Trump is a symptom, not the disease. If it wasn’t him it would be someone else with the same narcissistic, populist impulses — because the underlying conditions that created him haven’t changed. The median home in the US is $430,000. You need about $150,000 in income to cover the mortgage and have any discretionary money left. The median salary is $84,000. That’s a $50,000 gap. Fifty years ago 80% of Americans could afford the dream. Today it’s out of reach for at least half the country. When people feel the system is rigged against them and nobody in power is fixing it, they check out. When they check out long enough, someone like Trump comes along and becomes the avatar for all that anger. They adhere to him even when he’s doing the exact opposite of what he promised. The idea that when Trump loses power in 2028 things revert to normal — that’s not going to happen. The conditions that created him will still be there. Until we fix those, we’re just waiting for the next one.

This New York Times piece is worth your time. Here’s what is happening, as simply as I can put it. Back in January, Trump sued the IRS, an agency he controls, demanding $10 billion over the leak of his tax returns a number of years ago. IRS lawyers did their jobs. They wrote a memo laying out the defenses that could beat the suit, including the fact that Trump filed too late. His own lawyer was in court when the leaker pleaded guilty in October 2023, more than two years before Trump sued. The Justice Department never showed up to court. Never argued back. Never used the defenses sitting on their desk. The judge got suspicious and ordered both sides to explain whether they were actually opposing each other or just colluding. The day before that brief was due, Trump dropped the suit. Same day, his Justice Department announced a $1.776 billion taxpayer-funded “anti-weaponization fund.”  Trump gets a formal apology. The IRS agrees to drop any audits of him and his family, even though a 2024 Times report found a loss in an ongoing audit could cost him over $100 million. The acting Attorney General, Trump’s former criminal defense attorney, picks the five commissioners who decide who gets paid. Trump can fire any of them. Proud Boys and Oath Keepers are not ruled out. This is the most corrupt thing I’ve ever seen from an American president. Where in the hell are my Republican colleagues? nytimes.com/2026/05/19/adm…

@newstart_2024 That is the dumbest thing I have seen, heard, read in a while. She doesn’t even make sense.

Whitney Cummings went full honesty mode on Joe Rogan: “I was as liberal as it gets, blue hair, rescue pitbulls, the whole thing. But the hypocrisy finally broke me.” She saw “diversity” become diversity of everything except thought. “My body, my choice”… until it wasn’t. Climate alarmism while living on the coast. The contradictions piled up, and as a comic wired to spot bullshit, she couldn’t ignore them anymore. When any side stops tolerating questions and starts enforcing agreement, it stops being about truth and starts becoming a tribe. That shift affects culture, comedy, and all of us. I respect anyone brave enough to walk away from the script when it no longer makes sense. Whitney’s story feels like a lot of people’s quiet journey these days. What’s one hypocrisy or contradiction that made you start questioning your old beliefs?

Don Lemon: “If Barack Obama had sued his own government, settled with himself in secret, created a billion dollar fund with no congressional oversight to pay his political allies. What if he did that? They would’ve had him in chains before sundown. The National Guard would have been called in. Impeachment articles would have been filed. Can you imagine Fox News?”

I read something like this and I think: Some of us have been so focused on their authoritarianism and abuse of power and lawless that we’ve perhaps neglected to point out the additional fact that these are also just terrible humans—lacking class, grace, kindness or dignity.

If Republicans in Congress can’t afford to feed their families on $174,000 a year. Then it’s time they pulled themselves up by their bootstraps and got a second job. Isn’t that the bullshit, that they tell us?!
