Do you guys remember when we toppled the Venezuela regime a couple months ago and they told us we were getting their massive oil reserves? Then gas shot up to 4/5$ and no one is asking where the Venezuelan oil is? Just lmao.

🚨HOLY GASLIGHTING: Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy JUST LIED to the American people saying fuel prices are " “in a good place" and actually encouraged “all Americans to take a road trip.” Do they think their supporters are stupid?

Hegseth has fired several top military generals and commanders, including the secretary of the Navy and now you have Kid Rock addressing Pentagon officials on the Strait of Hormuz. If you’re still not sure the USA has reached shithole country status, here you go.

Pay attention to what is happening at the Department of Justice. The New York Times reported today that Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche is moving forward with investigations and prosecutions against five people. Here are the five.🧵

“As of today, I no longer consider myself a Catholic” Fox News’ Sean Hannity makes it pretty clear: Trump comes before everything, even over his religion. It’s a cult.

In his second administration, President Trump’s family, including his son-in-law Jared Kushner and sons Eric and Don Jr., are expanding their business ventures, earning hundreds of millions of dollars and prompting fresh concerns about influence peddling and conflicts of interest. @ElizLanders reports.

With all due respect to the Office of the President, this post contains several claims that are factually inaccurate and theologically misguided, and as a Catholic I feel compelled to respond. 1. The Pope was not elected to please any president. Pope Leo XIV was elected by 133 cardinals from across the world in a sacred conclave, on the fourth ballot, on May 8, 2025.  The Holy Spirit guides the conclave, not American politics. To suggest that “if I wasn’t in the White House, Leo wouldn’t be in the Vatican”  is not only historically ignorant but theologically offensive to every Catholic on earth. 2. He was not an unknown outsider. Pope Leo XIV served as Prefect of the Dicastery for Bishops under Pope Francis, one of the most powerful roles in the Vatican, responsible for selecting bishops for dioceses worldwide.  He was one of the most qualified candidates in the College of Cardinals. 3. He is deeply rooted in service, not politics. An Augustinian missionary who worked for decades in Peru, Pope Leo XIV dedicated his life to the poor and the Gospel long before any political figure noticed him.  His name honors Leo XIII, the Pope who championed workers’ rights and the poor during the Industrial Revolution, a tradition of Catholic Social Teaching that predates any modern political party. 4. The Pope’s role is prophetic, not partisan. When the Pope speaks on peace, nuclear weapons, immigration, or the dignity of nations, he is fulfilling the mission of Christ, not opposing any government. His first words as Pope were “Peace be with you all,”  echoing the Risen Christ (John 20:19). A Pope who is silent on injustice would be failing his divine mandate. 5. Demanding a Pope “get in line” with a president contradicts 2,000 years of Church history. From St. Peter before Nero, to St. Thomas More before Henry VIII, to John Paul II before Soviet communism, the Church has never existed to validate earthly power. “We must obey God rather than men.” (Acts 5:29) As Catholics, we pray for all leaders, including President Trump. But we stand firmly with our Holy Father. Habemus Papam. And he answers to God alone.

🚨 The Pentagon summoned the Pope’s ambassador to a closed-door meeting and threatened him. Named official. On record. Undersecretary of Defense Elbridge Colby called Cardinal Christophe Pierre to the Pentagon and delivered this message: “The United States has the military power to do whatever it wants in the world. The Catholic Church had better take its side.” Then a U.S. official invoked the Avignon Papacy — the 14th century moment when the French monarchy used military force to physically remove the Pope from Rome and bend the Church to its will. The Vatican understood the reference immediately. The Pope’s planned visit to America for the 250th anniversary celebration was cancelled. And then something remarkable happened. The Pope didn’t retreat. He pressed harder. He called the war unjust. He called Trump’s threats unacceptable. He told Americans to call Congress.

Serious question for MAGA: when you see Trump dancing around with a sword at some weird military ball, do you honestly think that looks cool, sane, or presidential? Represents making your life good in any way? 🤨⚔️ Like… did this happen at your 5th birthday party after your drunk uncle found the costume bin? 🎂🍻💀 And you watch that and say, “Hell yeah, that’s my guy”? What does make you cringe? #Trump #MAGA #Politics #Cringe

What a fucking embarrassment. American troops are being sent into harm’s way in Iran and this fucking idiot is doing his double jerkoff dance while waving a sword, like a drunk uncle at a wedding. This is who has the nuclear codes. America is a parody.

Hey MAGA: this dancing fuck promised you no more wars. One year later we’re at war. 13 US soldiers killed. Oil skyrocketing. Gas up .65 cents/gallon. Inflation rising, grocery prices rising. And he’s fucking DANCING. Is THIS what you voted for??

Pete Hegseth is becoming the face of the Iran war. And not in a good way. His delivery style is a cross between a fired candidate from The Apprentice and a high school Jock. The fact that he’s the Secretary of State for War is absolutely mind blowing.

@glenn_tunes I no longer recognize my country. We're living in a nightmare fueled by greed, sex crimes, toxic masculinity, false patriotism, white Christian nationalism, death of science and common sense.
