It's Pride Month, and the haters are out in force.
New on my Whirled.

So let me get this straight.

Jake Tapper is focused on attacking my Mom.

Jared and Ivanka are building a private island paradise on Albanian protected land.

Don Jr married the daughter of Epstein’s banker, and a startup his fund backs just got a record $620M Pentagon loan.

Eric is taking an Israeli drone company public for $1.5B in the middle of a war with Iran that nobody wanted.

And I know: “But what about your paintings, Hunter?”

Please.

When it comes to the midterms, vote like you don't want to be imprisoned in a former Amazon Warehouse for criticizing Donald Trump.

[Connie L. Schmidt @CosmicConnie]

Exactly.

Obama didn’t cause any division in this country. It was caused by all the bigots who couldn‘t handle a Black President. If you think it was Obama who caused the division, it’s because you’re one of those bigots.

So this latest White House shooter was a mentally ill man who had many encounters with police and thought he was Jesus Christ.
Only in America can a man like that obtain a gun. Thanks, Republicans

If your pastor is praying to a gold statue of a fat orange asshole, it’s time to find a new church.

@LakotaMan1 I do see you now, but I don’t see you nearly enough.

When a president of the United States calls a black woman journalist a bitch, silence is not an option.

Shame on her cowardly coworkers.

Women: I want to go for a run.
Society: You can’t go alone. You’ll get raped.

Women: I want to walk to my car in the parking garage.
Society: Alone? You better get someone to escort you, or you’ll get raped.

Women: I want to live alone.
Society: You need a gun, an alarm system, a dog and probably a gun for the dog too.

Women: What about going to the park?
Society: Dangerous.

Women: Okay, I’ll just go out for a drink then.
Society: Don’t take your eyes off your drink. Watch out for predators spiking your drinks. Stay alert at all times.

Women: I was raped.
Society: Are you sure? That just seems impossible.

@AZ_Brittney @RonFilipkowski Agreed! That one of Jeff Tiedrich’s favorite lines.

The Villages, FL protesting Trump’s visit this afternoon!

I only was able to get our side of the roundabout. National and local press is here too!

The White House has released its top ten priorities for the remainder of the year:

1. Trump.
2. Trump.
3. Trump.
4. Ballroom.
5. Trump.
6. UFC fight.
7. Trump.
8. Trump.
9. Trump.
10. America. Just kidding, it's Trump.

[Dreamweasel @Dreamweasel]

The problem here is that there is empirical data to support both:

“The President is so loathsome that he would stage multiple assassination attempts to boost his popularity”

AND

“The President is so loathsome that multiple people would genuinely attempt to murder him”

[Jay Inslee @JayInslee]

We cannot forget that while Trump praises law enforcement for protecting him, he totally disrespected law enforcement officers who protected democracy against his coup attempt on Jan. 6. Never forget.

Being mad that the Pope won't endorse your war is like being mad that your doctor won't endorse your cocaine habit.

Breaking: Vietnam War veterans are suing President Trump

Trump wants to build a 250-foot arch in the sightline of Arlington National Cemetery using taxpayer money

The view between the Lincoln Memorial and Arlington has been untouched since the Civil War to symbolize national unity

Congress has not authorized the project and no environmental review is being completed

Trump told the public the arch was "fully funded" by donors

But a filing from April 7 shows $15,000,000 in taxpayer funds from the National Endowment for the Humanities is being used instead

[Jo @JoJoFromJerz]

The fact that Donald Trump didn’t follow through on his threats of committing genocide doesn’t mean we should move on from the fact that he threatened to commit genocide.

[Don Winslow @donwinslow]

Donald Trump created an international disaster over absolutely NOTHING and then entered into a negotiation in which he gave up EVERYTHING.

This guy is a massive loser elected by 77 million lost and misguided Americans.

America is weak under Trump.
