Desperate men do very desperate things.
The next few weeks the world will witness Donald Trump in all of his horror.
Recently found stuck with magnets to an old refrigerator believed to have been owned by the Trump family in the 1950s.

Too on point not to share. This is great, but too bad the Orange Felon’s enablers won’t let him see it.
This Australian's reply to #Trump's rant about “NATO not being there for America” is perfect.
"Mate. You run a country with 600,000 homeless people sleeping on the street tonight. A country where 40% of adults can't cover a $400 emergency without borrowing money. A country where insulin costs more than a car payment and people are rationing it to survive. A country where medical debt is the number 1 cause of bankruptcy. A country where women are dying in hospital car parks because doctors are too scared of abortion laws to treat a miscarriage.
You lock up more of your own citizens than any nation on earth. More than China. More than Russia. More than North Korea. The land of the free has 2 million people in cages, and a quarter of them haven't even been convicted of anything. They're just too poor to make bail.
Your life expectancy is going backwards. You're the only developed nation where that's happening. Your infant mortality rate is worse than Cuba's. Your kids do active shooter drills between maths and English while you sell the gunmaker's stock to your mates.
Your minimum wage hasn't moved in 15 years. You've got teachers working 2 jobs and veterans sleeping under bridges and you just spent a trillion dollars flattening a country that didn't attack you.
And you’ve got a convicted felon, adjudicating raping, paedophile protecting, porn star shagging insurrectionist running the biggest dumpster fire war campaign since the Taliban thanked you very much for losing again.
And you're calling Greenland poorly run?
Greenland has universal healthcare. Free education. One of the lowest incarceration rates in the world. Nobody goes bankrupt there because they got sick. Nobody dies in a waiting room because their insurance said no.
'NATO wasn't there when we needed them." When exactly was that, champ? September 11? Because NATO invoked Article 5 for the first and only time in history FOR YOU. Soldiers from dozens of countries deployed, fought, bled, and died in Afghanistan FOR YOU. Australia wasn't even in NATO and we still showed up. For 20 years.
And you pulled out at 2am without telling anyone and left them to deal with the mess.
So maybe before you start calling other countries poorly run, have a look at your own backyard, you spray-tanned aluminium siding salesman. The only thing poorly run in this picture is your f----- mouth."

JUST IN: A Trump judicial nominee was asked point blank: is Trump eligible to run for a third term?
Their answer: “I would have to review the actual wording…”
Sen. Chris Coons then asked every nominee in the room to confirm the Constitution bars a third term.
Silence.
Every single one of them refused to say it.
Trump is appointing judges who won’t affirm the 22nd Amendment to his face.
Never stop connecting the dots.

TRUMP'S POLLS ARE COLLAPSING. HIS WAR IS BLEEDING THE TREASURY.
AND NOW HE’S THREATENING TO SHUT DOWN THE GOVERNMENT UNTIL CONGRESS LETS HIM REWRITE WHO GETS TO VOTE.
Donald Trump is refusing to sign any legislation – not infrastructure, not homeland security funding, not anything resembling governance – until Congress passes something called the SAVE America Act.
Cute name.
Here's what it actually does:
Requires documents most Americans don't have to vote.
Flags every voter roll through an immigration database already PROVEN to misidentify citizens.
Threatens election officials with criminal penalties for registration errors.
Millions of married women? Their birth certificates won't match their IDs.
That's not election security. That's a VOTER SUBTRACTION PROGRAM dressed up in patriotic font.
Now let's talk about the timing – because the timing is doing all the confessing.
Trump's approval numbers are cratering. His Iran war is draining the treasury and terrifying voters.
Gas prices are skyrocketing.
Democrats are leading the generic congressional ballot. The House is slipping. Maybe the Senate too.
And when a politician realizes voters are about to fire him, he reaches for the oldest trick in the authoritarian handbook:
If you can't win the voters, eliminate their votes.
Here's the part that should make every American put down their coffee.
Illegal voting in federal elections is already illegal. Documented fraud cases? Vanishingly rare. Pretty much at the same scale as Bigfoot sightings.
But suddenly – right before a midterm – the country needs sweeping new restrictions.
That's not leadership. That's a MOB-BOSS PROTECTION RACKET aimed at the ballot box.
"Nice little democracy you got there. Shame if something happened to it."
Say it so nobody mistakes it for anything else:
THIS ISN'T ELECTION REFORM. IT'S TRUMP TRYING TO STEAL THE NEXT ELECTION BEFORE THE VOTES ARE CAST.
When you can't win the vote, you rig the rules.
When you rig the rules, you don't get to call it democracy.
When you don't call it democracy – that's because it isn't anymore.
…
If you believe elections should be decided by voters and not by whoever controls the ballot application form, please repost/share this. The 2026 midterms are closer than people think, and silence right now is exactly what this strategy is counting on.

LET’S KEEP THIS GOING:
The President of the United States is a pedophile. He was involved in the largest sex trafficking ring in human history. Trump’s name has been mentioned in the Epstein files about a million fucking times. WE ARE NOT MOVING ON FROM THIS.

I spent the morning at the DOJ looking at the unredacted Epstein files. Here are my initial thoughts and what I’ve found, so far.

BREAKING: PRAYER BREAKFAST AMBUSH — Democratic congressman calls out Trump’s moral failings right to his face.
At the National Prayer Breakfast, Rep. Jonathan Jackson (D-IL) did something Washington almost never sees anymore: he told the truth — in a prayer — while standing just feet away from Donald Trump.
And it was brutal
With Trump looming behind him, eyes cast downward, Jackson calmly asked God to do what Trump apparently cannot: grow a conscience.
“Today we remind him that the lives of millions of people are in his hands and that he has the power to turn mourning into dancing or to reduce the country into cosmic elegy of chaos and suffering,” Jackson intoned. “And it is because of this that we pray that the best of this president would rise among us for the sake of this nation, for the sake of this world, we pray that goodness and mercy would announce themselves in his life in new and powerful ways."
He prayed that the president would be “mindful of the poor,” focused on alleviating suffering in the Midwest, and remember that families in places like Minneapolis are burying loved ones — not looking for culture wars.
Essentially Rep, Jackson said that this presidency is failing real people, but he got to say it directly in front of the person who most needs to hear it.
Jackson, the son of civil rights icon Jesse Jackson, invoked Matthew 25 — the passage where faith is measured by how we treat “the least of these.” It was a not-so-subtle reminder that compassion isn’t “wokeness,” it’s Christianity. And that hoarding power while people suffer isn’t strength — it’s moral rot.
“Many people are not lazy,” Jackson prayed. “Many people are simply tired. Many people simply are not okay.”
That line hit like a thunderclap.
The room erupted in applause. Online, progressives and faith leaders alike praised Jackson for speaking truth to power in the tradition of Martin Luther King, Jr. — who, as many were quick to note, is literally Jackson’s godfather. Courage, as one commentator put it, is contagious.
Others joked darkly that Jackson should expect retaliation. “Somebody’s about to get audited,” one person quipped — because under Trump, even prayer can be treated as an act of rebellion.
And that’s the most damning part of all.
When a call for compassion, dignity, and shared humanity is instantly recognized as a direct attack on Trump and the GOP, it tells you everything you need to know about what they stand for now.
Jonathan Jackson didn’t shout. He didn’t insult. He didn’t grandstand. He just prayed.
And in doing so, he exposed the emptiness at the heart of Trump’s so-called values — right there at the breakfast table.

'The Bad Seed' is a 1956 film about an eight year old girl named Rhoda who kills a classmate to get a penmanship medal she covets and didn't earn. It's an incredible study of sociopathy and the nature of evil.

It was just announced by the board that the Terrace Theater at the Kennedy Center will be renamed the 'Adolf Eichmann Theater for the Performing Arts' as soon as they can get some signs printed up. The innagural performance will be Kari Lake speaking in Charlie Kirk's memory.
