Song for Trump voters:

Connie Francis singing "Who's Sorry Now."

Right to the end
Just like a friend
I tried to warn you somehow
You had your way
Now you must pay
I'm glad that you're sorry now

When Charlie Kirk died,Trump lowered flags nationwide for him.

6 US soldiers die and not only will he not lower the flags nationwide for them, he just says “some people will die.”

If it’s true that the United States bombed an elementary school and killed scores of children it is an unfathomable crime. I have never been more disgusted to be an American.

Massie on Newsmax: "We're not getting the answers we need from Pam Bondi. I just spent 3 hours at the DOJ this week looking at the unredacted files. And I'm finding evidence of files they haven't released yet." (Note that the Newsmax anchor agrees with him!)

Most of the media is demanding that everybody supports the war effort. Well, sod that. This is an illegal conflict, launched by a decrepit American to distract from his domestic problems, which has already killed hundreds of women and children. I didn’t back the Iraq war in 2003. Nor this one!

This goes beyond politics, and is not even a statement about politics.

Something is wrong with us. This nation is broken on a cultural level. I can't define it, and I don't know how to fix it. But we are tearing ourselves apart. If we don't diagnose and treat that, the rest of it won't matter

She is NOT a stoic. She may be stone-faced, but that’s only because she has no feelings.

Noem is gone none too soon, once again, tRump scrapes the bottom of the barrel for another idiot to replace her.

Are we fucking winning now?

Here's how the story should have been written:
"Despite a strike that killed more than 100 Iranian schoolgirls, PM Mark Carney has endorsed Donald Trump's attack on Iran..."

Once Doug builds the private spa no one asked for, I’m sure people will be keen to book conventions at the new convention centre no one asked for.

Nice analogy

as a constant-yet-fluctuating disaster, which for most people mostly happens in the news, but if you work in a related field it's changed everything, and at any time the effects can randomly devastate someone you know or somewhere you live,

this presidential administration is weirdly like COVID

Pretty difficult to refute a single thing in this perfect assessment of where the f**k we are, from @iandunt.bsky.social:
