Today Donald Trump turns 80 and I am so, so sorry.

We are an embarrassing country.

Commercial advertising, product placements, and corporate-sponsored promotions are explicitly prohibited on national parklands. The White House lawn is a unit of the National Park System. It also violates standard Anti-Vending and Solicitation Laws as well as misuse of public funds and government endorsement ethics. Everything this administration does spits in the face of our laws. Everything is a grift.

Here’s what really happened.

And now get out.

I know this rarely happens but it happens enough to make me never want to go to any theme park again.

Storm what?

What the fuck are we even doing, guys?

kalshi is creating a generation of young gambling addicts and the fact that any politician would be corrupted into protecting it is horrifying to me

When Idiocracy was released 20 years ago, Mike Judge’s vision of America felt absurd. Now, with a UFC arena being built on the White House lawn, corporations wielding unprecedented influence, and anti-intellectualism thriving, the cult comedy feels a little less like satire and a little more like prophecy. consequence.net/2026/05/idio…

Elon continues to falsely call Hitler a “socialist”, and Grok continues to correct him, explaining that Hitler was a fascist who rejected Marxist socialism and class struggle. Never deleting this app!

Tim Dillon on Thomas Massie’s loss: “I don’t know how you run a country where people can just dump $32 million into a race.” “This guy who’s like, release the Epstein files.” “Prosecute pedophiles.” “Get out of foreign wars.” “He loses to a guy who’s like: let’s cover up the Epstein files.” “Let’s not prosecute pedophiles.” “Let’s go to war with your kids.” “You would think just platform to platform, that’s a tough sell.” “If you spend enough money, you can just create any reality you want.” “No one knows who the hell the other guy is.” “He was just handpicked, came out of nowhere … was like, ‘we gotta get kids back into the military, we gotta get them to Iran now.’” “You would think that’s probably not a super popular idea.” “Let’s get your son out of the house and into Iran.” “You would think that as ideas go, that’s probably a relatively hard sell.” @TimJDillon

If you give a politician $5 to influence a vote, it’s bribery. If billionaires spend $50 million to influence an election, it’s legal. That is what a corrupt campaign finance system looks like.

God fucking dammit!
