Retired United States Army Lieutenant General Mark Hertling breaks it down so simply that even a Trump supporter could understand it. January 6 insurrectionist Ashli Babbitt took an oath to defend this country. Ashli Babbitt died a traitor to this country. Period.
I gotta say, @tomadelsbach.bsky.social... This is gold. Pure gold.
Kimmel for the damn win.
"We don’t swear to an Orange King." I love Rep. Jasmine Crockett.
The ghost of Teddy Roosevelt should come back and beat Stephen Miller's ass.
It's been 68 years today since 15-year-old Elizabeth Eckford was screamed at by racists for simply trying to attend Little Rock Central High School in Arkansas in 1957. If this happened today, every one of the people attacking this girl would be a Trump supporter. Guaranteed.
I wonder if this is what the beginning of secession looks like... The governors of California, Washington and Oregon announced Wednesday that they will form their own "Health Alliance" to coordinate public health guidelines separate from the Trump-controlled CDC. www.cnn.com/2025/09/03/h...
US District Judge Allison Burroughs: “A review of the administrative record makes it difficult to conclude anything other than that defendants used antisemitism as a smokescreen for a targeted, ideologically-motivated assault on this country’s premier universities.” www.cnn.com/2025/09/03/p...
Your good news for the day: A federal judge has thrown a big roadblock in the way of the Feeble Felon's war on education and science. www.cnn.com/2025/09/03/p...
It's satire and yet... could turn out to be true. www.borowitzreport.com/p/trump-reva...
Can you imagine any other president publishing stuff like this daily without the national media making this the top story of the day and seriously questioning the president's sanity? What say you, @cnn.com? Tapper seems very interested in presidential cognitive issues - want to get him on this?
This is what the president of the United States posted on social media last night. A fake video of the California governor flailing weakly at a heavy bag adorned with the stupid "Rocky" fake photo of him. Again - this is the president... of... the... fucking... United... States. #NationalShame
This Day in History... September 4, 1957: Arkansas troops block “Little Rock Nine” from entering segregated high school, as a large crowd of whites jeered and threatened to lynch the frightened Black teenagers. Or, as Donald Trump and his supporters now refer to it, "The good old days."
#Satire (or is it?) "At the White House, press secretary Karoline Leavitt attempted to downplay Trump’s demand, as well as his order that Cabinet members use a hammer to create bruises on the back of their hands." www.borowitzreport.com/p/trump-orde...
Well I must say, Senator Collins, I find this news "disappointing," "concerning," and "alarming." www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...
This is your periodic reminder that the leader of the Republican party is a rapist.
"He's got to be kidding," said Heaven, The Great Beyond in a statement. "These idiots will be throwing good money after bad." meidasnews.com/news/trump-a...
Senator Susan Collins, when told that, while on Fox & Friends this morning, the president stripped naked and dry-humped Steve Doocy while snorting coke off Ainsley Earhardt's bare buttocks: "I am disappointed and concerned with the president's actions."
The question of the day: "Once they get the citizens of this nation comfortable with the current atrocities committed under the color of law, what comes next?" ~ Illinois Governor JB Pritzker
Well, I'm sure the Epstein survivors knew it would be an uphill climb appealing to, you know... a rapist.
As opposed to pardoning January 6 insurrectionist criminals.
More than 1,000 current and former employees of the Department of Health and Human Services have signed a letter demanding that Secretary RFK Jr. resign. “Secretary Kennedy continues to endanger the nation’s health,” the employees wrote. www.cnn.com/2025/09/03/h...
Xi Jinping to Vladimir Putin and Kim Jong Un: "Have we ever had a bigger gift than that gibberish-spewing, orange buffoon?"
I read this book a few years go. 'How Civil Wars Start' by Barbara Walter details what's led to civil wars throughout the world in the last 100 years or so. Trump has us well on our way to that now.
National media: Are *you* ready to start asking this question - every day?
Wow, news like this must make Susan 'Spine-of-Steel' Collins "concerned," "disappointed," "confounded," "dismayed," and, of course, "alarmed."
It almost sounds like this moron wants people to feel sorry for him because he was stupid enough to believe the promises of a known pathological liar. Fuck Trump voters.

Which will be strange when it comes to them helping invade Illinois... Red states used to be all-in on state sovereignty when it was about them keeping people enslaved. www.cnn.com/2025/08/22/p...

I'm not saying it's *OK* for someone to threaten to kill Backwoods-Barbie Marsha Blackburn. I guess what I'm saying is..... I don't know.... Something... kind of, not that. www.wsmv.com/2025/08/28/w...
Incorrect, you lying sack of festering pus. Chicago isn't even in the top 20 in the United States. usafacts.org/articles/whi...
But the biggest factor is that Coloradans didn't elect his raping, racist, convicted-felon ass.
Maria, if I'm in a gambling mood, I'm going to bet on there being zero oil in 50 years but still lots of sun and wind.

Apparently, 40 percent of Americans approve of the disaster that is the Trump presidency. In other polling news, 40 percent of Americans also approve of head lice, shingles and painful groin pulls. news.gallup.com/poll/694370/...
Hey, wait just a danged minute. Do you suppose President Shitshow is small and petty enough to move the Space Command solely to screw a Blue state and reward a Red state? Kidding. Of course he's that petty. apnews.com/article/spac...
Thanks to Trump, weeds and invasive shrubs will never again terrorize innocent people in the nation's capital.
Shouldn't the media be making a bigger deal over this? Never has a serving president and his family made so much money off the presidency. www.wsj.com/finance/curr...
Gee, I wonder if there's one family in particular standing to benefit greatly from the "MAGA Investment Guide"?
Andy Ogles is an idiot and an opportunist who would nominate Pol Pot for a Nobel Peace Prize if he thought it would benefit him.
Mike Luckovich (@mluckovich.bsky.social) on the gutless gun-lobby shills in the Republican party.
OK, I want to know right this minute which one of you radical-lib scamps did this.
#Satire “The government has no place infringing on the rights of honest business owners trying to sell semiautomatic handguns and rifles to people experiencing symptoms of acute mental illness, nor should it prevent the mentally unstable from acquiring those weapons.” theonion.com/texas-blocks...
I used to write about the Senate. I know Senate rules, Senate precedent, and procedures. There are many other things that Schumer could be doing. Read up on how Lyndon Johnson and even Harry Reid handled being Senate Minority Leader. Other than that, agree to disagree and let's fucking move on.
Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson has it exactly right. In normal times that might be hyperbole - with Trump it could even be understatement.
Save your fucking lectures. I would venture to say I have a much longer track record than yours in writing in support of Democrats, working for their election and donating to them. That doesn't mean we just sit mute while key figures do so little. It's not a purity test to expect action.
These are the flashpoints that start civil wars. Retired Maj. Gen. Paul Eaton said he fears a scenario where American military units “wind up shooting at each other” when they “both believe they’re doing the right thing, but their chain of command is flawed.” www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...
"A fractured spine sounds terrible," said the Congressional Republican Caucus, in a statement. "We're very relieved we don't have spines to be concerned with." www.nbcnews.com/politics/pol...
Least-shocking headline of the day: "Where is Donald Trump today? On the golf course" www.cnn.com/2025/08/30/p...
Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth: "We do warfighting here at the Department of Defense." "Everything else that distracts from lethality shouldn’t be happening.”
Hard pass.
Is there a chance that even someone as far gone as a Trump supporter would think this is normal? Kidding. Of course they think it's normal. (And, yes, this is real. He actually did post this on Truth Social.)
Yep, that's President Mini-Mitts: A portrait of loyalty.
Doesn't this blithering idiot have a country he's allegedly running? Oh and by the way, crime is down in Chicago.
Agree to disagree. Let's move on.
Today's Number: 62% That's how much the parent company of alcohol producers such as Jack Daniel's whisky and Woodford Reserve bourbon says sales to Canada have dropped due to Trump's tariffs. Other numbers: 64.5% and 64.2%. That's the vote given to Trump in 2024 by Kentucky and Tennessee. #FAFO
The president of the United States posted this insanity on social media last night. The president... of... the... fucking... United... States. #TrumpIsInsane
Donald Trump's National Guard troops are shown below making Washington D.C. safer from noxious weeds and invasive shrubs.
USA Today editorial: "They should either be training or living their lives at home, prepared for whatever serious deployment lies ahead. They shouldn’t be spreading mulch at Trump's whim. "The job of the Guard is not to make up for an administration’s stupidity." www.yahoo.com/news/article...
Agree to disagree. Let's move on.
That is true in the House - though Jeffries could at least say more and use his voice and visibility more than he does. I used to write about the Senate and I can tell you as a matter of fact that Schumer could be doing more - he just isn't.
Um......... yes?
You do understand that there's a limit to the number of characters available on a post, don't you? Simply because someone doesn't mention exactly what you would have written doesn't mean they need to do more "research." Pay attention to your own posts.
I have a pretty strong understanding of American civics but... thank you.
Cosplay-Barbie Kristi Noem on “Face the Nation” with your ridiculous cult statement of the day: “I do know that L.A. wouldn’t be standing today if President Trump hadn’t taken action." What a weird, delusional world she lives in.
This Day in History... August 31, 1997: Princess Diana dies in a car crash Or, as Trump supporters refer to it, “Alleged Princess supposedly dies in a fake crash orchestrated by the British Deep State.”
Street art in Lille, Roubaix France. They feel us.
The best suggestion you will hear today.
Well this alone should be enough to keep ICE out. They would be like a hoodless Klan.
But with MAGA ethics, if you storm the U.S. Capitol, assault police officers, and try to hang the vice president, you're called heroes and given pardons.
I don't know... I kind of like their new logo.
Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson stating what's obvious to all *decent* people.
"According to federal data, 13 of the top 20 cities in homicide rates have Republican governors. None of those cities are Chicago. "8 of the top 10 states in homicide rates are led by Republicans. None of those states are Illinois. "And yet Trump is sending troops here." - Governor JB Pritzker
Kudos to Senator Tina Smith (D-MN) for letting RFK Jr. have it: "I dare you to go to Annunciation School and tell our grieving community, in effect, guns don’t kill kids, antidepressants do. "Just shut up. Stop peddling bullshit. You should be fired."
We are investigating reports that Senator Collins will soon transition to "deeply concerned" before moving on to "profoundly troubled" and eventually settling on... doing absolutely nothing.
Ah, yes... Because when one looks at the pantheon of great public-health thinkers, one considers people like Pasteur, Salk and, of course ... [Record Needle Scratch] ... Robert Fucking Kennedy Jr.???
It's just another day of Generalissimo Mango's troops braving the savage hellscape of Washington, DC.
It's so darned sad when they just wander off like this -- well, maybe not sad, in this case.
Who could have ever predicted that if 77 million of our dumbest, most-racist citizens elected a grifting, carnival barker to the White House, the official social media feed of the U.S. president would look like this? Answer: The entire rest of the world.
Rick McKee (@rmckee.bsky.social) on MAGA people: Simply the worst among us.
There will come a time when this picture will be featured in history books when reviewing periods where things went very wrong in the United States.
Mike Luckovich (@mluckovich.bsky.social) on how Congressional Democratic leaders should take some hints from Governors Newsom and Pritzker. Rise to the damn occasion.

French President Emmanuel Macron if Kremlin-stooge Trump fails (again) to get Putin to agree to Ukraine peace talks: "If that doesn't happen by Monday, the deadline set by President Trump, it means President Putin has once again played President Trump." www.newsweek.com/russia-ukrai...
If someone made me this weirdly angry, I would block them. I also doubt your estimates.
If you can figure out what the actual hell Mango Unchained is talking about, you must be a mental-health professional accustomed to the twisted.
So, Mr. Speaker, you're saying the U.S. has more mass shootings than the entire rest of the world combined because we're just so much crazier? That should be the Republican slogan for the midterm elections.
Proof positive that thoughts and prayers don't work: He lives.
Nobody could have predicted that Ernst would start polling so badly when she told constituents that they didn't need healthcare because they were eventually going to die anyway. Go figure. www.nbcnews.com/politics/202...
If you're going to accuse someone of being inaccurate, be accurate yourself. You're not. You're embarrassing yourself. Now go.
No fact check needed or wanted. I say in the original post that it's from The Onion.
I say right in the post that it's from the Onion.I also say that it was the same headline they used to run all the time. I do not claim it's from the Minneapolis shooting. No fact-check gotcha for you here - but nice try.
So it sounds like you're making the argument that MSNBC has devoted more minutes to the specific story in question here - countries that no longer ship to the U.S. - than to the Swift-Kelce engagement. Since you're calling others out, you sure you wanna go with that?
