Something to consider: Trump's claims that #Putin would not have invaded under his presidency, and that Putin will end the war with a #Trump deal, are both contradictory to Putin's stated and ostensible goals.

Trump standing next to Zelenskyy: "He wants a fair transaction to take place ... I'm sure President Putin wants it to stop."

@GrayConnolly @esaagar Maybe we should put gold stars on their sleeves to mark them as Undesirables, and eventually ship them off to a camp.

Fuck off, moron.

"It was the worst thing to happen to America since 9/11. It was cataclysmically awful."

Four years ago, this is what Ben Shapiro thought of January 6th, 2021. The literal day after:

[Chris Hayes @chrislhayes]

It’s very funny how there was literally only one candidate in the race who has nothing to do with Epstein but the Senator supports the two guys who were buddies with him.

[Jamie Dupree @jamiedupree]

The GOP House Foreign Affairs Committee account deleted their tweet. That's why I screenshot.

[Billy Binion @billybinion]

Ah, yes, the very libertarian position of…leveraging a dictatorial government to punish people for wearing the wrong clothing

@JustNoAndMoreNo @CapNnoProblema @esjesjesj Thank you this is a very good comeback and I'm going to remember it forever.

It's also a great heuristic. Sounds good until you think about it. Applies to most things!

@ArtemisConsort @wesyang You boys done with this circlejerk?

[August @AugustJBrady]

@wesyang I'm sure Jesse appreciates your support until the next time he says something slightly uncouth about Donald Trump, at which point I'm sure your declaration of Jihad against him will be widely accepted.

[August @AugustJBrady]

@CaudilloNuclear @anarchosayian Kinda proved their point. Swift and clean self-own.

@BsblWhispererer @DHinrio I've never met anyone who said "I do not want my prescription drug prices to be lower than their current price."

Have you met this unicorn of a person?

[August @AugustJBrady]

@wesyang You should Google "Narcissistic Personality Disorder" and "Dunning-Kruger Effect."

Donald Trump nonsensically babbling about Obamacare:

WELKER:
You tried to repeal and replace. You tried to kill it, sir.

TRUMP:
Because if I repealed it and replaced it, we would’ve had a better system because we wouldn’t have had healthcare. And the Democrats would’ve been forced to do something. If we wouldn’t have had it, the Democrats would’ve been forced to do something that they wouldn’t do if we have it.

This should be front page news but I suspect it won’t be

[Max Fisher @Max_Fisher]

Reminder: 139 Republican Congressmen and 8 Senators voted to certify Trump’s attempted coup

In South Korea the president’s party gave him zero votes for his coup

[Mehdi Hasan @mehdirhasan]

Yesterday Trump nominated his daughter Ivanka’s father-in-law to be ambassador to France.

Today he appoints his daughter Tiffany’s unqualified father-in-law to be his senior adviser on MidEast affairs.

This is banana republic stuff from a party that obsessed over Hunter Biden

[Mehdi Hasan @mehdirhasan]

A reminder of who Charles Kushner is (this is part of what he did that landed him in prison)

[Mehdi Hasan @mehdirhasan]

So a reminder:

It’s not ‘liberals’ saying Hegseth abuses women. It’s his mom.

It’s not ‘liberals’ comparing Trump to Hitler. It’s his vice-president.

It’s not ‘liberals’ calling Musk a liar and a racist. It’s his own child.

For the record.

[Andrew Kaczynski @KFILE]

Democrats are so devious they only selectively rigged several seats. Didn’t rig it to have themselves keep the Senate, didn’t rig it to win the presidential election and didn’t rig it to keep the House. Their depravity clearly knows no bounds.

Billionaires going on Rogan to lie about policy isn't an accident, they know it's a good way to lie to millions of people and sway opinion, with a host who will believe anything
