  • The former police officer shared a meme on Facebook about a vigil being held in Tennessee for Kirk.

    “This seems relevant today,” read the meme, which included a photo of Trump and a quote the then-candidate made in 2024 following a shooting at Perry High School in Des Moines, Iowa.

    “We have to get over it,” Trump is quoted as saying in the meme.

    Four officers came to Bushart’s home the next day, arrested him and took him to jail for “threatening mass violence at a school.” Authorities at the time said that the post was understood locally to be a threat to an area school that has a similar name to the one where the 2024 shooting occurred, according to court records.

    “When Mr. Bushart posted the meme, he had no inkling or reason to think that anyone would take it as a threat of violence. And unsurprisingly, defendants … have produced no evidence that any person interpreted the meme as a threat,” the lawsuit states. “In fact, the Perry County School District has no records at all concerning Mr. Bushart or the meme.”

    And there are people in this country who may still see nothing wrong with this, because it involves their dear blameless president.









  • I’m generally annoyed the headline is the least important part of the whole ramble.

    Also:

    "Trump’s Cabinet couldn’t get enough of their leader. Each member took turns to outdo one another with compliments.

    Labor Secretary Lori Chavez-DeRemer took the prize, proudly boasting of unfurling a massive banner on the side of her department’s headquarters featuring the president’s face.

    “Mr. President,” she fawned. “I invite you to see your big, beautiful face on a banner in front of the Department of Labor, because you are really the transformational president of the American worker.”

    We’re in a real good time and place right now aren’t we…






  • On June 2, New York City Council Member Vickie Paladino, a Republican, wrote: “Let’s just talk about how insane it is to elect someone to any major office who hasn’t even been a US citizen for ten years—much less a radical leftist who actually hates everything about the country and is here specifically to undermine everything we’ve ever been about. Deport.”

    Mamdani hit back at Paladino on X, saying: “Like nearly 40% of all New Yorkers, I wasn’t born in this country. I moved here at age 7. It’s my home. And I’m proud to be a citizen, which means standing up for our Constitution. Councilmember Paladino might consider reading it.”

    Great clapback.
