Retired MD who’s also a Boaltie JD (& a ‘mustang’ vet). PS that Khrushchev quote isn’t an endorsement; it actually Putin’s dream come true, thanks to our own Manchurian POTUS, DT.

It’s not like this guy couldn’t have just walked up the staircase like the other 1/6 trespassers who are seem standing above him did, but no: he had to pretend like he was an extreme free-soloing rock climber ascending the cliffs of Normandy on D-Day, when he’s a Delta Farce Couch Commando. 🤣
So the public knows the deal, not just oversight. bsky.app/profile/tizz...
This week, Oversight Committee Dems are meeting with many of the victims of Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell. We will listen to their stories and continue our work to seek justice against anyone responsible for these horrific crimes.
BTW, here’s the movie, worth a watch for anyone interested in seeing how politics was depicted in film in 1964 (same period when LBJ passed Civil/Voting Rights Act, so US was divided over integration). Robertson plays McCarthy archetype vs Fonda’s paralysis of analysis archive.org/details/the-...
Be nice: Rudy’s been in a horrific auto accident & doctors fear he may never be able to unzip his pants again to molest what he thought was an underaged girl! Peds gotta stick up for each other! (That list of ped- or ped-friendly needs to be updated to add Rudy, as I forgot about Borat incident)
If you're 60, 69.1% of all job growth since your birth occurred under Democratic administrations. If you're 45, that number is 74.7%. If you're under 28, the number is 100%. Happy Labor Day.
Hey Congress – make Alex Acosta's testimony public and televised. There's absolutely no ethical reason for it to be private and transcribed. Nefarious AF. We need to hear your questions. We want to see him squirm. We need to see him squirm. Yet another sign of a cover-up.
Jury’s still out whether Nate Silver will be found guilty on one count each of concern trolling, tone trolling, or both!
So much so, the Vietnamese people spontaneously decided to travel across the globe to Europe (Nestle) just to see if they could purchase some of their delicious canned condensed milk to use in Vietnamese coffee, knowing fresh milk would never survive without spoiling on the lengthy trip home!
Yes, it’s those tricky A-Rabs again, riding on the backs of their time-traveling DeLorean camels to French Morocco to erase the entire premise which the 1942 film classic “Casablanca” was based! How low will they stoop next? 🤣
I wonder if Rudy needs help locating competent personal injury lawyer? Because based on the way he lost all of Trump’s election law challenges, even if Rudy hadn’t been disbarred, any lawyer he picks randomly out of a phonebook would be more competent than he was….
I was watching Fonda/Cliff Robertson called “The Best Man” (1964) setting of a contested primary convention, and one of the candidates talked about repealing 19th amendment, so it’s not exactly a new idea in conservative politics. (Interesting flic, esp nowadays when bigotry & misogyny is on rise)
DT’s a masterful troll who’s manipulated MSM for decade, & large %age don’t realize DT will even beclown himself (by spelling a word wrong, etc) in order to change the narrative. Worse, MAGAT base know DT lies to troll, & laughs at “smart” Dems for taking bait (they think they’re in on the joke).
Difference between a husky and border collie... 👀😅🤣 #dog #dogday #bluesky
If you enjoy… Weekends Safe working conditions Retirement benefits Paid vacations Breaks at work Sick leave Paid holidays … then you’re part of the labor movement. Happy Labor Day.
Here’s a slightly cleaner version of the meme I just made, a take on the Encanto song about things we don’t talk about, whether it’s Bruno or Jeffrey.
We won’t be distracted by the Pedophile in Chief, no matter how much he tries to get us to talk about ANYTHING else. As if by magic overnight, DT recruited his MAGAT base to be foot soldiers defending an elite ring of global pedophiles they always whined about holding to justice. They don’t GAF
MAGAT’s acceptance of expertise is very selective, & they only accept it if conclusions of experts confirms their pre-existing biases. Yet they love Shapiro, whose slogan is “facts don’t care about your feelings”. At least their hypocrisy is consistent, being one of the few traits fascists value.
In a national poll, 9 out of 10 American flags prefer Governor Gavin Christopher Newsom.
At least we’re not talking about Jeffery, which is the entire point of all of this silly culture wars flak DT’s throwing out like a madman to change the subject to anything else…
MAGATs demand Dems be subject-matter experts to call for AR-15 bans but are OK w/ RFK Jr. @ CDC setting measles vaccine policy even though he couldn’t tell us if measles is caused by a virus or bacteria, never-mind name the pathogen (Morbillivirus) that causes it even if we held AR-15 to his head 🙄
Trump wants you to forget Epstein. Or at least, trust the lady whose been convicted of the crime. My latest adamkinzinger.substack.com/p/maxwell-th...
Followed by bans on watching dangerous seditious movies like Footloose (showing Kevin radicalizing rednecks by teaching them how to dance), charging everyone in attendance at movie night for conspiracy to commit expressive crimes.
Commence countdown until DeSantis orders water-dropping aircraft to protect Floridians not from wildfires, but from dangerous thoughts scrawled onto sidewalks with chalk.
The Free State of Florida is now trying to ban *sidewalk chalking*
I’d bet guy in 1st pic is defo harassing brown people for ICE now, since FBI had his name and address on file after he was convicted (then pardoned and hired by DT).
RULE ABOUT AMERICAN FLAGS: If you burn the fabric part, you're looking at jail. But it you use the pole part to assault a police officer, you get a presidential pardon, praise, and some cash.
Initial explanation was it was a domestic dispute over child custody (version that travelled the World), when it turned out he didn’t know the women he stabbed after gun jammed; he left a manifesto where he expressed hatred for women & children. Sadly, aborted mass shootings don’t make the news.
We had an incident this week of a would-be mass shooter armed w/ AR-15 & 700 rounds who wanted to go on a hunting expedition in Westfield Topanga Mall (Woodland Hills, CA). Fortunately his gun jammed after firing off a few rounds (he was discharged from Army for schizophrenia & PTSD in 2023).
Odd how many times it’s, “The only thing that can stop a bad guy with a gun is same bad guy with a gun who committed a mass school shooting but took the cowardly way out by committing suicide”. Seems like that’s a pretty good reason to prohibit semi-autos specially designed to be weapons of war.
Who knew God’s Will boils down to a popularity poll, as if God is looking at hoi polloi crowd in the Coliseum to decide whether the gladiator lives or dies? If they don’t get it after a gunman murders kids praying in church, it’s unlikely they’ll get it from Larry David, but it’s still funny…
Frey: And don't just say, this is about thoughts and prayers right now. These kids were literally praying. It was the first week of school. They were in a church.
The elderly Pedo In Chief will say absolutely anything incredibly stupid just to get everyone from talking about his ongoing Epstein coverup…
Pedophile In Chief DT is always looking for a way to divert media attention away from his documented history of paling around with his pedo BFF Jeffy, so rename that Encanto parody, “we don’t talk about Epstein” and you’d be hitting the nail squarely on the head.
It’s at this point where I respond to MAGAT morons in the only language they can possibly understand, the childhood retorts they heard on the schoolyard (eg “he who smelt it dealt it”, and this classic delivered by PeeWee):
Moore: "The thing that gets me most about this is how deeply disrespectful this is to members of the National Guard who signed up for this job as I did when I deployed overseas & led paratroopers in combat where we signed up w/the expectation the commander in chief was actually taking it seriously"
“Telling you?” Why do you think I’m a mind reader who knows what you (or others readers, for that matter) already know? Get over yourself: Bluesky or any other social media side is not just all about you.
Makes me smile. FAFO trump states. amp.cnn.com/cnn/2025/08/...
NEW: Donald Trump is betting the courts won’t stop him from firing a Federal Reserve board member “for cause” — and legal experts think he may be right. That would leave a ‘supine’ Congress and market forces as the only remaining checks w/ @joshgerstein.bsky.social www.politico.com/news/2025/08...
Who did this?
& of course, here’s DT showing his solemn respect for US flag by grabbing it by its stripes… This EO isn’t about “protecting the flag”: it’s an attempt by Pedophile In Chief to distract media from covering latest developments in Epstein pedophile ring scandal (he’s running the coverup).
MAGATS: “Don’t anyone of you damned libruls dare desecrate the Amurikun flag! Also MAGATs:
Guys, conservative Federalist Society has been in decades-long struggle to seize control of SCOTUS (highest court in judicial branch) to achieve “judicial capture” so they can weed libs out of lower courts. They scored a TD in 2020. PBS had 2-part Frontline on this back in 2019: to.pbs.org/4gaBLdT
Maybe U didn’t take HS Civics, but no POTUS can overturn SCOTUS rulings by Executive Order w/ a stroke of a Sharpie, no matter how YUGE it is. Judicial Branch gets final say to decide Constitutionality of ALL laws & EOs: POTUS can’t overturn SCOTUS rulings; that’s not how ‘checks & balances’ work.
diverted to his EO publicity stunt is focus taken off his connections to guy & gal who ran elite pedophilia ring for wealthy males (guys like DT), so any news segments talking about flag burning is time unavailable to cover what’s happening in Epstein inquiry in House. It’s all Trumpstraction.
He’s a combat vet who clearly understands a document he took an oath to defend w/ his life (if needed) & likely coordinated flag burning w/ lawyers. ACLU will be all over this no-brainer case, but don’t be distracted: DT will do ANYTHING (incl. issuing Unconstitutional EO’s), as he knows attention
DT will do ANYTHING to change the subject, even issuing blatantly Unconstitutional Executive Orders, just so the media will be forced to cover it, rather than his links to ring of elite powerful males w/ a shared hobby (cue “I’m such a fan, I’m not just a client: I’m running the cover-up op!” )
Bridgegate was in 2013; 5-yr statute expired in 2018 on DT’s watch. By saying Christie “got away,” DT just made a public confession he failed his oath to faithfully execute the laws- an admission that’s impeachable, but he won’t be (MAGA Sens didn’t vote to convict 2x: 3rd time isn’t the charm).
Not just that, but DT just confessed yet again to violated his Inaugural Oath to uphold the Constitution, admitting to failing to “ensure laws are faithfully executed” during his 1st term in 2017 when Gov Christie was still prosecutable (5 yr statute of limitations expired on DT’s watch).🙄
As if to echo wise George, Abe Lincoln said this 70 yrs later (context was speaking on how to settle the dispute over abolition shortly before Civil War, which of course didn’t deter Confederacy from attempting to secede, with South attacking Ft Sumpter and thousands of lives lost in 4 bloody yrs).
Last quote says it all, as GW was speaking to Congress who knew he led Continental Army to defeat British: Rev War was “1 instance where usurpation was an instrument of good”, noting “it is customary weapon by which free govt is destroyed”. Peaceful resolution via Constitutional amendment, only.
Speaking about the Whiskey Rebellion GW planned to suppress, he said this: (see 1st pic, or link). bit.ly/3VivkvU After GW successfully suppressed it, he said this (see 2nd pic). & in his farewell address to Congress, he said “let there be no change by usurpation” (unlawfully or by force).
POTUS1 (Father of Our County) 1st tested Militia Clause during Whiskey Rebellion, as a need for its inclusion in the Constitution was highlighted by inability of Continental Congress to raise a militia to deal with Shay’s Rebellion (an armed insurrection) just before Constitutional Convention.
Oh @adamkinzinger.substack.com… your GOP NRA historical revisionist roots are showing. 😂 It’s one thing for Justice Story to wax poetic in a textbook, but quite another to say it where it actually matters: in a SCOTUS ruling! The idea of 2A serving as a check on tyranny isn’t found in any ruling.
DT’s a “xenophobic populist”, tapping into latent power of bigotry & xenophobia, taking LBJs warning as his secret to gaining political power. It’s hilarious Bluesky moderation placed an adult content warning on my post above, thanks to the pencil sketch DT drew in Epstein’s birthday book… 🙄
It’s sad how Qanon MAGATs who endlessly rantedabout elite Hil drinking adrenochrome of children (as if it’s the fountain of youth) see no problem after reading DT’s creepy note to BFF Jeffery, the convicted pedophile he paled around with, writing “enigmas never age” & talking about shared secrets.
Trump wearing a hat saying, “Trump was right about everything” doesn’t even raise an eyebrow with evangelicals who don’t blink when they read the Bible telling them the Bible is completely true. Self-validation (aka self-sealing belief) is a type circular reasoning that’s hard for MAGATs to grasp.
Yup, I bet Rupert Murdoch would like a word about DT’s practice of stealing employees (spoiler alert: it never was about stealing employees):
I bet Rupert Murdoch would like a word with DT about his practice of stealing employees:
Exactly. That’s what few people who’ve never served don’t understand: guardsmen have families & day jobs, so even though they’re willing to serve in their State during an actual natural disaster (think Katrina), they really don’t want to engage in political stunts & lose their income of their job.
That’s how much their bigotry overpowers their common sense: in the middle of hurricane season, Governors of States like LA, MS, & SC send their limited Natl Guard resources to engage in a political stunt (but since it means a Govt-paid trip to DC on TDY, I bet the troops don’t really mind…)
The GOP governors of South Carolina, Louisiana, Mississippi, and Tennessee have all sent their states' National Guard troops to assist Trump's occupation of DC. All four of those states have cities with crime rates higher than DC. This was never about "fighting crime."
The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that the Trump administration can, at least for the moment, move forward with ending Temporary Protected Status for about 50,000 people from Honduras, Nepal, and Nicaragua who had work authorization in the U.S.
The company running license plate tracking cameras across Colorado has insisted that immigration agents don't have direct access. Flock now says they were wrong. CBP has access. (Using license plate info for immigration enforcement is prohibited by Colorado law) #copolitics
The judge points out that the 76 pages of grand jury testimony are a drop in the well compared to the 100,000 documents the government could release.
Eric’s depression over everyone else stealing his trolling schtick (eg Clyde Donovan wins Charlie Kirk masterdebateor award) must channel the sentiment of fellow trolls Matt & Trey, as they’ve long called out DT for harnessing the power of trolling to cheat & win the most-powerful job in the World.
Apparently @poniewozik.bsky.social is unaware that having made a career out of trolling, Matt & Trey can easily spot a fellow troll, DT. To their credit, the pair featured a DT-like character in 2016 (Mr Garrison), but it was too subtle, so they now take the gloves off to relentlessly troll DT.
young girls trafficked by Epstein & Ghislane were from Eastern European Nations (Russia, Ukraine), it wouldn’t be surprising in least Putin willingly offered up underaged girls as “young Red Sparrows” & recorded kompromat, catching Epstein red-handed in the act. www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....
What real leadership looks like. Thank you, President Barack Obama, for standing strong with California, defending our rights, and fighting for the people of this nation.
GOP was salivating for Dems to pick ANYONE BUT Kamala: their election lawyers would’ve filed suit over FEC violation if anyone else stepped in (eg Newsom, who made it clear he WASN’T stepping in to challenge Kamala, as he also understands FEC law & how expensive running a winning POTUS campaign is)
Also, per FEC law, no other Dem candidate BUT Kamala would be able to access massive war chest ticket raised ($500M) & given limited time to fundraise after a new primary, Dems wouldn’t have enough time. KH/TW ticket fund-raised really well, supplementing existing war-chest JB/KH already raised.
Not that bit of idiocy… 🙄 In US, primary voters cast for TICKET (POTUS AND VP), & not just name on top of ticket. When primary voters cast for Biden/Harris, they voted for combo, & if Joe decides he’s not up to it, Harris is logical choice to replace. It’s like if POTUS died, VP would step in.
I like these, where you can feel the seethe & contempt BO has for Vlad (Obama used his height & gaze to mad dog Vlad, who’s now dog walking DT like he’s a toddler).
Sexual compromat isn’t always kompromat for pols like Sukarno, a lesson KGB & CIA found out when they threatened to release sex tapes (he asked for copies to show at campaign events). Vlad having Epstein files/videos WOULD be kompromat, as would Vlad’s evidence of FSB & IRA helping DT win in 2016.
I’ve always said if Putin had a pee tape, it wouldn’t have been kompromat for DT but a badge of honor: he’d post it on Truth Social (allegation is DT hired RU prostitutes not to pee on him, but to pee on bed BO & MO slept on a month before, in same Moscow Pres. Suite). MAGATs LOVE to troll libs.
It reminds me of this meme from DT’s first term, as if DT thinks he’s a contestant on “who wants to be a millionaire” who had to “phone a friend”…
I haven’t yet seen a MAGAT who wasn’t willing to sacrifice their dignity & humiliate themselves just to play the fool, just to troll (they call it “owning the libs”). They actually think they’re “winning”, but refuse to admit there’s more to governing than simply engaging in endless culture wars.
It’s amazing the lengths GOP will go to to try to prove their party correct, eg commence countdown until DT gives Putin AK, just to cover for VP-candidate Palin’s gaffe by literally making it true….
If Donald Trump negotiates an end to Putin's war on Ukraine without Ukraine having to cede territory, I'll nominate him for a Nobel Peace Prize myself. www.instagram.com/p/DNWgZq8Jh8V/
How can you tell it hasn’t already been crashed? 🤨
Newsom: If California, one of the most un-Trumped states in America, is not successful, it’s at our peril. We may not get this back. I’m telling you, we may not. He is rigging this next midterm election before one vote is cast. He tried to wreck our democracy after the last vote was cast last time.
“Revolution” ain’t an option… The only Revolution will be peacefully via ballot box (hence why Newsom’s gerrymandering fight is so important). Hopefully U haven’t been brainwashed by the pro-2A MAGAT camp who believes the NRA that weapons are to overthrow the Govt? Washington & Abe would disagree
Reporter: What’s going on with those posts on X that are clearly trolling the president? Newsom: I hope it’s a wake up call for the president. I’m just following his example. If you have issues with what I’m putting out, you sure as hell should have concerns with what he’s putting out
@gavinnewsom.bsky.social: "I think he should start with Shreveport, Louisiana, and Speaker Johnson's district that has 6x the per capita murder rate of Nancy Pelosi's San Francisco. What about the carnage, Mr. President, in Shreveport? Why aren't you protecting the folks there? What bullshit."
So I wouldn’t hold my breath waiting for Putin to face arrest in AK & be sent for justice to stand on trial before ICC in The Hague, as it’s one thing for Marcos to offer Pres.Duterte as a sacrifice to UN, but too much to expect DT to give up Vlad when there’s nothing UN could offer to DT.
Another value DT & Vlad share is their utter contempt for “globalist” UN. War criminals gotta cover for their fellow war criminals (Vlad & DT are BFF, such that if Epstein were alive, he’d be jealous).
Except that endorsement was given BEFORE 2024 election, and not after… Too many racist misogynists just couldn’t bring themselves to vote for the competent experienced black women, but instead preferred the white obnoxious ex-game show host guy who allowed them to let their bigot flags fly proudly.
Putin wins just by showing up on US territory & not being arrested by Feds, as Vlad’s got Int’l Criminal Court warrant over his head for war crimes committed in Ukraine. There’s no way Vlad would step on US soil if Kamala were POTUS (& Vlad can’t travel to UK or GE, as they’d honor UN warrant).
The GOP, for literally decades: we need more border patrol agents! Our border isn't protected enough! The GOP, 2025: border patrol agents are going to stand around in full combat gear in a suburb of Los Angeles.
BREAKING: LOS ANGELES (AP) - California Gov. Newsom calls for Nov. 4 special election on redistricting plan aimed at adding Democratic US House seats.
Most citizens are completely unaware of what acronym BRICS is, or how member Nations trade with each other to bypass Western sanctions (or to dodge DT’s tariffs, but it seems some staffer explained it to DT).
DT’s their guy, their spirit animal/avatar, someone they can live vicariously thru by watching his trolling antics (“owning the libs”), telling themselves if a know-nothing bigot like him can arise to POTUS sheerly through the power of trolling, some day they just might be able to do it, too…. 🙄
I always think of those innocent Sikhs that were murdered across US by bigots in the wake of 9/11, not knowing or caring about the difference between Muslims or Sikhs, just out to murder anyone with a beard and “towel wrap” as a pretense to do what they wanted to do en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Murder_...
Not really surprising, as we tend to forget that a shockingly large percentage of the US population can’t even find their own Nation on a globe if you held an AR-15 to their heads, never mind finding other countries (yet same Dunning Kruger types feel qualified to discuss foreign policy)
Having lived & practiced in Bakersfield, CA (Deep-Red Kern Co.), I always think of the typical redneck resident who couldn’t tell the difference between a Sikh, Hindu, or Muslim, much less know specifics of their theologies (few oil field workers care to take a course in comparative World religions)
Third time’s NOT the charm, & anyone who knows so little about how the impeachment process works shouldn’t be calling for it (better yet, give me the names of 18 GOP Senators who’ll cross aisle to join Dems to remove an unfit POTUS, even after GOP ran out aisle crossers (eg Flake, McCain, Sasse)).
