Mom, grandmom, blue dot in a super red CA county, current events/political junkie. Figuring out what to do for my second act. Harsh - but not necessarily wrong - opinions all my own. 🤘🤘
- Bobby Jr., the man who falsely claims childhood vaccines have never been tested against a placebo, while simultaneously bragging about swimming in fecal matter. Bobby Jr. wasn't RFK and Ethel's best work.
- Yeah, no shit. I'm sure they're spinning in their graves.
- Resign now.
- We can only hope. Maybe if his wife stops getting acting roles because of his lack of knowledge-incompetent-dumbassery he will. A man's gotta eat more than roadkill!
- Trump fundraising email: “Please open this if you love me!”
- Just OMFG!!!
- School choice is a scam to funnel taxpayer money to private and religious schools…
- 💯. I work for a county supt. of schools. Charter schools are syphoning tax $$ from public schools; some are not playing by the rules and not accounting for the $$. EVERY KID deserves a well-run, well-staffed, safe and free public school. Full stop. Education is the great equalizer.
- KIM: What in the world happened? Why was the staff cut for the World Trade Center Health Program? RFK Jr: I restored the program KIM: But why was it cut to start with? RFK Jr: It was part of the overall budget cuts
- Translation: He has no fucking idea what you are talking about. Never heard of such a program.
- Homan says he's talked with acting US Attorney Alina Habba about possibly prosecuting Democrats
- Are these idiots really serious?!! FFS!! Is this really what people voted for? Is "owning the libs" really paying off for the MAGA cultists? I guess well find out when they lose their SSA, Medicare/Medicaid and a number of other social safety nets - all in service to the Cult of the Orange Overlord.
- The Founders feared foreign influence over leaders and assumed Congress would jealously guard its prerogatives. And yet the ostensible proponents of originalism look away.
- This picture is what is wrong with congress; a bunch of white dudes only concerned with their reelection, grift and status - constituents be damned!
- Q: “An Emirates-backed firm did a $2 billion deal using your crypto coin…” TRUMP: “Don’t know anything about it.” 🤷🏼♂️ Q: “Schumer’s demanding more info on your ‘Flying Palace’ deal.” ✈️ TRUMP: “He’s a Palestinian.” So incredibly corrupt. #SwampForceOne
- Trump is absolutely trash.
- Clyde’s dad, Tristan, 5, has passed away. He was the sweetest boy. 😢
- 😞
- Hawley uses his questioning time to push RFK Jr to look into further restricting mifepristone
- RFK Jr, no medical education of any kind making medical decisions via cherry picking what fits his view. This man eats roadkill and god knows what else. Sure, he's the one to make medical and pharmaceutical decisions for Americans.
- RFK Jr starts having a tantrum as Chris Murphy details how he lied during his confirmation hearing about his anti-vax views
- I have an autoimmune disorder and asthma. Covid nearly killed me twice, prior to vaccines. Under Trump/Kennedy, many science believing/conspiracy shunning folks will die if another pandemic crops up. Kennedy is a lying sack of conspiratorial shit.
- RFK Jr refuses to recommend people take the measles vaccine, but instead says "there are issues" with it
- Worm-brain with no medical degree or adjacent credentials knows more about vaccines than the researchers, doctors and scientists who developed them - right? FFS!!! This lying sack needs to just go!
- BERNIE SANDERS: Is healthcare a human right? RFK Jr: It's not a right of a kind that we otherwise enshrine in the Constitution ... the objective is to get Americans the level of healthcare they want SANDERS: They don't want the choice to be uninsured or die
- I guess all that Preamble bullshit about providing for the common defense and promoting the general welfare are meaningless unless you have money?
- RFK Jr: The president is not trying to do tax cuts for billionaires. He's trying to have no tax on tips and no tax on overtime SANDERS: $235 billion through the estate tax RFK Jr: How many billionaires do you know that are making overtime?
- Spoken like a Kennedy who has never worked a fucking day in his life.
- When you find a reason to say DEI no matter the subject matter
- Is it wrong that I just loathe is leathered asshat? Bet his dad is spinning in his grave. There is nothing about this wrinkled sack that projects health or wellness. Full stop. HE is a DEI hire for the worst administration in history - even worse than the first, if that's even possible!
- Ahh, yes, the man who brought us “Trump Steaks,” “Trump Vodka,” “Trump University,” and whatever the fuck *these* are can’t be bought, 10/10 no notes
- Why is anyone asking Josh Hawley questions about anyone or anything? He is part of the cult. He's a spineless pansy.
- My suggested answer to these questions is we currently have a president systematically dismantling our constitutional republic, alliances & institutions while committing unprecedented fraud & grift, so I’m not really concerned about an 82 year old retired president right now.
- Same.
- Mike Johnson: "Look, I've been a little busy on reconciliation, so I'm not following all the twists and turns of the Qatar jet. My understanding is it's not a personal gift to the president ... other nations give us gifts all the time ... it's not my lane."
- They should put on their big girl panties and do their damn jobs! Checks and balances exist for a reason!!! END 2/2
- Republican congress members have gone completely noodle! They are lying on their backs - dead bug style - waiting for the remainder of their souls and exposed vital organs to be sacraficed in the name of their cult: Trumpism. What a fucking travesty and dereliction of duties! 1/2
- Man who had a student kidnapped and trafficked because she wrote something he didn't like yuks it up with man who had a journalist dismembered with a hacksaw because he wrote things the man didn't like.
- Two fava beans in a pod.
- Kristi Noem, after receiving an honorary doctorate: “I don’t know how many of you have ever been out driving a vehicle before. You wondered what’s wrong with it, right? It’s jerky. It doesn’t turn right. …It seems like something is broke and then you look down and you have your emergency brake on.”
- Just a vapid shell.
- Started / Going
- Consider the source.
- Trump on the Houthis: "They were shooting down ships. They were shooting at you. They were shooting at Saudi Arabia. We don't want them shooting at Saudi Arabia if that's okay."
- My 10 yo granddaughter is more articulate than this pantload.
- Rep. Ryan Zinke on Qatar gifting Trump a luxury plane: "It must be one heck of a jet ... I understand it went through Pam Bondi. So it's legal. It's ethical."
- I'm pretty sure all kindza shit "went through Pam Bondi;" that does not make it "legal," makes it dubious at best.
- a tired sounding Trump in Saudi Arabia: "Now we're tariffing them. And uhhhhh, it's at a level nobody has seen. It's a level that's making us a very much different country and a very different Republican Party."
- I think the words he is searching for are Fascist Authoritarian Oligarchy to build his personal wealth. 🙄
- “Seltzer has racked up endorsements from nearly two dozen former D.C. Bar presidents. “George Conway … drew national attention to the election … when he posted about the race on Instagram. “‘I'm asking you to vote … against Brad Bondi,’ Conway said. … His video seems to have struck a nerve.”
- D.C. Bar Association race draws outsize attention amid attacks on law firms www.npr.org/2025/05/12/g...
- Keep up the good work, sir!
- Zinke is so deeply corrupt.
- Surprised he didn't show up to the CNN interview on his horse. 🙄 Such a Trumpophite.
- Zinke dismisses ethics concerns about Qatar gifting Trump a luxury jet: "Remember who President Trump is. He's a billionaire businessman from New York. He doesn't sleep in a sleeping bag over night. He says, 'Hey, this is a great plane.'"
- Says the guy who has been investigated for wrongdoing. CANNOT make this shit up! Pot=Kettle.
- A special night at the Movistar Arena in Chile. The Pretenders play in Montevideo, Uruguay tonight! Photo by javieravillaseca -PretendersHQ
- You killed it in Redondo Beach, CA!!! 💙
- this is insane. kfor.com/news/local/h...
- FFS!!! Just absolutely stunning! Maybe next time send in The Keystone Cops or Three Stooges! Law enforcement in this country has become emboldened under the new Diaper Donny regime. Not acceptable!
- Napping around the world with Donald Trump
- Peak fitness, right? 🙄🙄🙄 Just as well, Sleepy Diaper Donny DGAF about information or facts.
- It’s really remarkable how textbook abuser this administration is, particularly when it comes to language.
- And the creepy smile on his face while he spews absolute lies.
- Have any of these lunatics ever actually been to a grocery store?
- No. These asswipes haven't bought their own groceries in decades. They are completely out of touch with their constituents. Remember Geo HW Bush who was fascinated by the scanner when he bought socks?! Good fucking grief!
- The “white genocide” myth began as a far-right conspiracy, but has been gradually mainstreamed through right-wing media, populist rhetoric, and selective focus on farm attacks, stripped of overt white nationalist framing but still rooted in the same distorted narrative.
- The president blatantly lies, and he can, because either way reporters will clean it up, and even cover for him -- like we see today with a prominent reporter refusing to call an openly corrupt act what it is.
- Can you imagine if any other president lied like this? Do go on about how Biden was just completely out of it. I miss Joe Biden - he wasn't in the news every fucking day and was a normal color. He was a man of his word. Diaper Donny needs constant adoration and attention or he will implode. 🙄🙄🙄
- Happy Mother’s Day www.vanityfair.com/news/story/m...
- What a beautifully written - and sad - excerpt from you. That little red head has become an intelligent, thoughtful. beautiful person and writer. Continue. Happy Belated Mother's Day.
- Trump: "We have at least 11 committed, massive car factories that are gonna be built. That are in the process of being built. Some have actually started."
- Um, prolly not.
- Trump: "I'm directing the Dept of Commerce to begin investigations of foreign nations that extort drug companies ... we're gonna tell those countries, like those represented by the EU, that that game is up. Sorry. If they want to get cute, then they don't have to sell cars into the US anymore."
- Is this an SNL cold open?
- RFK Jr: "I'm very very proud of you, Mr President, for your courage. I'll say because I don't want to be crude, your intestinal fortitude. Your stiff of spine [sic]. And your willingness to stand up for the American people."
- Very North Korean. 🙄🙄
- WELKER: Did Elon Musk ask you to cut air traffic controllers directly? DUFFY: We were having a conversation about, who do we preserve? I wanted in those probationary employees to preserve air traffic controllers. We went back and forth.
- 🙄🙄🙄
- All those radical judges appointed by Trump? Is that who Barrasso is criticizing for ruling against the administration? Apparently the point that habeas protects American citizens from being swept up In Trump’s deportations is lost in these folks-or they just don’t care.
- They literally do not care! They've all drunk the Kool-aid.
- "Two current FBI officials said Patel sometimes seemed uninterested and his intelligence briefers are struggling to craft a briefing that captures his attention..." www.nbcnews.com/politics/nat...
- Color me surprised! Who've thought a dude constantly trying to hawk his branded crap while virtue signalling to Diaper Donny wouldn't be a good director for the FBI. Pretty sure ol' Kash thought he'd be leading the Federal Boob Inspectors.
- So Rubio is lying?
- Did his lips move? If so, of course he's lying - it's job security.
- I don't know what is funniest. The fact that their Y axis goes to 120%, them not being able to sort the dates properly, or the approval rating that would make Kim Jong Un blush.
- Fraud!! Obviously dead people are voting.
- It can’t be overstated: Stephen Miller is deeply, deeply disturbed.
- Uh, yeah.
- Look, a $1.5 million a plate dinner for crypto scammers is just the price we have to pay to Make America Great Again.
- Right? It's just the normal grifting.
- Leavitt: "I think it's frankly ridiculous that anyone in this room would even suggest that President Trump is doing anything for his own benefit. He left a life of luxury and a life of running a very successful real estate empire for public service."
- It's really getting a bit North Korean at the "press" briefings. 🙄
- She is on a top rated Fox News show which makes her far more qualified than low level weekend host Pete Hegseth. Checkmate, libs.
- Does she even have a valid law license. 🤔🤔
- What can we do about $90 million jets continuing to fall off carriers into the Red Sea? When are going to get around to that stuff?
- That doesn't explain why Pete Kegstand always looks like quite the dandy.
- Worth reading. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/08/o...
