@Microinteracti1 @MalcolmNance And 106 years after Mencken wrote these words…

@RobertH_III That’s the whole point. Still managed better than the orange 🍊

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.

Massive bombshell. Mayor Zohran Mamdani completely defies the elite establishment. He confirms NYC is officially raising taxes on millionaires and massive corporations to directly fund universal childcare.

The hyper-wealthy are finally being forced to pay their fair share!

This is exactly what happened

Dolly Parton is a rich woman, but instead of obsessing about building a golden ballroom, she has made more than 300 million books accessible to children.

Be more like Dolly.

Jeff fucking Bezos going on a media tour to tell everyone they shouldn't tax him and other billionaires because it won't help, is EXACTLY why we need to tax them into oblivion.

Fuck ya'll.

INSTEAD OF WATCHING AN HOUR OF NETFIX.

This 32-min Stanford lecture will teach you more about living boldly than 10 years of self-help books.

New video shows a message in chalk outside of Stephen Colbert's final show as CBS washes it away:

"Thank you Stephen, and fuck you CBS and Donald Trump."

Absolute bombshell. Hunter Biden completely exposes massive Trump family corruption. He reveals Don Jr received a staggering 600 million dollar DOD loan and Jared Kushner secured a 4 billion dollar Middle East fund.

The Trump administration is entirely bought by oligarchs.

this was so sweet. Stephen Colbert just ended his final episode of The Late Show while singing "Hello, Goodbye" with Paul McCartney. his family and the show's crew then joined them on stage before Paul turned off the lights to the Ed Sullivan Theater
