RFK, Jr.: "It's amazing how quickly the flu spreads in crowded classrooms. It's a total mystery. No one knows why."
PETE HEGSETH: "It's a well known fact that the flue *can't* spread in a crowded submarine. Jesus said that. Or did I read it on the bottom of a beer bottle cap? Another mystery, man!"

👀🇪🇺 "The Mail may have been expecting its own readers to back Brexit, however early indications of the poll put 73% of respondents as saying Britain should rejoin the EU because it’s better for the economy.
"As time went on, this number grew to 84%."
Sure, he’s deporting citizens, eliminating jobs, healthcare, and education, destroying the economy, and blowing up the world…
But hey, at least we’re gonna get Ultimate Fighting on the White House lawn!
Imagine if instead of spending billions of dollars supporting terrorists or weapons, the United States had spent that money helping the people of the United States
The National Science Foundation which funds a quarter of all basic scientific research in the country is being dismantled.
Of COURSE he's insider trading. He's a crook, he's ALWAYS been a crook, he's using the presidency to make billions.
He ran to stay out of jail, to make money and to feel powerful, because that's what a narcissist like him gets off on. It was never about helping people.
In a sane administration, the FBI Director doesn’t go on the morning news to prove he’s not a drunk, the Defense Secretary doesn’t quote Tarantino to prove he’s a man of God, and the President doesn’t take multiple cognitive exams to prove he’s not insane.
Pete Hegseth stood at a Pentagon podium this weekend and threatened to bomb Iran’s civilian power grid.
Under international law, intentionally targeting civilian energy infrastructure is a war crime.
Quality.
The FBI Director, the DC US Attorney, and the Secretary of Defense walk into a bar.
Apparently like every day.
Every day I encounter afresh how unnecessary most human suffering is, how much can be prevented by basic decency and baseline competence.
And encounter afresh how much worse even the worst of this is made by the daily emotional terrorism of a supremacist leader and his morally vacant enablers.

Sean had to declare publicly that he will no longer be following his faith—because how else would anyone be able to tell?
Impeach, remove and IMPRISON
Holy SHIT someone found the test pressing of Robert Johnson's Cross Road Blues and it is clear as a PIN www.openculture.com/2026/04/reco...
Steve Bannon pissed his pants on stage at the World Economic Forum, Kash Patel is missing, Pete Kegsbreth is quoting Pulp Fiction as the Bible, RFK, Jr. eats raccoon penis, and Trump keeps using war to milk the markets. No one is coming to save us. We have to save ourselves. Lock them all up.

Thinking about the 62 million views, and then thinking about how marital rape was only made illegal in all 50 US states in the summer of 1993.

A jury has found that Live Nation has been operating as an illegal monopoly.
Live Nation used its dominance to harm customers, artists, and venues alike. Other monopolies take away our freedoms in similar ways.
