I can’t get over Bill Barr sabotaging the Mueller report. I’ll never get over the folks who need the Epstein files to know confidently Trump was an eager participant. Why do we need the Epstein files? To convince MAGA they worship a pedophile?
Oh, no! Trump has so many MORE business failures America could be! We could be his failed "University", his failed airline, his failed line of steaks, his failed real estate deals....
What? Schmuck Schumer actually SPOKE UP??? Did Trump do something Netanyahu doesn't like? Because that's the ONLY time Schumer can be bothered to act....
That's probably because she wants a job with the Felonious Traitor Trump regime....
Sure, because their idea of "Law & Order" is "Terrify the Libburuls and the Poors!" I used to think that people who said "Law Enforcement is just there to protect the Rich from the rest of us" were being extremists. Ever since Shub's "Free Speech Zones" and "Department of Homeland Security"? 🤷♂️
Gee, just because we treat anybody who's not a White Anglo-Saxon Protestant American like they're subhuman vermin? Why on earth would people NOT want to vacation in the USofA? Yep, that's a puzzler, all right .... 🧐🤔
Warren said Trump being a fascist is a "distraction". Right out loud. I suppose Hitler building concentration camps was a "misuse of resources that could've been used to grow the economy", while we're failing to see the forest for the trees? 🤦♂️ Remember when they wanted her to run for President?
You just reminded me that there is a movie where Roy Orbison plays a gunfighter/musician who has a rifle built into his guitar....
You have achieved your full purpose, to provide warmth and snuggles for kittehs.

"In a rare moment of honesty, Donald Trump demonstrates the size of teeny weenie...." Get right on that, Faux Noize!
Well, Fancy That...! Yes, it hurts us too, but give me a minute to bask in the *schadenfreude* of MAGA's HORRIBLE AWFUL BIGOTED choices coming back to bite them on their bloated White Asses!
Great, so much for how every bank and business in the U.S. uses Social Security numbers!
Why are so many people in thrall to an absolute moron like Donald Trump? Who the fuck cares what he thinks? HE thinks he's Hitler, but he's not even those Soviet hardliners who couldn't beat Boris Yeltsin! If your dictatorship is so weak it can't stand up to a crooked old drunk? You're no dictator.
It's not SHITTY Southern food, it's more generic Southern food. My ex-wife and I used to eat there a lot when we traveled because you always knew what you were getting, and she loved the selection of old-fashioned candies and sodas. I stopped going after we split up because I hated their politics.
The exact same way they're covering Trump now. The EXACT same way.
This time he won’t ever leave and he has everyone’s help doing it. 🚨imo
So it was just FUD spread by Preznit Shitzenpants? Gods know he has LOTS of it to spread around!
🤮 🤮 🤮
I wonder who's getting him to say it, because he's nowhere NEAR smart enough to think of it on his own!
Miller finding out just how VULNERABLE he is, and how much we can make him REALLY suffer, can't happen soon enough for me.

Apparently "New Haven-Style Pizza" has a definite cult following, and "Connecticut Representative Rosa DeLauro read a statement declaring New Haven to have "the best pizza in the country" into the Congressional Record, sparking some controversy." Gee, ya think? 🤷♂️ en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Hav...
Trump declared a fake emergency in D.C. and sent in the military. Congress can end this abuse of power—join @standupamerica.com & demand action now: act.standupamerica.com/letters/cte-...
And I have the misfortune of having had Chuck Schumer as my former Senator, and now I have Cory Booker! I didn't vote for either of them and I donated money to their primary opponents, because I wanted to support somebody who wasn't a Republican in all but name!
What do you think I just did? And do every chance I get? But most of the core Democratic Party acts like they would be just as happy if The Squad...went away so they could go back to collecting that sweet, sweet, corporate donor cash and not have to worry about doing anything for us for it.
In case you're not into spy thrillers like I am, "Cheka" is Russia's Permanent Secret Police, from the time of the Tsars to the early Soviet Union's NKVD to the OGPU to the MKGB to the MGB to the KGB to the present-day SVR and FSB. Evidence? I pulled it out of my ass just now b/c of...RUSSIA!
What if he was RIGHT, and the last 32 years have been a Cheka Deep Op to destabilize the US by placing Bill & Hillary Rodham Clinton, Bush's failson George W, AND Donald Trump in power? Sure the Cheka failed with Obama & Biden, but that period sure feels like someone playing chess with themselves.
At the time I figured it was George I's Hail Mary Play, a petty desperate attempt by a dried-up patrician and ex-spy to sling mud on his Democratic opponent after his only act of note, Persian Gulf 1, failed to improve his approval ratings, and he was blindsided by the fall of the Iron Curtain. But—
Remember when the Democratic Party screamed that Hillary Rodham Clinton was "inevitable!"
Compared to what the rest of the Democratic Party, with the notable exceptions of Bernie Sanders and The Squad, are doing? I'm sadly afraid so. Every Democrat should at LEAST be doing what Newsom is doing, along with offering a better vision for this country. But the DNC is doing jack shit, IMO.
That pretty much covers it, doesn't it? The White Cis Liberals, or "Clinton Neoliberals" as I call them, seem to think that Gavin Newsom's performative pettiness is all that's needed in a President. Anybody remember back in late 1992, when George HW Bush claimed Bill Clinton was an KGB Agent?
"Their strategy is to make resistance look futile by presenting their power as inevitable. We must not let them succeed in that psychological warfare. Resistance is not futile, but it does require seriousness, preparation, and courage." hartmannreport.com/p/the-author...
So they can keep raking in that sweet, sweet corporate cash? If I haven't made it clear how CONTEMPTIBLE I find those running the Democratic Party yet, let me make it do so now—They Disgust Me. I give my support to a number of individual Democrats, but after $Hillary? I stopped supporting the DNC.

But can you call him Al? 😁
Well, sure, because as long as it was just sex workers.... 😒 Every time you see a group looking for scapegoat? There's an authoritarian behind it.
I wish I could go back to the days where I could actually trust the media... but maybe that was always a fool's paradise....
Thank you! Following now
And here's Noah now to clarify why he supports Pritzker!
Okay, that's a good start....
I do. All the time. It's not MY fault you don't know or care what else I talk about.
Why do guys like you even vote Democratic? With your utter lack of principles and willingness to look the other way at rampant corruption and criminality, you should be all in on Donald Trump, like a good Republican!
So you're all for Rancid Andy Cuomo, or Corrupt Eric Adams, because they're "realistic" Democratic choices? I mean, what's a little sexual predation, bribery, and/or acting on behalf of foreign interests among Democrats, right? I'll take my chances with somebody who DOESN'T make me want to puke.
I want a Democrat who won't waffle on supporting Zohran Mamdani, AOC, Jasmine Crockett, & Bernie Sanders—or worse, backstab them in favor of a "safe" choice...who will lose again & not really care, because THEIR real constituency, the Corporate Donors, are happy with the shitty way things are now!
As long as we're digging through horseshit looking for the pony in there? I want a Democratic Presidential candidate I can vote FOR, rather than some corporate sellout who's marginally less awful than Donald "Hitler for Dummies" Trump. I want one who stands FOR something other than self-interest.
Well, I want full medical coverage without "Medicare Part B" and "Medicare Advantage" taking almost $200 out of my pocket each month! I doubt either of us will get what we want.... Newsom's already MADE his case—he's against whatever is inconvenient at the moment, like EVERY Corporate Democrat.
ARE we sitting on our hands? Or are you by cheerleading the exact same kind of Corporate Clinton Neoliberal Democrat who's the reason why the Democratic Party's approval ratings are WORSE than Donald Trump's, which are TERRIBLE already? How about some REAL change for a change? Not just posturing?
No argument there! I would love to see a LOT more Democrats do what Newsom's doing, but right now it feels like he's controlled opposition to Trump—and the "courageous" choice for the Democratic Presidential nomination. It feels as "real" as Hakeem Jeffries's or Cory Booker's fake filibusters.
You would think, wouldn't you? That goes for Transpersons, Palestinians, Ukrainians, & non-White Americans, period. But apparently to a LOT of Democrats...it's optional, and can be chucked away when it's not expedient, costs too much, or most importantly pisses off the DNC's Big Money Donors.
Fine! Give me her name and I'll support her! She seems to know how to fight back. BTW? Gul Dukat is one of the greatest villains ever—he makes Trump AND Putin look like pikers by comparison! Now THERE is an Evil Mastermind you can fear and respect—& the best part is, he thinks he's the HERO!
Fine! Give me her name and I'll support HER! SHE seems to know how to fight back.
Do you want to give him a medal, or are your looking for his chest to pin it on? If Trump hadn't INVADED his state, I doubt we'd have heard a peep out of him. Sure I'm glad he's stepped up NOW, but does Trump have to invade EVERY Blue State to get the Corporate DNC, who Newsom belongs to, to act?
Newsom is anti-union, transphobic & hosted a podcast where he welcomed the MAGAtyist of MAGA. How far Right a Democrat are you NOT to have serious concerns about him as a leader & a person? Humiliating Trump is the Minimum Daily Requirement of Moral Courage EVERY Democrat should possess!
ROTFL! No, Newsom borrowed Lex Luthor's twenty monkeys to type anti-Trump social media posts! 😂
I had wondered—Noah Berlatsky over on Substack was doing a positive piece on him, and I was, "Fine, but I don't know jack about him!" I just found out two interesting bits of info—he's setting up a LGBTQ+ Hotline in Illinois, which is Good; he's not bothered by Palestinian Genocide, which is BAD!
Or maybe the NY TIMES is just a corrupt bunch of Corporate Neoliberals who like having an oligarchy because they can get more perqs from one than from a, you know, HONEST and PROGRESSIVE Government?
Oh, but Adams is so ENERGETIC! Works all day, parties all night, always bouncing around like the Energizer Bunny.... I read that in an admiring profile of the man in NEW YORK MAGAZINE (I think). On the other side of the Hudson River all I could think was, "Does he run on speed or cocaine?"
Why, the raging Zionism of these responses is astounding! I'm going to find "My Israel, Right or Wrong" in ALL your Profiles, aren't I? If not, then just assume you misunderstood me and go away.
A beatdown in broad daylight was caught on video: Masked men in tactical vests grappled, tased, and piled onto a delivery worker. Pinning the worker face down on the pavement, agents tased him again and punched him repeatedly in the head.
Stephen Miller is a whiny, spoiled resentful little punkass who think he's Hitler, when he's not even Himmler.
I LOVE That idea! Let's put HIM in Alligator Alcatraz, where Nazis like him belong! I used to date a Jewish woman who insisted that if Hitler wasn't such a raging antisemite he'd have conquered the World—because Jews make the best Nazis! I think of that a LOT between Netanyahu and Miller....
I think that's too kind a description of Stephen Miller.
Why despite his recently showing The Minimum Daily Requirement of Moral Courage in attacking Donald Trump, I cannot like or trust Gavin Newsom....

Good, about fucking time. I wonder if those Women will get her before the Dogs and Goats do.... 😈
Will No One Treat this Felonious Traitor as he DESERVES to be treated, like a common criminal?
I just submitted "KINKY KILLS 5-31-25" to Big Apple Film Festival and Screenplay Competition via FilmFreeway.com!
I just submitted "KINKY KILLS 5-31-25" to London Art Film Awards via FilmFreeway.com! Two in one day! In England, no less! I imagine there's some fourth-assistant British script reader who sees my script and mutters, "Not that bloody Yank again!"
I just submitted "KINKY KILLS 5-31-25" to Cambridge Script Festival via FilmFreeway.com! Right now they have both this and the Watson pilot—let's hope one of them wins something other than just "Print out your own laurels".... 🤷♂️

Beauty, eh? 🤣🤣🤣
The Atlantic has always been the "moderate Right".... 🙄
This is why I've never had, or wanted, a Citibank account....
🤣 Does anybody remember what happened to the REAL-life "Galt's Gulch" some Techno-Libertarians tried to set up in...New Hampshire, I think? I think I heard they got eaten by bears.... And let's not forget all the "smooth-brained billionaire TechBros" who tried setting up "seasteading" countries! 🤣
😂 😂 😂 About time he came out and admitted it! Perfect. No notes.... 🤣 🤣 🤣

Burchett represents Tennessee. Over the last few years, Nashville, Memphis, and Chattanooga have all had higher crime rates than D.C. Knoxville, where Burchett was mayor, is lower, but still among the most violent 10 percent of cities in the country.

I'm sure Xi Jinping thinks this is useful for social control, as he does everything these days—but HOW that won't turn into a chaotic mess that will hurt even HIS ambitions is beyond me....
😂 Watch the ENTIRE Right Wing suddenly be all pro-Gun Control! Those bigoted fucks just have to show their asses and their inherent racism.... 🤣 🤣 🤣
Antifa is the Right's major boogeyman because We Are Everywhere and Nowhere—We Could Be Any ONE of YOU.... WE ARE...BATMAN!
Nonsensical? I've read more coherence in Trump's farts than in that shitpost.
Relieving Maxwell of her sentence would send a dangerous message to the rich and powerful that they are above even the most heinous of crimes. And it would be an awful affront to the survivors and their families who bravely came forward to hold Maxwell accountable.
Gee! Ya THINK???
Honestly? I'm not sure there's that much difference between the two—unless you consider that Williams was a gay Southerner, and Susann was a Broadway and early television actor turned bestselling trash novelist. They both wrote about similar beautiful, broken people....
That was the best part! Leonard Nimoy saying respectfully, "Ah, yes, the Giants...." You wonder how many takes it took to get through that without laughing....
My ex-wife and I bought the Blu-ray of NATIONAL LAMPOON'S ANIMAL HOUSE to show her niece and their friends about seven or eight years ago.... OMG! That movie aged like milk set out in the sun! In Florida. In August. 🙀🙀🙀
I didn't read LORD OF THE FLIES until I was in college! And, no, I'm not sure it holds up that well in today's society.

Says a man who takes quotes from the FAR Right Sinclair Broadcast Network, who broadcast the night before the 2008 Presidential election a Jerome Corsi hit piece about John Kerry. Of course you're anti-Cuomo— you're a fucking Bush Nazi! And no, I don't miss that warmongering little twerp at all.
Exsqueeze me?
