1975 really was the best of times...

Everybody...EVERYBODY!! Don't worry, he's crazy, not stupid. Wait - I mean he's stupid, not crazy...oh...crap.
Love the news he's bringing, but that dude is unwatchable. I don't suppose we'll ever get back to sober news delivery, but trying to consume information from people flailing about like the inflatable tube men outside a car dealership gives me motion sickness.
I can only listen to these people speak for so long. But I enjoy thinking about how the ever image-conscious Trump would feel about the camera angle (caused by his decision to take substantial weight off his elderly feet) has framed him presiding over a pile of junk and cardboard boxes.
"Introspection invented a hundred years ago..." Paging Augustine of Hippo. The real problem is that people will slurp this up like swine to justify immoral behavior.
Farrago. Nice.
Shocking.
They get so flustered when she doesn't just say "jawohl!" I want to be her when I grow up.
Can someone who's better than I at making gifs put Trump's face on Bilbo and have him holding the Western Hemisphere?
Four generations of my family have served our country. Service is in my blood. The President wouldn’t know anything about that.
Sure. And just a hint of desperation.
Kind of, but a month earlier to take oxygen out of bad polls and nasty messages and illegal boat strikes.
Speeches like tonight's presidential address are so important. I feel like they should be required by law and enshrined in our Constitution. Right about this time of year, we should have a summary of achievement and a game plan for what's to come. Trump innovates again!
I am (sincerely) enjoying this respite from *gestures at everything* as people lob gifs of movies at @radiofreetom.bsky.social and he gives hot takes.
Immigrants, man...
Hi! Been a while - hope you're still playing!
A favorite version
My guess is this guy isn't going to be put up by the administration to testify before congress anymore. They have much better liars on the payroll.
"I don't know what I need to know (so please teach me)! I also know exactly what I need to know about (so please don't waste my time by teaching me anything else)!"
Tubberville has a Dunning-Kruger-like ability to take himself so seriously, yet utter the most ridiculously unserious, absurd ideas. He honestly needs a healthy dose of imposter syndrome and question what the hell he's doing in the U.S. Senate.
Yes! It's all just so very stupid, destroying so many of our strategic and institutional advantages in the name of...caprice? Xenophobia? Racism? None of it makes sense.
Paging Drs. Dunning and Kruger!
People ask what they can do in this moment: here's a crucially important election. There are 52,000 elections taking place next month, many of which will be determined by turnout.
National guard troops lounging outside a Krispy Kreme
Dearest Martha,
The National Guard stand solemn watch at the Krispy Kreme tonight. I cannot tell if they defend the people from the donuts, or the donuts from the people. Powdered sugar hangs in the air like cannon smoke. Jensen took a hot coffee to the face, he may never recover.
Yours in glaze,
Warrior spirit! This has gotta be great for morale, pulling these men and women away from their families...for this ridiculous display.
