When obvious corruption is unopposed, the laws preventing it becomes worthless, requiring more heavy-handed laws to replace them. Those laws may end up being an overreaction because no one did the right thing the FIRST TIME.

A government is made of the worst things a population will put up with.

Just remember when inevitably people start folding on lame duck Trump, the Supreme Court is really allowed him to do everything unchecked. It was not only the cowards in Congress, but the court he bought and owned.

In capitalism, financial benefit is the ultimate benchmark of freedom. So, tell me how we live in a free society when a transphobia is infinitely more likely to be hired on a project than a trans person? It’s not like being transphobic is the default. It’s that being transphobic is more accepted.

In the future, the Venezuela boat scandal should be referred to as “stupid Iran-Contras”

Dear war crime Hegseth: We have an elite branch of the arm services capable of stopping tens of thousands of drug shipments every year. It’s called the Coast Guard, you murderous dipshit.

“I’d have no problem releasing the video” “I didn’t say that, you said that. Fake news.” 5 days apart 😬 (From @therecount.com )

Anybody ever notice that Stephen Miller looks like if Dr Evil was on Ozempic, and someone on his staff sewed a needle infacing into the back lining of his suit and put on a comically oversized tie?

Saw this and yeah: “Teach a man to fish, and Trump will assassinate him with drone strikes.”

Pete Hagueseth.

It’s interesting to think that everyone went to trial who was arrested, the justice department would collapse.

So the current administration is OK with bombing to oblivion any boat suspected of having drugs on it. Does Elon Musk have a yacht? If so, someone should think about maybe warning him.

You know, if every problem is a “personal responsibility” like these Republicans (and Centrist Dems) like to say, why the fuck do we need a government? It’s almost like there are communal issues affecting demographics but rich people just wanna keep their money or something.

Dear YouTube, two ads every six minutes on a three hour video with less than 20,000 views is why I’m going to watch you in a browser with adblock

You know, everyone who just says “you should really do things the legal way” when the system is so broken should be forced to watch unedited videos of people submitting appeals and paperwork for weeks, months, and years, until it finally gets resolved. New kind of prison sentence dropped.

“Seditious behavior, PUNISHABLE BY DEATH” is such a wild self-report.

Can we all acknowledge that representative Clay Higgins is the only person in all of Washington who is willing to defend predatory pedophiles, regardless of the politics?

Did you know that we have 15,000 troops currently staged outside of Venezuela? Yeah, I didn’t either.

Insane music request number one: A cover of Mars, bringer of war by Gustav Holtz, but done up-tempo by a ska band

Things make more sense in context.

Based on the copium coming from MAGA, we are maybe six months out from finding out that Trump shot a baby in the face with a sidearm that was originally owned by an SS officer and his base going “so you don’t like the second amendment?”

“Trump’s Big Beautiful Bill” is a LOT funnier to say now.

The recent Epstein Files leak sure recontextualizes the 2016 election to be WAY more about Bill Clinton than before.

Another reason Hillary Clinton’s 2016 campaign was doomed: Tim Kaine is a moral coward. He just flipped in the senate to kill the ACA.

If you’re still neutral on politics, you’re not necessarily the problem. You’re definitely not the enemy. You are a human obstacle. You have less agency than the worst of the MAGA and you seem to be fine with it.

Congrats to the Democratic Party last night. Can’t wait to see how you manage to fuck it up eventually.

Mamdani’s victory tonight is the first political win that I have experienced where I wasn’t just glad that it didn’t go to someone worse, but actively happy that it went to someone I would want to represent me.

Laura Loomer: Pentagon Press Corp Reporter. How is the onion still in business? @theonion.com

Trump has referenced thorium based nuclear reactors. Let’s look at who has stockpiles of thorium: Brazil, Venezuela, Canada, China, Greenland. Oh. These are places he has either decided to fuck with, talked about declaring war on, or said he was gonna annex.

Fun fact: adding sugar to concrete can cause it to dry in minutes.

Is it just me, or do we all feel the fall coming? Like it’s inevitable? No, not autumn.

You know it really is an impressive feat of blatant corruption, making it look like the policies of George W. Bush and Ronald Reagan were tactful and nuance comparatively.

Nuclear weapons testing. Stock Market on the edge of collapse. War with South America. Military and paramilitary in every city. These are what we are heading towards Hey MAGAts: are we great again?

[as the world at large burns down around us, me:] You know, sweet transvestite was the best song in Rocky Horror and I will not hear a word against it.

This is your sporadic reminder that Trump is a self admitted rapist, and a broadly accused pedophile.

In capitalism, sometimes technology can be broadly beneficial, without lying dangers. In hyper, capitalism or late stage capitalism, technology being a benefit is always going to be the outlier. There is no incentive to make things available, affordable, and universal.

The plan is coming together. Trump fucks cattle ranchers. Ranches cannot stay in business that way. Trump makes soybean exports impossible. Those can still sell here. Trump is making America into soyboys!

For those people who are wondering about the $37 trillion national debt and how Trump is doing this despite the rhetoric, take a lesson from Louisiana. Look up Bobby Jindal. Same bullshit. Took the state from a surplus to a debt by phenomenal tax cuts for the wealthy and businesses.

Hakeem Jeffries finally endorsed Zohran Mamdani. Glad gravity can defeat old for goddamn once.

Did you ever think you were going to find a more transparent, more transactional, and more corrupt declaration for US war than George W. Bush in your lifetime? I didn’t. That was not on my bingo card. But Trump is poised.

I would’ve loved to have heard a Peter Steele cover of pink pony club. Type O Negative definitely did that kind of stuff like that (look up their covers. It’s amazing) and I feel like Chappell Roan would’ve been cool about it.

If you still believe Trump, lemme tell you what you believe: 1) the East Wing of the White House isn’t part of the White House. 2) the economy grew by $17 trillion this year. 3) the president has the legal authority to lock up anyone you know for any reason without trial.

Start looking for where Trump and Miller are stashing their money to run away with.

Have we considered the possibility that all of the bullshit ICE is doing is just a very long-term plan to rehabilitate local police image by comparison?

We gave Argentina ALL of the USAID budget plus a few million more.

Is this the time to be frightened yet? When can we officially call it a coup? Do they have to have their boot on the throat of your fucking mother? How many dead neighbors are enough? This shit is coming. It may not be tomorrow, but it’s coming. Everything so far has been a test, and we have failed.

So it looks like the Department of Justice is no longer willing to charge people who threaten to kill standing members of Congress. I have the opportunity right now to be very funny. I want you to know how hard it is for me not to follow this up with something actionable.

This is your friendly reminder that Trump said he wasn’t a king and then went to $1 million a plate dinner. You can’t even make this shit up. The fact that the Onion still exists is nothing short of a testament to how good their writing is.
