Don't tell me this wasn't the plan all along: ▪︎ Levy tariffs he knows are unconstitutional ▪︎ Corporations go along with it ▪︎ Promise consumers a payday ▪︎ SCOTUS strikes down tariffs ▪︎ Corporations get payday ▪︎ Consumers get squat ▪︎ Lather rinse repeat with a different law (Graphics credit: MS NOW)
John Cornyn (R-TX): There's nothing we could do to rein in Donald Trump. Here's a suggestion: Go reclaim your forfeited spine, stand up for yourself, and put the toddler tyrant in time out. It shouldn't be at all difficult if you're willing to prioritize the Constitution over your personal gain.
tRump: "It's called TALENT, and I have it, and they don't!" Ladies and gentlemen, this is Talent, discreetly dropping a new ball for the man who cheats at everything.
After several years of failed vegetable gardens thanks to ravenous hornworms, then irrigation issues, deficient soil next, and ultimately, lack of motivation, yesterday's harvest feels pretty impressive. Finally!
Doesn't he have something more, oh I don't know...PRESIDENTIAL to do today? Dealing with the escalating costs of pretty much everything comes to mind. And aren't we in an "excursion" with Iran right now? Honestly, you'd think there could be more productive ways for him to earn his keep.
I'm not saying this isn't AI, but the newspaper is legit today's Washington Post sports page. It could've been added to an old photo pretty easily. Beshears needs to go pay McConnell a visit at the rehab facility.
Say what you will about his passing, but his power of prophesy was on point. It's a shame he chose to enable its fulfillment.
The White House is the people's house, NOT the president's house. Without our permission, he defaced the Oval Office, Lincoln's bathroom, and the East Wing, sent us the bill, and set his sights on the columns. What landlord allows a tenant to treat rented property like this? It's time we evict him.
In case you've forgotten what the President of the United States should sound like.
America's 250th should be: •Red White & Blue festivities, not red vs blue friction. •Where we all come together, not where all aren't welcome. •Celebrating "one nation," not one man's self-glorification. •Nonpartisan revelry, not a political rally. So forgive me if I'm not in a celebrating mood.
Not only did he not drain the swamp, he created a new one. And it only cost the American taxpayers $14.6 million to do it.
As if we should feel sorry for him missing a few parties rather than the millions missing their loved ones because he threw their lives into the wood chipper.
Yes, this is the same guy who cut federal foreign aid and health research essential for keeping human beings alive. Yes, he could now singlehandedly fund all those programs with $770 Billion to spare. No, he would never so don't even ask.
Jane Yolen was a legend in her own time. Prolific and brilliant. She will be deeply missed. 😢
Commemorating D-Day, when US soldiers stormed the beach at Normandy to take on a fascist regime in Germany. Pretty wild to think that being anti-fascist is no longer patriotic. Instead, it's a slur.
I wonder if the dear leader knows what led to the fall of the empire on the left (photo credit: Bill Montei). Because the regime on the right is following the same path.
