“South Korea never respected any other President enough to honor him this way” Okay but maybe… and hear me out here… just maybe there is no historical precedent of a sitting president so clueless and self-centered as to be willing to accept A LITERAL GOLD CROWN as a gift

What a thing to tweet at the Japanese

Don’t worry about your social safety net, America The White House is on the case with vaguely racist memes, rain or shine

The central coordinating office for the most powerful and capable intelligence apparatus in the world Reduced to shitposting against the President’s adversaries. This is pathetic.

I think at a certain point - like after a year on the job If you’re making no progress in rooting out all these alleged “sabotage” and “deep state” elements in the Bureau Maybe you’re just not that good at law enforcement and should consider returning to a career in podcasting

Sometimes I wonder how and why I’m seeing so much more overtly racist discourse on social media But then I see POTUS posting “go back to Africa” - to a US Representative no less - with the message amplified by official government accounts And the mystery becomes less mysterious

For over a century the rich have promised that increased automation, while costing jobs, will somehow lead to reduced hours and work weeks, and increased income for workers. Anyone who would believe Musk promising an eventual Universal Basic Income is historically illiterate.

This is the 10-month progression from enforcing punishment over immigration status to demanding punishment for dissent. > Deport all illegal immigrants >> Actually, deport legal immigrants too >>> Actually, deport foreign-born citizens >>>> Actually, deport native-born citizens

In a different time, it was considered gauche to glaze your boss at every opportunity And the mark of a good leader to praise their deputies and organization for hard work and dedication

If you consider a candidate running for office, in a location where you don’t live, speaking Arabic, as “humiliating” Then you probably need to look inward and consider how much of that is normal vs how much is a weird kink.

Hard to find a more on-the-nose summary of contemporary Republican priorities than “Killing all the right people and cutting taxes”

In his January 2003 State of the Union Address, George W. Bush said: “Saddam Hussein, a brutal dictator, with a history of reckless aggression, with ties to terrorism, with great potential wealth, will not be permitted to dominate a vital region and threaten the United States.”

Absolutely wild that POTUS thinks: “Because I was indicted and was innocent” is the explanation they should be blasting out for why there are so many prosecutions of his political enemies. Not even bothering to hide the weaponization and corruption. Amplifying it.

Masked federal agents Crashing their car into a US Citizen’s vehicle Getting out, guns drawn, and detaining said US citizen without charge or probable cause In broad daylight And with the agents involved certain to face no consequences for their actions Means we are fucked.

“HOLD THE LINE” where “THE LINE” is being an absolutely batshit insane and insufferable Karen to everyone around you

“The FBI has called me and said the Muslims wanna kill me”

Sitting FBI Director commenting on an active high-profile case that multiple prosecutors said would already be unlikely to result in conviction While already facing claims of vindictive prosecution from the defense Is just… a dumb move. Completely unforced Bush League-ery.

I gotta admit, “I refuse to feed the poor” is not the hill that I thought Trump would choose to defy a federal court order on

Ted Cruz is a man with no sincere beliefs and no principles. To stand in the same place a month ago and chastise Dems for their rhetoric only to come out and call a US Citizen “a literal American-hating jihadist” Just to jump on the bandwagon and toss out red meat? Soulless.

White House going through some real stages of cope after last night and it shows
