Devoted to my family, democracy, the Cubs, the Beatles and the $2 bill. We can't let this a$$hole beat us.

On Lincoln Ave. in Chicago, the Wild Goose has a raucous crowd watching the USA-Australia WC game. At the German bar down the street a small group of patrons sip beer while watching Bob Ross (photo)
A big chunk of newly applied, and very expensive, paint recently applied to the reflecting pool by the Trump administration, at a cost of more than $14 million, floats to the surface. It’s a metaphor for the incompetence and corruption of this administration.
Supporters of Donald Trump would like to see his picture on a new $250 bill. This would be illegal. But a compromise is proposed in which he would, more appropriately, appear on the three dollar bill. Then he would have to take care of the other part.
Trump threatens Iran with genocide. Again.
Speaking at Davos, Switzerland, Trump tells his audience “if it weren’t for us (the US), you’d all be speaking German now.“ Trump obviously unaware that the primary language spoken in Switzerland is German. #25thAmendmentNow.

This is Trump‘s TruthSocial reaction to the murders of Rob Reiner and his wife. In essence, Trump claims the killings were the result of Reiners attacks on the Trump administration. The president is a monster, a maniac, a complete lunatic.
This is a poster showing speakers set for a coming Turning Point USA event, including Cubs 3rd baseman Matt Shaw. He's next to the incredibly evil Roger Stone, a place no decent person wants to be.
this is a newspaper ad for a hearing center, featuring what looks like a security camera photo of The Who lead singer Roger Daltrey. The question is, did he approve it?
The lead singer of The Who, Roger Daltrey, appears in an ad for a Chicago Hearing Health Center. The witty observation by the poster is that he and the rock star have hearing loss for the same reasons - listening to The Who in live concert.
NYT headline states that sales of Hamburger Helper are rising as Americans try to make their food dollars stretch. The cause: price increases the Trump administration promised to stop but, instead, has been made worse due to tariffs and immigration policies that increase costs for consumers.
Offering a theory that Chris Matthews is back on MSNBC to make Joe Scarborough look less annoying and pompous by comparison
A social media post from Trump blasts the Smithsonian for only talking about the negative aspects of slavery.
