I love how right wing American Christianity has basically become β€œWhat if we did The Bible, but only the parts where we get to stone people we don’t like?”

Trump said the US is doing very well militarily, better than anyone could have dreamed. He said he rebuilt the military in his first term and is using it in his second. The so-called β€œPeace President” has also suggested the US could force regime change in Cuba.

Editorial: Kristi Noem is sent packing as homeland security secretary. We’ll celebrate with most of Chicago. The history books will not be kind to Kristi Noem, fired by President Trump after a chaotic, deadly year as homeland secretary.

This incompetent bully is who Trump has nominated to take the place of former Secretary of DHS - Kristi Noem.

It goes without saying, that he will wreak further havoc on the department and shouldn't be confirmed by Congress!!!

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!)

What the fuck is wrong with America. That his approval is anywhere near 40 is madness. He should be closer to 20.

Fuck sake the dems and others are not making the case that he is STEALING democracy from under their noses. In plain sight.

Something must be done.

ICE detain U.S. Army veteranβ€”a 50 year old woman with major health issues.

20 plus armed agents stormed this residential neighborhood to arrest her at gunpoint.

Her crime? Kate just took part in a peaceful protestβ€”evidently her 5 foot tall stature intimidated these agents.

Gas prices spiking RIGHT NOW while 92,000 Americans get the pink slip.

This is Trump's "great again"? πŸ˜‚

War-fueled pump prices screwing over the exact workers he just dumped on the unemployment line.

"The United States Special Envoy for The Shield of the Americas" ... if ever there was a made-up title/position so that someone doesn't loose face – and spill the dirt on Trump, this is it.

Christopher Harborne has cemented Reform’s status as a mo... New political donation rules won’t stop him giving as much as he likes

In the second half of 2025, one man accounted for almost 40% of all money donated to political parties in the UK: a crypto-billionaire who lives in Thailand.

Britain desperately needs to rewrite its party funding rules.

A reminder that the orange felon falsely claimed that Kamala Harris would start many wars if she were President and now he’s bombing Iran, bombing Venezuela, ordering attacks in Nigeria, threatening Greenland, threatening Canada, threatening Mexico and more.

I’ll never regret voting for her.

The morally bankrupt Trump administration has partnered with another morally bankrupt authoritarian to declare an unprovoked war on Iran, already killing scores of civilians.

We need an immediate vote from Congress on a War Powers Resolution. Then articles of impeachment.

Glad you find it funny. A suggestion - if you're after the top job you'll need to be a bit more resilient. NLP training is one thing, but it is very superficial. Superficial people like their unicorns though.
