Kim Jong-un shit. Keep that phrase in your head—as it’s the proper response to most of what Trump has done since midsummer.

If you don't already, watch Colbert. He is a man with no more f*cks left to give. And it's glorious. Check out this song parody from last night's show: Mike Johnson Delays House Epstein Vote Until September

Man comes to the US from Lebanon. Starts out delivering pizzas, becomes a Nobel winning neuroscientist. Trump freezes his funding, he gets an email from China offering to move his lab “any city, any university I want" with guaranteed funding for 20 years. What are we doing?

The U.S. was undergoing a real manufacturing revival under Biden, led by semiconductors and clean tech. Trump’s extreme tariffs are now derailing that progress—raising costs, disrupting supply chains, and sabotaging America’s industrial resurgence. (US Census, 2025)

He didn’t even show up to vote for Hurricane Aid for his own state when he was a Florida Senator. He had a terrible attendance record.

THIS is why I stopped using Amazon . Bezo’s backing of Trump helps me maintain my resolve.

Amazon spent $12.7 million last year on union busting. If unions weren't so important, companies wouldn't be spending millions each year trying to break them.

Not to state the obvious, but none of them were sent to a terrorist prison in El Salvador. They all had lawyers, indictment by grand jury, a trial or a guilty plea where a judge ensured it was knowing & voluntary & access to an appeals process. In other words, all the hallmarks of due process.

Can we stop calling these atrocities "deportations." These people sold to El Salvadorian prisons were not deported. Deportation is a process that did not take place. They were rounded up and removed with no process. They were kidnapped, not deported.

CORRUPTION ALERT: Donald Trump just sold a get-out-of-jail-free card to convicted fraudster Nikola Trevor for $1.6 million in campaign donations. This presidency is a pay-to-play racket. If justice is for sale, our system will fail.
