We're deep into Mad King territory here and yet there will still be people on the Sunday shows today pretending that the president isn't a mentally deranged despot
“Trump on Sunday said in a post on Truth Social that NBC's Kristen Welker will be reported to the FCC for ‘rebuke or punishment’, after he said she reported the Republican President had mixed results in his endorsement of candidates.”
I remember when this would be unthinkable

Trump’s obsession with ripping working electromagnetic catapults out of Navy aircraft carriers and replacing them with steam catapults is BATSHIT.
The ships will have to be completely redesigned around old tech that breaks down more. It will cost BILLIONS. And all because the president is INSANE.

People are going to die because two orange shitheads have feelings about vaccines and don't want to bother asking actual scientists about them:
Trump order aims to cut number of diseases all children should be vaccinated against from 18 to 11
The order reaffirms the dramatic overhaul to the vaccine schedule that Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. announced this year. Those changes have been blocked in court.

Take away the black fish and you get the John Birch Society ca. 1962. Change the label on the black fish to “the Jews” and you get the American Nazi Party or Gerald LK Smith ca. 1962.

Capital One’s lawyers would not have signed-off on closing Trump’s account unless the money laundering evidence was very strong; it would simply be way too much of a legal/reputational risk
🚨 NEWS: In a new court filing, Capital One says Donald Trump’s accounts were closed in 2021 after months of analysis by its anti-money laundering (AML) professionals, not because of politics, as Trump has long claimed. 1/

Considering how badly Covid was mishandled, they're probably going to regret the decision to make Fauci's personal diary and journal public. We're going to see how it was handled from the insider, from Fauci's point of view... based on you know...science.

Hurling F-bombs at an 85-year-old scientist who won’t fight back doesn’t make you tough. Staying silent after your own daughter accused Rep. Max Miller of holding a gun to her head, pushing her against a wall, and fracturing your granddaughter’s collarbone makes you a coward.

We destroyed Irans military then had to go back to fighting the non existent military but had to stop because we were using too many expensive missiles attacking the not-military because we weren’t flying over the country with no military because their non military was still a threat to our planes.

The level of disrespect this regime shows to their fellow Americans reaches a level that’s completely incompatible with democracy. These people literally believe they have the right to kill people who disagree with them. It’s disgusting.

Additionally, it drives me crazy that the default position in this country is that being here undocumented is a crime. It’s not. Further, legal status isn’t a factor in whether someone should be murdered.
It’s impossible to move the debate forward when one side is committed to upholding a disinformation-fueled, dehumanizing false reality that leads to the state-sanctioned street killings of innocent people. There are not two sides to this particular story. Full stop.
