Big whooshes, Dan
Come on, Dan. “We've always been at war with Eastasia.”
We're getting pretty Orwellian here. The National Guard has always patrolled our cities.
Paid to be stupid to sell shit to the truly stupid
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.
Wow imagine that
“There are those who would try to refuse the worker any effective power to bargain collectively, to earn a decent livelihood and to acquire security. It is those shortsighted ones who threaten this country with class dissension…” — Franklin Roosevelt, Sep. 6, 1936 www.thebulwark.com/p/labor-day-...
Breaking news: Trump Inc doesn’t care about the cogs in the authoritarian machine 🤔🔫
He’s providing them with valuable mulching experience though.
Yeah Fox has long before successfully eroded the faculties of their audience so comments like this are met with yawns
If I were charged with a federal crime, I’d hire Pam Bondi’s brother as my lawyer. Because I don’t think this is a coincidence.
Dr. Demetre Daskalakis, who resigned from the CDC, revealed that RFK Jr. has NEVER been briefed by CDC experts on measles, flu, or Covid: “No one from my center has ever briefed him on any of those topics…He’s getting his information from somewhere”
Maddening. The failure of the media
Trump’s about to sign an EO to “punish” flag desecration… but let’s not forget: on Jan 6, a rioter beat a Capitol police officer with an American flag. That man got a pardon. Spare us the fake patriotism.
Very Jabba like today
Policy based on his feelings of the authoritarian in charge. Solid manly stuff
Speaking of fees. Is Orban a paid consultant?
No matter what you think about Mr. Abrego Garcia, if you believe in due process you should be infuriated by this. The Trump admin is threatening to dump him in Africa as punishment for not pleading guilty to criminal charges they brought to avoid complying with a court order.
But that would require a spine and not wet noodles.
She had weeks to live and was covering it up. Fun times in the prelude to fascism
I give you the party of unfettered free trade capitalism, folks
Kindling?
The last line tells the story: Bolton was also named on the “Members of the Executive Branch Deep State” list in the book Government Gangsters published in 2023 by now-FBI Director Kash Patel.
Sarah, a victim/survivor of Epstein/Maxwell, & co-conspirators tells all. Listen. Feel. Believe. Demand #Justice4Survivors. #WhereIsTheList
-Trump just bought $100 MILLION in bonds -When Interest Rates go down, bond prices go up -Trump has been pushing for interest rate cuts he would personally benefit from Unheard of levels of corruption and grift. Yet Republicans say nothing.
ICE arrested a Maine police officer, originally from Jamaica, late last month—shocking local law enforcement officials who had been told by the federal government that their colleague was permitted to work in the U.S.. trib.al/LfaGu4v
Nothing matters except who is being criticized. Cognitive dissonance seems like a kindergarten term for what this is
We are watching this seasoned artist make a deal in finger paint
This is nearly $900 million that news entities have had to pay out for publishing lies about the 2020 presidential election. Yet Donald Trump, who lost by more than seven million votes, keeps repeating the Big Lie and makes it compulsory dogma for his employees.
BREAKING - Zelensky: “Russia must end this war, which it itself started.”
Yes it’s gaudy but it’s an old masterfully done gaudy. Trump just screams Home Depot
Cheaply achieved and gaudy. The ever obvious irony of la Trump
Judeo Christian values y’all
Newsom: He is a failed president. Who else sends ICE at the same time while having a conversation like this? Someone who is weak, broken. His weakness is masquerading as a strength. The most unpopular president in modern history.
Newsom: "He doesn't play by a different set of rules. He doesn't believe in the rules. As a consequence, we need to disabuse ourselves of the way things have been done. It's not enough to just hold hands, have a candlelight vigil, talk about way the world should be...we have got to meet fire w/fire"
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
Nothing means anything and the base still is at the trough
It’s good to know economic central planning, the heart of conservative aspirations for centuries, has finally come to fruition
Relationship abuse on a macro scale
The gunman who opened fire on the CDC headquarters in Atlanta on Friday was a 30-year-old who had become fixated with the coronavirus vaccine, officials said. The attack comes after the spread of false information around the vaccines and animosity directed at the agency, public health workers say.
This is the ‘accusation/confession ‘ epoch
Letter from FBI Director Kash Patel firing veteran FBI agent Walter Giardina, whose wife died of cancer last month at age 49. Patel accuses this agent, a Marine combat veteran, of “weaponization.” Many of his FBI colleagues told me he did his job scrupulously and ethically.
Incredibly depressing state of affairs
Every day, that demented old man makes the White House look even tackier, having workers glue gold-spray-painted polyurethane bric-a-brac to every available surface. Who knew it was even possible in the United States to stand out for your vulgarity?
On left: ABC: Ghislaine Maxwell told "Blanche that Trump had never done anything in her presence that would have caused concern." On right: Maxwell said same about Epstein, under oath. DOJ 2022: "Simply put, the defendant lies when it suits her." Whatever is the truth, she's no source for it.

Earlier this year, I made two trips to Sudan, where a terrible civil war has displaced 14 million people. The state is absent, international institutions are weak.Outside powers, motivated by greed and nihilism, have stepped into the vacuum www.theatlantic.com/magazine/arc...
Well past Margaret Atwood novels
Well, I’m gonna insist that you listen to this. Definition of terms: “these people” = Latino migrants “Inner city people” = Black people “We tried to get them [inner city people] to do it” = slavery & sharecropping
🤦🏻♂️
As we know he has a certain… demographic
Um first of all we can’t even build one here or at least not in under a decade.

Birds of a feather….. This mother fuc*er is part of a huge flock.
Our lying eyes
Larry Summers: "This is way beyond anything Nixon ever did ... this is the stuff of democracies giving way to authoritarianism. Firing statisticians goes with threatening the heads of newspapers, launching assaults on universities, launching assaults on law firms. This is really scary stuff."
So out of character
Hillary said it best in a 2015 debate
Because his fat ass will say “fake news” and the sycophant dumbass cocktail will be hypnotized
um. www.wsj.com/world/middle...
REPORTER: Why did you fire the head of the bureau of labor statistics? TRUMP: Because I thought her numbers were wrong
Yeah he's gonna cook the books and tank the economy but at least he's telling us he's gonna cook the books and tank the economy
Trump fired the Commissioner of Labor Statistics by tweet just now, in case you're wondering about how reliable job numbers might be getting over the next 3.5 years
At least the fascists of old had style
Just another day where the Director of National Intelligence opines that I must be guilty of something for not posting on X. This is not normal. This is what it looks like when the Trump administration is targeting their political opponents.
Today in Central Planning. 🤡
This video...man. Whistleblower talks about US military contractors in Gaza firing nonlethal and lethal munitions at crowds of hungry Palestinian civilians, harming and possibly killing innocent people.
All four-star general nominees must now interview with President Trump. The goal is to "ensure they are war fighters first — not bureaucrats,” says the WH. Some fear it could politicize the general officer corps. www.nytimes.com/2025/07/29/u...
"This is a nail in the coffin." Fmr. FBI General Counsel Andrew Weissman describes what Emil Bove's confirmation to the Third Circuit says about the United States' system of checks and balances. "The amount of proof as to why he is unfit is sort of overwhelming."
There is audio proof that Bove lied to Congress, but republicans are going ahead with the confirmation vote anyhow.
We went from “are we still talking about jeffrey epstein” to “he stole her”
AIPAC’s “fastest-ever endorsement" has seemingly gone too far: Rep. Randy Fine responded to new humanitarian reports from Gaza, tweeting, “Release the hostages. Until then, starve away,”... and then claiming "the ‘Palestinian’ cause" was all a hoax anyway. https://trib.al/PRd5X3D
CORRUPTION UPDATE: Donald Trump accepted a “free” luxury jet from Qatar. A new report says taxpayers will be on the hook for up to $1 billion for renovations. All for a jet that's going to his future Presidential Library.
Watching Trump rewrite reality and manufacture the consent of the malevolent rubes in real-time is something.
This is serious. Very serious.
HW raised taxed knowing it would likely cost him the election yet he did so. Why? The deficit was more important than his presidency. Let’s be real here…
Not a drag queen.
NEW: Here's a new scandal bigger than the Epstein mess. Trump's top intel officer is fabricating evidence so his DOJ can investigate & prosecute Obama & his aides w/ possible show trials—as Trump says, "Whether it’s right or wrong, it’s time to go after people.” link.motherjones.com/public/40858...
Everyone is confidently calling Candace ‘her’. Let’s perhaps not grant Candace that courtesy
🚨 This woman tries to call the family of the man being disappeared and ICE will not allow her to get a phone number. One of the “undercover” mobsters nearly backed into her.
continue to think we are in the very early stages of thermostatic opinion on this and they are already not prepared to handle young blonde white woman screaming get a real fucking job
The first planned migration of an entire country due to climate change is happening! Tuvalu, a Pacific island nation, is at risk of being submerged under rising sea level, so it has signed an agreement with Australia to allow 280 Tuvaluans to settle in Australia as permanent residents each year.
Paul Manafort: Pardoned for lying to protect Trump. George Papadopolous: Pardoned for lying to protect Trump. Mike Flynn: Pardoned for lying to protect Trump. Roger Stone: Pardoned for lying to protect Trump. Next up, Ghislaine Maxwell.
And ask Acosta why he just got a streaming deal with Trump media and a job on the board at Newsmax just three months ago.
America's top electronic communications regulator is very interested in the content of what U.S. broadcasters produce.
Trump’s FCC chair stooge says @cbsnews @60minutes will now have a “bias monitor that reports directly to Trump”🤔 as a condition of the Paramount/Skydance merger Honestly why even bother at that point? Don’t we have enough regime propaganda networks already?
Mario Guevara "has lived in the United States legally for more than two decades, where he became renowned as one of [Atlanta's] most trusted immigration reporters." "That was until June 14, when [he] was snatched up by police." #Georgia #USA #Policing #Incarceration #Deportation #EthnicCleansing
UPDATE: Paramount gets its merger with Skydance, and the Trump regime says it has been given assurances CBS News coverage will be acceptable to Dear Leader Translation: South Park was on target. We are over the cliff here y’all. www.nbcnews.com/business/bus...
“I said, ‘No, I’m very sorry, I’m in Canada.’ And I said I’m polite enough to talk to you guys but you cannot arrest me. ‘You can’t come across the border and pick me up’ but they did,” he recalled www.ctvnews.ca/montreal/art...
"Those best positioned [in Hungary] to uphold democratic norms chose the comfort of an illusion over the courage of action. They were and are invisible by choice.... The lesson of Hungary is this: We cannot claim to care about democracy only when it costs nothing."
"Here, too, powerful people are responding to authoritarian advances just as their Hungarian counterparts have — not with defiance, but with capitulation....Institutions and professions that have long acted as bastions of critical inquiry, civilized contestation... have fallen silent"
"American officials and academics who, like me, lived in Hungary...would often tell ourselves stories to explain this submissiveness: that docility is rooted in Hungary’s oppressive communist past, that its democracy was simply too young to withstand a strongman. Then I returned to the US...."
Former US ambassador to Hungary: "After years watching Hungary suffocate under the weight of its democratic collapse, I came to understand that the real danger of a strongman isn’t his tactics; it’s how others, especially those with power, justify their acquiescence." (h/t @bnovak.bsky.social)
Here’s an example of how disaster relief is being politicized by the Trump Administration www.washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/202...
Absolutely surreal to watch White House reporters ask Leavitt questions about tariffs moments after she and Gabbard used this briefing to baselessly accuse Obama of crimes punishable by death. We’re a sick joke of a country.
Honestly, Mark, how do you explain the consistency of what seems like capitulation ?
🤦🏻♂️
Due to what I’m going to assume is sanity and reason
$200 million mob protection payout. Surely the slobfather won’t change the terms
