Nice stick! Yes, enjoy, my friend.
Absolutely. The GOP is a death cult.
Ashli Babbitt died a traitor.
Are we going to have to get back-alley vaccinations? Fuck RFK Jr.
Real Americans Flush Fascists. 🇺🇸
Earth day is so funny It’s like “hey man what are we celebrating” “All of it” “All of it?” “Everything, yeah.” “The moon?” “NO.”
If we are serious about “Never Again!” we have to name it when we see it. Nazis were Nazis from the get. Before the Holocaust. Before kristallnacht. MAGA is doing the things Nazis did which led to the Holocaust. If they don’t like being outed as Nazis, they need to stop doing Nazi shit.
Welcome to the People’s Republic of Trump
This is insane. “I think you should give 10% to the United States” OTOH: the US should be given more than 10% of each Billionaire’s net worth.
Barn owls must have been pretty excited When the first barn was built.
Just a reminder that when Trump asserts something, it is wrong.
The problem with lifetime leftists is they can’t see the difference between Reagan and Trump, or even McCain and Trump. They’re almost as ignorant of Republican issues such as free trade and rational immigration policies as MAGA morons are.
Says the punk from the People’s Republic of Santa Monica. What a turd.
Yes. Yes, it does.
It’s important to note that the Confederate states were not America, and that the confederates were not Americans. By choice.
Every question you ask, every comment you make, I'll be recording you theregister.com/2025/08/18/o... via @theregister.com & @sjvn.bsky.social Big #AI is watching you.
Ha ha ha ha ha.
Americans crack down on masked people who claim to be police or government agents who refuse to ID themselves and claim “liberals ruined America.” All real Americans hate fascism.
No Kings. No Thugs.
I think it’s high time we take back the national narrative. For centuries Americans of all races, genders, religions, and abilities have worked to create a more perfect union, and we should shout from the rooftops that WE are America. Not these idiot white supremacist authoritarians.
It takes skill to troll this well. Bravo GCN.
when they close it all up, I do believe this will go down as the funniest video on the internet
Talk about a cheap date
When Trump and his ilk left the Whitehouse in ‘21, my understanding is that the new administration sanitized and deep scrubbed all of it. When Trump and his ilk leave this time, we need to sanitize and deep scrub the whole damned country.
Genuinely incredible that she's saying this with 2 accused rapists on either side of her
It’s actually astonishing that a 34x convicted felon has the ‘nads to utter the words “law and order.” Or that people take the fucker seriously. Shut the fuck up you motherfucking crim.
Wouldn’t it have been nice if Washington DC had been made a state?
“The people who matter are the law-abiding citizens,” she said, standing next to a 34x convicted felon.
I wonder how the Catholic Christian Nationalists will outdo the Evangelical Christian Nationalists and the Episcopalian Christian Nationalists and the FLDS Christian Nationalists to get top prize? We need a WWE-style cage match to see which sect gets to be the _real_ Christians.
Time to take away the keys from these bastards and ground their asses.
Trumpedos hate knowing things. Makes ‘em uncomfortable.
Happy International Book Lovers Day, to those who celebrate.
When Trump says he's going to do something, it will be A: stupid, B: evil, C: illegal, D: racist, E: misogynistic, or all of the above. He does it, it’s wrong by default. No need to explain why.
Odd, how South Park is covering Kristi Noem and her ICE hooligans more accurately than The New York Times.
Finally, an AI that’s not lying.
The “dignity of work”. Tell that to billionaires.
This is a main reason I oppose capital punishment. I oppose government barbarism.
If I reduce the price of a $7 bottle of Tylenol by 1,500%, what the fuck is the price?
Question for Mike Flood: With $450 million being allocated to Alligator Alcatraz, and ICE burning through $8.4 million a day to illegally detain people—How much does it cost for fascism? How much do the tax payers have to pay for a fascist country?
Most Americans condemn pedophiles, rapists, and their ilk, and prefer that justice is done.
Don’t let them forget, ever, and don’t be distracted: EPSTEIN EPSTEIN EPSTEIN EPSTEIN EPSTEIN EPSTEIN EPSTEIN Infinity
This Epstein thing seems more and more like a something burger.
A guy whose fraudulent university was shut down is telling the Ivy League what to do. A guy whose businesses went bankrupt multiple times is telling the Fed what to do. A guy whose best friend was a child sex trafficker is telling the DOJ what to do. That it’s all the same guy is pretty wild.
Oh damn! I hope your recovery goes well. Lord.
If the good senator is concerned to avoid criminals, he’d better not visit the White House.
Impeach. Convict. Remove. Indict. Imprison. Repeat.
Fuckin A Mr. Garcia.
@marcelias.bsky.social: We "need to tell Republicans that if they take 5 seats, we're going to put 30 seats on the table... When people say to me 'don't bring a knife to a gunfight,' I don't even want to bring a gun to a gunfight. I want to bring missiles to the gunfight."
Motherfucking wind farms…
I can’t believe how much of a clusterfuck this Epstein case is. Trump and his minions keep on digging.
I was listening to Wait, Wait, Don’t Tell Me when he said this. Perfect. I was never going to vote for Trump but this made me realize that I may not like a Hillary presidency but we would be fine. With Trump? Jesus. She should have won.

Oh man. Tom Lehrer was a serious component of my intellectual and satirical DNA.
This article is brilliant. We need brilliance in this age of artificial mediocrity.
Can we please get these idiots out of power?
Absolutely. “I’m a juvenile product of the working class / Whose best friend floats on the bottom of a glass.” My favorite lyric ever.
“The devil's aversion to holy water is a light matter compared with a despot's dread of a newspaper that laughs.” Mark Twain
What is in the Epstein files that is so damaging, Trump would rather trash own base than simply release them to the public?
This is an absolute fact. Although I’m all in for the Technocracy to relocate there with a one-way ride.

Live by the Epstein files. Die by the Epstein files.
Trump is using ICE and “immigration” and citizenship as his vector to imprison and or “deport” _anyone_. His threat to Rosie to revoke her citizenship is insane. Why deal with the law when he can de-citizen someone and chuck them out?
Works for me. 😀
Fascinating. Since I’ve been off Facebook, I’ve been reading _real_ writing by writers who think about WTF they are writing. Much healthier.
I recently watched a couple of interviews with Roald Dahl and his writing desk intrigued me. He made his own and created a bolster of corrugated paper to have the desk at the exact angle. I want to make one for myself. You’ll dig this interview. His hut is 5 mins in. youtu.be/AsxTR09_iWE?...
We have example after example of how this entire administration from Trump down is completely incompetent spiked with hatred. These ignoramuses represent the worst of America, not the best. Impeach Convict Remove Expose Repeat.
“Education is the basis of law and order.” — Ransom Stoddard
The Peter Principle is that a person rises to the level of their incompetence. I amend it to add: “but if they have money, they keep rising.”
@jvl.bsky.social shared out this piece today in his newsletter. Truly “what a piece.” magazine.atavist.com/confessions-...
This is fucking nuts.
First, it pisses me off that Elon appropriated the word “grok.” Fuck him for that. Second, Elon’s nazification of Grok shows how untrustworthy LLMs are. I have friends who quote ChatGPT as if it were the voice of God. Grok calls itself MechaHitler. LLMs have no soul. They are bullshit.
I immediately laughed and thought of my friend Sonya 😂
Sounds like a good plan…
My God, these people. Come the revolution and reconciliation we may need to bring out the “Blofeld method.”#youonlylivetwice
ETTD. How many of those people who lost their jobs voted for it?
ETTD. Normalizing impeachment. Murkowski and her ilk can’t even say “no,” let alone defenestrate this fucking administration.
There’s going to be a hell of a lot of MAGA Grandmas heading back to their kids’ double-wides thanks to Trump.
This is very good. The outline of the New Dark Age emerges www.theatlantic.com/magazine/arc...
Karma is going to come back hard against the complicit. My God, these people.
This will keep you occupied during a boring meeting. jacksonpollock.org/
You know, they’re trying to pick us off one by one, belief by belief, culture by culture, artist by artist, thought by thought, shade by shade. Fuck that.
Me, too, man.
We need to outlaw political parties. I mean, George Washington himself warned us over 200 years ago. If we must have parties, we need to outlaw primaries. Or perhaps we use a Sorting Hat.
It’s shocking how the party just rolled over and stays rolled over. And in fealty to a felon! My lord.
Here’s the rule regarding Trump and his regime: if they say something, it’s a lie. If they propose something, it will harm you and enrich them. If they state a factoid, it’s wrong.
Trump and his mofo assholes want to defund grandma.
I just did the math, and yes, this checks out.
I’m a 64 year old American white man who smokes fucking cigars. I’ll use my privilege any way I want to because I can. And right now, it’s to A. Speak out and witness these fascists, and B. Tell other privileged white folks who have a problem with this to fuck off.
“I’m not in prison, and I’m alive.” Some thoughts: Capitulation is entering prison in advance. Don’t do that. Be woke to the fact that these thugs and morons mean us harm and are acting on it. We are not the crazy ones. Live and love while we sideline hate, fear, and ignorance.

I honestly feel that to provide explanations as to how fucking dumb Trump and his morons are insults the intelligence of the people who _can_ and do understand the explanations.
Charlie Kirk is such a fucking idiot.
