how do we get rid of all the stupid people on here?

Trump's EPA has approved the use of a pesticide and known carcinogen, trifludimoxazin.

The forever chemical will now be used on corn, wheat, oats, soybeans, oranges, apples, peanuts, and almonds.

See you have to be intelligent if you’re the one holding the mic and that’s where I think this whole thing went sideways.

The nonchalant way that she just goes about eating the burrito and owning her is hilarious

Jeffrey Epstein took a girl somewhere between 13-15 years old from his island to New York City and introduced her to his best friend, Donald Trump.

There were so many girls, the FBI numbered them.

And “#6 is Trump’s favorite.”

Hunter Biden sold one painting for $85K, and 27 paintings for a total of $1.5M, and trumpers lost their goddamn minds over it.

Barron trump, meanwhile, made $150,000,000 on a stake of his dad's unethical crypto coin, and not a peep from these same hypocrites.

Barron should be on the front line of his dad's illegal war of choice, from which he is ALSO grifting money.

SOMEONE IS CLEARLY BREAKING THE LAW IF A PRESIDENTS 20 YEAR OLD SON WHO IS A UNEMPLOYED COLLEGE STUDENT MAKES 150 MILLION IN LESS THAN A YEAR 🙄

[Willie Ross Jr. Knee Deep @RossKneeDeep]

I think it was just hate.

By Sincerely, American:

"Trump supporters say, 'We suffered 8 years under Barack Obama.'

Fair enough. Let’s take a look.

The day Obama took office, the Dow closed at 7,949 points. Eight years later, the Dow had almost tripled.

General Motors and Chrysler were on the brink of bankruptcy, with Ford not far behind, and their failure, along with their supply chains, would have meant the loss of millions of jobs. Obama pushed through a controversial, $80 billion bailout to save the car industry. The U.S. car industry survived, started making money again, and the entire $80 billion was paid back, with interest.

While we remain vulnerable to lone-wolf attacks, no foreign terrorist organization has successfully executed a mass attack here since 9/11.

Obama ordered the raid that killed Osama Bin Laden.

He drew down the number of troops from 180,000 in Iraq and Afghanistan to just 15,000, and increased funding for the Department of Veterans Affairs.

He launched a program called Opening Doors which, since 2010, has led to a 47 percent decline in the number of homeless veterans. He set a record 73 straight months of private-sector job growth.

Due to Obama’s regulatory policies, greenhouse gas emissions decreased by 12%, production of renewable energy more than doubled, and our dependence on foreign oil was cut in half.

He signed The Lilly Ledbetter Act, making it easier for women to sue employers for unequal pay.

His Omnibus Public Lands Management Act designated more than 2 million acres as wilderness, creating thousands of miles of trails and protecting over 1,000 miles of rivers.

He reduced the federal deficit from 9.8 percent of GDP in 2009 to 3.2 percent in 2016.

For all the inadequacies of the Affordable Care Act, we seem to have forgotten that, before the ACA, you could be denied coverage for a pre-existing condition and kids could not stay on their parents’ policies up to age 26.

Obama approved a $14.5 billion system to rebuild the levees in New Orleans.

All this, even as our own Mitch McConnell famously asserted that his singular mission would be to block anything President Obama tried to do.

While Obama failed on his campaign pledge to close the prison at Guantanamo Bay, that prison’s population decreased from 242 to around 50.

He expanded funding for embryonic stem cell research, supporting ground breaking advancement in areas like spinal injury treatment and cancer.

Credit card companies can no longer charge hidden fees or raise interest rates without advance notice.
Most years, Obama threw a 4th of July party for military families. He held babies, played games with children, served barbecue, and led the singing of “Happy Birthday” to his daughter Malia, who was born on July 4.

Welfare spending is down: for every 100 poor families, just 24 receive cash assistance, compared with 64 in 1996.

Obama comforted families and communities following more than a dozen mass shootings. After Sandy Hook, he said, “The majority of those who died today were children, beautiful little kids between the ages of 5 and 10 years old.”

Yet, he never took away anyone’s guns........

He sang Amazing Grace, spontaneously, at the altar.

He was the first president since Eisenhower to serve two terms without personal or political scandal.

He was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize.

President Obama was not perfect, as no man and no president is, and you can certainly disagree with his political ideologies. But to say we suffered?

If that’s the argument, if this is how we suffered for 8 years under Barack Obama, I have one wish: May we be so fortunate as to suffer 8 more."

The Lessons I Learned from My Dad

I am not the man my father is.
I am trying. Some days closer. Some days farther.
He never sat me down and explained these lessons. He lived them. I’m still learning them.

Show up.
The kitchen table. The hospital room. The funeral. The picket line. The call from the son who won’t answer.
Show up.
Most days that’s the whole job.
My whole life I watched him do it. Not for cameras. Not for headlines. Not because there was something in it for him. He showed up because someone needed him.

I learned that grief doesn’t make you special.
My father buried a wife and daughter. He buried a son. Yet he never treated grief as a claim on other people’s sympathy. Instead, it made him notice theirs.
A mother who lost a child. A father sitting beside a hospital bed. A kid scared about what comes next. A son who lost his mother, his sister, his brother.
He always noticed.

I learned that power is not the point.
The people who chase power eventually confuse the office with themselves.
My father never did.
Whether he was a county councilman, a senator, vice president, or president, he was the same man.
The title changed.
He didn’t.

I learned that family comes first.
The train from Wilmington wasn’t symbolism.
It was every night.
He read to us. Showed up to games. Sat through hospital rooms. Waited up for children who were lost.
And when the day came that the country and the family could not both have him at full strength, he chose family. He relinquished the last chapter of how he wanted to be remembered. And he never complained about it.

Most of all, I learned that love is not soft.
Love is discipline.
Love is showing up at one in the morning when nobody is watching.
Love is answering the phone.
Love is staying.
Love is getting back up after life knocks you down and doing it all again tomorrow.
That love saved my life.
I’ve failed at many of these lessons, sometimes in very public ways.
He loved me anyway.

That’s the last lesson.
I am not trying to become my father.
I am trying to carry what he gave me.
And if I can do that, even imperfectly, that will be enough.

Happy Father’s Day, Dad. I love you.

The World Cup fans falling in love with America aren’t in the places MAGA controls ... they’re in New York, LA, Seattle. Chicago, San Francisco, and Boston, the cities Republicans have spent a decade calling dangerous, godless hellholes that apparently the entire world wants to visit.

[Harry Sisson @harryjsisson]

Trump fell asleep with his face drooping in the Oval Office during a meeting today. This is a real video that should concern every American. He’s not fit to serve.

Hey @jaketapper here’s the cover for your book on Trump’s mental decline whenever you’re ready to finally write it

We’re in the middle of a pretty important naval blockade standoff with a country we’ve threatened to destroy, so it seems like a weird time for the Secretary of the Navy to abruptly depart.

And by “weird” I mean, WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON?

[James Tate @JamesTate121]

Very Good I would say!

If he’d threaten to murder an entire civilization, you can be pretty sure he raped those kids.

@jaketapper @CheriJacobus Hey ! You wanted him for President. Suck it ! Joe Biden is traveling around the country, speaking intelligently, and not threatening anyone.
YOU NORMALIZED TRUMP .

“They killed my mother — and before that, my brother. I urge everyone: do not go to the American aid distribution points soaked in blood. This bag only contains 2 empty flour sacks — nothing else — & yet they shot & killed my mother as she tried to get us something to eat today.”

Beware of any Christian movement that demands the government be an instrument of God's wrath but never a source of God's charity, mercy, or compassion.

Senator Mark Warner is one of the ”gang of 8” in 🇺🇸 congress having access to all intelligence, and also a thoughtful man. He’s always worth listening to.

Just because CBS kneels to Trump doesn’t mean the rest of us have to.

Pass this along on every one of your social media accounts.

Make sure it is seen far and wide in our country.

[Bill Madden @maddenifico]

Holt shit! We now have evidence that Trump is not only a pedophile, but that the DOJ, Pam Bondi, Kash Patel, and Todd Blanche are involved in a cover-up of the sadistic, evil, and criminal acts of a US president. This is the largest criminal conspiracy the world has ever seen.
