leopards ate my face
Police union that endorsed trump upset he followed through on promises
the next contestants on "the leopard ate my face"
Well, well, well, if it isn’t the consequences of their own endorsements. The National Police Union, which proudly backed Trump, is now condemning him for pardoning Capitol rioters who attacked law enforcement on January 6. Shocking, right? Who could’ve predicted that aligning with someone who thrives on chaos and lawlessness might backfire? It’s a classic case of “we didn’t think the leopards would eat our faces,” but here we are. As they scramble to distance themselves from Trump’s latest move, one can’t help but wonder: was this their first clue, or just the most embarrassing one?

Daniel Ball's one day freedom parade
doofus i. moron
Redefining "swift justice," Daniel Charles Ball, freshly pardoned by President Trump for his January 6 escapades, managed to land himself back behind bars just 24 hours later. Ball, who had been accused of hurling an explosive device at Capitol police, was rearrested on federal weapons charges after authorities discovered a .22 caliber rifle and ammunition at his Florida residence—a big no-no for a convicted felon. It seems that while Trump can wipe the slate clean, he can't stop someone from scribbling all over it again. As the first among 1,500 pardoned individuals to boomerang back into custody, Ball's rapid recidivism serves to remind us we live in the dumbest of timelines.

Trump plans to do away with taxes he doesn't pay anyway
Trump eyeballs a bigmac someone dropped
Leaving actual economists scratching their heads, President Donald Trump has proposed eliminating federal income taxes, suggesting that increased tariffs could fill the revenue gap. Critics argue that this plan could disproportionately burden lower- and middle-income Americans, as tariffs often lead to higher consumer prices. Additionally, experts warn that such a shift could destabilize the economy and strain international trade relations. While the idea of abolishing income tax may sound appealing, the potential consequences of relying solely on tariffs could be far-reaching and complex. Hey, who are we kidding though, it's not like Donald Trump even pays his taxes as it is. Freeloader.

Migrants are skipping shifts out of fears of ice raids - get ready for pricier produce
Migrant workers in a field
In a brilliant display of short-sightedness, potential ICE raids have scared off scores of immigrant farm workers, especially in California's agricultural hubs. With up to 75% of workers in areas like Bakersfield ditching their shifts, the fields are looking emptier than a politician's promise. Considering that immigrant labor made up about 73% of the U.S. agriculture workforce in 2021, this crackdown is poised to disrupt the food supply chain. So, as we bid farewell to affordable avocados and reasonably priced romaine, Americans are about to get a harsh lesson in Economics 101: when labor disappears, prices soar. Who knew that the backbone of our bountiful produce aisles was the very workforce now being targeted?

Debt ceilings for thee not for me
Trump soiling his old man diapers
Pre-inauguration throwback! The self-proclaimed king of “the art of the deal” now wants to eliminate the debt ceiling entirely, because apparently, when you’ve already ballooned the national debt by nearly $8 trillion during your last term, what’s a few more zeros? So much for fiscal conservatism—the party of balanced budgets is now more like the party of “just put it on the tab.” Critics point out that removing the debt ceiling doesn’t fix reckless spending; it just removes the brakes. But hey, why limit yourself when you can run up the credit card and let the next guy worry about it? Responsible governance, Trump-style!

Elon Musk Tweets, Congress Folds, Kids with Cancer Lose
World's richest man singlehandly destroying cancer research funding, look at this fucking moron
Throwback from before the inauguration! Nothing says “billionaire priorities” like a single Elon Musk tweet derailing a government funding bill that included $190 million for pediatric cancer research. In true dystopian fashion, Musk’s public opposition led lawmakers to strip funding for the Gabriella Miller Kids First Research Program, named after a young cancer victim, from the final package. Apparently, helping kids beat cancer just didn’t vibe with the new fiscal mood. Critics are calling it a shameful reminder that, in modern politics, a billionaire’s 280 characters hold more weight than the lives of vulnerable children. Democracy at its finest!

Trump repeals executive order on lowering prescription drug costs
cost of medication can rise
Alarming healthcare advocates, President Donald Trump has revoked several initiatives implemented by the previous administration to reduce prescription drug prices under Medicare and Medicaid. Among the rescinded measures were a $2 copay cap for generic medications and programs designed to lower costs for drugs granted accelerated FDA approval. Additionally, a program intended to assist Medicaid in affording expensive cell and gene therapies has been halted. Critics argue that these rollbacks could lead to increased out-of-pocket expenses for patients and strain public health programs. He's on government healthcare, what does he care?

diversity gets trumped out
Trump signs away diversity, because why not?
In a move that just screams 'unity', the Trump administration has decided to put federal diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) staff on paid leave. Because nothing says 'equality' like axing any programs that might actually promote it. Trump's executive orders accused the Biden administration of encouraging discrimination by, you know, trying to include everyone. In other words, discrimination is bad unless it fits into Trump's dystopian vision of 'making America great again'. Federal employees are now being asked to out any covert DEI activities—because apparently, diversity was the real enemy all along.

trump: because 'law and order' is overrated
Trump, the ultimate defender of 'freedom,' as he pardons those who tried to overthrow the government. Truly inspiring.
In a move that will surely go down as one of the most bold and ethical decisions of his presidency, Donald Trump has generously decided to grant blanket pardons to over 1,500 individuals who participated in the insurrection at the Capitol on January 6. After all, when murderers are walking free (according to Trump), why should seditious conspirators face any consequences? Trump, ever the champion of justice, has also included pardons for leaders of extremist groups like the Proud Boys and Oath Keepers. Because nothing says 'restoring democracy' quite like absolving those who tried to dismantle it. Even some Republicans are raising eyebrows at this move, with Senator Thom Tillis drawing the line at pardoning those who assaulted police officers. But fear not, Trump assures us that the real criminals were pardoned by Biden, who dared to protect congressional staff from politically motivated witch hunts.

trump's version of 'law and order' features open doors for insurrectionists
Nothing screams 'patriotism' like storming the Capitol and getting a pardon for it.
In a move sure to be remembered as a shining example of justice, President Trump has extended his benevolent hand to over 1,500 Jan. 6 defendants, dishing out pardons like they were candy at a Fourth of July parade. In other words, 'reconciliation' now means wiping the slate clean for folks who turned 'peaceful protest' into an episode of American Gladiators with police officers as unwilling contestants.
Jan. 6's very own reality star, Jacob 'QAnon Shaman' Chansley, wasted no time in sharing his gratitude, proclaiming his eagerness to buy more guns—because nothing says 'thanks for the freedom' like rearming. Meanwhile, law enforcement officers who got their 'thanks' through PVC pipes and bear spray are left wondering if their sacrifices were just part of a really bad TV script. But sure, Trump says we're starting a 'process of national reconciliation'—a process where accountability and consequences are clearly optional.

trump tackles diversity, equity, and inclusion—because who needs progress?
Trump's vision of diversity: a room full of carbon copies.
In a bold stroke of presidential 'genius', President Trump kicked off his new term by signing executive orders to eradicate those pesky federal DEI guidelines. After all, nothing screams 'unity' quite like dismantling initiatives aimed at racial equality and LGBTQ rights. Picture Trump at his inaugural podium, promising to end this 'social engineering' nonsense—because anything beyond white male privilege is just too much social work. Ambassador Gina Abercrombie-Winstanley, former head of DEIA at the State Department, calmly dismantled Trump's 'colorblind meritocracy' fantasy, highlighting that merit-based decisions didn't traditionally favor just one homogenous group. But sure, President Trump, let's pretend centuries of systemic bias can be 'out-executived' into oblivion.

Always looking for a way to f*ck people over for money, trump has found another way to do it
The actual place donald trump should be, not the fucking white house
In a move that has reignited debates over the ethics of profiting from incarceration, President Donald Trump has rescinded Executive Order 14006, which previously directed the Department of Justice to phase out the use of privately operated criminal detention facilities. This decision reverses the policy implemented during the Obama administration and reinstated by President Joe Biden in 2021, which aimed to reduce profit-based incentives in the prison system. Critics argue that for-profit prisons have historically been associated with higher rates of violence and substandard conditions compared to publicly operated facilities. The revival of private prison contracts is expected to benefit major corporations in the industry, raising concerns about the influence of profit motives on incarceration policies. Industries that control human lives should never be for profit, because these assholes prove time and time again that they will gladly take the profits and fuck the people.

"pro-life" party clears the way to easier state murders
a visual representation of the "pro life" party's pro life stance
perfectly encapsulating the "pro-life" ethos of his party, Trump has signed an executive order mandating the Attorney General to seek the death penalty whenever possible. Got an undocumented person accused of a crime? Death penalty. A law enforcement officer tragically killed? Death penalty. It’s as if Trump’s approach to “public safety” is to make executions a national pastime. Critics are calling it cruel and discriminatory, while supporters insist it’s about justice—because nothing says “valuing life” like expanding the ways to end it. If irony had a face, it would be this executive order. It's not like we've ever gotten this wrong before, right?

Trump ends discrimination protections after 59 years
Lyndon B. johnson
In a move that rolls back decades of progress, President Donald Trump has terminated Executive Order 11246, a historic directive signed by Lyndon B. Johnson in 1965 to ensure non-discriminatory practices in hiring. For nearly 60 years, this order required federal contractors to promote equal opportunity regardless of race, color, religion, sex, or national origin. Critics argue that its repeal opens the door to workplace discrimination, undermines diversity initiatives, and sends a troubling message about the federal government's commitment to equality. Once a cornerstone of civil rights progress, this protection is now history—leaving many to wonder what comes next.

Trump says ICE can arrest people at churches and schools
ice officer
In a controversial policy shift, President Donald Trump has authorized Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents to conduct arrests in previously protected areas such as churches, schools, and hospitals, urging the agency to use 'common sense' in their operations. This decision reverses a 2011 policy that designated these locations as sensitive, where enforcement actions were generally avoided to ensure access to essential services and maintain community trust. Critics argue that this move could deter individuals from seeking education, medical care, or spiritual support, fearing potential detention or deportation. Advocacy groups express concern that the policy undermines fundamental humanitarian principles and may lead to increased anxiety within immigrant communities.

Trump terminates Boltons security clearance giving Iran the nod
old gop warhawk is being targetted by iran
The petty whiny baby bitch of a president is being a whiny bitch and terminating the security detail of John Bolton, a former national security advisor to the Trump administration, despite credible threats against Bolton's life from Iran. Bolton, who has been under 24-hour protection since December 2021 due to an Iranian assassination plot, expressed disappointment at the decision. The plot, attributed to Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, was reportedly in retaliation for the U.S. killing of Iranian commander Qassem Soleimani. Critics argue that removing Bolton's security detail amid ongoing threats endangers his safety and may embolden hostile actors

Trump clears the way to fire career civil servants that are loyal to the constitution over him
300lb elderly man shits himself
Turning 50,000 federal career civil servants into political appointees is like swapping out your car’s engine for a Twitter poll—it’s a catastrophically bad idea. These roles are meant to be nonpartisan, staffed by experts who keep the government running smoothly regardless of who’s in charge. Politicizing them means putting loyalty above competence and turning vital agencies into extensions of the ruling party’s agenda. Goodbye steady governance, hello chaos and corruption! If you thought bureaucracy was slow now, wait until every decision hinges on who’s wearing the right color tie. This isn’t draining the swamp; it’s flooding it with partisan quicksand.

trump's freedom fiesta: pardons for patriots and sedition enthusiasts
Pro-Trump supporters enjoying their guided tour of the Capitol, complete with flagpole souvenirs and an impromptu session on 'How to Upend Democracy 101.'
In a stunning move that totally doesn't scream 'killing democracy,' President Trump has graciously extended his pardon pen to 1,500 January 6 rioters. Yes, the same folks who thought storming the Capitol was their patriotic duty now get a free pass, courtesy of our dear leader. Because nothing says 'law and order' like forgiving Enrique Tarrio for his 22-year vacay in federal prison and Stewart Rhodes for his 18-year stay. In other words, 'patriots' and 'hostages' (as Trump calls them) can now return to their regularly scheduled programming of, well, whatever they do when they're not plotting 'civil war.' But sure, let's keep pretending this isn't a giant middle finger to justice.
