Everyone bent backwards for him, and still he whined about being persecuted.
I dunno, a bunch of people have already suffered for it.
But most Americans don't know the history of smallpox, let alone the plague. And our government is in the hands of the Project 2025 Christofascists who want us ignorant and helpless, sinners trembling in the hands of an angry God.
9 CDC Directors going back to 1977 speak out. What RFK Jr has done to our nation’s public health system "should alarm every American." It "is unlike anything we have ever seen at the agency, and unlike anything our country has ever experienced." www.nytimes.com/2025/09/01/o...
On the other hand, many a third-world police state pays their thugs by letting them keep everything they can extort from the citizenry. That may be next.
You're talking about 45's fall 2020 brush with death?
The piéce de résistance
Supposedly a prosecutor could get a grand jury to indict a ham sandwich. The sandwich was a witness, and Judge Box-o-Wine couldn't get the indictment.
If Wikipedia goes AI, I'm withdrawing my editing privileges. Not that I use them that much.
Even in Club Fed, being a pedophile can get you shanked.
He's got a face for radio and a voice for print.
Unfortunately, when I was traveling as a kid with my family in the 1960s, my father would call that kind of small roadside place a "ptomaine castle." There was a lot of distrust which fed the boom in restaurant chains along the highway.
Oh, yeah...how have the tariffs impacted them?
I have to admit that continuing to act like what I do matters has been pretty tough this year.
The new law is an invasion of privacy, as the required proof of age reveals too much about your personal information. Like an ID.
NOW will the RW media twig to how Newsom's social media feed is lampooning the Felon in Chief, rather than just aping him?
DC statehood now. Or, preferably, yesterday. Along with statehood for Puerto Rico.
Indeed, this indicates how much of "American culture" is tied up with commercial branding, rather than, you know, songs you sing with your children. The Kultur of the Volk no longer involves folk culture.
The fascinator really makes this outfit.
From someone who says he's a longtime National Guardsperson.
And he still won't get to see his wife and kid. This is evil. He is not guilty of any crime.
And has raided John Bolton's home.
Not true. He's sent several warships in the direction of Venezuela. What they'll do when they get into the vicinity -- in international or Venezuelan waters -- is anyone's guess.
Botanists. Ecologists. Oh, but what do they know about taking care of a golf course? Or, rather, hiring people to take care of it for you?
I fail to see what's woke in the redesign. Is the person on the chair a Black trans woman?
As a self-published comics creator who has, occasionally, shipped items from the US to Europe, I say: God DAMN. This is going to hurt my colleagues around the world -- and ultimately it will hurt me.
It may have to wait a few decades, like Steve Buscemi playing Khrushchev in _The Death of Stalin._
My suspicion is that Krasnov offered a *lifting* of current sanctions if Putin agreed to a cease-fire. And that offer must have come out in the morning meeting that nobody else was allowed in, which is why the rest of the day's activities were cancelled when Putin turned him down flat.
Said governor has a hired social media person to take care of this stuff. Too bad the mock-heroic AI glurge has started circulating; it won't be mock- for long.
Grrrrr
The success and brightness that can be celebrated in this context are the Abolitionist movement, the Underground Railroad, and other acts of resistance to slavery. Frederick Douglass, Harriet Tubman, Robert Smalls, and more.
🇺🇸 National Guard soldier speaks out: “I swore an oath to defend our constitution… seeking refuge is not an act of violence. Locking people up for it is.”
Ah, the art of simultaneously showing T and A.
He reminded me of Turkmenbashi in 2016, and he reminds me of him even more in 2025. Turkmenbashi had a golden statue of himself set up in the middle of the capital. When he died, his successor moved the statue to the suburbs.
*Crimean
Is this why DC restaurants are reporting a loss of business?
Let's add Stalin's forced migration of the Crumean Tatars to Central Asia, an act that had such a high death rate that the government of Ukraine has designated it a genocide.
All of us stand to lose if the medical achievements of the past two centuries are allowed to fall.
Think it'll work? Or will Dyadya Volodya release the kompromat we always figured he had?
It's my understanding that there was a homeless encampment nearby...and the feds cleared out all their stuff. Leaving the homeless even more homeless, as in noplace to go.
I was going to say....
An ill-favoured thing, but mine own.
Hurrah.
The proverbial ham sandwich that normally he could get an indicyment for?
Pet owners will already have bags of poop easily sourced.
Cheers for Anchorage! Slava Ukraini!
The election that will be "fair" only by their definition.
He lied in his confirmation hearings. (So did most of 47's nominees.) He's already gotten American children killed, and the elderly and disabled are next in line. Impeach him now.
Hugs to my pals in Latvia.
The beginning looks like he's trying AS HARD AS HE CAN to stay awake. By the end it looks like he's trying AS HARD AS HE CAN not to laugh at the bullshit being spewed.
I'd pay to see that.
Grrrrr
Creator of daily strip FoxTrot adds to the parade of Them Damned Pictures. Keep 'em coming, my colleagues.
Calling Mrs. Malaprop....
It's a parody of one. Unfortunately, I suspect that MAGAts will start passing this around as an example of how "unhinged" the "loony left" have become.
Indeed. The current mayor of Baltimore has substantially cut crime with a multi-pronged approach -- not only youth programs and community services, but better police ACCOUNTABILITY. Which improves community TRUST in the police. Broken window enforcement has failed.
Violence against women is only an issue when they can make racist hay out of it.
How would she have known when Bondi discussed with 47 his being named in the files?
He thinks New York is as crime-ridden as it was in the Son of Sam summer. Just as he thinks low-flow toilets are as ineffective as they were in 1995.
Reading Catch-22 in 7th grade explains a lot about me. Though to be fair, all my classmates were passing it around and pointing at the "naughty bits" and giggling.
Yes. We passed that point several months ago.
There's the incentive!
That coyld work, actually. Somehow I don't think it will happen, though.
So that's how you vibrate every atom in your body to pass between the atoms in the wall?
Why, yes, I go on LinkedIn, but nowadays only when I'm posting about an upcoming event of mine. Why do you ask?
"Get it all on record now. Get the films. Get the witnesses. Because somewhere down the track of history some bastard will get up and say that this never happened." – Dwight D. Eisenhower, Germany, 1945
Which means that the Republican Party has the reverse moral hierarchy of prison inmates. Who will shank a child abuser without a second thought.
She’s the daughter of a tycoon, so even if she doesn’t have much net worth of her own, she’s used to having big bucks. Which no doubt is why she was in Epstein’s orbit in the first place.
OMG DEI!!!!
“You can’t quit, you’re fired.”
No amputees need apply.
Don’t insult twats by comparing them to him!
Only if you’re poor, and especially non-white.
The Slumlord in Chief hates dogs anyway.
We should only refer to her as “convicted perjurer Ghislaine Maxwell”.
At least those have the power of cute going for them.
OP is pathetic. The photo itself is not even a picture of toughness, but a sad pose.
Every time Ghislaine Maxwell is mentioned it must be repeated that she is a convicted perjurer. On that basis alone, any testimony she gives is suspect.
It’s like the companies themselves and their assets don’t actually matter — it’s all moving money around at a level totally detached from the product (which is not the programming but the audience).
You would think JUST ONCE by the laws of probability if he was doing this all as a giant distraction, that ONE of those distractions would be like… a basket of kittens. If literally every single distraction is a basket of kitten HEADS, that’s not a distraction, it’s him being Skeletor.
It hasn’t stopped them from diverting funds for other pet projects. Congress is prostrate.
"I luff GOOOOOLLLLD!" youtu.be/sr0gNJ090JA?...
No undergraduate degree DESIRED. It might have made you too cosmopolitan. (Wait, if you don't have an undergrad degree, why do you need the student loan forgiveness they're offering?)
Next thing they’ll have is work requirements for the fire department to show up if you have a fire.
Is it true that local police and sheriffs’ departments are upset that they’re losing some of their cops to ICE? Seriously, where else are you going to get henchmen who love to beat on minorities?
weird how the guy born into obscene wealth, bailed out repeatedly, allowed to fail upwards forever until he fell ass-backwards into the presidency, and then was declared by the Supreme Court to be a Very Special Boy Who Can Crime Forever never stops whining about how everything is rigged against him
Historically, there have always been parts of the segregated South where black and white kids played together — even though they couldn’t go to school together. My old man, a Kentucky boy, and his siblings grew up playing with the black kids in town.
Trofim Lysenko at work again.
What, and give up the place on the Vineyard? (Also, the Kennedy family no longer has significant political heft outside Massachusetts. Especially after our own Trofim Lysenko bombed in his presidential bid.)
Step outta line, the Man come and take you away.
=cough= USA-PATRIOT Act =cough=
He's believed for his whole life that rules are for little people.
His job is to work for the USA, not for the party.
So the point of releasing them -- at least unredacted -- is to put a bull's-eye on the back 9f every victim and witness who isn't already publicly known.
Friendly reminder:
We need to know more about what happened last year in Butler, PA. And not just sit and speculate.
Butler: The forgotten assassination. Did anyone ever interview the survivors of the guy who actually got killed?
Bluesky absolutely needs a reaction other than heart. I hate hearting things that I want to acknowledge but find horrifying.
Damn, and I paid good money for my Getting-Hit-on-the-Head lessons.
If they do everything they can possibly think of and nobody is there to cover it, does it make a noise?
