GOP megabill’s final score: $3.4T in red ink and 10 million kicked off health insurance, CBO says The package President Donald Trump signed on July 4 would grow the deficit over the next 10 years, Congress’ nonpartisan scorekeeper predicts. These assholes are cruel. They can believe whatever they want about Epstein and Q. But it ain't gonna change $3.4 trillion in yet more debt to suck off Elon Musk. Ugh! 10 million people will lose health care thanks to Trump wanting to enrich himself and his family and his donors. What cruel assholes! Epstein will be the least of their problems. People understand cruelty when they see it. The true Trum…

We have a new FBI director here in the USA and it has long been said that once he is confirmed the Epstein list of clients would be released to the American public. So the countdown begins and we will see if this will be a promise kept. 🤔

The grifting Trump family is profiting from the losing war Trump started with Iran. The longer the war goes on, the more Americans that die, the more the Middle East is at risk, and the more people all over the world have to pay more for gas and food and fertilizer, the more money the Trump family makes. Maybe Trump isn't such a strategic moron after all. Maybe he just figured out how war and death and misery can be a new profit center for Trump Grift. If Trump War Grift is not a crime, it ought to be. I suggest we hand Trump War Grift sons Donald, Jr. and Eric over to Iran in exchange for peace. The Genocide Jew and Trump, Sr. obviously bel…

Why is the Lindsay Clancy verdict so politicized? Both the OJ Simpson and the Casey Anthony verdicts were controversial, but neither were framed in a political context. Is this just a sign of the times we're living in? Or, is this just another opportunity to blame liberals and to rile up MAGA?

If he resigns his Senate seat would he continue to be covered by his public health insurance?

$5000? I'm still waiting for my $2000 tariff rebate check that Trump also promised. If you believe that, I have a Brooklyn Bridge to sell you. Bucknaway???

She is sporting that gold cross to ward off vampires.

Sure. I'd step inside with him. Oops! Democrats need BTE. Big Tent Energy. Elissa Slotkin has BTE. The outgoing more centrist types like Sen. Peters and Gov. Whitmer weighed in for Haley Stevens. But Slotkin kept her mouth shut. She is a proven BTE type. Because she had to be to win her House district for several cycles. Which a Republican then won in 2024, when she won her narrow Senate race. The progressives got their preferred candidate, Sunrise Movement co-founder William Lawrence, for her old House seat. So she will have to do some heavy lifting this fall putting the embrace of a moderate Democrat on two clearly lefty candi…

I wonder if donOLD has already pardoned everyone in his administration and just not made it public. He could wait until near the end of his term, but he could kick the bucket suddenly and at any time. If they're smart, anyone in his administration should require a pardon immediately. They don't want him to die before he issues pardons for them. Without a pardon, some of them might have some criminal liability.

First it was the grift of a $25,000 ticket to be paid by GOP Members of Congress. Now it's the sudden "scheduling conflicts" by GOP elected members who are in non-ultra red districts. The organizers might have to bring in Kid Rock to boost attendance numbers.

The Republican candidates running for office this year in south Florida are touting a campaign promise of making things more affordable, yet they also promote their support for donOLD and MAGA. They either refuse to answer or they offer a bigly word salad when asked how the tariffs they support are lowering the cost of living for their (potential) constituents.

The Great Incompetent's latest attempt to distract from his new forever war with Iran, higher inflation than when he took office, the Epstein files that he's mentioned in thousands of time, the job losses across American in manufacturing since he took office etc. etc. has fallen flat. it's as flat as his little flaccid mushroom headed micro penis. Small hands and SDE from the White House regime. Sad!

The cage match is on for tickets to Trump’s UFC fight at the White House Some 4,000-plus spectators who are lucky enough, cunning enough or rich enough will score a seat to the fight on the South Lawn next month. As something of a professional Republican, April Melton has attended her fair share of ho-hum events in the nation’s capital. But there’s one coming up that the chair of the Black Hawk County, Iowa, GOP is dying to see up close: an Ultimate Fighting Championship extravaganza on the South Lawn of the White House next month.

Last three Democratic presidents there were 80 million net jobs added to the economy. Under the last two Republican presidents there were 1 million net jobs created. If you hate job creation and a growing economy for non-Wall Street, vote Republican.

We have posters with right-wing extremist views. Maybe they're real people, maybe they are bots. Who knows? Some IT guy can investigate. A deluge of emotional support Tik Tok clips for snowflake right-wing conspiracies. It's tedious, it's boring. It's sad. Debate based on facts and consistency is useful across the political divide, left or right or center. Bring on your consistency. Bring on your facts. Question for the moderators: Can the timelines of the threads be flipped so the most recent ones are on top and not seven pages back to see something current? Thanks.

I saw this and had to share 865e1ba864ce44f867fcf77ba12cd862.mp4

In today's world everything seems to be centered around politics. It would be great to have thread that just keeps us informed. 9b71795a1a9267d6326602b59d97897c.mp4

Self-mutilation and crystal meth: The ‘Chad mindset’ enticing Maga’s young men Extreme male grooming influencers enlisted in far-Right’s war with ‘fat subhuman’ JD Vance https://www.telegraph.co.uk/us/news/2026/01/12/self-mutilation-crystal-meth-chad-mindset-young-maga-men/

Maybe it's because I'm weary of all the lies 24/7, but I could see myself voting for Jack Smith for President. His regard for the facts, clear thinking, and pursuit of the truth seems like a much-needed antidote to the gaslighting we've endured for the past decade. As far as I know, he's not interested in politics and has never said whether he thinks of himself as a Republican or Democrat. A candidate's compassion is at least 80% of my voting decision and I don't know where he stands on the distribution of wealth between the 1% and the 99%. But one thing I'm sure of is that he'd tell me where he stands and why. My fantasy also extends to him running as an Ind…

"Netflix wasted no time ordering a documentary detailing the president’s humiliating summer escape in a catering container," reported The Daily Beast's Meera Navlakha on Tuesday. "The streaming service has fast-tracked a full documentary about the ruse. In July, Trump, 80, used an aircraft catering cart to escape an alleged Iranian assassination ploy while in Turkey. After hiding away in the cart, he was secretly placed onto a decoy plane, as revealed in a bombshell report from The Washington Post published August 10." The Daily Beast added, "Just a few weeks later, the great escape will be memorialized in Instadocs: The Decoy Plane, hitting Netflix on September 4. A…

Ha ha. Just kidding. America gets war, death, a ballooning budget deficit, and a fancy new Trump Ballroom. And a lucky few Americans might be paid pretty well to be boots on the ground in Iran, once the lunatics realize the strategy they don't have has failed. Can Trump avoid ‘magical thinking’ on Iran? Sorry. But that's a hard no!

Trump’s repeated assertion that he can “do whatever he wants” shows that it is the US, that needs regime change more than any of these other countries he’s picking on. Trump Says He Will Have the ‘Honor’ of ‘Taking Cuba’ President Trump’s words came amid a nationwide blackout and as a top Cuban official said his country would move to open the economy to foreign investors.
