My heart really isn't in this one because there's nothing funny about ICE in Minneapolis, but here it is anyhow.

While we're all on the Epstein, Venezuela, Greenland, ICE Mobius strip of distraction the Trump family is going into the banking business. Well played, scumbags! www.ft.com/content/468c...

Looks like DOJ is gonna have to release a few thousand scrubbed Epstein files to distract us from Minneapolis.

I don't know about you, Europe, but I sure wouldn't trust us.

Watch for the Donroe Doctrine to trickle down to the local level when your richer, more powerful neighbor announces that he needs your lawnmower, car, and eventually your house, for “homefront security.”

Has Trump ever explained what he meant when he invited everyone to Wash DC on Jan 6, 2021 and said it "will be wild?"

Interesting that the people who told you that John McCain wasn't a war hero are now telling you that Sen. Mark Kelly is a traitor. It's probably just a coincidence that they both spoke out about Trump. www.politico.com/news/2026/01...

Whenever I see Stephen Miller (or any of the other members of the White House Circle of Jerks) puff up and act like tough guys I can't help but think that they were exactly the kind of kids that young Donald Trump would have brutalized and humiliated, just for sport. www.nytimes.com/2026/01/05/u...

“We need Greenland for defense and also, it would be a great starter country for Barron.” www.mediaite.com/media/news/w...

Watch for Putin to announce charges against Zelensky in the next few days so the invasion of Ukraine becomes a “law enforcement action.” Xi will do the same with Taiwan shortly thereafter.

It was only last spring but you may have forgotten about the agreement Zelinsky signed, granting half of Ukraine mineral rights to the US in return for the right to be strung along by Trump fronting for Putin while Russian bombing continued. /1

We can take solace in the fact that since the US has morphed from protector to predator under Trump, every country on the planet has significantly increased military spending. That oughta go well.

How was your Holiday Break? Dec 24 (Christmas Eve) - DOJ "finds" an additional million Epstein documents. Dec 31 (New Year's Eve) - House releases Jack Smith testimony Jan 3 (Saturday) - U.S. invades Venezuela, Captures Maduro Explain to me again how "Flooding the Zone" works?

So about this whole invading Venezuela thing: I really thought that like most of us, Trump would drag the holiday break out until Monday, but no, he the asshole that just has to cannonball right into the pool, soaking everyone else. /1

AARGH!

If you were thinking that Trump might just ease into 2026, yeah, no...that's not happening. But who's next? Greenland? Mexico? California? www.reuters.com/world/americ...

The US and the entire world would be significantly better off today if the Trump administration was merely incompetent.

It's a known fact that only Radical Left Scum care about spelling!

It really didn't have to go this way but these 4 made it happen...

It must haunt Trump that Jack Smith has seen all of the evidence, and if the retribution against him goes too far, Jack might just say screw it and spill ALL the beans.

We're only 25 years in and so far we've had 9/11, a phony war in Iraq, a pandemic, and Trump. I'm sorry, but this is a crap millennium. I can't put up with another 975 years of this shyte. Oh yeah, and Happy New Years!

I thought that every 60's rock band that ever existed had been thoroughly mined, but a (very) dark horse has risen from the dustbin with the song of our time: www.youtube.com/watch?v=vb6T...

I ran across an old article I posted during the pandemic and found it’s well-reasoned arguments to still be quite relevant to the current debate about vaccines. www.mcsweeneys.net/articles/oh-...

I wonder how many bands named Radical Left Scum were formed in the past 48 hours?

Giuliani era repubs thought that "broken windows" prosecution of even the smallest crimes in NYC was a terrific thing, so maybe they oughta try that at the Federal level, starting with, say, vandalism (East Wing) and working their way up to murder (Venezuelan boats.)

The staggered release of Epstein files, and now the Million-Document-Dump, is a perfect way to control the focus of the media and divert them from the next crisis/outrage with a new release. However, this can (will) backfire badly by dragging interest in Epstein out to the midterms.

TRUMP HOLIDAY GIFT IDEAS For the Rich: Pardons, citizenship, Cabinet positions For the Rubes: Hats, shirts, watches, wine, guitars, NFTs, crypto, memecoin crap, cologone, Bibles, sneakers, cufflinks...

In the past few days George Conway announced a run for Congress as a DEMOCRAT and more than a dozen staffers left the Heritage Foundation to join Mike Pence's think tank. That's a serious fork in the road for conservatives and never-Trump Repubs. Interesting times ahead.

Trump is not going to tolerate 3 years of headlines about Vance, Rubio and ??? with him in the background as a lame duck. Prepare yourselves for levels of crazy “that no one has ever seen before.” nypost.com/2025/12/16/u...

People in countries with state-controlled media used to listen to Radio Free Europe, Voice of America (now decimated), or even CNN to hear news. Now, Americans have to look to Canada to see uncensored content. Trump is flushing 240 years of free speech down his gold toilet.

"Some people say my Twitter account is the modern-day equivalent of the Gettysburg Address.” Yes, but the other 3,499,999 people living in America say...uh...otherwise. www.mediaite.com/politics/tru...

This article only covers Trump 2.0, but you could extend it back to Jan 2017 and find that 1) on any given day, Trump said or did something unbelievably, numbingly stupid 2) shortly thereafter, he would do something far stupider www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

BREAKING... EPSTEIN FILES REDACTED, INCOMPLETE: 16 REMOVED FROM WEB Nation Shocked That DOJ Did Exactly What You Knew They Would Do apnews.com/article/rele...

Now that GOP women in Congress are waking up and walking away, when will the Black politicians like Tim Scott and Byron Donalds who campaigned for Trump realize that they’ve been left behind, too?

I keep thinking about the greatest, most moving performance that I've ever seen: Aretha Franklin at the Kennedy Center in 2015. Trump has reduced a sacred stage to a professional wrestling arena. It's unspeakably sad. www.youtube.com/watch?v=8cF0...

Quick sampling of Epstein files: Unredacted: Pics from airplane window, every vehicle and tool on Epstein properties, Walter Cronkite, young guys who don't have the juice to get redacted and a whole lotta Bill Clinton Redacted: Gray haired males in mug shots. No Trump. Coincidence, right?

For those who may have missed it, here’s a concise summary of President Trump's Wed night address to the nation.

Trump Kennedy Center. Trump Institute of Peace. You know where this is headed.

As new Epstein files are released, keep in mind that in his first term, Trump ate, flushed, and stole documents, and his Chief of Staff burned them in the White House fireplace.

With all that’s going on this week, this story didn’t get much play. Tell me again how well those tariffs are working. www.nytimes.com/2025/12/07/b...

Obama took office in the middle of a financial crisis with the auto and financial industries melting down, and Biden came in at the height of COVID. Maybe it's my aging brain but I don't remember either of them whining about their predecessors or the mess they inherited.
