The next DOJ should be ready to claw back every penny of this corrupt "settlement" with Trump.

There is no way the republicans would be anything less that outraged if Obama had taken almost $2 billion of taxpayer dollars and given it to people he pardoned for trying to steal an election. Every republican in congress who doesn’t speak up and prevent this is complicit

My thoughts on the Swalwell stuff.

Notice how Democrats always hold their own accountable and Republicans just yell fake news, no matter how vile the evidence is?

5 billion..yes BILLION people have had a Covid vaccine

If they were anywhere NEAR as unsafe as antivaxxers would have you believe, we should have had a mass global population die off by now

We have not

They are lying

Have a lovely day

With profound sorrow, we say goodbye to John Kinsel Sr., one of the last surviving Navajo Code Talkers, who passed away at the age of 107. With him departs a living chapter of history — written not in ink, but in courage, sacrifice, and unwavering duty.

Instead of stealing Greenland from Denmark, let’s steal some of their policies.

In Denmark:

- Health care and college are free.  

- The starting wage is $22/hr.

- Paid parental leave is 1 year.

- Paid vacation is 6 weeks.  

- All workers get pensions.

Well, it wasn’t easy, but Trump did it.

He ended the several hundred year friendship between the US and Canada — our neighbor and closest ally.

Isolationism is a dumb idea, but going out of your way to get countries around the world to actually hate us is even stupider.

Totally insane. First, a gym full of people. Then an overflow crowd. Then an overflow-overflow crowd, and an overflow-overflow-overflow crowd.

More than 9,000 people came out in Warren, MI to say NO to oligarchy & NO cuts to Social Security, Medicaid, and VA programs.

This is a proper throwback! On this day in 1999 I finished my first WRC event in the factory Focus with 5th place at the Safari Rally 🇰🇪 I wasn't meant to drive but came in after Rådstrom got injured! My friend/teammate Colin McRae won the rally, so it was a memorable time! 🤩

The Oval Office has long been a symbol of American leadership, diplomacy, and decorum—a space where world leaders engage in high-stakes discussions with mutual respect, even amid disagreement. Yesterday’s debacle shattered that image.

What began as a diplomatic meeting devolved into a televised shouting match, with Trump and Vance berating Zelenskyy in a manner more akin to a personal grudge than statecraft. The raw hostility—Trump accusing Zelenskyy of “gambling with World War III” and Vance demanding gratitude like a schoolteacher scolding a student—stripped away any veneer of professionalism and resulted in a petty, theatrical confrontation. Which, to be fair, was probably the intention.

The public nature of the meltdown amplifies the embarrassment. Unlike past Oval Office tensions—like Nixon’s private rants or Clinton’s discreet scandals—this clash unfolded live before cameras, capturing every raised voice and pointed finger. The world watched as Trump interrupted Zelenskyy’s attempts to discuss Russia’s broken agreements, dismissing him with, “You’ve done a lot of talking,” and Vance chimed in with, “Have you said thank you once?” The optics were disastrous: a U.S. administration humiliating an ally fighting for survival, all while the Ukrainian ambassador sat with her head in her hands.

This wasn’t a leaked transcript or a hushed rumor; it was a global spectacle, branding the U.S. as impulsive and unstatesmanlike.

Historically, Oval Office embarrassments—like Reagan’s “bombing Russia” quip or Bush’s awkward Merkel shoulder rub—pale in comparison. Those were gaffes, fleeting and unintentional. This was deliberate and sustained, a tag-team assault on a guest that undermined America’s moral authority.

Zelenskyy came seeking security guarantees and a minerals deal, not a lecture on gratitude. Instead, Trump and Vance turned what was supposed to be an olive branch into a cudgel, canceling a joint press conference and effectively kicking him out of the White House.

The message to our allies is chilling: U.S. support comes with a loyalty test, administered publicly and punitively.

America First inexorably drifts towards America Alone. We saw this last night, as world leaders rallied behind Zelenskyy, with figures like the U.K.’s Ed Davey labeling it “thuggery.”

The only real winner here? The Kremlin. Putin almost certainly reveled in the chaos, as Trump’s alignment with his own interests—demanding Ukraine concede rather than resist—played out live.

For a nation that positions itself as *the* beacon of democracy, this was a self-inflicted wound, projecting weakness and division at a time when unity mattered most.

To be clear: the embarrassment isn’t just about the yelling or the optics—it’s the betrayal of purpose.

The Oval Office is the space that hosted FDR’s wartime resolve, Kennedy’s Cuban Missile Crisis finesse, and countless moments of quiet strength. To see it reduced to a stage for Trump’s ego and Vance’s grandstanding, against a leader whose country faces existential ruin, feels like a new low. It’s not simply undignified; it’s a rejection of the values the room once stood for.

[Angry Staffer @Angry_Staffer]

What an absolute fucking embarrassment.

It’ll play great on Russian media and with the useful idiots on Twitter, though.
