🧵 I think people are looking too narrowly at the war with Iran. Is it Trump's bumbling around, or is there a plan? With the disruption of oil and natural gas, Russia and the US have increased leverage over the EU, and, by extension, Ukraine. It also creates a crisis here at home. gas prices.

We know why his family wrapped the couch in plastic.

Everytime we bring up pedophiles, conservatives leap to the defense of their favorite Republicans. Seems suspicious if you ask me.

Whatever happened to Early Access games having Early Access prices?

Imagine trying to present 240 sq ft studio apartments for $70k as some sort of proof there isn't a housing problem.

Someone needs to talk to the phone ad industry, because demonic Peter Rabbit telling me to download Tiles Survive is questionable behavior.

I'm pretty sure "extremely wealthy autocrat with warehouses and factories filled with workers living in poverty, using his money to buy politicians and build AI" could definitely be a comic book villain origin story.

These people have been protecting pedophiles for years. Now he finally wants to take a stand?

What I'm getting from all this is that the federal government is incentivizing attacking federal buildings and law enforcement. Which seems like a really weird thing for the DOJ to do.

I'd like to remind everyone, Trump still has a 70+ approval rating among Republicans polled. If you're asking, "Why doesn't Congress impeach him?" That's why. The average GOP voter does not give a fuck, that's why Thomas Massie lost his primary, and why GOP members of Congress won't do anything.

I propose a reality show where we lock all of the billionaires inside of a data center and let them figure out how to survive off AI data chips.

Hopefully, some legal expert sees this. Is Trump's $1.776 billion fund even legal? Can the DOJ really just take taxpayer funds and hand them out to whoever they deem worthy without Congress appropriating the funds? #law #lawsky

The Trump DOJ and the Trump IRS made a deal with Trump to put $1.8 billion of our tax dollars into a fund run by Trump to pay off Trump supporters.

I need job search apps to come with a "not a commission based ponzi scheme" filter.

Can someone explain why we just received an invoice from FedEx for a package delivered in September, charging import duties on tariffs that have been ruled illegal? And what are the ramifications of ignoring this $22 charge? #legal #tariffs

I hate when I'm right. www.cnn.com/2026/05/13/p...

The DOJ that Trump is in charge of, is preparing to settle with the IRS that Trump is in charge of, with possible conditions like ending audits of Trump businesses that Trump owns, plus a billion+ dollars. www.cnn.com/2026/05/13/p...

Wow, sounds like we need a national movement for a proper living wage for ALL workers, including those that depend on tips. *Checks comments* Nevermind, looks like we're going to bitch about the restaurant putting up this sign and repeat "if you can't pay a wage" platitudes. Whoo, good job guys!

It seems the only time Trump pays his bills is when he can do it with our tax dollars.

Possible engine oil shortage. If you need an oil change, do it now, or stock up for your next one at least. Went to Walmart last week and they were out of the big jugs of 5W-30. Then my girlfriend (Autozone Manager) is told to stop selling bulk oil to shops due to low stock.

Let's see if Republicans whine about this like they've been whining about the Virginia redistricting. Tennessee weighs redistricting map that could flip Memphis seat red | Fox News share.google/ftqP9TXozl1B...

What's interesting is that it only requires a simple majority to declare a war. Something the GOP has, in theory. So either they don't know if they have the votes to do it, or they support what he's doing while being too cowardly to put their names on a war declaration.

People keep bringing up the 25th Amendment. Unless he's about to nuke Europe, they aren't invoking the 25th until 2027 at the earliest. That way, Vance can rule for 2 years and still be eligible for 2 full terms.

The elites experienced an active shooter, and cried out for a $400 million ballroom funded by taxpayers. But when schoolchildren are killed, they call it "the price of freedom." Then they all get on Twitter to remind us to "condemn all political violence." They aren't afraid of us.

Why is it that when I'm looking at affordable "starter homes" on Redfin, the language is always "investment opportunity, reposition for resale, buy and hold." It's never, "if you want a fucking house to live in, this one doesn't suck."

Anyone who thinks the billionaire, rapist, criminal begging for a ballroom is persecuted is a complete fucking idiot.

Can anyone explain how Cole Allen was detained without injury after a shootout with the Secret Service, but Renee Good and Alex Pretti were executed in the street for simply protesting?

Let's be real, people in Congress probably don't even pay for gas. It's always people affected the least talking about sacrificing the most.

He also claims oil production was "shut down" under Biden. But oil production increased every year for a 4-year increase of nearly 18%.

People keep saying "there is no place for political violence in a democracy." But I never hear people say, "there is no place for political violence in a Constitutional Republic."

You know, we all know the name Lee Harvey Oswald. People are still making documentaries and conspiracies about the JFK assassination. People might even recognize the name John Hinckley Jr. But most of us can't name a single one of Trump's multiple attempted "assassins." Seems weird.

This logic transitions easily to "if there are two factions in the US, one that worships me and one that doesn't, let's kill the ones who don't."

You know it's bad when a guy with zero military experience and ties to Epstein abandons you because your foreign policy is stupid as fuck.

Insert Nicholas Cage "you don't say?" Meme here.

Crony capitalism strikes again.

This one post is like an onion, so many layers. It's just so much stupid in so few characters.

Sounds like the beginning of a bad joke. A real estate guy, a nepo realtor, and a guy with no discernible skill set other than furniture fucking walk into a peace negotiation . . .

What are the odds we can rename the Strait of Hormuz to Schrodinger's Strait? Because, depending on who you talk to, the Strait is both closed and open.

Pickup truck drivers are a special breed. I just watched one cross over parking spots, then stop and back into one of them, in an almost empty parking lot.

Someone needs to get that Hot Tub a therapist and test it for STDs. Because that had to be traumatic as fuck.

"If we raise taxes, all of the rich people will go to places like Dubai!" Yeah, I'm not so sure.

The world was already pissed off at us for creating this mess. But then Iran somehow got Trump to blockade the Strait for them lmao. Any global sentiment against Iran for blocking the Strait has now been transferred to the US.

You ever wonder if the Trump regime thinks they can keep Trump in office and replicate the 1950s post-war boom by setting up the conditions for WW3?

It's crazy how fast Republicans went from complaining about tan suits and not wearing a tie as "disrespectful to the office" to supporting things like, "I'll commit war crimes and genocide if you don't open the fucking Strait!"

His campaign said "America first," but his actions say "my supporters are suckers!"

An estimated 48,000-65,000 working age US citizens die from lack of Healthcare each year. That's more Americans than Iran ever killed. So why are we spending so much money fighting Iran instead of health insurance companies?
