Kristi Noem before and after her MAGA plastic surgery mistakes
dog this is straight up fucking crazy
Who would have guessed that electing a New York City organized crime boss as President would turn the US into a gangster state?
I was a fool to believe that the Republican Party believed in the Constitution and the rule of law, but they have shown their hand. It was about money and power all along.
Not with that attitude, missy!
I grew up around folks that would make Mississippi mud cake....

NEWSNATION: What will you do to ensure at some point there's an exit strategy in place?
SEN. RON JOHNSON: Well, the greatest restraint on any president is public opinion. President Trump is a peace-monger. I'm not overly concerned about this turning into a long-term engagement
I think the Greens are coming to realise that abolish NATO just isn’t a winning proposition especially at the moment.
when someone asks why collective security pacts exist:
The federal income tax is already quite progressive. This will only fuel conservative talking points about how x% of people don't pay it (which conveniently ignores all the payroll taxes, state & local taxes, etc that everyone pays).
Depleting the Senate is good, I think
NOEM TAKING QUESTIONS - DOES NOT APPEAR TO KNOW SHE WAS FIRED
Quick reminder that everyone already knows her replacement will be as vile and dead inside as she is. It's ok to just...savor these moments. Let yourself have it. Let everyone have it. This is joy, and it doesn't last long. Don't make it shorter.
This is a bad plan, it would give nothing to the bottom 40% while giving the most to people in the 60-80th percentiles of the income distribution.
"Trump has treated the opening week of the war as an improvisational jazz session, riffing on different analyses, strategies, and endgames in conversations with numerous reporters. This is not deliberate strategic ambiguity to throw an adversary off base, but rather a symptom of genuine confusion."😬
I missed the part where the US declared war; this ship has been at an int'l fleet expo in India and was not armed, per the rules; a clear war crime, like the entire campaign against Iran, which violates the UN Charter; every action stemming from a war crime is a war crime
Hey, so, we have some news about something that won't be happening in 2032.
Many people are saying....
Welcome to another day of votes in the NH House, where one of my colleagues was welcomed by a roll of tape in their mailbox this morning, accompanied by a note reading "For your mouth."
So, yeah. Great start to the day.

for a guy who made a living on TV, Pete Hegseth is a remarkably terrible public speaker
you can almost hear his audience cringing here
Sure seems like it would buy a whole lot of everything without killing a whole bunch of everyone if we defunded the military.
Which is not unlike how a very dear friend learned of it (though prolly less literally, I'm guessing?).
This guy unleashed tens of thousands of federal agents to terrorize parents picking their kids up from school.
“It’s ok, the devil said I could do it.”
To the extent I'm aware of it, it's because apparently large swaths of the upper Midwest have the same cultural expectations, which have been relayed by friends over the years.

I worry we'll just get them all slaughtered. Again.
