It only took another 80 years for the fascists to complete the job, and here we are.
Kennedy must be removed from office. He has already caused a catastrophe at HHS and the CDC. I strongly suspect that he is about to use data manipulated by unscrupulous and unqualified individuals to attempt to falsely show that vaccines are in some way a net harm. He simply must be stopped.
Remove Kennedy - yep, he's gotta go. But does anybody really think Bobby Brainworm is coming up with this all by himself? He is all-in with the science deniers, the anti-vaxxers, and for all I know the Flat Earthers. But he is just another fascist tool doing the bidding of P2025 authors and Trump
But isn't this like the umptheenth time he's "remade GROK" and each time it goes psycho and he has to reboot it AGAIN? Bottom line: it's unstable, it's erratic, it is wrong and it is full of itself JUST LIKE MUSK already!
🎵"Sweet dreams are made of this, who am I to disagree..."🎵 Of course, my first reaction is 🤮 but I will NOT kink-shame here! :)
Musk is a con man who never actually delivers on his vast promises. He will always abandon his schemes as they come to maturity because they *never* live up to his promises, and he will always turn his firehose of bullshit to some new venture safely tucked into some future time. The Con must live!
I dunno who this "Demetre Daskalakis" guy is, but he takes the "Most Naive Person in Forever" prize if he really thought that. Nobody with a functioning brain thought RFKjr would ever be anything but what he is - a dangerous lunatic bent on destroying healthcare for millions. And here we are.
Day ain't over yet, tho'!
I guess that means no squeeze bottles of Cheesy Ketchup now...
More simply put, Noem is just another psychotic lunatic that will do anything Trump tells her to do. The only real question now is "What drug is she addicted to" to complete the Nazi analogy.
She is just another psychotic lunatic that will do anything Trump tells her to do. At this point, in a Presidential administration filled top to bottom with psychotic lunatics, the only real question is "Which particular drug are they addicted to" to complete the Nazi analogy.
And at the same time a complicit Supreme Court that simply rubber-stamps everything significant the Tyrant in the White House wants to do. The Founders thought self-interest and holding on to Power would be enough to keep the 3 Branches in balance. They never saw how it could be gamed & subverted.
For once Trump is right about the city (and country) facing total lawlessness, but the problem is that it's coming from INSIDE THE WHITE HOUSE...
My alumni magazine mistakenly listed me as deceased so I called my college roommate Karen (she’s very religious) for a laugh: Me: “Did you see the alumni magazine? They said I died.” Karen: “Yes, I saw. [pause] So, where’re you calling from?”
"I didn't see the sign when I checked in, but it's quite warm here and there's lots of cool people around to talk to!"
"Never trust a fascist bint who shots puppies in a gravel pit" is right up there with "Never trust a fart".
It's more like "mathturbation"
*leaves house in the morning* NEIGHBOR: Good morning! *goes back in house, locks doors, sets alarms, closes shades*
I feel seen...
If he answers any questions, it will be the first time ever...
The teacher pulled Little Johnny aside after a test and said, “Johnny, I think you’ve been cheating on your tests. You know I can’t condone cheating.” Johnny was astounded and asked the teacher to prove it.
At this point a fucking peanut butter sandwich should be leading Susan Fucking Collins by 16 points or better. Maine, you've had chance after chance to send Collins home - wherever that is. Please don't screw the pooch again THIS time. Pretty please. With sugar on it.
Same here. Vance is as charismatic as wet toilet paper, he has the backing of Thiel & others but he does NOT have that "Trump cachet" and never will The sharks will be circling and Vance is the chum. He hasn't demonstrated the basic skills needed in DC Politics, it was all just handed to him.
Obviously the stairs that they could have used instead were far too complicated for them to figure out.
What is Trump’s announcement? Wrong answers only.
Trump will reveal the secret of "WHO is buried in Grant's Tomb"!
"But I thought we were an autonomous collective." "You're foolin' yourself!"
BREAKING: MASSIVE RALLY FORMING IN MAINE AGAINST SUSAN COLLINS.
Now if Maine would JUST VOTE THE BINT OUT ALREADY! It's not like Susan Collins hasn't been "As Useless As A Susan Collins" for decades, now, but Maine keeps sending her ass back to the Senate. Just do it this time!
Elon Dipshit is only worried about the WEALTHY WHITE birth rate, of course. That racist carbuncle is doing everything he can to eliminate the not-white and not-wealthy population of this country.
I hate it that my mind jumps directly to the only possible subject of this skeet.
No one wants proof of life, btw

Excellent thread on Stupidity as enabled by -and- enabling Authoritarianism.
👏Bravo, SocioPhi! Bravo! 👏
It didn't look orange, mebbe I'll check back later.
Best thing I've read since H.L. Mencken's obit for William Jennings Bryan, prosecuting attorney for the Scopes Trial and all around boor. "He was a peasant come home to the dung-pile. Imagine a gentleman, and you have imagined everything that he was not."
Very H.L.Mencken-ish - I love it!
Is that…is that his mug shot? Did that felon hang his mug shot on a federal agency?
He likely thinks it makes him look "assertive" instead of how it really just makes him look "assholish".
👆This.
So true. Thank you for sharing!
1 of 6: Several years ago now, Charlotte and I went to a thing in deep east Oklahoma called The Christmas Train. It should have been nothing but fun and joy, and though we did enjoy it, there was something gravely wrong.
I remember when lunatics were not put in charge of things like "health" or "the military" or THE FREAKIN' PRESIDENCY.
I remember when certifiable lunatics were not put in charge of things like "health" or "the military" or, for that matter, THE FREAKIN' PRESIDENCY. But the newsrags are compelled to normalize and support the insanity because PROFIT...
Robert Mueller was diagnosed with Parkinson’s in 2021. We’re just learning about it now because he was asked to testify in the Epstein matter and won’t be able to. Gift link: www.nytimes.com/2025/08/31/u...
Having lived through a decade of harrowing events as a child, I'll say it's *good* to imagine the day you'll move beyond the reach of a cruel person—even if that moment won't fix everything. They want to convince you of your powerlessness, but that's not how this story ends.
As I am so fond of uselessly saying, but I say it anyway, "Fuck the @nytimes.com !" Useless yellow rag has done everything it can to make Trump something he is not so that the world can burn for clicks and profit.
Fatality.
Newsom riding Trump's orange ass down like Major Kong in Dr. Strangelove.
They could end the war. Problem solved.
Post is still deleted, but I managed to get a screen-cap from my cache when I clicked back thru. I dinna understand all of the mysteries of the Interwebs, but I'll take it when it happens. (OP was a GIF of Thiel blinking occasionally, his Human Sim V1.0 has a too-long interval between blinks.)
Oops - now the embedded post which was a photo of Peter Thiel has been deleted by the OP. Oh well, it happens.
Looks evil
Another filthy-rich fucker who apparently can't afford to see a dermatologist or at least get some decent skin products to address that flop-sweat look he always has. Obvs he forgot to bring his towel!
RFK Jr: We need to stop trusting the experts... Trusting the experts is not a feature of science or democracy, it's a feature of religion and totalitarianism.
Bobby Brainworm would have us not trust "experts", but instead trust a moronic drug addict who would have died years ago in a back alley with a needle in his arm except that his name is "Kennedy".
It is always easier to destroy than to build or maintain. Trump is a cult figure at this point, and when he goes I doubt Vance is going to step up and take over. Oh, he will try. But without Trump, the movement will not have the same effectiveness. The rest is up to us.
I’m just saying that when it happens I’m jumping out of bed, running to my window, and tossing a coin to a boy to buy the biggest goose in town
Kevin: "Where can I find the Epstein Files?"
Colorado is still somewhat purple, it isn't enough to win statewide with just Boulder and Denver. This is why Polis, nominally a Democrat, is more Republican Lite. See also Bennet and Hickenlooper. He's fucked the state on other prog things (a labor bill being his latest), so no surprise here.
I feel bad for the National Guard playing soldier for the draft dodging rapist in the White House.
Back when Dr offices had a table full of back issues of Time Magazine (and pre-Internet), I used to read 2 things: Milestones, to see who died since my last office visit, and the back Opinion page. George Will was consistently shite back then, he is still consistently shite.
RFKJr selects new Commandant of the CDC:
I do hope the Air Force includes this stirring martial melody during the service: 🎵"Die Fahne hoch, die Reihen fest geschlossen"🎵
"Left her job"? Passive-voice much? Implying that Monarez was responsible for any such "shifts in vaccine policy" and/or "layoffs"? What absolute garbage! Do you idiots still think Trump will spare you if you keep writing headlines like this? You are out of your collective minds if you do.
Death valley is infinitely more habitable than Mars, every billionaire who wants to go to Mars should be airdropped nude into Death Valley at noon. They'll be fine, statistically it is basically the most habitable spot in the known universe.
If past history is any indication - and it usually is in this arena - then you are absolutely correct. It is the "When they go low, we go high" thinking that has gotten us into this situation. I'd still rather have Dems in charge, but I don't expect any kind of consequences for these monsters.
This ignorant fucking lunatic who is ONLY there because of his name, this brain-dead moron, this fucking creep from HELL is going to try to kill us all with his insanity. He is an existential threat to every man, woman, and child in this country.
#StandYourGroundInDC
The KKK finally figured out how to be subsidized by Northern tax dollars. Good job!
Making them wear high-visibility vests over camo is such a good joke you couldn’t write it
At least it's not like they're in a dangerous crime-ridden area full of people shooting at them or something...
Reminded me of something from a movie...
Broke Barrel Crackers
It was just a matter of time, I suppose...
Got my booster a couple weeks ago. It's not the latest, I'm sure, but it's probably the last one I will ever see. We are fucked as far as COVID vaccines go, I'm afraid.
Exactly. Transcribing Trump's garbage all day long, printing it, and then going back for more. Helluva way to make a dollar.
Orange Dumbass thinks Ukraine "went to war" when, in fact, PUTIN BROUGHT WAR TO UKRAINE. But the "news" media will just report the Orange Fucker's words as if they made sense.
Every goddamn one of the major "new media" outlets published the occasional "Trump Bad" piece that they knew they could later point to. But their main thrust (to help elect Trump and piss on Biden) was *far* from "sub-rosa" - it was RIGHT OUT THERE FRONT AND CENTER! They *wanted* Trump II.
I'll never forget Rove in 2012 when Fox called the election for Obama. His genuine shock told me that he thought the election had been properly bought, him stalking back to the Fox Numbers Room with cameras in tow to shake some sense into them and then his realizing "OH - maybe on-camera is bad..."
Call me naive but I tend to think of "mortgage fraud" as being along the lines of "laundering Russian mob money through overvalued properties like Trump Tower" kinda thing.
And a has-been drunk TV personality to boot.
The GOP is all about the "Freedumb to Bear Armz" but OHFORTHELOVEOFGODNOTTHESEPEOPLE!!1!11!1!! 😉
Just seeing that photo gave me brief dark spots in my visual field!
Yes. More of this, please.
Two words: Genghis Khan
Vance obviously missed the day they covered "Genghis Khan" in Junior High. Unless by "negotiation" Vance means "slaughtered every man, woman, child, dog, chicken and hamster" after a city surrendered to the Mongols.
Yeah, no surprise. Nationalism is a key element of Fascism, possibly one of the main differentiating points from the other "-isms", so promoting "patriotism" like this is to be expected. And with this SC I don't expect it will hold with 60-ish years of precedent when it comes to upholding 1A...
And just to mess with her, at night the chimps would swap jerseys on a complicated, but non-random, schedule they had posted back at the nest. ;-)
Decades ago, I thought it had to have been a lack of reading issue in so many. It wasn't a lack of reading at all, it was an extreme lack of comprehension. They can read all day long, yet comprehend nothing.
Like the meme goes, "Remember before the Internet we thought it was lack of access to information that was the reason so many people were stupid? Yeah, well, it wasn't that..."

Fuck off. This is nothing like you are implying with the COVID shutdowns.
Yes, and traffic behavior as density increases can be modeled similar to the physics "springs and weights" problem. The traffic in the model starts to bunch and expand like a spring, and the bunching and expanding propagates backward against traffic flow. And that's today's Ted Talk...
There is a front? There is actually a front to get to? Because after spending half my life driving in LA traffic, I've *never* seen "the front". I guess it'd be a miracle...
