He promised to run the country like he ran his business. It ended with Rudy Giuliani outside Four Season Total Landscaping next to a dildo shop, after a staffer mistakenly thought the empty parking lot was a Four Seasons hotel.

He constantly thinks inside a box labeled "Gift for Vladimir Putin".

Eric Schmitt accused Jack Smith of being a dirtbag for lying about not being at a Hawks game in Atlanta. When evidence showed Smith was at a Hawkeyes game in Maryland, Schmitt continued his lie. The exact thing he accused Smith of doing. I guess that makes Schmitt the dirtbag.

‘We have all the funding we need out of Russia’
Look at this photo we found from Donald Trump Jr.’s lavish Bahamas wedding. Can you spot the Russian oligarch close to Putin who bankrolled the event? 🧵

Reform donor Ben Delo is a convicted money launderer, you say?
Apparently the new Reform mega donor Ben Delo is threatening to sue people who mention his previous conviction tied to money laundering. So best not keep sharing it.

If the Trump economy is doing so well, why does he have to peddle $5,000 in economic relief to Americans?

Trump tried to imprison an innocent man for ten years rather than admit he was wrong.
The contractor that renovated the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool has told the Trump administration that errors in its own work and flaws in the repair plan, not vandalism, caused the pool’s new blue liner to peel and break loose, documents show. nyti.ms/4xSMsu7

Odd how all the people we suspected of working for Russia consistently shill for Russia, isn't it? inved.eu/insight/ai-fabricat…

Meanwhile, at The Oafal Orifice.
Trump: "We're going to be changing the name of Lake Ontario, effective immediately, to Lake America. That's going to take place right now."

People who think “dumb” is spelled without a B are the same people who write “Dumocrats.” It’s what they would call a spelling B.
Trump: "Nobody knows that 'dumb' doesn't have a B" (Dear reader, it has a B)

Odd how every ally of Trump in charge of an Epstein investigation ends up closing down the investigation. A coincidence, surely.
So… CBS News was doing a 60 Minutes investigation into banks that were moving money for Epstein, and as part of that, a CBS correspondent interviewed Sen. Ron Wyden about the banks’ relationships with Epstein. Two months later, CBS fired the correspondent, and neither the interview nor the investigation has aired.

Musk is right that public confidence in journalists is near a historic low, around 43%. But billionaires are even less popular. Only 12% of Americans say they have a positive impact on society. Billionaires owning the media won’t do much to improve either.
Absolute crash out from Musk after he’s presented with the reality that many, many people fucking hate him

Joe Biden eating ice cream is not what's wrong with JD Vance looking at it in "the most suggestive way possible".
Vance muses on Joe Biden eating ice cream: "His staff would get him to eat ice cream in just the most suggestive way possible..."

It’s usually meant as satire, not a leadership philosophy.

There is no ruler in a free world.
Tim Scott: I wish more people in our party realized that President Trump is the ruler of the free world…. Just like Lindsey Graham did.

FIFA corruption has reached the point where even Sepp Blatter thinks it’s gone too far.
Red cards are not overturned by political phone calls. They are overturned by rules, evidence and independent bodies. If a U.S. President intervenes with the FIFA President — and a player is suddenly cleared before a World Cup knockout match — the question is unavoidable: Quo vadis, FIFA? Football must never become a playground for political power. #FIFA #WorldCup #GianniInfantino #DonaldTrump

With the SAVE Act, politicians could start unpopular wars they campaigned against, turn the government against its own citizens, rob America blind, and voters still wouldn’t be able to get rid of them.
Trump: If we terminate the filibuster as we should do, and immediately vote for the Save America Act, then we will not lose an election for 100 years

They are trying to criminalise a random visitor who held a hand in the water for 9 seconds to remove a paint flake. Not the $17 million price-gouging, corrupt contractor who caused the paint-flaking problem, and then made it worse by pouring hydrogen peroxide into the pool.
