I have to admit: I thought my ancestral homeland would win the Olympic hockey gold medal. But the US rallied to win in overtime for just the third time overall and its first since the Miracle on Ice in 1980.

You can't make up how stupid voter ID trolls like Musk are. First of all, payroll taxes are mandatory up to $184.5K of annual income. Second, and Musk can never remember this, first-time voters in every state must provide ID when they register or vote for the first time. pic.twitter.com/lc0Z1wQKIv

CNN has a new low job approval for Trump, about 36% overall, and another 10 points down among independents. He's running out of time to turn his Titanic before hitting this fall's midterm iceberg.

The Trumper tantrum over Trump's fake authority to raise taxes on Americans contradicts his fake populist base. Recall, part of what led to the income tax was a progressive critique of tariffs as regressive, borne by lower-income Americans. Trump's tactics kill US sales. pic.twitter.com/ABmvQ51ibv

U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon, a Trumpkin judicial whore, is attempting to censor Trump's indisputable criminality in the theft and insecure protection of classified documents. Judge Cannon shifted the argument away from Trump's misconduct to Smith.https://t.co/vNdEIUD8k1

Nope. I, unlike Trump, understand the term 'consequential' & I don't know a single professional historian who believes that's true of Trump. I don't speak for his potential assassins, but the dude has probably pissed off more people than almost anyone else in history pic.twitter.com/OM5Z5Hi4jw

The US Olympic Women's gold medal hockey team has declined a SOTU invitation from Trump. However, I'm sure we can get video of Don Rickles calling Trump a hockey puck.

I loved the WWE tribute to AJ Styles near his home base in Georgia, especially his tribute to his wife and kids, the fellow wrestlers send off from the back, and Mark Calaway (Undertaker)'s announcement of his HOF selection.

OMG, Trump is such an insufferable bore, playing the victim card! He claims if he cured cancer (yeah, the same dude who once discussed injecting bleach), TDS losers would bitch how long he took to do it! Poor, poor pitiful me! The dude regularly disparages others (e.g., SCOTUS).
— raguillemette (@raguillemette) February 24, 2026
I don't like Trump shamelessly exploiting the gold medal men's hockey team in his SOTU address. (Personally, I would never go. You couldn't pay me to sit through a long, rambling, narcissistic rant.) I really don't want to hear him again whining about losing "his" Nobel prize!

Bug-eyed Patel managed to schedule a couple of meetings in Italy to rationalize being in attendance for the gold medal hockey finale at taxpayer expense and in the winning lockerroom so Trump could congratulate the team over his speakerphone.

Wow, NXT Zaria's swerve heel turn on tag team partner Sol Ruca in a championship match for the NXT women's title had been teased in recent episodes, but it was still surprising. I had expected it after Ruca won the title.

Just like Trump failed to understand IEEPA, his backup solution of global tariffs using Sec, 122 of 1974 Trade Act is also doomed for conflating the trade deficit with the balance-of-payments deficit. https://t.co/GSGINb8BM0.that.damn.stupid. https://t.co/q8bf1xpHuA

Hell no. Conscription is a form of slavery. I do think a politician who votes to declare war on dubious grounds should face the consequences of his votes in subsequent elections. But the bigger issue is Presidents overextending their limited responsibilities beyond defense. https://t.co/yh5r7UnZb2

I was listening to Trumpkin Byron Donalds on CNN try to scapegoat Dems for inflation, completely ignoring Trump's pandemic spending & $7.8T national debt. Trump's unconstitutional tariff wars have cost each household over $1000, added economic uncertainty & raised business costs.

The Moron-in-Chief tried to gaslight Americans into the voter ID nationalist power grab on fears of unauthorized aliens voting, which is already illegal. The bill actually disenfranchises about 10% of Americans. Registration issues occur due to human error. Via OPB: pic.twitter.com/bDSCIgShT3

I'm ashamed of the bigoted Trump who spews knowing racist lies about aliens as violent criminal dumps from other countries, mentally ill, etc., just fabricated lies. What makes it worse is the xenophobe has had an immigrant mother and wives

Where Biden clearly failed was to plan for the surge of asylum seekers post-Title 42, which quickly outstripped our capacity to handle the flow. He would later take action, which normalized the flow by the time Trump took office. Trump, however, sabotaged immigration reform.

The overt nature of Trump's unprecedented hyperpartisan SOTU address reveals his utter incompetence and lack of political skills with a narrow majority in both chambers of Congress. I don't see him regaining the independent voters he needs to survive the midterms.

Not necessarily. I suspect some of my siblings are Trumpkins; they generally don't talk politics with me and know I don't like Trump. I think most Trumpkins just don't like leftists. I think it's more a matter of background: principled, intelligent people aren't Trumpkins.

Trump has a 42% job approval. Trump's latest SOTU address dropped about 9 million viewers since last year. Many of us who don't support Trump boycotted the speech. All the polls on viewers are based on self-selection bias from Trumpkin Republicans.

Boring people with repetitive rubbish gaslighting is a bug, not a feature. I'm far more articulate than Trump, and the biggest criticism I get is a need for more brevity. Trump just meanders, brags, insults, repeats.

I can think of 200 reasons to impeach the Felon-in-Chief, but not inviting women to a record snoozefest when you spend half the time plotting how to beat half the crowd to the restroom urinal isn't one of them.

I wouldn't normally post about the Sexist-in-Chief on hockey, but apparently, Trump delayed inviting the gold medal women's team to the SOTU, which won 3 days earlier, and they politely declined, explaining scheduling issues. Trump told the men's team he had to invite the ladies.

God, you're a dumbass. Neither the House nor the President has anything to do with the filibuster. It's an internal debate. Granted, a partisan House and White House could take advantage of a mere Senate majority vote. But you have to be more specific in making an argument.

Trump's war crimes against Iran, nondefensive in nature and unprovoked. are impeachable, and Trump must be impeached and removed from office. The military intervention is consequential and requires a Congressional declaration of war, which does not exist.
