lol imagine being on a submarine right now
Washington Examiner: Imagine it was someone other than President Donald Trump. Suppose a different leader were posting deranged rants in the small hours, insulting the spiritual leader of 1.3 billion Catholics, threatening entire civilizations with annihilation, and comparing himself to God. What would be the reaction?

Obnoxious prick.
Why would any other country trust us?
“Farage rarely turns up to do his actual job. Yet he finds time to jet off around the world on his donor’s private plane and trouser half a million quid while families struggle. Reform are not on your side. They’re just in it for themselves”
It’s so obvious, it hurts.

Ross Douthat's column on the fall of Orbán persuades me that Ross (1) knows nothing abut Orbán, (2) knows nothing about Péter Magyar, and (3) knows nothing about Hungary. Otherwise it's an interesting piece.
"We accidentally made an animated graphic for Reform and then did a party political broadcast for them by mistake."
Tesla saved $400 million on its federal taxes by shifting billions of its U.S. profits to countries with lower tax rates.
Yes: While you paid your taxes in full, giant corporations maneuvered to pay as little as possible — and it’s all perfectly legal for them.
The system is rigged.
Coachella is removing these videos, so they might be about to learn about the Strokesand Effect.
@ofcom.bsky.social I know you won't do anything about this, because you are as corrupt as BBC News.
LOUDER!
Effective 2025 federal tax rates paid by these corporations:
Alphabet: 8.01%
AT&T: 4.6%
Meta: 3.57%
General Motors: 3.09%
Amazon: 1.37%
Exxon Mobil: 1.31%
Disney: -1.57%
CVS Health: -3.88%
Income tax rate paid by the typical American: 14.5%
This is what a rigged system looks like.
Nailed it!
As he says: "Don't boo - VOTE!"
www.msn.com/en-au/news/o... while we pay millions for him to play golf, he has become the richest president while in office in the history of America 5.4 billion and counting
So was Angela Rayner.
Richard Tice, you must also resign, by your own standards.
We could have great cheap green energy everywhere. But the oligarchs don't like that idea because they can't profit if we all produce our own energy. It's going to happen anyway in spite of them.
The administration is creating 15 new state director offices. Every single one triggers that provision.
There’s also a standstill clause. During the required 30-day notification period, the agency can’t take any action to begin implementation and can’t make any public announcement “in any form.”
It’s a mark of how completely normalised the corruption & depravity have become that we barely bat an eyelid at the thought of two *property developers*, one Trump’s nepo baby son-in-law, being sent to represent the USA in peace negotiations with Iran. Sometimes it all hits you afresh.
"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..."

I don’t think we talk nearly enough about the fact that corporations like Amazon, don’t pay a single cent to maintain the roads they use, the transportation system they use, the courts they use, they pay nothing for the infrastructure that is absolutely critical to their business.
WE Pay for
The Doug Ford Grift: A $29 Million Gravy Plane & The Death of Public Healthcare
Ford is out of control. Defunded hospitals, a 28.9 million dollar luxury jet, and deleted phone records. It is time to rein in this super-majority. #cdnpoli

Traders placed over $1bn in perfectly timed bets on the Iran war. What is going on? www.theguardian.com/world/2026/a...
For the first time in decades, consensus broke at the UN Commission on the Status of Women. The United States cast the lone “no” vote on a document aimed at improving justice systems for women and girls worldwide. Misogyny is the official policy of the US under Trump.
Trump reminds me of serial killers who love to see themselves portrayed in the media and how they are outsmarting the police.
Fun fact that lying UK journalistic hacks won’t tell you because they hate Labour: Boris Johnson did not pass vetting when Theresa May appointed him Foreign Secretary. #UKPolitics
It should be greater cause for pause -- and alarm -- that, at a time when we increasingly associate manifestos with mass murderers, the Silicon Valley elites can't stop writing manifestos.
This one does not disappoint.
