Abraham Lincoln got shot in the head and still managed to keep the country together. Franklin Roosevelt ran the entire Second World War from a wheelchair. Eisenhower defeated Hitler and then, just to stay busy, built 48,000 miles of motorway. Kennedy looked at the moon, said “we’ll have that,” and inside a decade they did. Reagan stared down the Soviet Union until it simply gave up and went home.
Two hundred and fifty years. Forty-six men. Men who stormed beaches, split atoms, faced down nuclear annihilation over breakfast and then filed sensible paperwork about it afterward.
And then, after all of that, the entire accumulated weight of American history, the most consequential democratic experiment the world has ever seen, produced this.
A television review.
No Mars landing. No cure for cancer. No Soviet empire dissolved before lunch. Just a man in the White House, in the year 2026, informing the internet that a CBS chat show host had no talent.
That is what 250 years of American greatness built. America should be deeply, permanently ashamed of itself.

Only one chance in this lifetime…
Like watching sunset at the beach from the most foreign seat in the cosmos, I couldn’t resist a cell phone video of Earthset. You can hear the shutter on the Nikon as @Astro_Christina is hammering away on 3-shot brackets and capturing those exceptional Earthset photos through the 400mm lens. @AstroVicGlover was in window 3 watching with @Astro_Jeremy next to him.
I could barely see the Moon through the docking hatch window but the iPhone was the perfect size to catch the view…this is uncropped, uncut with 8x zoom which is quite comparable to the view of the human eye. Enjoy.
God’s heart is torn apart by wars, violence, injustice and lies. But our Father’s heart is not with the wicked, the arrogant, or the proud. God’s heart is with the little ones and the humble, and with them He builds up His Kingdom of love and peace day by day. Wherever there is love and service, God is there. #ApostolicJourney #Algeria
The document Goldman is holding was supposed to stay hidden.
It's an FBI interview summary. The DOJ redacted it. Goldman got the unredacted version.
He read it into the congressional record.
Gorgeous day in Los Angeles with snowcapped mountains in the background. The mountains got 3 feet of snow from this week’s storm.
Real snow play at Mt Baldy is just 40 miles from Disneyland and 45 miles from Downtown LA. Took this photo from Kenneth Hahn State Park 🏔️❄️
President Trump posts an AI video of him dropping feces on American citizens.
The White House Press Secretary replies to a reporter “your mom.”
The Vice President laughs at jokes made by 20 and 30 year olds about rape, gas chambers, and Hitler.
How can anyone stand by this?
I’ve said it but I’m going to continue saying it, for documentation sake.
Posts from the President and White House like this are a shame for the office of the presidency — no matter who holds it.
Depicting a sitting president dropping waste on citizens crosses every line of decency, dignity, and respect for the institution.
Critique is part of free speech.
But turning the office itself into a mockery cheapens the country and devalues our collective integrity.
If ever you find yourself zip tying a child’s hands I wanna be really clear with you on what this says about you. You’re not one of the “good guys.” You’re the problem. Your soul is rotten. Your intentions are evil. And whoever is above you telling you to do this is hella Nazi.
This message is for all the MAGA fascists. Instead of being ignoramuses in denial, learn why the overwhelming majority of the democratic free world recognizes y'all as being fascist. You're welcome. ☺️👇
