| second: President Donald Trump calls on the Federal Communications Commission to punish "Meet the Press" host Kristen Welker regarding her coverage of his campaign endorsements ahead of the crucial midterm elections. The president abruptly walked away from a recorded interview with Welker in Wisconsin in June and called her either "crooked or stupid" after she challenged his comments about California election security.

| second: President Donald Trump’s nominee to lead the Food and Drug Administration called on conservatives to create new academic journals and to fund science that would explicitly back right-wing policy goals. Heidi Overton called for new science journals that would be dedicated to “conservative-based” science and described a 20-year vision for changing the infrastructure of funding and research to make it more aligned with conservative policy. This vision included “alternate systems” for publishing research. [go to link] |
| second: The president posted images of White House construction, writing: “Cleaning and Regrouting the Granite, for the first time in 63 years, at the White House North Entrance.”
I’m sure that’s exactly what Americans who can’t afford gas wanted an update on.

| second: Food prices are still high, gas prices are still high. Nothing's better. You don’t see Trump ginning up AI videos of people celebrating the low cost of pantry staples. You don’t see Republican lawmakers on news shows bragging about how successfully they’ve driven down our grocery bills.

| second: In 2024, Trump swore he would be “getting gasoline below $2 a gallon.” Driving down energy prices was a big part of his reelection campaign and the GOP platform. [go to link] |

| second: The Plot to Steal Venezuela’s Oil.
A scam that is both vile and deeply stupid.
For those who need a refresher, in January U.S. forces raided Venezuela and kidnapped Nicolas Maduro, the nation’s brutal, corrupt dictator. Maduro surely deserved his fate. But the Trump administration made no move to help Venezuela’s democratic opposition. Instead, it made a deal with former members of the Maduro cabal, effectively installing a new regime that may well be even more brutal and corrupt than its predecessor. In return, Trump got an agreement — details are scarce — that will allow U.S. oil companies to extract and sell large quantities of Venezuelan oil [go to link] |

6ixStringJack: Goddamnit... Are you okay, Ted. Really asking man. You seemed on a real tear today, which is something you do very infrequently. And I've seen some of your posts that you've bumped and my stupid empathy is kicking in and I'm a little worried about you. Honest. You alright man? Don't let all this bullshit bring you down. I think we've wasted more than enough time on it after all these years. I know you're not really a fag, buddy. Just joshin' ya.  |
| 6ixStringJack: Fags. |

| second: Trump’s logic is that while a trade war will be bad for 340 million Americans, it will be worse on a per capita basis for 40 million Canadians, so at the end of the day the Canadians will cave. Carney’s contrary logic is that this is an existential threat for Canada and basically pointless from an American perspective. His constituents are willing to pay a price to preserve the True North strong and free, while Trump’s constituents are being asked to take further blows on the cost of living to feed the ego of a corrupt psychotic.

| second: “We won,” ?President Donald Trump declared in March, less than two weeks after launching his war of choice against Iran. Claiming that nation was “very much destroyed and, even, obliterated,” Trump had already promised the conflict would bring peace to the region and, somehow, the globe. “The heavy and pinpoint bombing … will continue, uninterrupted … as long as necessary to achieve our objective of PEACE THROUGHOUT THE MIDDLE EAST AND, INDEED, THE WORLD!” Trump wrote. But more than six months and two failed ceasefires later, the floundering conflict sputters along. And you may have noticed that world peace has yet to be announced. [go to link] |

| second: Back in November 2025, Donald Trump promised Americans a $2,000 tariff dividend check that was going to be funded by tariff revenue.
Nine months later, not a single check has gone out. [go to link] But since he makes a hundred promises and new threats of mighty revenge per day, you forget. |
| 6ixStringJack: Choo Choo!!!! |
| second: Trump’s preference for steam catapults on aircraft carriers is longstanding. During his first term, he criticized the electromagnetic launch system in a 2017. Trump orders Navy back to steam catapults in costly carrier reversal that will add billions. Also he wants coal burning locomotives because he loves the sound of a steam whistle. [go to link]
Here comes the Choo Choo train for Donald. [go to link] |
