Imagine if a woman president crashed the economy and started a war with no end in sight, and her biggest, seemingly ONLY concern was building a ballroom and redecorating the White House.
Hormuz *could be* still closed come Labor Day.
Yes, the Labor Day that's in September.
Over 3 months from now.
$6/$7 gas this summer, and Iran sitting in an unprecedented position of power... and Trump put them in there.
Had enough yet?
“AND YOU STILL DARE TO OPEN YOUR MOUTH…”
Sasha Legerman: This is too accurate not to share.
This Australian’s response to Trump’s rant that “NATO does nothing for America” is absolutely devastating:
“Mate. You run a country where 600,000 homeless people will sleep on the streets tonight.
A country where 40% of adults can’t cover a $400 emergency without borrowing money.
A country where insulin costs more than a car payment, and people ration it just to stay alive.
A country where medical debt is the number one cause of bankruptcy.
A country where women die in hospital parking lots because doctors are too afraid of abortion laws to treat miscarriages.
You imprison more of your own citizens than any country on Earth.
More than China. More than Russia. More than North Korea.
In the land of the free, 2 million people sit in cages, and a quarter of them haven’t even been convicted of anything.
They’re simply too poor to afford bail.
Your life expectancy is declining. You’re the only developed nation where that’s happening.
Your infant mortality rate is worse than Cuba’s.
Your children practice active shooter drills between math and English classes while you sell defense stocks to your friends.
Your minimum wage hasn’t changed in 15 years.
Your teachers work two jobs, your veterans sleep under bridges, and you just spent a trillion dollars flattening a country that never attacked you.
And now a convicted criminal — found liable for sexual abuse, defending a pedophile, sleeping with a porn star, and running the biggest dumpster-fire campaign since the Taliban — is thanking you for yet another disaster.
And you call Greenland badly governed?
Greenland has universal healthcare. Free education. One of the lowest incarceration rates in the world.
Nobody there goes bankrupt because they got sick. Nobody dies in a waiting room because insurance refused treatment.
‘NATO wasn’t there when we needed them.’
When exactly was that, champ?
September 11?
Because NATO invoked Article 5 for the first and only time in history FOR YOU.
Soldiers from dozens of countries deployed, fought, bled, and died in Afghanistan FOR YOU.
Australia wasn’t even in NATO, and we still showed up. For twenty years.
And then you left at 2 a.m. without telling anyone and left everybody else to clean up the mess.
You don’t care that a great nation is being terrorized by your friend, and you haven’t shown it a single ounce of sympathy.
So maybe before calling other countries badly governed, take a look at your own backyard, you aluminum siding salesman with a spray tan.
The only thing badly managed in this picture is your damn mouth.
And you still dare to lecture the rest of the world?”
This is easily the saddest time in American history. The absolute worst people are systematically destroying the country, and our system is completely failing to stop them.
let me make sure i’m understanding this correctly
the supreme court is refunding all tariff money back to corporations.
the same corporations that didn’t pay a single cent of those tariffs to begin with.
they passed every dollar directly to you through higher prices on everything you buy
you went to the store and paid more for groceries. you paid more for clothes. for car parts. for literally everything.
that money came out of YOUR pocket not theirs
and now the refund goes to THEM?
the corporations who used the tariffs as an excuse to raise prices even higher than the tariff itself and pocket the difference
the american people funded the tariffs.
the corporations profited off the tariffs.
and now the corporations get a refund on money they never spent in the first place
and nobody in washington thinks the people who actually paid should get the money back.
not a single person has even suggested it
guess we are never getting our DOGE checks either
this country does not work for you.
it works for them. it’s a joke
and they’re not even pretending anymore

But Republicans want you to think someone working 40 hours a week for poverty wages, relying on SNAP and Medicaid to survive, is the problem.

Well, as they say, to each their own.
Doctors take pride in saving lives in extraordinary cases, scientists in their discoveries, generals in victories on the battlefield -- and JD Vance’s ceiling is taking frenzied pride in the fact that, during the largest aggressive war in Europe since WWII, this administration betrayed a nation fighting for its freedom, staged a disgraceful clown show in the Oval Office, switched sides to a totalitarian aggressor for the promise of shared profits, and undermined its own alliances across the world for nothing.
You might as well frame that great achievement and hang it in your office -- because everything else you touch doesn’t seem to be going quite as well, like with Iran and Hungary 😆
Not only did Disney pay nothing in income taxes this year, it received a $1.428 billion tax refund after making $12 billion in profits.
"Corporations will create jobs if you give them more tax breaks" is a total scam.
To every American who either didn’t bother to vote in 2024 or voted for Trump bcuz “price of eggs” or “Dems too woke,” or “Biden too old.” We told you he was uniquely dangerous. We told you he was going to do this. We told you he’d try to turn America into a fascist dystopia. You laughed & said it could never happen here. Well…it’s happening here.👇
Gen Z is right obviously. Taking work seriously has very few upsides anymore. You're not going to be able to afford a house, get married, or have children, which means the incentives that formed the basis of western civilization are all gone now.
Ex-Minnesota Governor Jesse Ventura: “We’re a 3rd world country now. I know. I’ve been to ‘em. I spent 17 months in SE Asia while the draft dodger was playing golf… that’s what happens in a dictatorship. In comes the military. That’s what’s happening here.” 🇺🇸
Q: Do you have a message for Trump?
Former Minnesota governor Jesse Ventura: Who is that? The draft-dodging coward? I don’t call him by name. He’s the draft-dodging coward who, when it was his time to serve his country, did what all rich white boys did. Most of my friends and I are Vietnam veterans. We had to go. He’s gonna tell me what courage is?
Mike Pence: “President Trump asked me to put him over the Constitution…I really do believe that anyone who puts themself over the Constitution should never be president of the US.”
(August 2023)
The American people electing Trump after he staged a coup attempt 5 years ago today was a nail in the coffin of our democracy. You can rationalize it all you want -- But inflation! But wokeness! -- but ultimately it was a societal suicide attempt and probably the dumbest collective voting decision ever made.
