This is just perfection Wow ..

Trump: "That's what a lawyer tells you to answer when you're guilty. Just say, 'Not to my knowledge.'"

But Talarico is gay for eating a vegetarian breakfast burrito

Every Texas bar has that one guy. He’s loud. He’s obnoxious. He makes all the women feel uncomfortable. He adds his drink to your tab when you’re not looking. That’s Ken Paxton — and I don’t know about y’all, but I’m done picking up his tab.

At what point do companies realize that "new and improved with AI" is not actually a selling point but something that actively repulses their current customers?

What in the ever loving racist incorrect mouth dropping is this??? The Arab world “produces” plenty of “science”… which is all the more impressive since the West periodically bombs all their shit.

NEW: The DOGE operative who gutted USAID -- firing thousands of employees and canceling lifesaving programs -- never actually signed the paperwork that's legally required for him to be employed by the agency.

Trump's affordability message: "You could even come to Mar-a-Lago. You'll be my guest. The problem is that for $5,000 the most you'll be able to buy is a hamburger and maybe a small dessert. I'm not even sure you could buy that! No, don't go there. It's not a good place if you're price conscious."

Middle East dictators created a massive slush fund for Jared Kushner. trib.al/fXvwuJt

The word for this is racism

Calm

As they try to portray Obama as the elitist… so unserious…

Any town that agrees to host a Trump convention or rally that doesn't ask this notorious deadbeat for money in advance is ridiculously incompetent. Trump has stiffed MANY cities. It's a lesson he learned when he didn't pay his subcontractors during construction of buildings.

Michele Tafoya claims the fact that her website doesn't mention that she's a Republican is just an unintentional oversight

“Despite the damage done by the U.S. and Israel, Iran retains a stockpile of hundreds to thousands of missiles and has used the lull in fighting to shore up its defenses and prepare new plans for retaliation.”

STOP! STOP! I'm already voting for Democratic candidates. I don't need another really good reason.

when they show you who they are, believe them it was never just about illegal immigration

Trump laments animals being fried to death on solar panels, gushes once again about Jon Husted's ass (but disses Ken Paxton's), and brags about "making an absolute fortune" off the Iran War during an uninhibited even by his standards rally in Lubbock Supercut:

Tim Scott on Hannity's show lies that El-Sayed's parents "funded Osama bin Laden"

His brain is completely broken

We’re all trying to find the guy who did this…

"The Government of the United States of America is not, in any sense, founded on the Christian religion." --The Treaty of Tripoli, unanimously ratified by Congress on June 7, 1797

People are busy. They don't have time to understand the language they speak

the markets have essentially become a gauge for how much corruption the government in power is going to let the business class get away with

Free question for reporters: "Mr. Vice President, can you tell us specifically which names of countries you can't pronounce, or did you just say that to be racist?"

Besides being racist and false, this suggests science is only carried out by a few geniuses who claim prizes, whereas in reality science relies on smart and diligent people committed to collaboration and discovery without special recognition.

Scott Galloway on #Pivot with @karaswisher.bsky.social : let our trillionaires cook, but we need campaign finance reform. Jeez, not sure why such a smart guy would say such a stupid thing.

“…I won Minnesota three times, but they didn't give me the Victories…”

A 2025 Nobel Prize winner in chemistry, Omar Yaghi is the son of Palestinian refugees who grew up in Jordan. He just left the US to move to China after raising concerns about rising anti-immigrant sentiment, like the kind shown here. donmoynihan.substack.com/p/china-than...

Some unhinged comments and quote posts on this. Machine learning with artificial neural networks has transformed the environmental sciences, and rightly deserved the 2024 Nobel Prize in Physics. This isn’t using a chatbot to predict hurricanes.

Trump is BIG MAD about Obama saying the White House now looks like Saddam opened a Cheesecake Factory: "He's not a smart guy. He's not smart at all ... for you to say it's a Cheesecake Factory, that just shows why you were a lousy president"

ok

Abdul El-Sayed is a Rhodes Scholar, with degrees from the University of Michigan, Oxford, and Columbia. 84% of Rhodes Scholars are Democrats or Independents, compared with just 14% Republicans. It’ll be great having Abdul in the Senate.

These people have cooked their brains to the extent that they literally cannot complete simple, normal human tasks without being augmented by machines which think for them. This is not a social improvement. It's a disability.

Greed

BRENNAN: The DOJ lawsuit demands the Alaska result not be certified if voters are confused. The confusion is defined as Sen. Sullivan not winning. BLANCHE: That's not what it says BRENNAN: I'm quoting from it. You are telling them not to certify it. What right does the federal govt have?
