Kinda needs a WWII paratrooper peptalk, “Some of you… might not come back…”

Kinda needs a WWII paratrooper peptalk, “Some of you… might not come back…”
I… um… I don’t speak gibberish. Is there an English translation available?
There’s a lot of things I have to do in this life, but giving my money to fascists isn’t one of them.
He *really* wants his picture in the dictionary under “feckless”.
Ok John. But far-right authoritarian ultranationalists with a dictatorial leader (reminiscent of a certain figure from 1930s Germany) who believe in the forceful suppression of opposition and individual rights is kind of a mouth full. You sure we can’t just say fascist?
He’s been watching the clock till retirement since 1999. Looking forward to writing his memoirs, maybe take up pastel’s or Italian cooking, spend more time with the Baileys … assuming the detention camps have art supplies and visitation.
DARVO is the default language of fascists because they would not be able to justify their behavior in a rational or equitable reality.
What simpering neutered poodle wrote this complaint?
If nothing else, the times we’re in demonstrate that there are a whole lot of craven individuals who should never be allowed to hold positions of power or responsibility ever *ever* again.
Says the guy who has never run a successful business but has run plenty of successful scams.
Some personal news: I've been fired from the Washington Post in the aftermath of the Charlie Kirk shooting. Thread incoming. substack.com/@karenattiah...
They’re going full scale Horst Wessel with this one.
Man, if you didn’t cry when David Bowie or Tom Petty died, there’s something off with your feels. Hell, I cry when I see sad animal commercials, so I’m not the best yard stick here.
All good. I’d add bike racing: Breaking Away just for Paul Dooley’s performance
Wild guess but I don’t think this is the story MAGA is baying and gibbering for. But it’s not likely that will stop them.
Arrows? Fucking arrows? Literally there’s an arrow on a million things… including the Turning Point USA logo for that matter. Criminally irresponsible journalism.
It’s great how Rubio cites sanctions against Alexandre de Moraes for human rights abuses as some kind of authority to legitimize this BS… when it’s Trump who imposed the sanction.
Also crazy with trigger happy cops all over the place. Man, if there’s gunfire, I’m blazing a dusty trail like the roadrunner out of there.
I like it when right-wingers reform their ways, apologize & then STFU and bow out of the public eye forever. That happens, right?
A murder occurs every 30 minutes in America so “too soon” has to be down around the 30 seconds after mark.
Who could have foreseen that appointing a completely incompetent boob like Kash Patel as FBI director would negatively impact the agency’s mission? Besides everybody.
I despise Mike Pence, but he did have an internal consistency that Johnson lacks. Mike Johnson is moral Play-Doh.
We just need a good guy with a sandwich.
Trump has the gastronomic tastes of a five-year-old. And not a very discerning one.
There are more stringent and humane laws protecting cattle during transportation than there are for ICE detainees.
The spaghetti test of truth: Say alotta shit. See what sticks.
I’m feeling a sudden need to reread “A Canticle for Leibowitz” for no particular reason
Fox: “The hens are crisis actors paid by George Soros… those feathers were here before I got here. Benghazi!”
Trump is demonstrably mentally unstable and incapable of performing the duties of his office. What excuse do the people following his illegal orders have? “We were only following orders” has been tried before and it didn’t go so well for those guys.
Well then surely there must be witnesses & records that can be produced to corroborate this tale of selfless heroics. No? Anyone? [crickets]
Let’s abandon all of our allies, cut all foreign aid, piss off the *entire* world with erratic and nonsensical tariffs and then be surprised by what happens in the power vacuum.
That is… quite the framing there, NPR.
Pining for the Fnords.
Keep reading to find out who died! But first, a brief ad for Blinkist. Keep reading to find out what that is!
Well, they’ll never get the shoe polish out of those airbags.
And with the population four times the size of the entire state she was the governor of. The Trump administration is giving new definition to the term grossly unqualified.
The centrist dem notion seems to be to shift to the right to appeal to unicorn swing voters and alienating their base in the process. They still don’t get that they’re up against a tribal affinity group & cult that wants them dead. They may as well try converting Yankees fans into Red Socks fans.
It’s the absolute evil of a man who’s only concerned with his own personal enrichment & ego.
My money is on alien archeologists. Man, I really don’t want to be in a Trumpocene exhibit.
Make America Meh Again
[[ding donging intensifies]]
I try to avoid too much Fraktur in my fast food.
Even outside the context of politics and the whole cult thing centered around him, Trump would be considered a cartoonishly self-obsessed and deeply weird character.
It would be nice if somebody would do a Jim Garrison Zapruder film breakdown of the magic baloney.
We’ve got to come to terms with the fact that these two are incapable of becoming the people they need to be. They just need to go.
He’s mentally unstable and needs to be removed.
No one with any common sense does. The hate & outrage machine needs to fueled daily though. Right now it’s running on paint fumes.
This guy is one of the corpse evangelists Dylan warned us about.
Jesus wept. The word “bipartisan” should taste like ashes in your mouths. Do us a favor and just get out of the way.
Instacart outsourced support to several different 3rd party call centers, none of whom actually works directly for Instacart. I really hate to direct anybody to X but if you go through their page there, they will connect you with tier 3 support which is US based.
Haven’t these guys ever heard of frisbees or picnic lunches?
It’s easy to lose sight of the fact that he’s just some guy who didn’t ask for all this notoriety. Kinda why he’s all of us or any one of us at the mercy of this incredibly vindictive government.
There was a guy in 1930s Germany who came up with that idea. He should sue.
It’s alway sunny in Hitlerdelphia
We’ve already seen the extraordinary leeway granted to the government in extradition cases where it is manifestly evident that the prosecution is lying or stonewalling to make illegal deportations moot. Yeah, the presumption of good faith is pretty much dead.
And of course, the solution being proposed by these knobs is that nothing gets invented. Or, that it gets invented elsewhere.
I’ve been sober for 36 years. But lately it feels like I picked the wrong semicentennial to quit drinking.
If a foreign power did what Trump is doing to the United States — right now — it would be considered an act of war. But with Trump, it’s probably both.
Little historical sidenote. After the bankruptcy, Trump retained 10% ownership interest in the casino which he subsequently lost in *another* bankruptcy proceeding. Probably the only man in the world who could’ve lost a casino through bankruptcy… twice.
Saw the same thing around ground zero after 9/11. Also, cars at train stations. Creepy as fuck. This time around the terrorists responsible are those in charge.
Roidistan. It’s the one with the small peninsula.
The US government has become a deranged & vindictive toddler under this administration.
AFAIK, X, Meta, TikTok and Truth Social are not in compliance with the new Mississippi age verification law. Surprising no one.
Wow. Good thing the FCC doesn’t regulate networks.
The question I would ask her would be — would she feel the same way if it were another person’s child affected? Before the birth of her son? Today? Purely as an exercise in finding out if adversity teaches empathy. Forget about pointing out the hypocrisy from these people. That’s a waste of time.
I’m sorry, but every time I see this guys face I hear in my head, “A pledge pin! On your uniform?”
I was thinking it’d be cholesterol or maybe a pack of wild dogs. But a baloney sammich would have poetic resonance.
The slippery bunny slope to fascism.
This should be his Wikipedia page
Meatballs are good for the spread, but nothing beats the surgical precision of a hard salami
They’re drawing a line in the sand but standing on the wrong side of it. And we can all see it.
It’s seems such a bizarre and incongruous memo until I think about the groups likely to be open carrying shotguns and rifles. It comes across like an invitation to the Kyle Rittenhouse’s of the world to descend upon DC.
The problem with useless centrists like Third Way is that they don’t fucking listen to the people. Instead of standing up for core principles, they want to dilute them to appeal to a nonexistent group. Cuomo is a perfect example of the rot that needs to be excised from the party.
It’s another tactic to avoid confronting fascism head on and it’s weak. It’s assisting the fascists direct attention away from their jackbooted thuggery which should be the ONLY thing democrats should be attacking.
They always look like something that crawled out from underneath a rock.
If you ever visited Trump’s Taj Mahal (before he bankrupted it… twice), it was this.
I will never ever get over the fact that we lost an election to these sea cucumbers.
I’m old enough to remember when he voted by Mail in the 2020 Florida primary
I’m pretty sure at this point he can’t distinguish between what he says in his head and what he says out loud.
I have no idea, but it sounds like you’re interview should be at IKEA
The GOP is really determined to make the defining characteristic of American fascism is its cartoonish commercialism. They’re all about swag & branding like the demented cultish weirdos they are.
The media has done it for every other insanely stupid and illegal act he’s committed. one factory reshored? Fuck. Who cares if it cost consumers billions if we got jobs for a 200 hundred people to make products no one can afford. Winning. This will be the same.
It’s like that Gary Larson cartoon of what dogs hear when humans speak, “blah blah blah Trump blah blah blah Trump.” if he weren’t so evil, he’d be the neediest most pathetic man on the planet.
D.C. A.G. Schwalb says not so fast, A.G. Bondi. "It is my opinion that the Bondi Order is unlawful, and that you [MPD Chief Smith] are not legally obligated to follow it."
Using force to displace unhoused people doesn’t make anyone safer.
Lost Boys because I’m a crazy old man who drives a shit box
The Caligula of Queens at it again. Makes you wonder if all those Colosseum lions vs Christians matches were staged too.
Every single person involved in or collaborating with this fascist coup will need to be prosecuted for there to be any hope of restoring democracy. Any dem politician demanding any less needs to be tossed aside.
… by the mirror in the hallway. Parakeets have the same problem.
That attorney is familiar with the Incel slang, just as much as Loomer and just wants her to spell it out. MTG is all kinds of shitty things that would probably withstand a defamation suit… Sucks for Loomer that she landed on one that might pay off for Greene. But seriously fuck them both.
I’d have to check but Trump might be the first Republican president to lose The National Review. I mean, I know that they eventually urged Nixon to resign, but that was to avoid prison.
Kind of miss the days when moral panic at least had gravitas.
And of course the answer is to let the guy who doesn’t like facts or reality take over. Christ. I swear if I had to watch Morning Joe, I’d start shooting TVs Elvis style.
I think we have to look at Trump as a particularly noxious symptom rather than the cause of the moral rot at the heart of this country. His particular brand of populism will die with him but the malignancy will still be there.
The democrats moral high ground is starting to look like a sinking boat surrounded by sharks. I almost but moral high ground in scare quotes ‘cause, ya know. But seriously, maybe it’s time to start fighting the GOP like the insane fascist death cult that they actually are.
Huh. The guy who bankrupted six companies still sucks with numbers.
Trump has never in his life inhabited the real world.
Yep. Billionaires like Bezos, Musk, Soon-Shiong use their media holdings as extensions of their corporate PR & lobbying efforts. They’re only unprofitable if looked at as independent cost centers which they certainly are not.
Just as a note. Anything higher than 0% is unacceptable and a disqualifier from participation in society.
It’s no easy thing, speaking truth to meower. I’ll see myself out.
