Just wanted to let you know that the IRS has audited every president annually for decades now to ensure there was no corruption and the reason you didn't know that was because only one president found that to be a problem

Nothing makes someone look guiltier than forcing the Justice Department to promise never to investigate your taxes or prosecute you for anything they might find

Can someone let the AP know that violating court orders is not a sign of "executive power. " It is a sign of contempt, lawlessness and authoritarianism.

And, for the record, this was also very obviously Trump depicting himself as a doctor. About to do a prostate exam.

Do Americans know that their Vice President was in Hungary campaigning for a Putin ally to be reelected, instead of in DC during a war in which Putin is helping Iran target Americans?

Well, well… If the 14th amendment was not meant for modern immigrants, then the 2nd amendment was not meant for modern arms. #truth

The lies defining this moment in America: -The 2020 election was stolen -There’s massive voter fraud -There’s an epidemic of noncitizens voting -We’ve been “invaded” by millions of criminals -Only an authoritarian government can fix these problems -Jesus agrees with all of this

I can see the future: • Democratic president elected to clean up the massive fucking mess left by the last Republican president • Polls number tank because the media coverage shifts to why everything isn’t immediately fixed • Republican president elected to repeat cycle

Trump may be losing his mind, but let's not overlook the fact that he has always been an incompetent asshole.

Difficult to emphasize just how much a generation of kids has been taught that being dishonest, superficial, and narcissistic is the pathway to attention and therefore success

This is what they said about tariffs, too. We must all be willing to endure some short term pain so our dumbass president can implement the policies that will ensure long term pain.

Rep. Mark Alford on spiking gas prices: "I think we all know that when you have a kinetic conflict like this -- whether you want to call it a war or not -- it is going to take a little bit of sacrifice on the part of Americans"

Johnson tells the truth for once: Trumpers are leaving the brutal, corrupt and reviled Chavista/Maduro regime in place, abandoning the elected leaders of Venezuela, and giving the regime free rein to continue pillaging Venezuela and tormenting its people with US support, as long as Trump gets a cut.

Mike Johnson: "This is not a regime change. This is a demand for change in behavior by a regime ... we have a way of persuasion because their oil exports have been seized. That will bring the country to a new governance in very short order. We don't expect troops on the ground."

They used their billions to buy the media. They used the media to buy our anger. They used our anger to buy a presidency. They used the presidency to get their oil.

I get the degree of Messianic self-delusion but promising to come to the aid of Iranians who've been shot and violently killed seems a bit over the top even for Trump

What I get from the administration’s absurd plan to treat international visitors like enemies of the state is that tourism related industries are a little light on their ballroom donations.

Current US Policy: If you’re suspected of trafficking a small amount of drugs with no evidence, we will murder you, but if you’re convicted of trafficking an enormous amount of drugs with copious evidence, we will pardon you. Because we are currently a very stupid country.

When your approval rating is cratering because, among other things people think you’ve lost your grip on reality, maybe insisting it’s at a record high isn’t the move.

Creating a military conflict with Venezuela gives this administration a legal "hook" to invoke the Alien Enemies Act. In other words, the foreign war is being manufactured in order to facilitate court deference for its domestic mass deportation policy. It's a Stephen Miller Special.

I'm not sure why they bother with the "we're preventing fentanyl deaths in the US by killing fishermen who we think are transporting cocaine for eventual shipment to Europe" BS when "we're gleefully murdering brown people" would be more popular with the base?

If Ukrainians wanted to surrender they sure as hell do not need kremlin assets Witkoff and Trump as intermediaries and could surrender directly to Moscow. I am so confused why some can’t understand that Ukraine will not surrender and will never accept Russia’s 28 point plan

It's going to be fascinating seeing Republicans try to figure out what they can say about Cheney that won't get them in trouble with Trump.

Amor De Cosmos reposted

Dick Cheney did more than anyone else to build up expansive and destructive executive branch powers in the wake of 9/11; he lived to see another president turn those same powers against his own daughter. He should be a warning sign to the GOP today but too many of them are in the cult.

I must have missed the PoliSci lecture explaining how a marginal victory (if a liberal candidate wins) is an unprecedented landslide and clear mandate if a conservative wins?

Trump isn’t even trying to hide the fact that the DOJ is completely politicized and the rule of law no longer applies federally
