Their entire world is built upon a foundation of these kinds of lies.
This morning, a Trump mouthpiece was saying, "It's a good thing the president lowered gasoline prices so much because now they're going back up!"
Trump never lowered gas prices, we all know that. But now it's foundational canon for these mouth-breathers and it becomes logged away in their tiny brains as the true course of events. This false tale will live on in their memories of the Great and Fearless Leader and contribute to his legend.
"...promote things that are explicitly untrue and also pretend that bad things are actually good things..."
This has in fact been (almost the entirety of) the GOP project for decades. From The Republican Noise Machine to Ministry of Truth, chroniclers have written the details, culminating unnaturally naturally in the ascent of Donald Trump--not the party's chosen tool, but the tool who chose the party because on some feral level he grasped that their lying strategy meshed perfectly with his own. You get what you didn't know you were wishing for.
I think I have solved the mystery. Apparently (based on Trump's photo), they sent a WWII era Liberty ship to Greenland. Sadly, the ship immediately ran into a ginormous TSUNAMI and immediately SANK. Sad!
"So, when oil prices rise, we make a lot of money." Who the fuck is "we," motherfucker? And you are no more a savior than I am a bull terrier. Get over your stupid, buffoonish, sociopathic self.
OMG. Iran has ZERO intention of destroying the Middle East OR the world. They just want nuclear weapons so America and Israel will stop fucking with them. They are strictly DEFENSIVE, not offensive. Trump is SO full of shit.
Killer Kennedy's "cull the herd" strategy in action...
A staggering number of Americans are skipping meals in order to pay healthcare costs as prices rise under Donald Trump, according to a new survey.
The survey by the West Health–Gallup Center on Healthcare, conducted from June to August 2025, revealed that 11 percent of Americans, or 28 million people, said they had skipped a meal to pay for healthcare in the last 12 months.
Among Americans with health insurance, 9 percent said they had skipped a meal. Among Americans without insurance, that number jumped to 27 percent.
Overall, roughly one in three Americans—about 82 million people—are cutting back on basic expenses to cover healthcare costs, driving less to save on gas or cutting back on utilities.
That includes 29 percent of insured Americans and 62 percent of Americans without health insurance.
More than half of adults in households earning under $24,000 report making daily sacrifices, such as cutting meals or other expenses, to cover healthcare. Even among higher earners, millions report similar trade-offs.
Those in poor or fair health are hit hardest, with 62 percent of those in poor health saying they make everyday sacrifices, and 47 percent of those in fair health.
A recent poll by the health policy organization KFF found that healthcare costs now top public economic concerns, ahead of food, gas, and utilities.
Meanwhile, millions of Americans are bracing for sharply higher health insurance costs after enhanced Affordable Care Act premium tax credits expired at the end of 2025. These temporary subsidies, first expanded under the American Rescue Plan Act and extended through 2025, helped cap marketplace premiums at no more than 8.5 percent of income for many enrollees.
It is a well-established principle in American politics that nothing changes until enough people have died. Maybe as a result of what is reported above, we will finally get some kind of sane health-insurance system.
This is purely anecdotal but I work at a VA hospital/ we are seeing more new patients to the system and have significantly more patients signing up for surgeries that are usually well covered under private insurance. I suspect among the insured patients, copays are rising and they are choosing to come to the VA where they might have gone local in the community prior
Patriot missiles are defensive; they shoot down other airborne threats like military aircraft or other missiles.
Also, the Patriot missile batteries in Ukraine are operated by Ukrainians -- Biden had put some Ukrainian units through the training back when he was president. Point is, it's not like the US Army is going to go into Ukraine and take back the missiles that they gave them. They just won't send them any more missiles, but we already haven't been helping Ukraine since Trump became president.
There's also the slight issue that the USNS Mercy is about to get (or maybe is already getting) a major overhaul and will be out of service for an extended period. Maybe we could airdrop a pack of bandages and Tylenol on Greenland instead. Oh, and send them an incomprehensible bill for $43,976.22 afterward.
The Mercy left dry dock last month and is currently off the west coast of Mexico. That aside, they were never going to send that ship to Greenland as its hull isn't ice-rated. Its sister ship, Comfort, is still in dry dock for maintenance.
Does the phrase "in dry dock with the minesweepers" ring any bells?

Damn, another opportunity missed for felon-47 to show a "Christian Nationalist" he was. Oh well, better luck next time.
Gotta give those “Christian’s” high marks for constantly somehow justifying “bearing false witness”. They can lie like nobody’s business!
Also those hospital ships are specifically designed to cater to trauma victims. You know, the kind you find in war zones.
"He also suggested that Trump talk to Greenland directly instead of 'just coming up with more or less random outbursts on social media.'"
Zing!
President Pedophile of the FIFA prizes was asked by some Moonie stooge if Donvict was still pining for a Nobel Peace Prize.
Piggy responded, “I don't know," then continued to sulk, “I'm not interested in it."
Petulant and senile
Certainly not interested in him at all.
Sulk, LOL

Low energy.

There's got to be a morning after ....
Oh god. I remember that movie.
What I heard is that Democrats are running a child sex-trafficking ring out of the basement of that medical ship.
Trump brags about the oil companies making more money as Americans pay more at the pump.

So different from the usual screams of outrage if gas rises under a democratic president
HEY THE PRESS
Gonna mention that?

Keep that line up Don. Americans are famously chill regarding gas prices after all.
Every catastrophe has a silver lining!
Who's "we" asshole?
We = Dotard, Dotard Jr and the other one.

One piece of chicken, one piece of broccoli, and one tortilla. There's your government mandated meal, proles.
and just one more thing...
- Columbo
Where can I get a cut of those high end steaks and King Crab?
Notice that Brooke Rollins did not specify what piece of the chicken. He may have been thinking of the tip of the wing.
And my doctor told me not to eat broccoli, on account of the potential for kidney stones (which is something you DO NOT want to happen to you).
Whar Soylent?
This is purely anecdotal but I work at a VA hospital/ we are seeing more new patients to the system and have significantly more patients signing up for surgeries that are usually well covered under private insurance.

Cuttin' down on Carbs (and everything else).
Really grateful that Taco (the musician, not the wannabe strongman) workshopped that instead of going with the above version...
Crab legs too
Garden variety Trumpist scum. Tedious, very tedious.
Here's a pretty big second-order effect of the Iranian War: Every Patriot missile on Earth is now heading to the Middle East.
Ukraine has long since become dependent on a credible Patriot ambush threat to keep the VVS at standoff range. Now Russian aviation flies comfortably.

How will we arm the Shield of the Americas? Will Kristi Noem personally throw exploding dildos from her private jet at enemy targets?
I have several Patriot Missile pins they gave employees when I worked at Raytheon, I went to look for an image and couldn't find one.
The Germans are shipping their PAC-3s to Kyiv.
Pearl Harbor breathes a sigh of relief, for now.
Sadly, a prescient movie.
So America is defended by...?
That offal stench
AI
Prayer????
Well...I have a new 12 gauge shotgun.
Configured for hunting or combat?
Trump. That's good enough. He's smarter than his generals.
I don't know about smarter, but he is definitely
(a) fatter
(b) smellier
(c) uglier
Say, you know who ELSE was "smarter" than his generals?
Well organized militias.
God. God has always been on our side.
Got mittens?
Not that Muslim God.
And Republican lies.
Haven't really since they decommissioned the Nike Hercules sites after the 1972 ABM Treaty.
OT: ...he lied.

I feel so much better.
"Most" "all" and above all, "I think."
“I think”
“I think”
Yet another Trump lie.
No, he doesn't.

Is that you, Rick Scott?
Then another a year from now.
Tylenol? Are we trying to make them autistic?! Transing them with autism? Transtistic? They will never be able to play baseball!
They’ll play in the women’s league.
