At the top of the pyramid: All the shit he's been feeding us for years.

I'm sure as I type this that the current administration is cutting a five-million-dollar check for the family of Renee Nicole Good, just as it did for the family of Ashli Babbitt. (loud, sarcastic cough)

I guess all that "tone down the political violence" stuff only works when Charlie Kirk is involved.

Son of a goddamned motherfucking shitass cocksucker. Can he do anything else to destroy our country?

Renee Nicole Good. Say her name, post her name, share her name.

Funny, ain't it, how the current White House occupants don't have quite the same sympathy toward the officers who were attacked on January 6 as they do toward ICE agents?

Well, Trump is certainly consistent in his fealty and treachery.

Of course it's completely normal for the President of the United States to control all the money from the sale of between 30 to 50 million barrels of oil. Why, it's the most normal thing in the history of everything!

From the great @anntelnaes.bsky.social:

And the winner for best Democratic mid-term campaign slogan is...

Once again, we're in the embarrassing position of rooting for other countries' leaders who stand up to our own.

Trump is trying to disappear Insurrection Day along with democracy in general.

Goodbye PBS. (Below--when one man could sway a government with kindness and love.)

Happy birthday, Robert Duvall!

Congratulations, Venezuelan President of the Month!

Not to Congress. Because of course.

If you're keeping score: Venezuela, Iran, Cuba, Greenland, Panama, and now Ireland.

Just got a call from Marco Rubio. Turns out I'm running Venezuela. So, everybody there--carry on.

For the Bizarro World perspective, I watched Fox and: 1) Heard legal experts saying Trump can do whatever he wants; 2) Saw endless footage of Florida citizens cheering the U.S. about to run Venezuela; 3) Discovered that if you do not agree, you're un-American. Yay! (Can't wait for Bari Weiss' take.)

My choice for the Oscar's first Best Casting Award:

Sunday scratch 'n' rub with Winston.

"If he were to authorize some activity on land, then (we'd need) Congress." - Susie Wiles, to Vanity Fair--oh, just a few weeks ago, remember?--about Trump requiring approval for an attack on Venezuela

Trump's reasons for bombing Venezuela and taking Maduro: 1) Protecting American lives (just kidding--oil); 2) Who's gonna stop me? Congress? 3) Epstein who? 4) Look at me, Daddy! I'm a big boy!

Trump will install Ghislaine Maxwell as president of Venezuela.

And I'm sure right now, Trump is already working on his Nobel Prize speech.

So, will Trump be installing Scott Jennings as president of Venezuela?

Warning to Trump: RFK, Jr. will declare that aspirin causes autism.

Like a four-year-old bragging that he went to the toidy all by himself. (Something it took him until twenty-six to actually do.)

Which is worse: 1) We can add Iran to the list of countries Trump plans to invade; 2) His usual atrocious grammar; 3) He single-handedly decides foreign policy at three in the morning.

Clooney for the win.

From Benjamin Schwartz--oy--a decade ago. Let's fervently hope this year is the beginning of the end of anyone having to listen to the Great Orange Gibbon.

From him, this means "Happy New Year!"

Happy Please, Oh, Please Let Next Year Be Just Marginally Better Than This Past Horrorshow's Eve.

From Mick Stevens:

The "bald eagle," by the way, is either a falcon or kestrel and the photo was originally taken at an Israeli wind farm by that country's Nature and Parks Authority in 2017; i.e., our president is, as usual, a fat fucking, easily-proven liar.

Soon they'll be down to Laura Loomer as "The Belle of Amherst."

She's not to be trusted, but still fascinating to watch.

(sustained applause)

Donald Trump and Pete Hegseth explaining current U.S. foreign policy.

Can we make it through one day without this jackass bombing other countries and bragging about it? (Rhetorical, yes.)

No further embellishment needed.

I'm maybe very close to winning the Heisman Trophy.

"It is sad to grow old, but nice to ripen." - Brigitte Bardot

Before this, Trump finished playing a game of solitaire and Putin said Trump is "the kindest, bravest, warmest, most wonderful human being I've ever known in my life."

Having watched "Nuremberg"--the definition of a workmanlike movie--I do wonder: When (when, not if) Trump finally faces the legal music, will his lapdogs continue to be faithful to him and his--let's call it "agenda"--or will they turn on him like jackals?

Number 26: Everything else he said.

By the way, it's been fun responding to so many of your responses to my silly little post about the Great Orange Gibbon's stupid marble armrests.

I'm sure the 22 million people whose healthcare premiums will triple in six days are delighted by this news, you inhuman fuck.
