Make it make sense.

Today's winner of the Internet. Congratulations!

What a surprise.

Aaron Astor: My general tendency is to reject conspiracy theories. And yet, this keeps happening - massive trades just minutes before Trump announces something. And that something (Iran handing over uranium and opening Hormuz) often turns out not to be true at all.

The FBI Director Is MIA Kash Patel has alarmed colleagues with episodes of excessive drinking and unexplained absences.

"[Several officials] said that [Kash Patel] is known to drink to the point of obvious intoxication, in many cases at the private club Ned’s in Washington, D.C., while in the presence of White House and other administration staff."

"It's definitely not open," @ksadjadpour.bsky.social says of the Strait of Hormuz. "I don't think any major shipping or oil company would tell you that we've gone back to status quo ante, and that process could take many, many months."

Trump Thinks He’s Become Orange Jesus In Trump 1.0, people mocked the President by calling him Orange Jesus. In Trump 2.0, he actually thinks he’s become Jesus, Susan B. Glasser writes.

At 250 feet tall, Trump's arch would be the biggest such structure in the world. Asked last fall what this modern-day arch was meant to commemorate, Trump pointed to himself and replied, “Me.” @sbg1.bsky.social www.newyorker.com/news/letter-...

Ex-model, arrested by Aventura police and deported, causes White House stir A Brazilian brought to the U.S. on an Epstein plane at age 16 lashes out at the Trumps, saying she was betrayed by her friend Melania.

"Some of the legislation which is great that you've been talking about—there is 0 chance that that'll be signed into law by President Trump, period, full stop. And that's the reason, that's another reason why we have to put the horse before the cart, and the horse is getting rid of him."

Peter Schiff: The most likely explanation for Trump's Truth Social lies about Iran on Friday, is market manipulation. If so, Trump insiders must have made billions. The next likely possibility is that Trump is either delusional, incompetent, or a combination of both. Either way it's not good.

There was a time when the president inspired pride instead of exhaustion. I miss that more than I can say.

Ossoff: I don’t know who placed those trades, but I’ll tell you this: the SEC better find out. And if they won’t, when you elect this new majority in Congress and you give us gavels and subpoenas, we will.

So the peace deal lasted until the markets closed on Friday

“They’ll never close the Strait again” lasted a solid 10 hours.

Masterful negotiation (read: market manipulation) from Trump

Daniel Goldman: Every single organization in America would fire Mike Johnson if he were their CEO. The American people will fire him in November.

Please clap.

I’ll never get used to the president being a petty, whiny little bitch

"What's hard to figure out is that he can't separate wrapping himself in the military successes instead of trying to figure out what's the strategy for what we're doing and...trying to achieve."

Mark Hertling on why questioning strategy is not the same as criticizing troops.

Images of food being served to sailors on the USS Abraham Lincoln and USS Tripoli, published by USA Today. Supplies "are going to get really low" and "morale is going to be at an all-time low," one sailor messaged his mother

Asshole Trump will just not let this go. He has sent out Hegseth (w not much prodding) to further validate the comparison of Trump to Jesus. If the constant blasphemy is NOT an indication of not only evil, but bat shit craziness of Trump & Co, I don't know what is.

“The most Christian administration ever” 👍

Leo: "The message of the church, the message of the gospel -- blessed are the peacemakers. I do not look at my role as being political. I don't want to get into a debate with him. I don't think the message of the gospel is meant to be abused in the way that some people are doing."

When it's political. To some extent.

But this isn't political.
Political is more tax v less tax/free Healthcare v paid.

This is freedom v oppression.

Every human should stand up against oppression.

Especially those with a platform.

Periodic reminder that the president has lost his fucking mind
