Is it wrong that I've got some time for a movie on Friday and all anyone wants to talk about is You Can See Everything but I kinda would rather see Wildwood?

So Trump’s like an ass phrenologist
Trump: The fake news only covered the ass part. They said 'what the hell was Trump doing talking about a man's anatomy? He was talking about his ass.' I studied his ass to see where the power came from

So it’s like if I went into an Applebees and told everyone they’re fired. Except with significantly more death and suffering.
NEW: The DOGE operative who gutted USAID -- firing thousands of employees and canceling lifesaving programs -- never actually signed the paperwork that's legally required for him to be employed by the agency.
A 28-Year-Old DOGE Operative Gutted USAID. HR Had No Record of Him Working There
Despite the agency's human resources department saying he hadn’t even been onboarded, Jeremy Lewin oversaw the destruction of USAID. It’s not clear he had the legal authority to do so.

Yes, use oil, which is well-known for never harming animals. In fact, sea birds love to be coated in it.

Everyone in the US has the right to call people what they want. That’s not a special power of the president. Like I can call Trump “Rapey McDumpsterass.”
Trump: "He said, 'Why does he keep calling me Muhammed? I said, you know why? Because I'm president of the United States. I can call you whatever the hell I want."

I mean, for fuck's sake, is it really that hard to figure out who the incumbent senator is? (I'm shocked they're not also going after ranked choice voting)

Every made-up controversy they create is so fucking stupid. "People don't have time to read a word on a ballot" is an embarrassing thing to say. But unlike Vance, I am capable of feeling shame.
Q: Why shouldn't Alaskans find it insulting that the administration is suggesting they can't read the word 'incumbent' on their ballot and know to vote for Sen. Sullivan?

This is to het up the blood of his cretin brigades so they disrupt polling places. No one is ever getting a million bucks out of him.
Trump: "Anybody reporting Voter Fraud in the past Elections, or the upcoming 2026 Midterm Election, will be paid $1,000,000 upon the arrest and conviction of those that created the Fraud! Thank you for your attention to this matter. President DONALD J. TRUMP"

This is an unexpectedly rational response when Trump was asked how it will work if he has a Democratic Congress: "It'll work because I'll be vetoing everything. And then they're going to call and say, how do we get something passed and we'll make a deal. So, we'll, you know, be able to do that."

A nation succeeding at developing an industry isn’t stealing anything. But what do I know? I’m not an expert like this pampered, corrupt dementia patient running a money-laundering operation while pretending to be a big, tough builder.
Trump: "Look, if we had smart presidents, the Taiwan problem with China wouldn't exist. Nobody would care. They stole our chip business. All of it. 100 percent."

AG TODD BLANCHE: What's the crime? Well it depends. There *could* be a crime. But the real wrong here is that Alaskans are gonna be confused.
BASH: The Alaskan Supreme Court ruled 4 months ago on this matter

This ad is pathetic, and it’s a more extreme position than even some Republicans have. To what end? You win no one. You lose a bunch of voters. And you look like a desperate, hateful douchebag.
Josh Turek of Iowa, Democrat, comes out with one of the worst anti-trans ads yet.
Not only is it an anti-sports ad, it proposes a ban on federal funding for gender affirming care. That would hit all medicaid and medicare patients, and any ACA federally-subsidized plans as well.
Horrific.
