Trump wants to go to war with Denmark over Greenland! Outside of being completely useless to the United States… this is Trump’s first forrey into attacking European nations. He’s doing this because Putin wants him to.

You all elected a psychopath who is hell-bent on angry bitterness and pettiness. I just wanna remind all of you supporters of his that you’re not him. He’s far away thousands of miles from you and you’re right here having to deal with who you have to deal with face-to-face.

So as these things come to head and then they start to get chopped off, realize you’re on your own because he doesn’t know who you are. All he wanted was your vote.

US President-elect Donald Trump says owning the Arctic island is vital for national security, but experts say he may also be eyeing other aspects of Greenland such as its trove of natural resources

In the latest episode of The QNow, hosts Mark Bland and Jason Kull dive into the unraveling of Trump’s empty promises as he preps for a potential second term. Before even reclaiming the presidency, Trump’s Project 2025 is a clear sign of betrayal: slashing Social Security, gutting Medicare, and prioritizing corporate profits over the very voters who elected him. Mark and Jason lay out the facts and expose the consequences of these policies for everyday Americans, particularly in red states like Missouri, where the impact will be severe.

But it doesn’t stop there. The duo also tackles the growing influence of Elon Musk, dissecting how his unchecked power and agenda could reshape society in troubling ways. From pushing his political beliefs to flexing his influence on platforms like X, Elon’s rise is as dangerous as it is unchecked.

Engaging, unfiltered, and bold, Mark Bland and Jason Kull deliver another thought-provoking episode packed with hard truths and sharp analysis. Don’t miss The QNow—where we cut through the noise and get to the heart of the issues that matter. Available now on all streaming platforms!

Trump’s latest flip-flop on grocery prices is nothing but an embarrassing admission of failure. His unrealistic promises were always smoke and mirrors, and now he’s backtracking like a coward when it becomes clear that no one can fix inflation overnight.

NEW WEEK, NEW SHOW!

On this week’s episode of The QNow, Mark Bland and Jason Kull dove into an eclectic mix of topics that showcased their sharp wit and unfiltered commentary. The discussion kicked off with a look at DOGE and a playful take on the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE). Mark and Jason envisioned this satirical department as a reflection of bureaucratic absurdities, highlighting the challenges of holding public institutions accountable. The segment combined humor and critique to emphasize the need for better governance.

Next, the conversation turned to a controversial move by Elon Musk—dubbed “Ironbolt”—and his alleged involvement in cutting Veterans Affairs (VA) benefits. The hosts dissected the potential motivations and repercussions of such a decision, critiquing how billionaires like Musk can wield outsized influence over policy. Mark emphasized the ethical implications, while Jason offered insights into how veterans might mobilize in response.

The episode reached a dramatic peak with a segment on the "United Healthcare Assassination" of Brian Thompson and the subsequent manhunt. This mysterious figure, reportedly linked to the insurance giant, became a metaphor for the frustrations Americans face with the healthcare system. Mark and Jason discussed the pervasive inequities in healthcare, using the "assassination" and ensuing manhunt as a tongue-in-cheek symbol for the bureaucracy that undermines patient care.

Since Kash is now set to direct the FBI, we should let everyone know that he also liked showing up on undrground moms basement podcast shows like Stew Peters to spew racist rants and be typically unimpressive as a person.

With an IQ of 73, Trump has achieved more than you did living where you live.

We love post like these from people because we come to find out that the biggest issue in most cases is that the person posting is just not a very likable person. Therefore people just don’t like to talk to them about stuff. So they get mad and come up with excuses and labels for what makes it the way it is.

Electing Trump was a catastrophic mistake. The so-called “boring” politician may be uninspiring, but at least they don’t threaten democracy and public health.

RFK Jr., a dangerous anti-vaxxer, leading the FDA is reckless. His bizarre antics, including the decapitated whale head incident, are just the tip of the iceberg.

Musk taking charge of cutting government spending is equally absurd. His erratic leadership at Twitter and failed projects, like the Cybertruck, show he’s incapable of handling such a crucial role. This isn’t about “eggs being expensive” or “doing the economy” — it’s about placing critical government positions in the hands of people who have no business being in power.

Whether it’s Rudy Giuliani or Steve Bannon, these figures have proven themselves unfit, and putting them back in charge would be a disaster. America deserves better than this circus of grifters, opportunists, and unqualified leaders.

To be honest...No one is upset about your political stance. The issue is that things like Sexual abuse, racism, homophobia, sexism, and dishonesty don’t bother you enough to draw a line.

Saying these shouldn’t matter makes it clear why people are frustrated.

It’s easy to throw around the “truth” when it fits your narrative. The reality is, some people ignored the science, spreading fear instead of looking at the bigger picture. You weren’t protecting anyone, you were just avoiding accountability.
