Highly recommend Upton Sinclair’s It Can Happen Here for the scenario I hope isn’t being played out.

I’d love to speculate on Donnie’s health, like this mouth breather will be back on oxygen as soon as he’s in the car, but I can’t get my hopes up. And do we think Vance would really be 10% better?
Was there no happy Labor Day message filled with scorn and bile and odd capitalization?
Dr. Demetre Daskalakis resigned his post at the CDC this week because his integrity meant more than his job. Since Trump2.0 started there have been numerous other resignations. GOP politicians would rather be Trump’s boy toys than lose their jobs, or have a backbone. (See Lindsey Graham)
Trump imagines himself to be Yul Brynner in Ten Commandments, “So let it be written, so let it be done.” Stephen Miller is the true racist viper. There is no thought to the consequences to lives or the economy. Doesn’t matter if you voted for him or not we’re all gonna feel the pain.
I’m not a Catholic but I do wonder if upon hearing of these shooting Leo immediately flew to Minneapolis. If he brought not only comfort but a message on guns. What if he went to Gaza to not only visit churches but hospitals too. (Screw IDF restrictions) Just my crazy ass fantasy.
In 8 days the 80th UN General Assembly will open & a few big name countries will declare that a Palestinian state actually exists when those same countries abandoned Palestine decades ago. Crying Israel’s actions were unacceptable there is no Palestine left for a state. It’s been eaten alive.
The GOP has for years wanted to dismantle NPR claiming it is a mouthpiece for the democrats. Now it’s liberal socialist woke. Unbiased reporting is dangerous to both parties when they do asshole shit. Rural stations are a lifeline in these areas & the GOP paints all NPR stations with one brush.
“Approximately half of all school shootings are committed by students or former students, according to a 2020 US Govt Accountability Office (GAO) report. Other reports and analyses, such as (TASSS), indicate that a significant majority of school shooters are adolescents, with an average age of 16.”
I don’t believe that this man doesn’t believe 322,000 Virginians will lose Medicaid coverage. Let’s be generous and say there’re 10% illegible for Medicaid you’ve 289,800 still to cover. But you’ve cut &1T which leaves 2 choices. Increase funding or euthanize “nonproductive” people. Free cremation⚱️
Is the BBC open to libel charges if for every quest who states a fact about IDF bombing a hospital, murder of journalists, or famine they have to parrot what Israel or IDF says? It’s not a debate. It’s not he said, she said. The BBC has reporters prove your guest is wrong. Parachute into Gaza.
In history there been amateurs who’ve made scientific discoveries using basic research principles, but experts have given us everything from smallpox vaccine (1796) to CRISPR to mRNA. I challenge RFK Jr. to name one scientific discovery that has been made by a non-medical conspiracy driven quack.
Don’t worry, it’s coming Monday when he congratulates himself for all his hard work, denigrating Joan Crawford, Chuck Schumer & President Martin Sheen.
My question is why the billionaire tech oligarchy not have their hand up their puppet’s ass forcing a change of course? They’re the ones who need power for all these giant AI data centers. It’s true Trump can hold on to things like a dog with a ball, but business is business for the deep state.
How many of these tax welfare billionaires could write $4M check every year & never lose a day on their 2nd yacht? And it’s tax deductible!
In the 20th century two VPs succeeded their dead presidents. Harry Truman post WWII he oversaw the Berlin airlift, Marshall Plan & desegregated the armed services. L.B. Johnson had served in the senate and was able to take up Kennedy’s civil rights fights. 2-faced JDV is neither of these two men.
Formaldehyde. But seriously IV diuretics for his water retention which can cause kidney damage. He’s not a well man mentally or physically.
I honestly believe if a bipartisan bill to remove all tariffs on any and all foods, raw or finished product, the administration’s collective head would explode. So where is this vital bill?
Not a doctor. No medical training at all. He could not do a medical work up on a healthy child in an ER nor a child with a broken arm nor a child with type one diabetes. And yet he knows better than 99.999% of pediatricians to give Covid vaccines to expectant mothers to protect the unborn. Quack.
I saw a post from a, if I remember correctly, ICU nurse who said the bruising was most likely from IV diuretics for his water retention that also cause kidney damage. He gave Trump 6-8 months. One of my docs thought 2-faced Vance as president would reverse DJT policies. That’s gotta be a joke.
I really do hate “we told you so” bashing. I certainly think a 2nd term Biden, no longer beholding to AIPAC, would most likely been tougher on Israel. I do hope Harris would have read the room & toughened up. Trusting DJT who is getting a Trump settlement in Golan Heights is suicide.
I’m sorry you weren’t allowed into Gaza to visit World Central Kitchen’s operations. When they get supplies Palestinians are geared up to provide tens of thousands of hot meals. Their portable bakery provides bread. And of course you needed to visit a hospital were US medical volunteer save lives.
I’m not surprised. Why should Witkoff follow any diplomatic protocol when there’s no science left at the CDC? Is Witkoff even part of the Department of State? As a special envoy I would’ve thought Trump hired him to think outside the box, but instead he’s inexperienced & lives in a box.
👍👍👍👍
Which Roosevelt? The woke Rough Rider or the socialist.
There’s no subscription to the Joyce. Pick what interests you. Theater companies there are packages where have so many plays and then pick what you fancy. And since I don’t know you I wouldn’t dare recommending anything. Roundabout has a $320 package. www.roundabouttheatre.org/get-tickets/...
Israel’s new excuses lie for hitting the hospital was that Hamas had a camera on the hospital’s roof. IDF is the only large working army in Gaza. Its soldiers could’ve gone up that same staircase and removed the camera & not killed 20 people. Stop the excuses. IDF deliberately killed 20 civilians.
Pushing myself. Manhattan Theater Company or Public Theater subscriptions are great.
This guy watched Wicked & is thinking of flying monkeys. But seriously there is new drone technology that makes jamming the impossible. Plus drones can fly in under radar. Instead of addressing the real challenges this administration comes up with 1999 excuses.
I’ve come to think Trump keeps on this “Ukraine going into this war” lie because the truth is our backseat driving of Ukraine’s efforts is a contributing factor why it hasn’t had even more success. Like Hegseth saying Ukraine needs permission to use US long range weapons to hit targets in Russia.
I’m not challenging you. I challenged myself & loved it.
I couldn’t point to one. It has always been the variety of the visiting companies. The Joyce doesn’t have its own company and all the companies are from all over. Take a look at the upcoming schedule. Pick want you know you’d like or test your boundaries. www.joyce.org/performances...
I had attached the Times article to my post. But my impression is this guy says this criticism & doesn’t back it up with one example. He says his old Washington Ballet is woke & it isn’t. I only got to appreciate dance because NYC’s Joyce Theater is weeks of varied forms of dance. Too woke?
Thank God us liberal leftist woke white guys can’t be blamed for taking away another symbol of white pride.
One of BlueSky’s is I’m not sure what you’re referring to. If you mean the new dance director I subscribe to The NY Times.
And the new director of dance at the Kennedy Center is gong to end leftist woke ideology in ballet. I’m not joking. That was in his letter to the president of the Center. www.nytimes.com/2025/08/25/a...
How dare Noem compare Trump to Teddy or Franklin Roosevelt! And if Mount Rushmore weren’t crumbling FDR should be added and not that fascist egomaniac.
Deportation to Uganda is so much better than having discovery & trial on the charges that Abrego Garcia was actually a criminal. How Bondi must hunger for the days when trumped up charges like Leo Frank could work. Ironic the musical Parade about Frank is playing at the Kennedy Center.
Reported that Palestinian reporters regularly went to the hospitals roof to get a better WiFi signal. I do not believe that the IDF didn’t know this. I don’t believe that this was some unfortunate mishap. Either someone ordered those two tank strikes or some hothead decided on his own to kill.
Convenient how he ran out of time. I bet one of those better informed constituents would next ask why Trump hasn’t imposed more sanctions on Russia. Or maybe how he told the President of South Korea what a swell guy Kim Jong-un is. Or how they play Fortnite every Monday night.
Is this another nail in the case to deport Garcia anywhere? DoJ has a losing case against Kilmer so they offer a deal, plead guilty & go to Costa Rica. Case goes away & no embarrassing trial. Now they want to deport to Uganda & DoJ drops their case cause he’s not here? Still the case is nonsense.
I often think of these lines from Henry V when hoping for more warrior democrat leaders. “Then should the warlike Harry, like himself, Assume the port of Mars; and at his heels, Leash'd in like hounds, should famine, sword and fire Crouch for employment.”
If DoJ just dropped the case they could’ve saved a wee bit of face. Now the case has to go to trial for dismissal or a thousands $ case for a $25 fine. Not as embarrassing as Abrego Garcia where DoJ has a failing case so they try to blackmail him into a guilty plea & Costa Rica. Now it’s Uganda!
The sad answer is that Netanyahu & his bigoted cabinet would like as many Palestinians to die and/or go anywhere like Sudan. A people who have lived by the sea for millennia to move to a desert. No Western or Arab power is willing to do the work of cutting Israel trade, sanctions, or invading Gaza.
Two acts of deliberate murder. The IDF and Israeli government make no mistakes when it comes to treating Palestinians. Journalist are deliberately targeted. The only reason for Netanyahu’s crocodile tear “apology” is because the staircase murder was recorded. Neither soldier will face charges.
It is very ironic that this arrest & whatever outrageous crime this man will be charged with has been recorded by another private citizen. I wish there were some repercussions for those officers specially for any false charges.
After looking at the dance bookings for this season there is nothing controversial. Was the fired team for an evening of indigenous American dance & against a week of square dancing & polka?
Ah, the old hardened security argument and nothing about the guns.
Did Maxwell really lie? Saying I didn’t see Trump get a massage doesn’t mean she didn’t point him to the blue room with a 16-year old girl. Saying Trump was always a gentleman could mean he said thank you before he went into the blue room.
Someday I hope to read a history of why the (former) leader of the free world & commander of the world’s greatest military was humbled by a 2nd class dictator of a failing economy & nation. PutIn’s great fear now is a free Europe leading & standing up to him & Trump. I hope Europe will do just that.
And rat catchers.
The engineering and machinery exist. One project under NYC’s Grand Central Station is done. There are two other projects. One extending the new 2nd Avenue subway & the other is under the Hudson River for Amtrak & NJT.
Seriously if anyone thinks Trump wants a fair election next November they’re ignoring the Texas redistrict map. Even Stephen Miller knows the BBB is killer of GOP votes.
That bandage is so unimportant that Google has no answer for it. But I’m sure London bookies are taking bets on Trump’s hand makeup. I’m going with the bruise from getting IV diuretics for his swelling.
The appliqué millworker glued to the walls is available at Home Depot. It’s recreations of antique work & cost anywhere from $25+ a piece. It’s spray painted. You can’t put gold leaf on something made of some plastic. He’s trying to make an American room like European royalty. He’s a sick bitch.
There is an ad for a STARZ show called The Serpent Queen. In the clip the Queen says, “I’ll put your son in pris ion, then find the evidence for the crime I already know he committed and then chop off his head.” This sums up to Bolton witch-hunt.
Finally one agency actually said there was famine in Gaza City. Not imminent, or foreseeable, but actually happening. And still these crocodile tear outraged countries do not cut off all business with Israel. Is that business worth being morally bankrupt? Trump’s USA is morally bankrupt.
I’ve wondered if it would’ve made any difference if the immigrant left the courtroom with a signed continuance order, or if the judge escorted them out and told the thugs this person was free to go. Once the judge turned their back it as well as the paper would make no difference.
I’m sure it’s because many of us have pointed out that the White House arrest stats it boasted about were not higher than Metro PD’s averages. I have to wonder if the stats are lower because the trained officers are too busy escorting National Guard troops who’d get lost in a traffic circle.
Love my library’s ebooks.
DHS & DoJ are fools and cowards. They deport him despite a court order, forced to bring him back the accuse him of everything & up to being the head of the Mafia with little to no evidence. Instead of being disgraced in court they want to deport him to Uganda.
More proof there is no independent DoJ/FBI when Vance is up to date on an actual witch-hunt.
When are these crocodile tears outraged Israeli trading partners going to cut ties with that genocide apartheid state?
Time for Chicago’s beautiful African American ladies to tell Trump where to shove that big round FIFA trophy.
We need to always remember first & foremost that there are living victims of Epstein & Maxwell & one who couldn’t live with her lifelong history of sexual abuse. Maxwell being in a country club prison is an insult to those women. Any change to her sentence will be a national disgrace.
If there any crosswalks with stars & bars that you know of check on them. I’m sure they weren’t painted over.
McCarthy lost his arguement by falling back on his personal grievance.
Trump’s heroes ignore norms & he wants to be just like them. Example, Netanyahu & his “war hero” plans to destroy all of Gaza. He admires Bibi’s fuck off to any international pressure. Donnie thinks who’ll sanction US. Mexico complains he’ll just increase the tariffs on Mexican produce for us to pay
World leaders can object to Netanyahu’s Gaza City offensive & shout about Israel’s plan to build an “illegal” settlement to divide the West Bank into two parts thus killing a 2-state solution. Their outrage means nothing to Israel & won’t until major economies cut off all trade with it.
The White House bragged about 550 federal arrests since 8/7/2025. Since Metro PD is now federalized, there is no distinction between “more than” or standard & if the overall stats is 550 this is below Metro PD’s average arrest rate. Other than the Subway hero event this show is only theater.
Until there is an AI autonomous being that can feel sunshine, rain, taste food & drink, experience connection & loss I will not admit a static box can create art regardless of how much data you pump in to it. Until then AI art is just graphics by human input & I’ve see some amazing human AI work.
Poor dog owners.
ICE has this tactic down. Get the women & children out first and then circle the husband so there’s no interference. I do hope we’ll get to a time when this will be part of a HS civics class & one of these agent’s kids will see what dad did. And never respect him ever again.
The headline should really read, Trump & GOP Don’t Care You’ll Pay More. Remember when we’ll have a little pain before it gets better? No, it’s we’ll get so used to the pain it won’t hurt any more. Remember when eggs weren’t $4.49 a dozen? Or a box of cereal weighed more & was cheaper.
True confession I sometimes buy instant mashed potatoes to relive my high school lunchroom experience.
Just my guess the crimes at Union Station & National Mall are pickpocketing & shoplifting. Not that I’ve ever seen or experienced either in my Amtrak commutes. Bored National Guard troops who aren’t trained police officers meant to stop crime. Like the 16 ton troop carrier this is all show.
I think you and I would ask how many crimes didn’t end apprehending the criminal because Metro PD was too busy escorting National Guard troops around who’d get lost at DC traffic circles. Also, what’s the breakdown of arrests.
We all know a 16 ton all terrain vehicle is worthless in any urban environment. More importantly the crime stats since August 7 are not higher than Metro PD’s own stats. The article doesn’t say the 550 arrests are above Metro PD averages. Since Metro PD is temporarily federal that is misleading.
General Longstreet was a better general than Lee but there are no statues of him in the South because as soon as the war was over he became a republican, worked on reconstruction, black voting rights and served several administrations. A statue to him would be more upsetting then one to Sherman.
As usual Miller has to make up some preposterous claim instead of addressing the fact that the majority of Americans (yes, white Americans) do not support kidnapping children, high schools students, or their hard working immigrant neighbor. Miller needs the National Guard not me or you.
Speaking for myself, I never gave it a thought that Target had a diverse, inclusive, equal workforce. This is what MY America looks like. Dumb ass thing is DEI is law! No discrimination, equal pay/treatment, employee inclusion. Target caved to fake white outrage instead of promoting its workforce.
Not a reassuring tourist ad standing next to Hegseth in a room full of National Guard troops. This faux administration has declared DC to be the crime capital of the world because DOGE boy got a bloody nose. Fully find Metro PD & quit the theatrical police state.
Hi, I’m Nancy Mace. I voted to cut Medicaid, SNAP & ACA for thousands of South Carolinians, but thanks to tax breaks for our billionaires any moment you’ll feel the trickle of their benevolence.
John Wick is a $1B franchise so he’s going to win. In a Mehdi-Wick debate you’d melt with him staring at you & four word sentences in that deep husky voice. Specially if he said, I agree with you.
What is your list of real & imagined crisis?
We all need to contact our reps in Congress & demand legislation to remove tariffs on all food items. And I mean all. From Mexican tomatoes to French cheese. Canadian maple syrup to German wine. Democrats to Republicans need to back this. Sadly they’re useless on price gouging and shrinkflation.
After Erin is Fernand & then Ghislaine.
Imagined crisis in no order: Trade imbalances. Universities are antisemitic by nature. mRNA for anything. Woke museums & arts. NPR & PBS. Entitlements. Climate regulations. Business regulations specially cyber. Repressing white pride in exceptionalism. Trans anything. Democrats, AOC & Mamdani.
In no order of real crisis: Congress not taking action on tariffs, specially all food. No comprehensive immigration policy to keep hard working non-criminals. Housing. Destruction of NHS, climate & VA. Palantir database without congressional oversight. Assault on voting rights.
No one ever says what x, y & z Zelensky could have done to prevent Putin’s invasion. No one can because it was Putin warmongering that Ukraine was a Nazi threat. The only threat was strongly worded tut-tuts from USA. Putin knew there’d be no heavy response from any US president. Certainly not Trump.
Whatever happened to just having a “Tell Your Dog I Said Hi” sticker.
Gosh, real national crisis or imagined?
From 2017 when he praised the African American History Museum. youtu.be/69XborXYkao?...
I wonder if he talked to the person who sent in a ballot for a dead relative who’s now a felon. His fellow GOP member.
Let’s correct Trump’s brain! Russia never should started this war. Even though Ukraine took on a country 10x its size its brave soldiers with the best US made weapons have defended their homeland. I’m 100% sure this is what a normal Trump brain would’ve said. Sadly his spawn are also diseased.
I wish he had complimented Stubb on his English so Stubb could’ve answered, I graduated from Mainland High School in Daytona Beach, Florida in ‘86.
Estimated 6.5% decline in international tourism to DC this year. I wonder how much American tourism will go down with DC now flooded with hundreds of federal officers & hundreds of National Guard troops for several states roaming aimlessly & asking residents for directions.
Zelensky hd a very cool calm answer to Doocy because he remembers how he was the planned instigator for the Trump\Vance attack last time. But I’m not Zelensky so I would have countered, “If your family’s Ukrainian freedom was to be handed over to a murderous dictator how would you want me to act?”
Hot Mike caught Trump letting Macron thinks Putin wants peace for him. No live footage of Macron’s reaction. Just another example of how it’s all about Donnie.
If concessions had been put forward they were shot down immediately. Putin doesn’t have to answer to constituents. He’s the Czar of Russia. There’s no free press, propaganda is 1st class & he has a solid control over his police forces. He’s playing the same game Russian did with Hitler & Bonaparte.
