👏👏 I think it was the Fourth of July. Just direct me to the ‘man selling ice cream’.
“ILLEGALS” MY ASS! Green card holder Rami Othmane speaks out after being snatched off the street by ICE while driving to the grocery store. He’s a documented immigrant and the husband of Dr Wafaa Alrashid, chief of staff at a local hospital. He was locked in detention for 13 days.
Welch: Am American president talks to other American citizens like that, and propagandists come on TV and normalize this behavior. And nothing about this is normal. Nothing
Yesterday I did nine TV appearances in Europe and Asia about what turned out to be the debacle in Alaska. This one for (London) Times Radio is getting a lot of viewer attaboys from Canada to Berlin: youtu.be/m5mBjuCmZNk?... thank you so much David, video doing really well!
I really thought there would be mass rallies and strikes by now. Brazil and South Korea did what the US (AG Garland) failed so dismally to do and punish an insurrection. Actually, Ashli Babbitt & co are celebrated and rewarded. Insanity.
"As someone who has the cultural background of a grandfather who was killed fighting fascism in Greece, that's sort of embedded in my brain." Dr. Demetre Daskalakis sees eugenics at play in RFK Jr's anti-vaccine perspective.
We live in an upside down world where heroes are persecuted, while the wicked glide along.
Trump: "American does not have a gun problem." Notice he's behind bullet-proof glass in case another Republican tries to shoot him again. Hypocrisy is the lifeblood of Republican politicians.
Cringe that he needs it so desperately…and that they do it for him in a conga line of fluffing.
…and there will be zero consequences.
Feeble fealty

Pritzker: To the members of the press who are assembled here today and listening across the country, I am asking for your courage to tell it like it is. This is not a time to pretend here that there are two sides to this story.
Shorter lede - “The US elected an idiot”
making my way through the ken burns JAZZ documentary and this portion of his interview with dave brubeck — who passed in 2012 — is a reminder of how *recent* american history really is. start at :55 or so. youtu.be/stadqAHRroA?...
The Revolutionary War to Trump, with Homer Simpson representing the USA.
Y'all The ICE building in Portland is painting a line in front of their building But they don't even know how to spell government
“Why put off until tomorrow what you can do today?”
Mamdani, a guy who holds no office and has zero scandals, has gotten more scrutiny than the guy tearing up the Constitution every day in the White House.
There you have it folks, you can stop your yammering. President Trump says President Trump is right
THE STORY OF LIL DONNY BEING OBSESSED WITH FEEDING BROWN PEOPLE TO ALLIGATORS “In honor of Alligator Alcatraz being maybe shut down, let’s look back to years past when Donald Trump desperately wanted to build a moat across the entire border and fill it with alligators and snakes.” - Nick Muller
With all due respect, it feels like the ‘warning’ was before the election.
“I did try and fuck her….I moved on her like a bitch…And she was married…she's now got the big phony tits and everything…I just start kissing them. It's like a magnet. Just kiss. I don't even wait. And when you're a star, they let you do it. You can do anything. Grab 'em by the pussy.” DJT Sep 2005

🔥 STEWART: “This is the lie they tell you — that all this money flowing towards corporate interests is actually for YOUR benefit…. That government intervention for corporations is our ‘FREE MARKET’, but government intervention for workers is ‘SOCIALISM’.
Does Adderall ever get administered via an IV line?
In the meantime legacy media bent over backwards to assure us all the Project 2025 was not the policy of the Trump campaign. Still waiting for retractions/apologies on that one.
Mrs Beetrooter might be projecting with the “as thick as two short planks”.
On December 14, 2012, a mass shooter murdered 20 children, ages 6 and 7, and six adults at Sandy Hook Elementary in Newtown, Connecticut. Four days later, evangelical author James Dobson claimed the mass shooting was God's retribution for abortion and gay marriage. He died today at 89.
Newsom: We got here because the President is struggling. We got here because the President is one of the most unpopular presidents in U.S. history. We got here because he recognizes that he will lose the election.
Do you know how insane and infuriating it is to live in a country where one party claims, with media and public support, the mantle of being the ‘tough on crime’ party while its leader openly calls for convicted criminals to be released from prison ‘or else’?
Sometimes the sheer idiocy of this moment overwhelms me. The idea that our convicted felon POTUS who incited an attack on DC police then pardoned the attackers & who's the most corrupt official in US history is going on an "anti-crime" ride-along in a city w/falling crime rate is...(brain explodes)
Bravo 👏
Remember when getting caught doing something immoral or illegal would end a politician’s career? That was awesome.

All of the legacy media outlets that told us last year that Trump and the GOP really loved voting by mail and criticized me for saying it wasn't true were wrong. Now Trump is trying to ban VBM and he also wants to take over vote counting and certification. I hope they listen to me this time.
All done in broad daylight with no chance of any repercussions. Yes, there is illegality in DC, but all the law enforcement is impotent when it comes to government or their cohorts in business.
Remember when Trump lied about Project 2025? “To distance himself from Project 2025 amid the Democratic attacks, Trump wrote on Truth Social that he "knows nothing" about it and has "no idea" who is in charge of it.” (August 2024) www.pbs.org/newshour/pol...
Between his crypto ventures, real estate deals, and licensing agreements, Trump and his family have profited off the presidency to the tune of $3.4 billion. The grifter-in-chief knows no bounds. We must not become numb to this.
Where are the Pinocchios when we need them???
Every Democratic member of Congress should be in the streets of DC saying this dangerous authoritarian escalation must stop. Do they not grasp what’s going on here?
Has DeWine no access to Ohio’s crime statistics?
#ReleaseTheList #EpsteinFiles
Nearly as violent as a Subway sandwich to the chest. If there is no comment or response from Trump or his minions it seems to be less newsworthy to the MSM.
My nightmare - Soundtrack by Nickleback
Infuriating that a policy statement is evaluated based upon a (non verifiable) Hamas quote. Meanwhile, other terrorists are called non threatening names like “Israeli settlers” and the media is silent on their illegality, violence and the rabid support from within their government.
The suit claims the popular service may be recording and processing millions of users' private conversations without consent.
Grabbing, extorting, victim-blaming. We're talking about Trump's foreign policy. ICYMI @saletan.bsky.social: www.thebulwark.com/p/trump-mess...
Remember: There is nothing natural or inevitable about extreme inequality; it’s the result of an economic system that values wealth and power over human dignity and justice. It doesn't have to be this way.
the thing about Trump and Putin meeting is that Russiagate was basically entirely correct and the fact that the media bought Bill Barr's Mueller Report cover letter saying "he didn't do it" hook line and sinker remains a national disgrace
Surprised Hannity didn’t also credit ol’ Bone Spurs with ending WW1…
A “Pursuing Peace” backdrop as Donnie Dorko waxes lyrical to Fluffer Hannity about “Vladimir” and his praise is way too many levels of nauseating. Also, no one’s forgotten that Trump was told by Bondi he’s in the Epstein files.
Excuse me, but that’s not right. Dumb is with a capital D. Thank you for your attention to this matter!
Trump has the attention span of a toddler…along with the full diaper.
He’s so tough with Russia. They’d already have hacked Epstein’s Trump kompramat.

She is weird in her inability to accept her font of conspiracy theories husband, a former heroin junkie with a brain worm (and disowned by most of his family), is not the issue.
Incels are known to have a ‘quick trigger’, but this is quite something to admit.
Ella Fitzgerald’s “Live in Rome” (with the legendary Canadian pianist Oscar Peterson) is one of my favourite albums. Sound quality is superb.
In news, masked authoritarian thugs use brutal excessive force in an attack on a military veteran, cowardly and dangerously from behind in Russ.. Bela… Hunga… Syr… excuse me *checks notes* America!?!?
Throwing a sandwich at a cop: REQUIRES 10-PERSON TACTICAL TEAM TO AREEST IN FULL RAID GEAR (even tho subject wanted to turn himself in) Beating a cop unconscious with a flag pole: “Go home. We love you.”

The Mooch is right

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

If only Schiff had been convicted of trafficking young girls (instead of not breaking any laws) Bondi and the GOP would have loved and protected him.
He said stop the war “in 24 hours” before the election. It’s almost as if he’s a narcissistic compulsive liar. Great attributes for a leader…if you want to destroy your own country. No wonder Russia/Putin wanted the guy stopping the release of the Epstein files to win.
Loved him and his passion for movies. #Vale
Anyone who accepts a Kennedy Center award at this point is a quisling to be shunned. No one with any self-respect would even attend this ceremony. I would hope that whatever TV network broadcasts these awards would get the lowest ratings imaginable.
There were 34 church leaders & christian school employees who were arrested, pled guilty and/or were sentenced to prison for child sex crimes in the month of July.
The US is perpetually heartbreaking in this moment in history. 💔
They go fast when they want to go fast and slow when they want to go to slow and the decision is *always* an ideological one.
FEEDBACK: Doug writes in about Denver's skyrocketing eviction rate. "Who f------ cares? Can't pay your rent? You get evicted. That's life."
You’re probably too young to remember George Benson’s hit “Turn Your Love Around” - it was co-written by Toto’s guitarist Steve Lukather (with Jay Graydon). Toto’s Steve Porcaro sent a song but QJ/MJ accidentally heard another (Human Nature) also on that cassette when it auto-flipped onto side b.

From the Heritage Foundation? The creators of Project 2025? You don’t say… The avalanche of lies from Trump prior to the election should be daily news.
The road to authoritarianism is littered with people telling you you’re overreacting.
Imagine if Joe Biden had confused Alaska with Russia
