It doesn't even feel like Congress exists anymore.

He so desperately wants an American Empire with Canada,Greenland, Panama, and Mexico to match the "beauty" of the Russian Empire (with Ukraine and Crimea. Pathetic and really hope Canadian voters give him the middle finger today

Who could have had the foresight to see how this would end up? Certainly not the guy who "runs the world"!

U.S. agriculture isn’t nearing a trade war tariff crisis, it’s in a ‘full-blown crisis already,’ farmers say

Edit to add, why aren't Democrat leaders holding press conferences at various ports to highlight these issues? Put the blame squarely where it belongs and make a tangible connection between Trump and what's coming/here.

"A leading agriculture exports group said “massive” financial losses are already racking up at farms" -- which they will then have to sell to rich guys/agribusiness corporations. Huzzah!

I'm sure a bailout is coming. Farmers always get the handouts when shit they vote against their interests.

Anyone know a good site tracking the Canadian election?

Thanks Trump-Liberals win in Canada

Pretty much proving that they really are beyond saving.

someone's beyond saving, maybe...

Well the Conservatives would have won if Trump didn't try to meddle in Canada's sovereignty.

Trump has truly unified a country... against him.

Somebody decided to climb out of their cave.

Still waiting for an answer as to when Amercia was last "great"?.

Pierre Poilievre didn't just lose the chance to be Prime Minister. He lost his seat in Parliament as well.

That's the craziest part of the election last night. Will be interesting to see if he stays on as CPC leader or if they give him the boot.

Pritzker gave a really good speech the other day.

He is definitely gearing up. He and Newsom are laying the ground work, but in very different directions.

Amazon had planned to mark the cost of tariffs on products on their website. Trump called Bezos, and Bezos immediately back down like the little bitch that he is.

The White House is so proud of the tariffs they don’t want you to see what they actually cost. Kinda like how white supremacists are so proud they don’t want you to see their face.

Looks like Harvard is capitulating too

For all the talk about how much they hate communism, they sure are interested in a centrally planned economy.

And we both know who the establishment will get behind.

Here's what happens if you dare speak up about ousting the worst of your party. I remember a few folks here saying the Dems don't put their thumb on the scale of primaries.

https://www.semafor.com/article/04/2...le-hogg-at-dnc

Keep in mind the only source for Amazon displaying tariffs is Punchbowl News citing an anonymous source.

Well, except for Amazon itself confirming they were considering it for their Haul unit, sure.

The Liberal party came up just three seats short of a full majority, barring recount results.

It likely helps Amazon long term. They now don't have to lower prices if/when the tariffs get removed.

It's the new feudalism!

That sounds an awful lot like the jobs of the past to me.

Isn't the American dream to have no upward mobility, to do the job of your ancestors, and to have your meals and lodging provided by your owners?

Did he seriously say this?

I heard a good one the other day. Apparently HHS fired a scientist who has spent his whole career studying black lung in miners. At the same time passed a mandate saying they want to expand coal mining in West Virginia. Literally killing themselves to own the libs.

His kids went to college and are inheriting positions at Cantor.

I think we're moving the goalposts a tad here.

Did Lindsay Graham really float the idea of Trump as Pope? Surely that's a joke just to get people pissed right?

Trump played it like a joke, but as you've already seen from Grahan, the MAGA will fly right with them and start posting Pope Trump memes and such. If and when Graham and Tim Scott retire, I will lead the ticker tape parade to celebrate their losing their grip on this state.

It's only going to be worse.

It really just illustrates how far gone the religious right is. There was a time where they would at least pretend they are tolerating an imperfect Trump because he gave them what they wanted. Now they are calling for a man who every day does the opposite of what Jesus was teaching, to be Pope. It's remarkable.

It's because Christina's are the most oppressed group in America and the world. It's true because my priest said so.

Also, I don't know if anyone watched the ABC interview with Trump. I sure as fuck didn't, but I did see the clip off reddit where he argues that Garcia literally has the letters/numbers MS-13 tattooed on his fingers. He refuses to admit he's wrong. It's pathetic and anyone who supports him should feel ashamed, but they're just incapable.

Reddit link for reference. Blocked

Christina's are the absolute worst. They need to be locked away in camps.

I saw it. His brains are so cooked. I can't tell if he actually thinks the country is doing well or if he is so far gone he just listens to all the yes men.

It will be the greatest mystery of my life how people can't see right through his bullshit.

It's not that they can't see, it's that they don't care. Look at Jon. He says he's not enamored with Trump, but he's doing the main things he wants him to do.

Most of these people just want the gays gone, or the Mexicans gone, so they're willing to ignore the stupid shit as long as it happens. They assume the economy will bounce back because it always does. They don't care that he lies to get the things they want, because it gets the things they want. They're not doing it, they're not going to hell. God has pretty much been turned into a CCTV camera in modern Christianity and can't actually tell what's in your heart, only what you do.

The New Testament Karen's!

So in his interview Trump said he could make a call and get Garcia back, thus admitting he is defying a court order. The next sentence he says he is the president who follows the law.

I visited my Trumper parents this past weekend. As usual, we didn't talk politics, but my parents are also Catholic. My mom made many comments about how she did not care for Pope Francis. I wanted to ask her was it because he actually preached compassion and inclusiveness, but of course, I didn't because the satisfaction of calling her out on her BS is not worth the shitstorm it would cause.

At dinner, my brother brought up the idea of us getting Greek citizenship through my dad/grandfather. He couched it in terms of giving us greater freedom to spend time in the EU after retirement, and while he's no liberal (and my SIL is way right-wing), I did detect a hint of unspoken "...and so we can get the hell out of here in case things get worse" to his thought process. I think my mom did too, because she got increasingly agitated by the talk of getting dual citizenship, as if she would be damned if her kids were going to bail on this great country of ours that Trump is setting right!

It's something we're going to seriously consider. With my dad still alive, he'd have to get citizenship first, then us. If he passes, we could go straight to using our grandfather, but we have to get the documentation. That was my brother's question - who has all of that? We think it's my oldest cousin who has the family documents (which were kept by my dad's brother, who passed about 5 years ago).

Whitmer has submitted her application to be the next Tulsi.

We need age limits on this shit. His brain is completely cooked. The difference in him and Biden will be that Biden's people at least hid him from the public for years.

I had to see what you are talking about, and in the article about the controversy (Whitmer gave Trump a hug, btw) USA Today quoted JoJofromJerz reaction to it. Our country is so cooked.

So true. The other big difference is Biden came across as weak/feeble, looking like your typical elderly grandpa who has a hard time making it to the bathroom more than once a day, while Trump comes across as way more energetic but in a crazy kinda way, looking like that homeless guy wearing no pants mumbling to himself as he shuffles down the street. He's half-entertaining, half-scary, and no one has the onions to try to talk sense to him (or they're happy to use his con man abilities to push their agenda).

Not a great message.

DJT (probably)

I mean, talk about a double whammy of shitty messaging. Hey parents, your kids Xmas toys will cost more and be much harder to find. Het retailers, you're going to sell less of your product than you need to.

Sounds like communist Russia to me

It does remind me of Bernie Sanders complaining that we have too much choice when selecting deoderant.

Hey guys, quit being so pesimistic. You're lucky you're alive. If it wasn't for Trump, apparently 1/3 of the country would have died from fentanyl in the last 100 days.

That leaves ... 2/3s!

I believe the number is 258 million.

Just totally divorced from reality. Really dire shit. I know the simps have to keep up appearances but they have to be struggling through this.

From the same guy who said that low cost products aren't the American Dream.

People just can't wait so they can get here and pay max cost for every item they need. I know I get enjoyment out of paying more for things.

They have a guy who posted child porn earlier this year in the press briefing room.

Q: Will we see Barack Hussein Obama and Hillary Clinton be investigated?

I really, really, really don't like that woman.

Hillary Road Ham Clinton? Why would you even include her middle name if that is the best shot you could take at it? I assume it was included so he could toss out Hussein without it seeming completely out of place?

Who is that guy, besides a token plant?

Trump refers to the time he was the pope of Europe, when he sailed across the Atlantic and renamed the newly discovered continents "America" after his grandmothers Amelia and Erica.

Elon Musk reply guy on Twitter. Big into conspiracies like pizzagate and Qanon. Gained attention last year for posting child porn on Twitter, having his account banned, then Elon reinstating it. Nothing else real special about him.


Edit: He also put his watermark over the photos and videos he posted apparently.

A woman in oklahoma and her three daughters were forced from their home out into the rain at night by 20 heavily armed FBI, ICE, and HLS . The men broke everything and stole their computers and phones and $3000 cash. Then left them there. All three agencies deny they took part. My biggest surprise at this was that a local news station actually reported this.

Great translation, and the sad thing it is completely right:
"Look, stuff ordinary Americans want to buy will cost more, sure. And will be less available. But this will also hurt the Chinese - under Biden, it wasn't just Americans who were better off, it was ALSO the Chinese. Americans are ok with being hurt as long as they can hurt others"

lmao the minerals are in the part of the country that Russia now controls.

This feels like it would be too much for even a movie like Idiocracy.




It's worse than that. The WH has been having daily press briefings/Q&A sessions for right-wing "journalists" by invitation only.

Do you save money by getting yesterdays paper?

In the abc news interview Trump was asked what the Declaration of Independence means to him and he said, "It means exactly what says. It's a declaration of unity and love and respect".

Kind of like when he was asked about his favorite bible verse.

It will never cease to amaze me how people can listen to his non answers and rambling and think he is some kind of genius.

He literally sounds like a kid fumbling through an oral book report who hasn't read the book.

BREAKING NEWS: Mike Waltz, the man who accidentally added Jeffrey Goldberg to Pete Hegseth’s signal chat is OUT as Trump's national security adviser. Pete Hegseth should be next.

National security decisions are being influenced by someone who was literally committed to a mental institution.

We’re so fucked.

Is Scott Steiner running the tariff strategy for the USA?

OU KNOW THEY SAY ALL MEN ARE CREATED EQUAL. BUT YOU LOOK AT ME AND YOU LOOK AT SAMOA JOE AND YOU CAN SEE THAT STATEMENT IS NOT TRUE! SEE NORMALLY IF YOU GO 1 ON 1 WITH ANOTHER WRESTLER YOU GOT A 50/50 CHANCE OF WINNING! BUT I'M A GENETIC FREAK AND I'M NOT NORMAL! SO YOU GOT A 25% AT BEST AT BEAT ME! AND THEN YOU ADD KURT ANGLE TO THE MIX, YOU THE CHANCES OF WINNING DRASTIC GO DOWN! SEE THE 3 WAY AT SACRIFICE YOU GOT A 33 1/3 CHANCE OF WINNING. BUT I, I GOT A 66 2/3 CHANCE OF WINNING CAUSE KURT ANGLE KNOWS HE CAN'T BEAT ME AND HE'S NOT EVEN GONNA TRY! SO SAMOA JOE YOU TAKE YOUR 33 1/3 CHANCE MINUS MY 25% CHANCE AND YOU GOT 8 1/3 CHANCE OF WINNING AT SACRIFICE. BUT THEN YOU TAKE MY 75% CHANCE OF WINNING IF WE WAS TO GO 1 ON 1 AND THEN ADD 66 2/3 %. I GOT A 141 2/3 CHANCE OF WINNING AT SACRIFICE! SENIOR JOE?THE NUMBERS DON'T LIE AND THEY SPELL DISASTER FOR YOU AT SACRIFICE!

EDIT: I know the Bondi thing isn't tariff related, but it is the same typical jumble of random numbers.

Every fentanyl laced pill kills 6 Americans

I can understand the first person dying. But the other 5? Sorry, bud, it's your own fault!

Not fired. Moving to the UN, and now little Marco is going to be acting NSA director. Because you know, being Secretary of State is famously a part time gig.

A full third of the country is assembled human centipede style so when the first person takes the fentanyl pill it goes through the other 5 people in the chain and kills them too.

Donald Trump's understanding of GDP is basically this immortal reddit post from 6 years ago.


[OC] After adjusting Patrick Mahomes' stats, removing outliers to project the future, he heavily regresses to around the level of 2018 Dak.

I didn't realize RFK doesn't believe in germ theory. How did this man get confirmed? We won't fully recover from the damage he's doing to US heakthcare.

I guess we should start a Trump Papacy 1.0 thread. If I my priest says something about woke instead of this shit tomorrow, I'm literally walking out during mass.

Are you kidding, ghost. Catholic churches have been evangelicallike for years
It's pretty gross. Some are like megachurches

You have to search hard to find people so ill-suited for their jobs. RFK isn’t merely incompetent; he wants to ban things that work and then use faerie dust in their place.

The local covent for nuns is pretty on the ball with numerous and very large handmade wooden signs all over the yard criticizing how immigrants and minorities are currently being treated.

I couldn’t tell you much about the stance of the local Catholic Church other than the people that attend are nearly 100% MAGA so I assume they aren’t preaching this stuff and the signs are a form of protest.

As someone who studied feudalism pretty deeply, I'd say there's a potential argument that it was a more humane system than what Lutnik is proposing.

Amazing the shit this guy can say and not become a pariah.

Why has he gotten stuck on 30 dolls? Why does he seem to obsess with certain random made up numbers?

This one is a doozy

On Meet the Press, Kristen Welker asks Donald Trump when it becomes his economy:

Pro business party!

I'll tell ya what, David. I do want the credit without any of the blame.

At least he tells you like it is. No accountability whatsoever, and will only take credit for the good things. He even admits it. In my business, you get fired for doing that.

I get the point but he isn’t telling anything like it is. He’s telling everything like a person with no concept of reality thinks it is.

This is what happens when someone is born into money and is relentless enabled from birth. Trump is the worst type of person America can produce.

Hey Elon, I found some waste. I mean, it's only $45-90M, but still....
