co-opted to turbocharge the fascist dictatorship he's putting in place, and also because he needs their resources for his crypto scams.

  • That doesn't mean it's not sickening.

    Also, fucking Bill Gates isn't running a company. He's just there because he likes being around disgusting psychopathic billionaires. They're his kind, he's among peers.

    Tech leaders take turns flattering Trump at White House dinner

  • "The bar was so low it was practically a tripping hazard in Hell, yet here's Trump, limbo dancing with the devil."

    I don't know where I read that one but I liked it.

  • Well yeah, but if your argument is that the DoD needed a name that better describes its role, Trump should have renamed it the Department of Pork.

    Because that's mostly what it does: feed the military-industrial complex.

  • I don't much like Trump, but for once he's right: the US Department of Defense is mostly doing war in the world, and very little defense. When was the last time the US armed forces defended the country?

  • Trump is such an unfunny bore… What a missed opportunity to rename it the Hexagon and troll the hell out of everybody.

  • How can a an Epstein victim vote for Trump? Didn't she see him hanging out and being all pal-like with her abuser? And if she didn't, how could she not have known the two were good buddies?

    If I was an Epstein victim, even if I wasn't sure someone who was friend with Epstein did or didn't do something wrong, I sure wouldn't vote for him just in case.

  • MTG isn't a human being. She's trash-incarnate. But the conspiracy theory rot in her brain is stronger than her loyalty to Trump.

    Make no mistake: she doesn't give a shit about the Epstein victims. All she cares about he exposing the deep-state or whatever nonsense she believes in. It just so happens that it makes her appear on the right side of the issue for once. But she's on the right side for the wrong reasons.

  • Remember: when a Republican prays for the victims of something or god-blesses someone, it's a signal that they won't do anything more.

  • A load of shit and a distraction from the Epstein scandal, is what that is.

  • If you're not bothered by your conscience and you're not worried about being put on trial after the Trump regime collapses, you can join the American Gestapo: they'll give you all of $50k to leave your humanity at the door and turn into a beast, and ruining other people's lives by kidnapping them in the street at gunpoint like a common thug isn't really work.

  • Are you somehow implying that somebody in the Trump regime may have a conflict of interest?

    Surely not...

    The Art of the Pardon: Trump’s Guide to Rewarding Crooks

  • How that fat wino ever got close enough to a woman to be in a position to assault her in the fisrt place is the most puzzling question in this case. What a repugnant man...

  • the former FLOTUS

    Melania's title is Gold Digger in Chief.

  • Do an end-run around the crazy bobby brainworm and his ilk.

    You know, if you push this logic to its logical conclusion, you should also go around FEMA, federal education, federal SS paramilitary disguised as immigration officers, illegal federal taxes disguised as emergency tariffs...

    And when your state has enough federal nonsense to go around, it might want to defederate entirely, and that's called secession.

    Your state of Colorado might not be big enough to amount to much on its own in the world, but larger states like California, with the GDP of large nations, really should consider it. Because while the federal ship is still afloat, the entire deck and rigging are on fire at this point.

  • With Trump and his sycophantic appointed hacks, "If you hire clowns, you get a circus." has never held more true.
