No, harris would have not been worse.

Yes, trump has always been this terrible.

Yes, you are a chowderhead.

No, he was never going to do what you thought. He said anything and everything to get your vote. He used you to keep his ass out of prison.

Just like he used you on jan6 after spending months lying about mail in ballots while botching the pandemic that led to 1000s of americans needlessly dying.

Yes, Trump is compromised by foreign governments because he rapes kids.

You never noticed because you hate half your country men more than you actually love your country.

Yes, you have been brainwashed and radicalized.

Yes, the last decade of your life has been a lie.

Yes, you are useful idiots.

Yes, you are responsible for bringing an end to the america century.

Yes, everyone's life in the entire world is worse off because of you.

No, we will not forgive or forget what you've done to us.

Fuck you.

One Year On: The Greatest Economic Own Goal in Living Memory

A year ago, Donald Trump stood in the Rose Garden, surrounded by charts nobody understood, and declared war on mathematics. He called it Liberation Day. The Financial Times, along with every economist who has read more than a bus ticket, is marking the anniversary with a verdict that should be carved into marble: it failed. On every single front. Spectacularly. Completely. Embarrassingly.

Let us be precise about this.
Measured against Trump’s own three stated goals, making foreigners pay for doing business with America, narrowing the trade deficit, and punishing China, the tariffs have clearly failed.  Not partially failed. Not failed with asterisks. Failed the way a man fails when he drives a Reliant Robin onto a motorway and acts surprised when it rolls.

And everyone said so. Economists said so. Trading partners said so. His own party said so. The entire field of international trade theory, developed over roughly two centuries by people who actually read things, screamed it from the rooftops. But Donald Trump, a man whose relationship with economics appears to consist entirely of gut feeling and cable television and 6 casino bankruptcies knew better.

The average American household paid an extra $1,700 due to tariffs. Over 65 percent of Americans reported that everyday goods became significantly less affordable.  This is what happens when you run the world’s largest economy on instinct and vibes.
One year after the Rose Garden ceremony, factory jobs are down and inflation is up.  The precise opposite of what was promised. With extraordinary confidence.

Then the lawyers arrived.
The Supreme Court found that Trump had exceeded his authority, ruling that the declared emergency bore no rational connection to the trade measures imposed.  In other words, the legal foundation was nonsense. The government had collected $166 billion in tariffs from over 330,000 businesses on grounds the Supreme Court found unconstitutional. The refund process is now underway.  One hundred and sixty-six billion dollars. Collected illegally. From American businesses.

The financial markets, bless them, responded with the only appropriate tool available: mockery. The meme “Trump Always Chickens Out” refuses to go away, and the TACO index is now actively used by analysts to price in the president’s chronic habit of retreating. 
Every serious voice warned this would happen. Trade economists. Former Treasury secretaries. The IMF. The WTO. The EU. Canada. Japan. Basically anyone who had spent more than forty minutes studying how global trade actually works. The man who ignored all of them had previously run a casino into bankruptcy and considered that a learning experience.

He was not, it turns out, a fast learner.
One year. Zero of three goals achieved. One Supreme Court ruling. One $170 billion refund. One economy paying more for everything and making less of it.

Liberation Day. What a name for it.

How Trumpism works...

Step 1: Say the most unhinged thing you can. Lie big, lie loud, and see what you can get away with.

Step 2: If the base cheers, repeat it until it becomes a slogan. If everyone else recoils, fall back on “snowflakes,” “just joking,” or, most likely, just tell another lie and then another lie.

Step 3: Flood the zone. Keep the lies coming so fast that truth never has time to catch up. That is how extremism becomes normal.

Step 4: Get your followers to defend the indefensible. Once they are insisting up is down and black is white, you do not have a political movement. You have obedience.

Sitting US Congressman Ted Lieu just said on the record:

The full Epstein files contain information that Donald Trump raped minors.

This is a member of Congress.

On camera. On the record.

The DOJ admitted withholding footage of “death, physical abuse, and injury.”

Half of 6 million documents remain sealed.

Epstein’s accountant testified the estate settled with Jane Doe 4 for both Epstein and Trump.

Jane Doe 4 alleged to the FBI that Trump abused her when she was 15.

Trump started a war the same week the names were supposed to drop.

Pam Bondi testifies under oath April 14th.

A congressman just told you why the files are sealed.

Never stop connecting the dots.

I’m afraid most of us are not understanding what is happening right now. The Trump administration is allowing a foreign nation to wipe out US military existence in the Middle East. We are witnessing nothing more than the fruits and labor of espionage. And the man who committed the espionage did so to protect himself and other fellow pedophiles. Donald Trump as he was committing espionage got himself convicted of 34 felonies. Those felonies stemmed from his own decisions to engage in fraud. This scared the shit out of him. He quickly and prematurely, declared himself a candidate for President of the United States to insulate himself from paying the consequences of his actions. So he sold himself to anyone with money. The return for this investment is they could do whatever damage they want to do to our country with impunity. Our president and I use that term loosely, is a sociopathic homosexual and heterosexual pedophile. That is his legacy. To counter that he is renaming everything after himself. He is putting himself on our currency. He has destroyed the people’s house. He has stolen billions in taxpayer dollars. and he has broken the back of the middle class, essentially wiping us out. it is around now that I would usually say wake up, but we are long past that now. It doesn’t matter who’s awake and who is blindly following anymore. Their power is consolidated while our power isn’t even realized yet. As I always say to my followers, all of this ends when we end it. That statement is still true. Now ask yourself what are you willing to do, how far are you willing to go, to preserve our rights and our democracy?

[Yasmina @yasminalombaert]

Listen, if you’re tired of the diplomatic fluff and want someone to actually call out the chaos, you need to hear this. Claude Malhuret just went absolutely scorched-earth in the French Senate, and frankly, it’s a masterclass in truth-telling.

He doesn't hold back on the "madmen" wrecking the global order—slamming putin for his relentless, bloody ego-trip in Ukraine and dragging Trump’s new "circus" of a cabinet for treating foreign policy like a private piggy bank.
Malhuret is basically the only adult left in the room, cutting through the MAGA noise and the Kremlin’s lies with the kind of sharp, witty clarity we desperately need right now. It’s brutal, it’s honest, and it’s a total must-watch.

Speech by Claude Malhuret regarding the situation in the Near and Middle East:

"Mr. President, Mr. Prime Minister, ladies and gentlemen of the Cabinet, in February 2022, a dangerous madman drunk on grandeur lit a fuse in Ukraine that blew up a powder keg and disrupted the world order. The war was supposed to last a week. It is now entering its fifth year. In February 2026, another dangerous madman lit another fuse in the Near East that once again threatens international balance. Was that war also supposed to last a week? One month later, the whole world is asking: 'What is going to happen?' The simple, short, and precise answer is this: God only knows.

A year ago in this very place, I compared the Trump presidency to the court of Nero. I was wrong; it is a 'Court of Miracles.' An anti-vax former heroin addict as Secretary of Health; a climate skeptic as Secretary of Econology; an alcoholic TV host as Secretary of Defense; a former agent of Qatar as Attorney General; a putin groupie as National Security Advisor. A Turkish proverb says: 'When a clown moves into a palace, he doesn't become a king; the palace becomes a circus.'

This 'fine team' decided to create a competitor to the UN. Since his Peace Council has existed, Trump has launched more military strikes than Biden did during his entire term. Every time an internal scandal resurfaces, bombs explode somewhere in the world as a diversion. Bomb more to gain more. There isn't a country where Trump hasn't taken advantage of the situation to enrich himself, never forgetting his family: a private Boeing gifted by Qatar, investments in all Gulf projects or elsewhere, manipulation of stock market prices benefiting a few insiders. A single one of these conflicts of interest would have triggered an immediate impeachment procedure here, but we are not here—we are in MAGA America: the conduct of public affairs at the service of private interests.

After the customs duties, Greenland, the abandonment of Ukraine, the humiliation of allies, the ineffective back-and-forth in Venezuela and so many others, a new senseless adventure begins.

Let me be clearly understood: I am the last to complain about the decapitation of the Mullahs' regime and the first to demand freedom for the Iranian people. But what is the strategy to achieve it? And have the collateral damages, including for the Iranians, been measured? The answer is: there is no strategy, and collateral damages are written off as losses. Just as in January, when Trump called on Iranians to take to the streets, only to leave them to be massacred by the Basij.

After the pretext of an 'imminent' Iranian atomic bomb—contradicted by the Director of American Intelligence herself—and then the argument for regime change, it is Marco Rubio who finally let the cat out of the bag: we went in because we followed Netanyahu. In other words, we have no objective of our own. Trump ignored the warnings of the few who had the courage to tell him what would obviously happen: the blocking of the Strait of Hormuz, the extension of the war to the entire Near East, and finally the global repercussions.

If there is precisely one thing you watch today, make it this. French Senator Claude Malhuret. A microphone. And the most magnificently savage dismantling of the Trump administration ever delivered in a language they almost certainly don’t speak.

He covers Iran. He covers corruption. He covers the kind of staggering, industrial-scale incompetence that would get you fired from managing a car park. And he does it with the calm, unhurried certainty of a man who has read every page of the indictment and found it, if anything, worse than expected.

France has never pretended to like these people. But this is contempt elevated to an art form. The kind of refined, aristocratic disdain that takes centuries of civilization to produce and approximately ninety seconds to deploy.

Malhuret sounds like he is four seconds from the button. Not out of panic. Out of sheer, exhausted disgust.
Honestly? Understandable.
Watch it. Share it. The adults are speaking.

BREAKING: IS HE SMOKING CRACK? Trump declares that Iran offered to make *HIM* Supreme Leader in jaw-dropping show of complete demented delusion!

Yes, you read that right.

During last night’s GOP congressional fundraiser, Trump declared that the Islamic Republic of Iran had offered to make him their Supreme Leader.

“Nobody’s ever seen anything like we're doing in the Middle East with Iran.” slurred the President.

“And they are negotiating, by the way, and they want to make a deal so badly, but they're afraid to say it because they figure they'll be killed by their own people. They're also afraid they'll be killed by us.”

“There's never been a head of a country that wanted that job less than being the head of Iran. I listen to some of the things they say. hear them very clearly. They say, I don't want it. We'd like to make you the next Supreme Leader. No, thank you. I don't want it.”

This man is off his rocker. This is an INSANE thing to say that is obviously, laughably untrue, and yet every Republican in the room just sits there and uncomfortably laughs like the spineless cowards they are.

We are reaching unheard of lows of desperate copium-huffing delusion by the world’s most pathetically insecure man, and it is the clearest evidence yet that this man cannot be allowed to make the decision to sacrifice our brave military servicemembers in a desperate, foolhardy invasion of Iran whose real objective is protecting Trump’s ego from having to face the humiliation of being an absolute imbecile who made a colossaly stupid decision.

25th Amendment now.

[HealthRanger @HealthRanger]

Only 2 days remaining before Trump declares Iran "broke off" negotiations (that only exist in Trump's head) and says we now have to invade Iran with thousands of U.S. soldiers.

Only after markets close, of course, and all of Trump's close associates have an opportunity to place long bets on rising oil prices.

Trump is the biggest market manipulator / insider trading crook to have ever occupied the White House.

[Prez @PrezLives2022]

Trump is at 4 trillion US debt in a little over a year. He is on track to hit 50 trillion before he leaves office which I stated he would do last suumer. He had 7.8 trillion his first term. That means he would have just about 23 trillion of the 50 trillion in debt, which is 46 percent of our nations debt in 8 years in office. When you see how rapidly the net worth of billionaires has escalated during his time in office, including his and his families, you can only conclude that we have been robbed. Our kids future destroyed and not a single piece of new infrastructure. America is being bankrupted on purpose.

[NoelCaslerComedy @caslernoel]

“As I’ve said many times before - when all is said and done, Donald Trump will surpass any historical tyrant and rightfully take his place as the worst human ever to emerge from the privilege and relative peace of post-World War II America.

Trump’s withdrawal of the U.S. on climate change initiatives and treaties, coupled with his opposition to environmental conservation and cancelling of renewable energy projects alone will cause untold catastrophes, and compound both economic hardship and human suffering across the globe.

Future generations will inherit a far more dangerous and toxic world than the one we were born into - and many of us had hoped to nurture and improve.

POTUS is an enemy of progress itself: he has stolen over a decade of momentum and innovation while dulling the spirit of scientific and academic excellence - at a time it was most needed for the betterment of mankind.

The irony of it is Donald Trump may destroy what we have come to know as the United States, and much of the world beyond it in the process, and his particular brand of evil couldn’t have been created anywhere else but in America.

His french-fried fascism sprung from the greed and ignorance that men like him have not only gotten away with, they have protected and promulgated for centuries.

The kicker is that his vulgar mediocrity has become a cornerstone of his appeal to the ‘America First’ base and the craven corporations that bent the knee and allowed this awful and obscene autocrat to flourish.” https://t.co/3KMm59sFdX

[James Tate @JamesTate121]

I used to wonder how it was possible that Trump could have won in 2016, and then again in 2024, given how emotionally toxic and depraved he is.
I don’t wonder anymore. I think he won for that exact reason. Because he carried at least one broken shard to reflect the broken shards in millions of others.
If you’re a racist, you found your guy. If you’re a misogynist, you found your guy. If money is your only religion, you found your guy. If your heart is armored shut, you found your guy. If you mock the disabled, you found your guy. If intelligence makes you insecure, you found your guy. If you’re a sexual predator, you found your guy. If you trade in humiliation and conspiracy and filth, you found your guy.
If you’ve never done a single hour of emotional inventory, you found your guy. If you cheat, stiff contractors, bankrupt your obligations, and call it savvy, you found your guy. If you lie as easily as you breathe, you found your guy. If cruelty feels like strength, you found your guy. If white grievance is your comfort food, you found your guy. If your ego is a black hole no title can fill, you found your guy. If warmongering fuels your ego, you found your guy, If empathy feels like weakness and dominance feels like oxygen, you found your guy.
If he’d only carried one or two of these pathologies, he might have been dismissed as just another loud, damaged man. But he carried a buffet of them. That was the appeal. Millions could locate themselves somewhere in the wreckage. They didn’t have to agree with all of it. They just had to recognize a piece of themselves in it.
It was never really about him. It was about the validation. The absolution. The permission. He didn’t invent the resentment; he amplified it. He didn’t create the cruelty; he normalized it. He gave millions the intoxicating relief of hearing their ugliest impulses echoed back at rally volume.
Trump is a symptom. The deeper illness is collective. If there’s one sentence that defines his power, it’s this: “He says the things I’m thinking.”
And that’s the part that should chill us.
Because what does it say about us that so many were thinking those things? That tens of millions of Americans harbored resentments so deep, so seething, that they were simply waiting for a demagogue to baptize them as virtue? That after decades of supposed progress on race, gender, and equality, so many white men felt so threatened, so displaced, so furious, that cruelty became a political platform?
Maybe we were living in a fool’s paradise, mistaking silence for healing, politeness for progress.
Now the mask is off. Now we know.
And knowing is a far more dangerous place to stand.

Article II, Section 4
"The President, .... shall be removed from Office on Impeachment for, and Conviction of, Treason, Bribery, or other high Crimes and Misdemeanors."

For what other purpose does this impeachment clause serve if not to remove a lawless, corrupt, tyrannical figure whose actions mirror the very monarchical abuses the Founding Fathers sought to prevent?

If @realDonaldTrump ISN'T impeached and removed from office, then our whole Constitution is a sham, a failed experiment, and a hollow promise that proves that the law applies only to those without the power to break it.

If this man ISN'T impeached and removed from office, our Constitution becomes a historical footnote marking the moment when the rule of law was traded for the rule of man.

Our Constitution is meant to be the ultimate safeguard to hold our elected leaders accountable to the people and to the very rule of law outlined in this fundamental, foundational document. For what other purpose does it serve if not to remove a lawless, corrupt, tyrannical "president"?

The United States cannot, and should not, have a criminal running our government for HIS OWN benefit, profit, and enrichment, while simultaneously screwing over the very people he was "elected" to serve.

AND THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT WE HAVE.

The impeachment clause of the Constitution is there for THIS VERY REASON. It is ours, and Congress's legal and moral obligation to hold @realDonaldTrump accountable for the multitude of crimes he has committed — not only against the office of the presidency, but against the American people.

IMPEACH AND REMOVE DONALD TRUMP!!
