BREAKING: ICE is sending Russian dissidents back to Russia. When the dissidents arrived in Russia, the Russian authorities were given documents relating to their asylum applications in the US which under US law are confidential. This seems to be part of a secret agreement between Trump and Putin.
Nothing "devalues and demeans the Christian faith" more than a group of lying grifters who just bragged about murdering a boatload of people and are protecting a pedophile sex trafficking ring pretending that they are, despite all their actions, Christians.
"Evidently China is farther along in its project than I realized, because Xi has reached the point where he no longer humors Trump. Which means that the Chinese believe America’s decline is terminal."
When even Rand Paul thinks you’re despicable.

Socialism for me, rugged capitalism for thee. These idiots are shameless. And stupid.

it's Saturday, and it's time for "this week in stupid: September 6 edition" — Morning Joe blithers, Senator Kennedy dithers, and so much more... thanks for reading, and please sign up for my daily newsletter so you never miss a post —
This is an actual exchange from a VP who took an oath to defend the constitution and, as a citizen, is expected to abide by the law. May we one day have accountability for the grotesque lawlessness of this regime.
The President of the United States is threatening to go to war with an American city. This is not a joke. This is not normal. Donald Trump isn't a strongman, he's a scared man. Illinois won’t be intimidated by a wannabe dictator.
I can’t stop laughing!
Republicans are truly trying to see just how stupid the American people are.
OMG are they really going with this story now? NOW? Okay. In that case, release the FBI informant files.
This is not a new revelation. This BS story has been out there for years. How about this - release ALL the files unredacted except victim info and let’s see exactly what Trump’s relationship with him was, so we don’t have to take the word of the man who is blocking their release.
If Donald was an FBI informant (that’s too funny), he would have been bragging about how he brought down Epstein years ago. I’m beginning to think Republicans are only trying to test how stupid the American people can be.
What a f’ing joke. A really sick f’ing joke. Who on earth is voting for these assholes? And if this were true it would be in the damn files FFS.
Today we learned that in June the US economy lost jobs for the first time since 2020. We haven’t seen this kind of net job loss since - well, since the last time Trump was in charge.

My god
Nothing says, "Hey international companies, bring your manufacturing to the US" like arresting 475 workers at a Hyundai (70% of whom are South Korean).

A decade ago, the Heritage Foundation went full meltdown about how Obama was an imperial president when he had issued about the same number of executive orders -- though he had reached it after six years, not six months.
The Republican leader of the committee refused to require RFK Jr. to swear in before his testimony. He can lie without committing perjury.
Soybeans are collapsing because China isn’t buying them. The farm economy is in deep trouble. Because of our needless trade war that we are clearly losing. Maybe farmers will wake up

Massie (R) says Republicans are being threatened by Trump to not support the release of the files. As one does when one is totally innocent!
Moments after President Trump posted a distorted photo of Rosie O’Donnell (along with a threat to revoke her citizenship), Governor Newsom’s official press account posts a distorted photo of Trump.
It's Time to Release the Epstein Files. People who fight this hard to hide something have something to hide. open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...
The orange wankmaggot made it 100% crystal clear that he is a child sexual predator with his comments today. He knows that releasing those files, THE ONES HE REPEATEDLY SAID HE’D RELEASE IF ELECTED, will ruin him.

The brain dead, drooling morons that watch that non-stop Russian propaganda are the worst of us.
I wish somebody would ask him to specifically list the "seven" or however many wars he claims to have ended and then hand him a map and ask him to show us on it where the wars were.
🎯
As Trump shows his incompetence in foreign policy, we are losing our allies and pushing our enemies closer together. In 8 months, Trump has effectively undone 80 years of American global leadership. We are much less safe under Trump.
Donald Trump, speaking almost simultaneously with the Epstein survivors: “This is a Democrat hoax” Just a disgusting lie-in every sense •It’s not the Democrats •It’s not a hoax •And he could easily clarify everything by releasing the files But he won’t-and I think we all know why
I know, I know, but: The president of the US saying, literally, "we're going in" in reference to sending the military to an American city for no reason beyond terrorizing the local population should be the most immediately impeachable shit imaginable

They take responsibility for absolutely nothing. In 2028 they will still be blaming Biden and Obama for their failures. bsky.app/profile/atru...
Republicans: Fear of Trump > Justice for survivors
Guess which network is ignoring the survivors? Fox isn’t news.
The overall takeaway from the Epstein survivors’ press conference is that they are united and are no longer going to allow rich and powerful men to victimize, silence and intimidate them. Including the ones in Congress and the perp in the Oval Office.
They paid out a billion dollars in settlements for knowingly lying to intentionally deceive their own audience. As their own internal emails/texts showed in discovery, they have nothing but contempt for their own viewers and laugh at them all the way to the bank. bsky.app/profile/acyn...
Republican men standing with Trump against the Epstein victims to maintain the cover up.
In the aftermath of Emmett Till's lynching, white supremacists called for federal troops to invade and occupy Chicago. "If the federal government intervenes in the interests of law enforcement anywhere, it should start in Chicago, crime capital extraordinary." h/t @larryglickman.bsky.social
2. Red states have a 40% higher murder rate than do Blue states. FORTY PERCENT HIGHER! So, if Trump *actually* wanted to pretend he was protecting Americans from being killed, he’d have the National Guard occupy Red states not Blue states. But nope—He’d rather troll blue cities & blue states. 3/5
🚨🚨🚨”What we heard today is a cover up. And it is a cover up of epic proportions. A cover up involving the US government, the justice system, rich and powerful individuals… and yes, a cover up by republicans in this chamber.”
Sure looks to me like Confederate states’ militias are preparing to invade Union states on behalf of our traitor-loving president…
Trump will do all he can to “fix” the 2026 and 2028 elections to secure MAGA victories by every method he can muster, however blatantly illegal and unconstitutional, whatever the courts might say. If every eligible voter shows up, we can overwhelm his schemes. Otherwise, our way of life is doomed.
Vance follows a coterie of online Nazis on X, has described Curtis Yarvin as a major intellectual influence, and openly attacks immigrants in blood and soil terms. The response of most of the political press? "Doesn't look like anything to me."
"The GOP is signing on to mass murder of children based on the novel theories of a man who has no party ties except a single Trump endorsement. It is a measure of the party’s utter hollowness, brokenness, and evil that even in this case, it can barely find the resources to demur."
Political theater.
Read this a few years ago… a quick, easy read. Hilarious and 100% spot on. Rick Reilly nails the criminal orange rapist moron. Highly recommend!
This is a GREAT book!

The real truth behind Trump’s lie on mail-in ballots is that he cannot suppress the vote as easily as when they establish few polling places leading to long lines and armed guards standing by to intimidate voters. And those damn Dominion Voting machines!
this now brings us up to six (!) grand jury refusals to charge (that we know about), plus two cases filed as part of the dc surge dismissed on the us attorney's office's request
Energy from the sun won’t solve every crisis we face — by itself, it won’t solve any of them. But it’s the one light flashing green, not red, the one wild card poking out of a rigged deck and begging to be played. www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...
In the cheap fun category: Trump posted this morning that he had raised $8 trillion, or $65,000 per household, from import taxes (tariffs) so far this year. Every Republican in Congress can be asked if they agree with Trump's numbers.
The Trump family’s historic, obscene corruption continues. The right wing freaked out over Hunter for allegedly making a fraction of this, meanwhile the Trumps are doing this all out in the open and they are silent. 🦗 🦗 www.wsj.com/finance/curr...
Your reminders: Trump ended the National Cryptocurrency Enforcement Team which investigated crypto-related crimes like fraud and money laundering. Trump also fired the ethics watchdog overseeing corruption in the executive branch. This is just another Trump family scam.
That’s because former Fox host Jeanine Pirro was unable to get the grand jury to indict her, which is conveniently left out here.
Someone pointed out that the announcement only says “The President” will make an announcement. Doesn’t say President Trump.
If the announcement is that he came back to life, he’ll say he’s eligible for two more terms.
And where is the hair?
Here’s what acting like an authoritarian shitweasel and pushing your allies / partners around nets you… NOTHING. Xi is kicking the orange rapist moron’s ass thirteen ways to Sunday. The US is an international pariah and embarrassment.
Today is the first day of public trading for Trump’s crypto scam.

V. Pootey is laughing his (tiny) dick off at the orange criminal rapist moron. He went to Xi’s party to stick his thumb right in the fraudulent dickhead’s eye. Pootey, Modi, and Xi are all laughing hysterically at the idiot US voters elected.

He’s providing them with valuable mulching experience though.
NEW: A week or so ago, one federal agent kept popping up in videos from Trump's violent DC crackdown—so @jsweetli.bsky.social and I investigated. Turns out he's a 26-year-old US Parks Police officer, a lesser known law enforcement unit currently championed by Interior Sec. Doug Burnum. Our report:
New Mexico has issued a public health order that removes federal restrictions to COVID-19 vaccine access so that pharmacies in New Mexico can vaccinate people of all ages and risk profiles. Every state need to do this!
senior fellow at the Manhattan Institute, former chief economist to Senator Rob Portman (R-OH) & director of budget and spending policy for Marco Rubio’s 2016 presidential campaign👇🏽
The White House posts that the US has now taken in $8 Trillion in tariff revenue so far. Preposterous insane lies on an hourly basis.
If Missouri Republicans mid-cycle redistrict and break the law, they will be sued. That is a promise and I don't bluff. Just ask Texas. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...
Trump is again threatening Chicago with a takeover on social media. We will again say those who trade liberty for the illusion of temporary safety deserve neither. We are not, and will not become, a military state. Remember freedom is something they can never take away, no matter what they tell you!
Just hoping he dies before Biden. Karma.
This is good: With Trump/RFK destroying CDC, JB Pritzker's officials are exploring the possibility of buying Covid vaccines from manufacturers and distributing them in-state themselves, source tells me. Dem govs must step up and fill the void. New piece from me: newrepublic.com/article/1998...

Many words never seen before.
Please call JD Vance to set up a meeting with Donald. The sooner, the better.
All kidding aside, suffering from both leprosy & syphilis at 79 is no joke, but I am sure whatever cure RFKjr is mixing up will get him back on the golf course in no time.
We want to apologize if it feels like we’ve been venting a lot lately. It’s just hard to ignore that nearly every move from this administration seems to be illegal, unlawful, or outright unconstitutional and yet nothing happens.
guys please please don't jinx this
The More We Know
I’m a white guy who needs to have his yard landscaped. Can someone send the national guard to my house too?
The warfighters in DC got the trash picked up, now time to mulch.
So not only do churches NOT have to pay taxes, they're going to get YOUR tax dollars to boot. This seems like oh, I don't know, government establishing a religion in violation of the First Amendment?
there is no question in my mind that rfk jr is the most dangerous person in this administration and that his eugenicist ideology threatens the lives of millions of people www.advocate.com/politics/dem...
