Our system was (foolishly) based on the presumption of good faith. We have rampant voter suppression and widespread misinformation peddled by an irresponsible media. Even with that, he lost more votes than he won. We have to fix it, but doing so would require the red states to engage in good faith
arrests in the "stealing" or something. or some such BS
Offs.
Can the news not spark that reaction just once?
As usual these days, it feels like this week has been months long. And it’s just after 6am on a Tuesday
I’ll warn my daughter that you’re on to her this week
Nor will I. It’s crushing
And not a single one of the Beatitudes
That’s why it’s taped ahead of time
We must use US taxpayer dollars to backstop the UAE
Which is facing economic problems caused by the war Trump started and doesn't know how to win
A war encouraged by leaders of the UAE
Who have given hundreds of millions in bribes to Trump, his family, and associates
Of course he does
Has been since Columbine, at least
Not Your Average Liberal @NotAvgLiberal Just read it. Spot On - An Aussie reply to Trump’s rant about ‘NATO not being there for us’: “Mate. You run a country with 600,000 homeless people sleeping on the street tonight. A country where 40% of adults can't cover a $400 emergency without borrowing money. A country where insulin costs more than a car payment and people are rationing it to survive. A country where medical debt is the number 1 cause of bankruptcy. A country where women are dying in hospital car parks because doctors are too scared of abortion laws to treat a miscarriage. You lock up more of your own citizens than any nation on earth. More than China. More than Russia. More than North Korea. The land of the free has 2 million people in cages, and a quarter of them haven't even been convicted of anything. They're just too poor to make bail. Your life expectancy is going backwards. You're the only developed nation where that's happening. Your infant mortality rate is worse than Cuba's. Your kids do active shooter drills between maths and English while you sell the gunmaker's stock to your mates. Your minimum wage hasn't moved in 15 years. You've got teachers working 2 jobs and veterans sleeping under bridges and you just spent a trillion dollars flattening a country that didn't attack you.
Wow. Check out this Aussie telling it like it is.

Alas, not a slip. This is what Bessent is doing, apparently
Honestly? Kind of funny in the grossest way possible. Discovery, Kash, discovery
And indeed, stocks predictably fall by ~300 pts. No manipulation here, nope nope
I shouldn’t check the news until after work, I suppose

"The company founded and formerly run by Trump Energy Secretary Chris Wright recorded $193 million of income last year but paid no 2025 federal corporate income taxes, according to its regulatory filings, and actually got more than $10 million back from the IRS..."

Again?!
Maybe sleep
The author of this article refused to sign an NDA, giving up severance and healthcare benefits to tell this story.
If you didn't read it already, read it.
Because he refused, we may be able to stop the Kennedy Center from being sold for parts and turned into a gaudy MAGA fundraising warehouse.
Much, much more
When you look something up in desperate hope it’s not true and then give a sob
Trump: WE HAVE DEAL!
Markets: HOORAY!!
Iran: We don't.
Trump: THE STRAIT IS OPEN FOR ALL!!
Markets: ALL RIGHT, LFG!!
Iran: It is not.
Trump: WE'RE GETTING ALONG GREAT WITH IRAN!!
Markets: OH MY GOD AWESOME!!
Iran: The fuck is wrong with you?
www.cnbc.com/2026/04/17/i...
Trump, you fucking idiot
The STRAITS WERE OPEN just fine 6 weeks ago
But it cost us 13 dead great American service members.
Thousands of dead civilians
BILLIONS OF DOLLARS of taxpayers money
Loss of standing in global world
Iran still has uranium
Economists call it a K-shaped economy: the rich rise fast, working families fall behind. Growth that leaves people poorer isn’t success—it’s failure.
Meantime, Trump & his uber-wealthy enablers rake in obscene amounts of money.
Vote for Democrats.
I was going to try to be helpful and see what the nut said about Pope Leo last night, but the search function appears to be dodgy. May I suggest AI’s vaunted coding capability as an alternate target?
Pope Leo XIV: Woe to those who manipulate religion in the very name of God for their own military, economic, or political gain, dragging that which is sacred into filth. The world is being ravaged by tyrants, yet it is held together by a multitude of supportive brothers and sisters.
No. Pope Leo wouldn’t stoop to this idiotic nonsense. But, um, I’m childishly glad someone did it for him
No, it’s good here, too. I’ve heard that one before and it’s good phrasing. But yeah, our public transportation system sucks.
In his second term, Mr. Trump seems even less restrained and more incoherent at times. He uses more profanity, speaks longer and regularly makes comments rooted in fantasy rather than fact. He keeps saying that his father was born in Germany when in fact he was born in the Bronx. He repeats an invented story about his uncle, an M.I.T. professor, telling him about teaching the terrorist known as the Unabomber. He wanders off into odd tangents — an eight-minute ramble at a Christmas reception about poisonous snakes in Peru, a long digression during a cabinet meeting about Sharpie pens, an interruption of an Iran war update to praise the White House drapes. He has confused Greenland with Iceland and more than once boasted of ending a fictional war between Cambodia and Azerbaijan, two countries separated by nearly 4,000 miles. (He evidently means Armenia and Azerbaijan).
oh so this this guy's an ancient, visibly mentally decompensating lunatic you wouldn't trust to run a lemonade stand? nobody could have predicted
