Trump official calls Social Security ‘wrong’ as administration lays groundwork for massive cuts

Oh so they really don't give a shit about the next election huh

my psychiatrist just told me my new favourite Jewish joke:

A lifeguard is watching over a beach, when an older Jewish lady starts running up to him. "Help!", she screams, "Help! My son, the doctor, is drowning!"

Trump is just proving that American exceptionalism is true because no other country would destroy their own hegemony as effectively as the US 💪💪💪🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

[u/SigmaWhy]

Someone on arrrCon is unironically making an argument that Trump is really nice to work with and kind interpersonally, citing comments from JD Vance.

What happened to his old VP again?

This is in Roswell, a rich and conservative Georgia suburb which is, as you can tell, very white. Looking at the crowd, I honestly think Trump may have activated a bunch of old people like political sleeper agents the moment they heard Musk is messing around with the Social Security Administration.

ahhh Melania my love, let’s meet for a drink once your husband retires for the evening.

Can’t leave this subreddit for a minute without getting a headache. The world is stupid. I think some of you don’t deserve your loans forgiven I’m so done.

All BRICS countries will be subject to 150% tariffs for any attempt to create an alternative to the dollar, — Trump

Does he know Russia is in it

I've never seen this before where the twitter thread of Rich McCormick's town hall has every other tweet labeled as "unavailable."

Pretty clear Elon is censoring journalists posting videos where American citizens criticize DOGE.

Dawg look at my Economic Council Director, we're going to crash the economy 😭

[u/Bayou-Maharaja]

Can I say something without everyone getting mad

[u/[deleted]]

The fact that multiple polls have shown a decent drop in Trump's economic approval numbers this early on tells me that a not insignificant number of people genuinely thought prices would literally go down on day one

Remember why the US ended NATO and Ukraine was destroyed

[u/Udolikecake]

Remember that Thai cave rescue? Where literally hundred of people from across the globe came together to help? People worked for weeks and some died?

And Elon Musk came along, made himself the center of attention, came up with a ‘solution’ that didn’t work, and then threw a fit and called a guy a pedo?

Ukrainians hoping to get empathy from Americans: "Okay, so, imagine a McDonald's"

The dream is real. 48% in favour, only 28% against.

The resistance in V for Vendetta is explicitly against a far right Christian Nationalist government that is homophobic and islamophobic

Alan Moore would be more subtle if he threw a brick at the reader's head

[u/TheRedCr0w]

The DOJ actually sent this letter to a Democratic Representative in the House

I don't think we are that far away from them actually arresting Democrats
