US exempts Gulf of Mexico drillers from endangered species rules

www.reuters.com/business/energy/us-may-exempt-gulf-mexico-drillers-protecting-endangered-species-2026-03-31/

Another heart-breaking development from this admin.

I'm legit surprised more species haven't gone extinct under the Trump admin. Like, I wouldn't be surprised if he called for the otter fur trade industry to come back because synthetic materials are suddenly "woke."

Old man says European military allies shouldn’t count on the US for security. Old man starts a war without consulting military allies. Old man demands assistance from European military allies while claiming he needs no outside assistance. Old man suggests he may abandon the war he started, and threatens to leave military alliance after already telling allies not to count on the US for security.

Clearly, the old man is a master strategist.

Old man also showed up to a SCOTUS hearing to try and intimidate them. Old man also angrily walked out half way when he realized his EO can't overturn a Constiutional Amendment. Old man will go off on Truth Social very shortly.

Old man paints Iran as the boogeyman while thanking Israel for support.

Old man will soon thank Russia from saving the world from Communism…

Old man should’ve been strapped to that Artemis core stage that they separated from earlier today

“But…but…but…Dementia Joe.”

Old man probably never passed the cognitive assessment tests he thinks are IQ tests.

I wish old man would get hit in the head by a golf ball and go into a coma, but couch fucker would replace him.

Crazy thing is Couch Fucker would be better because people don’t fear and/or bend the knee to him like they do Cheeto face. More MAGA would be willing to stand up to him.

Downside is, he is 100% going to be doing Peter Thiel’s bidding.

This is unacceptable. The Trump grift makes anyone in congress look like a saint.

Public servants should be like fucking nuns, they had a calling to support their country, they should be comfortable but never wealthy. I'd vote for a redesign of the system that forces anyone who takes a government job at x level or higher is blocked from any advisor, board, or executive job for life. They can only be regular ass employees, unless they run a medical practice.

I know a few diplomats and they used to brag about the shit ass American cars American diplomats used to get around. They compared themselves to Russian diplomats who love their luxury vehicles. The normal car was meant to show we were there to serve our country and foster relations with others, not benefit ourselves from our position.

The overt corruption and manipulation of the market/inside information is sickening. The political economy of America has always been rigged in the sense that class mobility is limited but to see those with access to power make millions in seconds with no thought and no narrative to justify it is sickening. Americans are watching their 401Ks tumble (again), while Trump and his cronies make insane wealth on top of the wealth that would last until the end of human civilization.

I remember sitting in Russia and seeing how the government operated--from the police to the universities to those in the Duma--and I said, "This is America's future. This is what the Republican Party wants." We aren't in the same crony-capitalism/kleptocracy system quite yet, but we are heading down that path quickly. And, with Ellison owning CNN and his son owning TikTok and Sinclair owning so many local stations, we are going to repeat their media landscape, which will make it all the easier. The current grifts are just the start

The "prediction market" bet that Maduro would be ousted (Polymarket allows for anonymous bets via crypto).


Trump Jr. Getting a seat on the board of a prediction market while investing millions in another just as daddy gets to make rules about regulation.



Kushner making billions off his wife's fathers connections

It's the flagrant and out-in-the-open nature of this administrations corruption that really gets to me, it's truly disgusting and pitiful...

This country is beyond cooked...

Old man says it’s not possible for federal government to pay for medicaid, medicare, and child care — it should be the state’s responsibility. Old man the says the federal government needs to focus its money on military protection (aka wars).

(there’s a video clip that the WH posted and immediately took down that’s floating on the interwebs)

But yea, look forward to the old man and his administration to completely gutting health care, ssn, and child subsidies soon just to fund the war.

Lots of soldiers with PTSD from this fight is gonna be dying in the streets in the near future and MAGA will be quick to blame it on Democrats.

Trump is considering firing Pam Bondi over her handling of the Esptein Files -- he's upset she didn't do more to distract and prevent their release.

Can you imagine after what a goon she was, what kind of horrendous shit her replacement will do to please Trump?

She had to turn off the comments because she ended up doing the opposite.

Old man is considering Lee Zeldin, who is administrator of the EPA. He got rid of environmental protections, so he’ll have no trouble doing the same to laws that prosecute pedophiles. It will guarantee that old man can’t be prosecuted for anything while Republicans are in the White House.

[Nom De Plume]

Trump is an old man.

OK, was just checking that the no one thing isn't happening in here too.

Important takeaway: The Pentagon can't account for 63% of 4 FUCKING TRILLION IN ASSETS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

4 FUCKING TRILLION: 4,000,000,000,000.

63% of 4 FUCKING TRILLION: 2,520,000,000,000

2,520,000,000,000 dollars are completely UNACCOUNTED FOR

To put that in perspective:
1 million seconds in days: 11.57 days
1 billion seconds in days: 31 years and 8 months
1 TRILLION FUCKING SECONDS: 31,710 years

Yeah fuck us all. We’ve only been paying into these things for decades. Why should we feel entitled to our money when there’s IMPORTANT THINGS TO SPEND IT ON:

We’d better stop whining for handouts!

[TastyBurrito]

$10 that Trump and Hegseth haven't launched a search and rescue for the pilot that was shot down behind enemy lines.

His attitude and comment towards John McCain's capture and being a POW should be an indicator of how he'll respond: "He's not a war hero. He's a war hero because he was captured. I like people that weren't captured."

Yea, that pilot is fucked.

Not a exaggeration sadly. 

Since Hegseth is a Christian Nationalist nutjob and considers this a holy war he'll probably start the ground invasion on Easter sunday.

I think Kirsti Noem used up the propaganda budget for the year. The video the White House put out to promote the war is, well, wow... I think even middle schoolers would be embarrassed by it. The Mortal Kombat song is bad enough but the "Flawless Victory" at the end of the video is painfully cringy:
https://x.com/WhiteHouse/status/2029741548791853331

The White House needs to hire Iran's AI prompter. He's doing way better job creating propaganda than whoever threw the White House video together.

[Chalupa]

No money for social services like health care for the elderly and low-income tax payers, but endless money to fight wars for Israel and build a bunker for the Epstein class under the White House ballroom.

Where are the “America first” and “reduce the deficit” people? They’re awfully silent.

Basically Trump: Your federal taxes should pay for my wants, not your needs.

He sees the US Treasury as his personal slush fund.

[Chalupa]

I make the mistake of thinking that he can’t get any crazier, but keep getting proven wrong. Even if he didn’t post it, all the people in the White House are batshit insane and need to be long-term patients in psychiatric facilities. They’re the greatest threat to the world.

[TastyBurrito]

For the record, this is from a man who Christians everywhere say he’s God sent and true reflection of Christian values.

[Chalupa]

from Zeteo:

The last paragraph reaffirms my view that politicians in the West love to rape and kill civilians in other countries to steal resources. Iranians who bootlicked for Trump look even more stupid now and are now saying that the government shot 60,000 protesters in two days.

Iran was ready to make a deal in February, but Israel/USA attacked them instead during mediations and killed the lead negotiator. How can anyone expect the Iranian government to negotiate with pathologically lying terrorists?

[Emo jimmy]

We have a fucking rapist pedo as president because rednecks would rather suffer than see black and brown people treated decently

This deranged nepo baby wouldnt be able to hold down an entry level retail gig for a week but we got him in charge of everything smh

[AnimalChinaski79]

Expletive filled rants on social media telling the opposition to open the "effing" strait or we'll commit war crimes. The true statesman and deal maker.
