What’s next, indict Lindsay Graham for wearing a shirt that says “6947”?
You don’t seriously think trump would do his part? THAT lazy fuck? He doesn’t do things, things are done for him.
More like Graham’s shirt would say “BOHICA”.
He’d do a 68- do me and I’ll owe you one.

Remember when Trump declared that the Supreme Court were disloyal idiots who brought shame to their families?
'Cause he doesn’t.
Also: I passed the dementia test during all of my three terms
My version: “Anybody running for President or Vice President should be forced to have an x-ray taken of their skull to make sure there is a brain inside of it. Preferably a living brain with moving, circulating blood running through it.”

Whose brain-dead idea was this? (As if I didn’t know already.)
With the limited-edition U.S. passports featuring President Donald Trump’s image rolling out this summer, some are wondering whether it’ll become the default version of the travel document.
The U.S. State Department confirmed to USA TODAY this week that the special passports, which will also include Trump’s signature and the Declaration of Independence, are being issued in honor of America’s 250th anniversary.
“These passports will feature customized artwork and enhanced imagery while maintaining the same security features that make the U.S. passport the most secure documents in the world,” spokesperson Tommy Pigott said.
It’s expected to be released in July in correlation with Trump’s other anniversary-related events .
Only the faithful of the cult can get one though, after making a pilgramage to the felon’s vacation town on the Potomac.
Following the announcement, many people online asked whether they could opt out of the new design when renewing their passports.
The anniversary passports will be available only in person at the Washington Passport Agency for American citizens applying for a new identification document, while supplies last, according to the State Department.
What’s a war criminal going to do when the going gets tough?
The list of controversies surrounding Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth is not short, but near the top is the unusually aggressive purge campaign he’s led at the Pentagon that’s seen a staggering number of U.S. military leaders fired since he took the reins early last year.
Last week, for example, the former Fox News host ousted Navy Secretary John Phelan, which came on the heels of Hegseth also firing Gen. Randy George, the Army’s top officer. Those developments followed the secretary forcing out Col. Dave Butler, which came after he parted ways with three-star Lt. Gen. Joe McGee, which came just two weeks after the public learned about Adm. Alvin Holsey resigning as head of the U.S. Southern Command , reportedly at Hegseth’s request .
This is just a small part of a much longer list , and even some congressional Republicans have mustered the courage to express concern.
During Hegseth’s appearance Wednesday before the House Armed Services Committee, some GOP members made clear that they thought the secretary had simply gone too far . Rep. Don Bacon of Nebraska, for example, said, “I share a bipartisan concern of the firings that we’ve seen at the Pentagon. … I would just point out it may be constitutionally right — you have the constitutional right to do these things — but it doesn’t make it right or wise.”
Other Republicans, including Rep. Austin Scott of Georgia, raised related concerns.
Lie. That’s what he’s going to do.
For his part, the beleaguered secretary had a specific defense, which he appeared to have prepared in advance. “Under Barack Obama, 197 general officers were removed,” Hegseth testified. “So this is not something specific to this administration.”
At first blush, that might seem persuasive. The Trump-era Pentagon purge has appeared dramatic and unprecedented, but if Hegseth’s correct and the Obama administration had a list of similar size, then perhaps the recent firings should be seen as relatively routine?
The problem is that Hegseth, in his sworn testimony, peddled a bogus statistic. The New York Times reported :
The number Mr. Hegseth gave has no basis in fact. It originated with an unsigned 2018 editorial in Investor’s Business Daily, which cites the right-wing news site “Breitbart.com ’s Facebook page” as its source.
Mr. Hegseth’s actions to fire senior military leaders are without precedent in recent decades and have come with little explanation.
Color me unsurprised.
The felon’s puppet in the House has a new excuse to help the felon break the law.
House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., on Thursday said that it is not necessary for Congress to weigh in on the Trump administration’s military action in Iran because the United States is currently “not at war.”
“I don’t think we have an active, kinetic military bombing, firing or anything like that. Right now, we are trying to broker a peace,” Johnson told NBC News in the Capitol. “I would be very reluctant to get in front of the administration in the midst of these very sensitive negotiations, so we’ll have to see how that plays out.”
His comments come as the ongoing military conflict with Iran nears the 60-day mark, a threshold outlined in the 1973 War Powers Resolution, which says that the president has to remove military forces from conflict within 60 days if Congress doesn’t authorize a war before that deadline.
When pressed about the 60-day deadline, which falls on Friday, Johnson specifically said, “We are not at war.”
He went on to say: “We’re policing the Strait of Hormuz and trying to get a peace. The president and the administration are moving as aggressively as possible. There’s nothing Congress can do to move that along any further, so we’ll see how it plays out. That is my position.”
Nah, that’s not your position. Your position is the one you want the country, specifically our military, to take: bend over.
Wow. I’d be awfully careful about what countries I’d travel to if I had to flash one of these things. It’s bad enough having to carry around a regular US passport.

He’s racking up nicknames!
The president’s handling of the Iran war has earned him a humiliating new nickname among Wall Street traders who are questioning his ability to reopen a critical global oil route.
Traders have adopted the term “NACHO,” an acronym for “Not A Chance Hormuz Opens,” according to Bloomberg columnist Javier Blas , who reported Wednesday that a trader disclosed the nickname. It’s a reference to the Strait of Hormuz, a vital waterway through which about a fifth of global oil supplies normally flow.
ICE reinstated agent who shot Good.
Senior Department of Homeland Security officials say the ICE officer linked to the January 7 shooting of Renée Nicole Good has relocated and is handling administrative and investigative duties. According to the PunchUp Substack report on Monday, April 27, ICE officer Jonathan Ross, 43, was identified by officials despite DHS previously declining to release his name. The outlet reports the FBI investigation into Good’s killing has stalled, preventing an ICE internal affairs review.
Next nominee for Surgeon General won’t say children should be vaccinated.
President Trump announced on Thursday that he is nominating Nicole B. Saphier — a Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center doctor and Fox News medical contributor — to serve as U.S. surgeon general after the confirmation of his previous nominee, Casey Means, stalled in the Senate amid questions about her experience and views on vaccines. The position is currently vacant.
During her confirmation hearing in February, Means, a nutrition influencer and ally of Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., would not unequivocally say whether she would encourage Americans to get children vaccinated for measles, the flu or whooping cough. The hearing raised doubts about whether she could garner enough support to advance her nomination.
Hiring only the best as usual - someone with no previous experience in immigration law hired by Trump to…you guessed it - serve as a “temporary” immigration judge, who is a “men’s rights” law attorney, representing real pillars of the community like Roy Moore and Jan. 6 rioters. Some of her quotes in here are, yeah, gross.
What the ever loving FUCK?
She is proof there are self-loathing misogynistic women.
No kidding. These passports should come with a warning “Automatic cavity search during your 18 hour delay at any border”
I don’t know much about drugs but this sounds as it will hurt an enormous amount of people. So par for the course, sadly.

Wow. Transfinite numbers were invented for how much bigotry he can put in such a short statement.
But, hey, it’s not like he even knows where he’s sending the US military to die.
President Donald Trump couldn’t say whether the war he launched against Iran in February would end before the four-year-old Russian war against Ukraine — and even confused the two countries — as he turned an Oval Office meeting to honor the Artemis II lunar mission crew into a wide-ranging media session with reporters.
After a spare, two minutes of remarks to honor the NASA crew that traveled further into space than any humans before — during which Trump, 79, claimed he was physically fit enough to launch into deep space as they did (”Is a president allowed to go up in one of these missions,” he asked NASA administrator Jared Isaacman) — the president immediately began a question-and-answer session that veered from UFOs to a recent conversation with Russian president Vladimir Putin that had focused on the Ukraine and Iran wars.
“I talked about Ukraine, and I talked a little bit about Iran. I talked about few different subjects, mostly about Ukraine, and we had a very good conversation. I think we’re going to come up with a solution relatively quickly,” he said Wednesday.
Trump said Putin would “like to be involved” with resolving Iran’s possession of enriched uranium — something the United States opposes — and remarked that he’d told Putin in turn that he’d prefer he be “involved with ending the war with Ukraine.”
“He doesn’t want to see them have a nuclear weapon either. But I had a long talk with President Putin. I suggested a little bit of a ceasefire. And I think he might do that. He might announce something having to do with that,” Trump said.
But when pressed further on which of the two wars under discussion would end first, the president said he did not know but called the question “interesting.”
“Which war would end first? I don’t know. Maybe they’re on a similar timetable,” he said just before confusing Ukraine with Iran as he repeated his oft-used comments that Tehran is “defeated.”
The felon’s flacks deported someone against a court order. Now they’re making the Keystone Kops look like the RCMP.
The U.S. government had no trouble deporting Lazaro Romero León to Mexico in February, despite a California federal judge’s order that the Cuban national stay in this country.
The problem now, government officials claim, is getting him back.
First, Immigration and Customs Enforcement considered putting Romero León on a plane from the Mexican state of Chiapas to the U.S. But U.S. officials say the Mexican government won’t accept his identification documents to board a flight.
Then, ICE tried to put him on a bus — the $350 ticket was paid by Romero León’s deputy federal public defender. But long before he reached the border, his attorney said, he was pulled off the bus by Mexican authorities for not having sufficient documents and placed into a detention center.
Now, government officials say they’re talking to the Coast Guard about bringing him by boat.
Rememer when the Taliban destroyed ancient monuments? Rip van Simple decided that’s the thing to do in the US.
The rapid expansion of President Donald Trump’s border wall has seen the desecration of a historic 1,000-year-old Native American archeological treasure.
Trump’s One Big Beautiful Bill, signed in July last year, included $46 billion to restart and expand construction of the U.S. and Mexico border wall. That includes a second wall through much of California, Arizona and New Mexico.
However, the aggressive construction, at a rate of three miles of wall erected per week, is not respecting environmental laws, according to a new report by The Washington Post .
Alarming satellite images published by the Post show the fresh damage done to an ancient etching, believed to be at least 1,000 years old, situated in a remote corner of Arizona’s Cabeza Prieta National Wildlife Refuge . The etching in the desert sand is known as an intaglio.
An elder of the Hia-ced O’odham Indigenous people told the Post the irreparable damage to the intaglio occurred last week.
“If someone came to Washington and started destroying all the different sites that people in the United States revere, it’s the same thing for us,” Lorraine Marquez Eiler said.
It’s Soylent Wiggly Green!
While the president continues to wage war on Iran, Health Secretary Robert Kennedy Jr. is waging a war on Jell-O.
Kennedy’s Department of Health and Human Services is threatening to withhold millions of dollars from hospitals and nursing homes that serve Jell-O, fruit juice, and other sugary foods or drinks that don’t adhere to new MAHA dietary guidelines established by the Department of Agriculture last year, CBS News reported.
The health secretary has also floated withholding Medicaid and Medicare payments.
Tacito!
Eric Trump has been quietly scrubbed from the public leadership of a small financial technology company closely tied to his family’s cryptocurrency venture.
As recently as March, the president’s second-oldest son was listed on the leadership page of Alt5 Sigma Corp., a Las Vegas-based firm that shot to national prominence last year after it began stockpiling tokens from World Liberty Financial, the Trump family’s crypto venture.
By last week, though, his name was gone. The move comes as the Trump crypto empire faces mounting legal and financial turmoil.
The company, which announced it would rebrand as AI Financial Corp., has been contacted for comment. A World Liberty spokesman called Eric Trump “a highly visible and active co-founder at World Liberty Financial” but did not address his status at Alt5.

In 2022, conservative influencer Jack Posobiec posted “86 46” on X, using “86” as slang for getting rid of someone and “46” as a reference to then-U.S. President Joe Biden.
Rating:
Rating: True
In April 2026, the Department of Justice announced it had indicted former FBI Director James Comey on charges that he issued a threat to kill or harm the president, stemming from a 2025 Instagram post showing seashells arranged to read “86 47.”
As the news spread, social media users claimed (archived ) the conservative influencer Jack Posobiec had shared a seemingly similar post directed at then-U.S. President Joe Biden in January 2022, allegedly writing “86 46.”
The number 86 is slang for “to get rid of.” Biden was the 46th president of the United States, and Trump’s two nonconsecutive terms mean he is both the 45th and 47th president.
Following Comey’s indictment, the journalist Sam Stein shared Posobiec’s alleged post on X, writing, “hey @DAGToddBlanche i got another hot tip for an indictment for ya.”
