Sometimes a photo taken just at the right millisecond can capture the true essence of the moment. We often think of Joe Rosenthal's capture of the rising of the American Flag on the summit of Mt. Surabachi once secured on Iwo Jima in February 1945. This photo captures the demon that is Trump, one can see the eternal black nothingness that is his soul by looking into his eyes, watched closely by his ever-stern bride with whom all of life's joy is gone having been replaced by a never-ending internal agony. Xi Jinping and Peng watching the spectacle and taking in and recording the ridiculousness and vulnerability of the current state of the United States of America.
Brett Meiselas: "The Chinese officials looking out of the plane, watching our military get on their hands and knees to wipe the dust off the red carpet, rolling it out for Xi Jinping. That image to me is a career ender. You know, if you're anybody else, if you're Barack Obama, Joe Biden, that's the defining image of your presidency."
Jim Copenhaver, who was seriously wounded during the 2024 assassination attempt on President Trump at a campaign rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, has died.

Trump rolled out the red carpet for Xi -- and what did he get in return?
Not. One. Fucking. Thing.
Putin stiffed Trump in Anchorage. Xi stiffed Trump in Washington DC.
This says it all: while communist Chinese state media was welcomed into the Oval Office, prominent US media was banned.
Not a day goes by that Trump is not a national disgrace and global laughingstock.
We live in a time when some mistake cruelty for strength. When demeaning others and bullying people is supposed to make you “tough.”
But this is what real strength looks like:
Joe Biden is 83 years old and facing Stage IV prostate cancer.
Last night, he walked back in front of a crowd in Delaware with one message:
“This is no time to give up.”
The crowd rose to its feet again and again. The Delaware News Journal described flashes of the same “scrappy, fighting spirit” that has defined him for decades.
Stage IV cancer. 83 years old.
Still standing.
Still speaking.
Still fighting.
Just like he has his entire life, you knock @JoeBiden down, and he gets right back up.
For millions of us, that resilience remains an inspiration.
Keep fighting, Joe. 🇺🇸
🚨 BREAKING:
One hour after announcing his resignation, U.S. Joint Chiefs Chairman Gen. Randy George reportedly said:
"Donald Trump should be hospitalized immediately; I doubt his mental fitness. He is leading the U.S. military toward disaster."
We must be prepared for that traitor in the White House to do ANYTHING to fuck with the midterm elections this year. Anything. And when he does, we must be prepared to do anything to defend our elections.
If you’re struggling to put food on the table or buy gas for your car, remember, these insanely affluent assholes have increased their collective wealth by $1.5 trillion dollars under Trump’s “presidency.”
Trump said Nevada has 250,000 noncitizens voting. So DHS went through the list of voters.
Guess how many they found. 250,000? No. 2000? Nope. 200? Wrong. They found ZERO noncitizens.
Epstein is not a hoax. Affordability is not a hoax.
Illegals voting is a big fat orange hoax.
She was an FBI agent. She started an investigation of the murder of Renee Good. Trump forced her to reclassify it as an ICE agent assault. She was then forced to resign.
Trump, the WH and the FBI are COVERING UP A MURDER. #AbolishICE https://t.co/NSJU2neduq
FUN FACT: Tyler Perry paid for Nolan's funeral. Colin Kaepernick paid for the independent autopsy for Nolan's family. LeBron paid for the forensics of the cellphones involved in the case. I love seeing people helping others, but the fact we have to pay for justice is sickening.
