"You have Black cops alongside white construction workers and Native Americans, and everybody’s a peaceful, joyful version of the melting pot."

The absolute antithesis of the Miller-Trump regime's anti-immigrant white nationalist bigotry.

Trump Boasts That International Criminal Court in The Hague Has Invited Him to Receive Award β€œIt will probably be some kind of medal or maybe a gleaming gold trophy," he mused.

The ICC already gave Trump their top honor. πŸ˜‚

But Lindsey deserves a seat at the table.

Trump: I will not sign any new bills until voter disenfranchisement passes.

Americans, exhausted of awful legislation like the OBBBA: Hallelujah!

Of course he cares. He made $4 billion off the presidency in his first year. A Dem House, with Dem control of committees and oversight, would expose and tamp down the corruption, costing him billions over the last two years of his presidency.

And why haven't we've learned from our mistakes?

Dow futures tumble 900 points as U.S. oil tops $100 a barrel to begin the week's trading: Live updates The Dow recorded its worst week since President Trump unveiled his tariff policy in April.

"The $100 oil level was seen by many on Wall Street as a breaking point for the economy unless the war is resolved quickly and prices retreat.

"The war showed little signs of easing despite Trump’s claim it was 'already won'..."

Yeah. We're screwed.

Are you sure it's Iran?

Markwayne keeps saying it's Iraq.

IDK.

Some Ayatollah been ruling some country somewhere.

The far-left's extremist "sun is unequivocally good and necessary to life" position has undoubtedly alienated swing voters, possibly even costing Harris the 2024 election.

Dems need to moderate on this issue to appeal to the median voter.

"Pedal to the metal" on plunging the world into World War 3 and a global depression.

He could maybe let up on the gas.

"you and your husband decided to wait to vaccinate your kids, though you’re a little conflicted about it. You’re not an extremist. You’re open to new information. You can always change your mind, you reason. You’re just weighing the evidence."

Instead, your kid died.

Excellent, heartbreaking piece

Sure, she got a made-up job.

Like Trump got a made-up FIFA peace prize and "champion of clean coal" $100 trophy.

Whatever, she's out as DHS secretary. And Markwaynejoebob is in.

And nothing's gonna change because Stephen Miller's really in charge.

06.03.2026 21:51 πŸ‘ 2 πŸ” 0 πŸ’¬ 0 πŸ“Œ 0

Everyone knows President Stephen Miller is the one calling the shots on deportation.

Noem, Markwaynejoebob whatever, they don't matter. They're just Senate-confirmed figureheads to be the front for Miller's dirty work.

Kristi Noem won't be remembered for anything. Maybe puppy killing. At most.

May be facetious, but I'm also thinking the dog.

She's an abominable human being, but she was never really in charge at DHS.

She'll be a footnote in history. But maybe, just maybe memorable for killing the dog.

The elite got rich off subprime mortgages, destroyed the housing market, and millions lost their homes.

The elites got bailed out, and none went to prison.

Straight line from the GFC of 2008 to the anti-establishment Trump wave in 2016.

People are fed up, but they express "fed up" in stupid ways.

Every $4 million Patriot missile spent stopping a $20k Shahed drone is one less missile remaining to defend Taiwan. Or Ukraine.

Of course they're helping Iran.

Trump depleting the US weapons supply on a war of choice is an enormous gift to Russia and China.

Still groveling for whatever scraps he'll throw her way.

Like a puppy who hasn't yet been shot by its owner.

Trump will declare unconditional surrender on behalf of Iran.

Just like Trump unilaterally claimed bilateral tariff deals.

You can't make this stuff up.

But I called it a couple hours ago.

"He is not just unprepared. He is temperamentally unfit to hold an office that requires knowledge, stability, and immense responsibility. This is not someone who should ever have the nuclear codes."

We were warned 10 years ago. Yet here we are.

Of course he did.

Toppling regimes is the easy part.

Then the nation building starts.

But this regime doesn't do that part.

Just the shock and awe.

Spreading chaos, not democracy, worldwide.

Also Trump is a massive chaos agent. Ending clean energy subsidies, tariffs changing weekly, random wars.

Automakers should do the right thing for the planet in the long run.

Also markets reward short-term profits.

Long-term planning is really challenging when the economic environment is chaos.

If you're testing messaging...

I vote for "Trump is a titanic f*ck up" over "America is in need of a major course correction".

Seriously, though, thanks so much for your work!!

Iran crisis could disrupt supply of key chipmaking materials, South Korea warns The U.S.-Israel war with Iran could disrupt supplies of key semiconductor manufacturing materials, a South β€ŒKorean ruling party lawmaker said on Thursday, as the conflict in the Middle East entered it...

That's bad.

But what if China takes advantage of the depleted state of US munitions stockpiles to seize Taiwan?

It could get way worse.

For now: "Taiwan's TSMC said in a statement that it did not anticipate any significant impact currently, β€Œand ⁠will continue monitoring the situation closely."
