Donald Trump lost the 2020 election by over seven million votes because he was a shitty president who crashed the economy and got people killed.

That’s a fact.

[Ryan Grim @ryangrim]

An unarmed Iranian ship was invited, along with the U.S., to be part of an Indian Naval exercise, and its sailors paraded on land before the president.

The U.S. at the last minute pulled out of the exercise and instead attacked the Iranian ship with a torpedo.

Breaking with all norms of civilization and warfare, we then refused to rescue the drowning survivors. The Sri Lanka Navy was left to pull the dead bodies from the water.

I am hard pressed to think of any other nation throughout history that would do something so cowardly and despicable. We are genuinely in a league of our own, and American media — mostly shrugging off the bombing of a girls school and acting as if carpet bombing Tehran is a normal military tactic — is deeply complicit.

So let me get this straight.

Hillary Clinton was never tied to Jeffrey Epstein. She wasn’t on his plane. She wasn’t on his island. There’s no documented relationship between them.

Yet Republicans are lining her up for a deposition.

Meanwhile, Donald Trump’s name reportedly appears more than 38,000 times in Epstein-related records, and he’s not being called to testify at all.

That isn’t oversight.

That’s selective outrage dressed up as accountability.

And it’s a fucking joke.

EXCLUSIVE: An NPR investigation finds the public database of Epstein files is missing dozens of pages related to sexual abuse accusations against President Trump.

Other documents that mention Trump have been taken down (and some restored).

72 minuti. 72 minuti di delirio in diretta mondiale.

72 minuti in cui il Presidente degli Stati Uniti ha confuso la Groenlandia con l’Islanda. Più volte. Mentre spiegava perché vuole comprarla.

72 minuti in cui ha minacciato un alleato NATO, la Danimarca, con queste parole: “Potete dire di sì, e lo apprezzeremo. Potete dire di no, e ce lo ricorderemo”.

72 minuti in cui ha definito la Groenlandia “un pezzo di ghiaccio” da cui dipenderebbero i destini della Terra: “Quello che chiedo è un pezzo di ghiaccio in cambio della pace mondiale”.

72 minuti in cui ha dichiarato di avere “100% sangue scozzese e 100% sangue tedesco”. Che farebbe 200%. Ma la matematica, evidentemente, non è il suo forte.

72 minuti in cui ha affermato che gli Stati Uniti, dopo la Seconda Guerra Mondiale, avrebbero “restituito la Groenlandia alla Danimarca”. Peccato che sia falso. Gli Stati Uniti non hanno mai posseduto la Groenlandia. Mai. Nel 1916 riconobbero ufficialmente la sovranità danese. Durante la guerra ottennero solo basi militari temporanee. E nel 1946 provarono a comprarla offrendo 100 milioni di dollari. La Danimarca disse no. Non c’è stata nessuna “restituzione”.

72 minuti in cui ha sostenuto che “la Cina non ha pale eoliche”. La Cina. Il Paese che da 15 anni consecutivi è il primo produttore mondiale di energia eolica. Quello che costruisce il 45% di tutti i progetti eolici del pianeta.

Ma per Trump, “non hanno campi di mulini a vento”. Li vendono “agli stupidi”.

72 minuti in cui ha detto che “tutte le grandi compagnie petrolifere stanno venendo con noi in Venezuela”. Peccato che il CEO di ExxonMobil, tre giorni prima, gli avesse detto in faccia che il Venezuela è “non investibile”. Peccato che Trump si sia infuriato e abbia minacciato di escludere Exxon. Peccato che le altre compagnie stiano alla finestra, terrorizzate.

Ma lui, a Davos, ha detto che “stanno venendo tutte”.

72 minuti in cui ha affermato che “praticamente non c’è inflazione” negli Stati Uniti. L’inflazione americana è al 2,7%. Superiore all’obiettivo della Fed. In aumento, secondo le previsioni, a causa dei suoi stessi dazi.

Ma per lui, “praticamente non c’è”.

72 minuti in cui ha attaccato il presidente della Federal Reserve chiamandolo “stupido” e “Jerome troppo-tardi Powell”. In diretta. Davanti ai leader economici mondiali.

72 minuti in cui ha raccontato di aver messo dazi alla Svizzera per ripicca, perché “una donna” di cui non ricorda il nome “lo aveva accarezzato per il verso sbagliato”.

72 minuti in cui ha detto che “ieri il mercato è crollato a causa dell’Islanda”. L’Islanda. Un Paese con 380.000 abitanti. Che avrebbe fatto crollare Wall Street.

72 minuti in cui ha sostenuto che gli Stati Uniti “hanno pagato il 100% della NATO”. Il 100%. Quando la quota americana del budget NATO è circa il 16%.

Ma per lui, il 100%.

72 minuti in cui ha confuso l’Azerbaigian in “Aber-bajian”.

72 minuti di flusso di coscienza. Di bugie verificabili. Di numeri inventati. Di minacce ad alleati. Di insulti a funzionari. Di gaffe geografiche. Di millanterie smentite dai fatti.

E il mondo, in silenzio, ha guardato.

Ha guardato il Presidente della più grande potenza mondiale confondere due nazioni, minacciare la Danimarca, insultare la Fed, mentire sul Venezuela, inventarsi dati sull’inflazione, negare l’esistenza dell’industria eolica cinese.

72 minuti.

E pensare che una volta, per molto meno, le carriere politiche finivano.

Oggi, invece, si va avanti verso il prossimo delirio.

Benvenuti nel 2026.

The craziest part about Donald Trump pissing and moaning to Norway about not getting the Nobel Peace Prize is that he fucked kids with Jeffrey Epstein.

[Micah Erfan @micah_erfan]

Charlie Kirk was killed by a rando and no high profile democrat supported it.

Renee Good was killed by the government and every high profile republican supported it.

In just three days, Trump's latest tax cuts for the super-rich and corporations will go into effect.

Here's how his first round of tax cuts turned out.

President Trump’s speech to the UN was one of those “where do you even start” addresses from a fact-check perspective. Here’s a non-comprehensive look at some of his claims:

Inflation hasn't been "defeated" by Trump; it's been rising since the spring and is now, at 2.9%, just shy of the 3.0% from when he returned to office in January, when he says he inherited an “economic calamity.”

US electricity bills aren’t “coming way down”; they’re spiking, rising at double the rate of overall inflation. Grocery prices aren't "down” either; they're up during this presidency and they jumped last month at the fastest pace since 2022.

Trump didn't end a “raging” war between Egypt and Ethiopia because the two countries were not in a war at all; they’re in an argument over a dam that is ongoing. He’s previously claimed he stopped Serbia and Kosovo from starting a new war, not that he resolved an existing war, which makes more sense because they weren’t at war under Trump, either. And the war in the Democratic Republic of Congo hasn’t ended despite the Trump administration-brokered June peace deal, which, critically, didn’t involve the rebel coalition doing the fighting.

Trump’s current poll numbers aren’t close to his highest ever. Trump’s “$17 trillion” investment figure is $8 trillion higher than the figure his own press secretary used *yesterday.* President Biden didn’t let in 25 million migrants. Biden didn’t lose 300,000 kids.

Global warming isn’t a “hoax.” Scientists haven’t ceased using the phrase “global warming.” Coal isn’t “clean.” The US didn’t have to pay “$1 trillion” under the Paris climate accord. That the wind sometimes doesn’t blow doesn’t make wind power useless; batteries exist, and wind is used as part of a mix of power sources. China doesn’t “barely” use wind energy; in fact it’s by far the world’s leading user of wind power, and it’s rapidly building more domestic capacity.

To be clear: It's not "ABC pulls Jimmy Kimmel after comments about Charlie Kirk," it's "ABC pulls Jimmy Kimmel after threats from Trump FCC chair"

The distinction matters here.

[Andrea Junker @Strandjunker]

The fact that Matthew Dowd lost his job for pointing out Charlie Kirk’s hate speech, while Brian Kilmeade openly suggests we should euthanize the homeless and there is zero outrage, shows exactly what is terribly wrong with today’s political mainstream media.

Since these people are busy rewriting their history and deleting their posts, here's how the "lower the temperature" right acted when they thought Charlie Kirk's shooter was a transgender liberal.

[Shannon Watts @shannonrwatts]

When Minnesota House Speaker Melissa Hortman and her husband were assassinated, Senator Mike Lee mocked their murders online, writing, “This is what happens when Marxists don’t get their way.”

[Woke Former Senator @WokeMitt]

The entire right-wing is going to go absolutely ape shit over the assassination of Charlie Kirk. But just remember how none of them gave a shit about a Democratic lawmaker in Minnesota being assassinated just a couple months ago. Trump basically ignored it.

[Angry Staffer @Angry_Staffer]

You fucking idiots took emails of Hillary Clinton ordering pizza and turned them into a child trafficking scheme, but you’re perfectly fine with Donald Trump being best friends with the most notorious sex trafficker of our time.
