Ben smith would be more enjoyable with some maple syrup.
I think the term is jagoff. But perhaps I am splitting hairs.
I’m sorry, is there any reason we’re supposed to know who this is?
But I didn’t have any Salmon Mousse…
Lying, dumb, and a grifter.
This fucker is back?!?! Grrr
Shitshow waiting to happen on.ft.com/41sHC8D
RFK Jr: “If you’ve ever compared an unvaccinated kid to a vaccinated kid… you see the bright eyes, the engagement, the social interactions, the curiosity. And you compare them to the child who even had one or two vaccines, and they’re completely different.“ This man is an existential threat.
No. Thats his left. The purple Epstein tattoo is on the right hand.
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!
I’m not very good at da maphs but is 300 bil annuallized for 6 mos multiple trillions?
Hasn’t thought for one second, or just doesn’t give a damn, about the numerous studies reflecting the collateral damage inflicted by car chases.
Damaging how? The autocrat seems pretty impervious to whatever weak attacks the media has made so far and now the media is considerably weaker and cowed. They never did any damage so it’s hard to see how they start now.
PragerU is really just PropagandaU
With Trump’s death, Dems find themselves in disarray.
Trump death puts Dems in disarray.
Witkoff? That looks more like Bessent.
I sure as hell hope so.
Pretty popular with the NYTimes comment section people. A rather jarring read today.
I guess we will see. I got a very bad feeling from the start here, and am really hoping it's just breakfast.
they are going to find a way to make "cause" expansive, and applicable to activities not related to on job performance. Also, likely to look at it as confirmation hearing fraud, not being truthful upfront, etc. So many ways for this to go off the rails. And Cobb seems open to all of them.
and it looks like the market is seeing that this is not going well and that Fed independence is disappearing
this is not going well
"We’re looking at a battle between RFK Jr. and Elon Musk for who has racked up the most deaths around the world. We’re not talking about the hundreds or thousands, but potentially even millions." On the pod @donmoyn.bsky.social is fantastic on CDC mess and Leavitt BS newrepublic.com/article/1998...
You keep telling yourself this, and yet…
Deep dark Yankees dive. I will let my father nowhere near this after Tex. it would kill him.
It’s. Just. Kat.
OMG it’s Kat! She rocks.
One half of this guy looks, and probably is, completely insane.
I have never seen so many public servants protest the mismanagement of a government. Trumpists will point to this as proof of the deep state, but the reality is that these are professionals who are desperately trying to get the public to understand how bad things are.
probably drives a Texlsa too. What an asshat. Gawd, the Yankees create so many fucking dickheads. (Looking at you Roger...)
Massive walkout underway at CDC. RFK jr. must resign so that we can be safe.
I don't know how you can stand this Joey. I really don't. Truly the theater of the absurd.
Having that SEND ME patch and his TX hat on what should be some sort of official uniform would normally be completely out of line. I really dont think this person is much beyond a bounty hunter.
I'm beginning to think this guy lives in some sort of alternate universe.
Ashley Babbit dishonored her service by committing insurrection against her country. While her death is absolutely tragic and I wish it hadn’t happened, the Air Force giving her honors is in itself a dishonor.
A former CDC staffer adds: “This is the work of a death cult.”
Sen Patty Murray (D-WA): “If there are any adults left in the White House, it’s well past time they face reality… We cannot let RFK Jr. burn what’s left of the CDC and our other critical health agencies to the ground—he must be fired.”
We are in very dark times. It’ll take an entire political/social movement, an overwhelming rebuke at the polls, and a new vision of governance to unstick this country from whatever this collapse is.
wtf is this nonsense? He thinks he can understand kid’s “mitochondrial challenges” just by looking at them? This is an insane person.
I, for one, am not laughing. But also, not surprised. Also, it looks like they have successfully gotten Epstein out of the news. So much shit to fling at the fan...sigh.

Yeah, ummmm, soooo, we certainly aren't doing 1, since that ship has sailed and is no longer visible on the horizon. And 2 looks incredibly unlikely. So, what are you saying, just a matter of timing?
That’s because it was salami!
Reset the shot clock Hal.
Left unspoken, the not so at risk aren’t going to be able to get one. Also left unsaid, eventually no one will be able to.
114 heading towards the inevitable traffic jam at Harrison st and Rt 1. Also, red cars are a great way to get tix. This guy (and it’s probably safe to assume it’s a dude) is really an idiot.
They have always been hypocrites above all else.
Reup: One thing many are missing abt Social Security whistleblower complaint is this: DOGE--including Big Balls, who has ties to criminal hackers--put ALL American Social Security data on an insecure AWS site AFTER SCOTUS GOPers intervened and let them do that. www.emptywheel.net/2025/08/26/a...
I remember after 9/11 when DHS came about, and I thought, this is a realllly slippery slope, and we will regret it. Scolded parents for watching 24, being sucked into the terrorist threat propaganda & loss of civil liberties. Warned them that this always turns inward. And here we are.
the richest man in the world buying a presidential election, getting run out of the administration for being a weird diva, then pivoting to jerking it to anime cartoons full time is somehow more Roman than anything that ever happened in Rome
Not as oppressive as the Gen Z moustaches at the gym.
99.9% pure Fascism
The Frankenstein Algorithm
It's probably a good thing for him now that he is so senile that he will never understand how he destroyed any legacy he hoped to have.
Haha, still time to short... (Um, I wouldn't DOO that if I were you.) Really no strong feelings on where this lands. Best guess is a slight miss, but not enough to crater AI complex, and line go up.
Thought they said wednesday! Dangit!
We're at the stage of nightmarish fascism where John Roberts and his right wing colleagues allowed Ed "Big Balls" Coristine -- a kid with ties to criminal hackers -- live access to all Americans' social security data. www.emptywheel.net/2025/08/26/a...
The IRA was surprisingly effective at spurring investment in green energy. Where it failed was making it *politically* sustainable by delivering immediate tangible benefits to the public. In that sense, the Green New Deal was, in retrospect, the more prudent and realistic approach. on.ft.com/4n4Ayra
Donald Trump is waging a fascist takeover of the United States. Democrats are responding the only way they know how: by heeding the advice of the wonks who helped get them into this situation — and whose advice is to avoid discussing what Trump is doing. More: www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...
This guy? niccarter.info/about/ Yeah, he is utterly full of his own shit and an absolute hypocrite.
If we somehow make it to a place where we have elections again, maybe lets elect true progressives who know fascism when they see it and not centrist performative democrats who will never side with the people unless there is $$$$$ in it for them. I dont know, just a thought.
They’re making fun of the media referring to Kilmar Abrego Garcia as a Maryland man as they threaten to send him to Uganda, a country where he’s never lived. They’re simply fucking vile.
Utterly depraved.
No-one knows how this ends. And so the narrative shifts from pointless tariff uncertainty to pointless monetary uncertainty, and none of this helps the American people.
May yet
Didn’t actually fire her yet. But is certainly trying to. Which is bad enough. And maybe succeed.
He will not.
Tallow? Are you forking kidding me? A plethora of reasons for business failure, when any one of these epic bad decisions would spell doom in that industry. Someone must have told them the old, yeah, they put TacoBells wherever there is a McDonald's, and misinterpreted the lesson for site location.
An oral order was not sufficient for Drew Ensign on March 15.
Maybe they will remember to ask him about how he stumbled into the Jan 6 Capitol break-in, or the Nazi battleship in his office, or his postings online about Stop the Steal prior to wiping his account clean... I mean, one can dream. But if not, they could ask him about all of his publications. Ha
Never give these people the option. Just make it written. They will screw you with your own leniency.
so now we're a selective socialist dictatorship. ugh.
how is he going to hide both of those at the resolute desk now? Maybe Bondi can lend him a hand as part of the coverup.
Didn't take long to get to this...
Get a new doctor.
This might be the one useful thing in the world AI could do for us.
Actual human communication is dramatically more complicated that. Democrats have, without exaggeration, driven American democracy into a wall by outsourcing their brains to this class of hucksters, who pretend to insight but who have never successfully changed the public narrative on anything.
Once again: the military takeover of U.S. cities is not a distraction from the thing, it is the the thing
Everyone who was wrong about Trump — please say so openly to those who trust you and follow you. You have influence and thus bear responsibility.
And this situation has come about because a few years back, Republicans kept moving to the far right, and the Dem pols kept moving to the center when most of the base wanted to move left, except the Dem center rich types who are sort of DINO old school republican types
As a follow up, Dem pols tend to run away from the far lefts words, and are tagged with them to their disadvantage, and Reps are pretty OK with letting the Far right speak the words they cant or shouldnt speak (but increasingly are.) This takes away Dem's power to use Far right speech against Reps
Republicans use the words of the far-left against Dems, and the Dems use the far-rights words against Repbs. But the comparison is Far Left's sensitive/compassion/inclusive people's words against Far-Right fascist/racist/nazi language. And somehow, third way thinks it's a Dem prob, not a hate prob.
FWIW, "yours for the restoration of the Republic" was a common salutation American fascists gave to each other in the 1950s and 1960s. This is from a 1952 letter by Ohio white supremacist terrorist Peter Xavier. The rest of the rhetoric here might be familiar too.
I will go one step further, if you are rationalizing still being on a website where a very obvious neonazi is tipping the scales in favor of neonazis, you are an addict trying to justify your addiction. It's really not that deep my dudes
For context, it's worth noting that Maxwell has also claimed under oath that she never heard Epstein say or do anything like that either
That was one of the most batshit press conferences of Trump's public life. He brandished a photo of Putin and promised to deploy the US military to occupy Chicago, New York, and San Francisco. A sane country would be moving toward impeachment and removal right now.
This hat, in the oval office. We are in big big trouble.
Seems pretty clear that they want to go back to the Confederacy, restart slavery, etc. They are just as American as we are, as we were always two Americas. Our side is now losing the civil war that never really ended. The embers were always burning. The racism always there. Trump added kindling.
and yet, this sensible statement is from a guy who can't realize he needs to get off of X and stop funding the Nazi who brought this mess upon us. Why do you think we are where we are? In large part because of dumb historical choices WRT Elon Musk.
There is not taking back Xitter. The only thing you can hope to one day achieve is its irrelevance or destruction. That requires deplatforming Tesla, kicking SpaceX out of the govt, etc. A lot of work, but going through X isnt going to help a single bit. In fact, it just feeds the poisonous machine
OMG, people think they can take that Xithole back? Why would you even WANT to when you have bluesky? Just leave already. Gawd...
i'll say it again, my loud and vigorous support for any democrat who calls for televised hearings and criminal charges for everyone involved in DOGE. this guy should never be able to live in peace again.
14/ For Halimi and his family, those actions would have far-reaching consequences. Read the full story by @chrisbing.bsky.social and Avi Asher-Schapiro:
Oh, just wait. Shit is nowhere near the fan.
Luttig is communicating vastly more clearly and honestly about Roberts and Scotus than most Democratic officials are. It’s absolutely flabbergasting.
This is so, so bad. We have reached the point of the president's supporters calling other human beings cockroaches. It is making me lose my mind that evangelical Christians support this.
Also, we've barely seen any of the tariff to inflation pass through - and given the concern noted in the last Fed minutes on the inflation outlook, you'd need a huge negative job print on Sep 5 with further downward revisions to two prior months to get a cut.
