Harbinger Of Mundane

Donald Trump loudly and publicly demanding to be allowed to pick the next leader of Iran is so so so insanely stupid and humiliating

Himes: I have a theory on how this ends…

You’re going to see oil go across $100… Projections for economic growth are going to go down.

And at some point in 3-5 weeks, the president is going to say this is really not tenable. And he’s going to declare victory and walk away.

Oil up by $12 a barrel in less than 12 hours.

Gas prices skyrocketing.

Almost 100,000 jobs lost last month.

Another war in the Middle East.

Are we great again yet?

Seems less than ideal.

DHS nominee Markwayne Mullin is one of the most active stock-traders in the Senate — and violated the STOCK Act against insider trading as recently as last August.

He currently holds stock in L3Harris, which has millions in contracts with ICE and FEMA.

The grift continues.

Holy crap, the latest released Epstein files are horrific. This man should be in prison, not the White House.

trump's fucking up the economy and international relations but at least he isn't protecting a bunch of pedophiles

Leavitt: "The overall mission in this operation is to ensure that Iran can never again possess a nuclear weapon. That was the real imminent threat that was posed by Iran." (Iran never had a nuclear weapon!)

Of -ourse- the mfer who once tried to tell me that Elon musk “came from almost nothing” is also behind imperialist war in Iran

1984 was meant to be a warning, not a damn instruction manual.

The ironic thing about the right-wingers who love to quote Orwell are the ones who are doing the exact shit that he warned everyone about.

I still remember screwing up on my first day at McDonald's. I thought that the ketchup went on the hamburger. Fortunately a kind coworker told me how to smear it all over the bun and the wrapper.

Senator Mullin on January 6th

The essential, and much under appreciated, juxtaposition from today's news.

I’m shocked…

We don’t have to trust our guts anymore, the numbers prove Trump is the worst president in history. It’s a fact.

“A country that can instantly fund endless wars but debates every dime for healthcare and education doesn't have a budget issue--it has a values issue."

A billion dollars a day going towards the war in Iran so far.

The nationwide average of gas prices is up $.42 cents from a month ago according to AAA.

Are we “great” yet?

Look, it's just purely a coincidence that Donald Trump started a war just days before the release of FBI 302s of interviews of a victims claiming he raped her when she was 13 years old.

Kristi Noem gave a $143 million dollar contract to a company that was incorporated 8 days before the contract was signed, has no physical address and no email address, and had never done work for the government before.

Kristi Noem shouldn't be reassigned, she should be in prison for fraud.

So immigrants were “taking our jobs”…

but now fewer immigrants means fewer jobs?

The math on their propaganda never works.

Trump says he wants to pick the new Iranian leader. Why on earth would the Iranian people want a leader that was picked by pedophile Trump? How is this good for the Iranian people? Why would they want to be a puppet state?

No wonder we’re in the shit.

The golden age…

Every Republican president the past 40 years has taken us into war and put us into recession.

The Republican urgency to rig this fall’s election just went into overdrive

they funneled it all to themselves and Trump

92,000 jobs gone in a single month and the people who spent years screaming about “Biden’s economy” are suddenly very quiet. No pandemic. Just the consequences of reckless leadership.

CSPAN @cspan . @SpeakerJohnson after House blocked War Powers Resolution: "We're not at war, we have no intention at being at war. The president and the Department of Defense have made it very clear, this is a limited operation."

Darkly funny he had enough self-awareness to revert to "Department of Defense" here.

Republicans love to call themselves the party of law, but reality suggests otherwise. Truth is they expect Democrats to obey the law while Republicans are exempt.
