Me at my next job interview: “….. and I immediately knew which one was a giraffe.” Interviewer: “get out.”

Would love to comment on this post, but am unable to? What prevents Trump from doing the same for every government building, roadway, bridge, etc. he can't get his name on.

Trump now threatening to RIP DOWN Kennedy Center:

The northern Gulf of Mexico, or some other gulf?

CNN@cnn.com

A tropical storm or depression is likely to form over the northern Gulf on Monday and then quickly push inland into parts of Texas and Louisiana with flooding rainfall. https://cnn.it/4qJ3rMu

Hey Jim Jordan and Freedom Caucus just checking in to see if the same idea applies? You wanted to see the side car agreement from Obama and opposed the money he gave Iran. How is that today?

PENCE: “The idea of creating a fund that could compensate people that assaulted police officers and vandalized the Capitol that day is totally unacceptable — My hope is the administration will drop the idea entirely."

Congressional Republicans: "Between you and me the ballroom thing is insanity and is hurting us. I don't like it, or him. But look, he's undoing all racial progress we've seen in our lifetimes, and we never could pull that off ourselves, so you know, I'm sticking with him."

Trump: We can't take care of daycare. We're a big country, we have 50 states, all these people, we're fighting wars. It's not possible for us to take care of daycare, Medicaid, Medicare, all these things

Every time some right wing fucker talks about migrants who commit crimes, I go ask them why they're not commenting on the crimes that Jan6ers have gone onto commit (two have been arrested this week). This guy features prominently.

Since receiving presidential pardons, dozens of former Capitol rioters have gotten into more legal trouble. In Florida, Andrew Paul Johnson was sentenced to life in prison for child sex abuse. n.pr/4rUa1zD

If Jeff Bezos could afford to spend $75 million on the Melania movie & $500 million for a yacht to sail off to his $55 million wedding to give his wife a $5 million ring, please don't tell me he needed to fire one-third of the Washington Post staff. Democracy dies in oligarchy.

Last week, Secretary Rubio told a Senate committee that Treasury had an agreement with auditors to oversee Venezuelan assets. Treasury Secretary Bessent told me no such agreement exists.

NanC Lo reposted

The Trump Administration claims the Treasury has authority over Venezuelan assets. I asked Treasury Secretary Bessent directly what grants him this authority. He seemed to have no idea that he controlled these assets, let alone the authority behind them.

RAND PAUL: If a country bombed our air defense missiles, captured & removed our president, & blockaded our country, would that be considered an act of war? RUBIO: We just don't believe this operation comes anywhere close to the constitutional definition PAUL: Of course it would be an act of war!

I don't know, call me crazy, but maybe instead of "falling out of love with liberalism," how about they're "falling out of love with its transphobic monstrous author?" Have you considered that?

Absolutely reprehensible that AG Bondi is offering ICE stand down in exchange for access to voting rolls. Outrageous and disgusting. It shows ICE is in Minneapolis is not for law enforcement purposes. Instead it’s a way to stir up shit in blue states and extort them.

In the wake of another fatal shooting in Minneapolis. AG Pam Bondi sends Gov. Walz a letter today making several asks including: "Allow DOJ Civil Rights division access to state voter rolls"

If you think American citizens should be summarily executed by masked federal agents, you’re not a patriot. If you think the lawless goons loyal to our demented pedophile criminal president are greater than the people of Minnesota, you’re not a patriot. You’re a fucking Nazi.

“protesters” are not “clashing” with law enforcement. violent federal agents have waged war on minneapolis and regular people are telling them to get the fuck out. and last time i checked being in a group chat doesn’t mean you’re in a professional organization. it means you have friends.

His rationalization for this is that SOME of the Somali refugees in MN have been found guilty of some type of fraud. But SOME people of every demographic and citizenship/immigration status there is have committed crimes. But we know what this is really about and it’s NOT crime.

Marco Rubio is reportedly saying Maduro will stand trial in US courts. Which means it’s now the US administration’s position that US courts can hold foreign presidents, but not the US president, accountable for crimes.
