His face is as red as "caught red-handed."

Trump is still talking. And, yes, he said: “Every one says that I should get the Nobel Peace Prize for each one of these achievements."

"I'm really good at this stuff." - Trump to the UN General Assembly

Trump is apparently ad-libbing a speech in the front of the General Assembly and humiliating himself and us, as usual. And, unlike last time, everyone present is too terrified to laugh.

What are the odds that Trump will whine about a Nobel Peace Prize in front of the UN General Assembly today? (very good, I say)

Ready for the rapture!

Cue the MAGA/Charlie Kirk-corpse-felching performative caterwaul in three...two...

Thank you @judithbolyard.bsky.social for including me in your Monday Super-Duper starter pack! ("It's only words and words are all I have/To take your heart away" - the Bee Gees)

Waiting for Trump to officially designate democracy as a major terrorist organization.

Tweaking a Rodney Dangerfield joke: "I went to a Christian nationalist political rally and occasionally a eulogy broke out."

And, yes, leave the heroin-infused hyperbolic excess to RFK, Jr., who compared Charlie Kirk to Jesus Christ, saying Kirk has "also now changed the trajectory of history."

Stephen Miller just said the current regime will “channel all of the anger that we have over the organized campaign that led to this assassination to uproot and dismantle these terrorist networks.” Because that's what Saint Charlie would have wanted.

Rep. Anna Paulina Luna just compared Charlie Kirk to Martin Luther King, Jr., which is interesting given that Kirk called King an "awful" person. But, let the beatification continue.

If Rod Serling were alive, he'd write a "Twilight Zone" episode where Charlie Kirk wakes up in the body of a black trans woman.

Release the Homan files!

To borrow from Mickey in "Rocky": "Don't let that bastard breathe!"

50 years ago today--impossible!--"Dog Day Afternoon" was released, and it just seems to get better with each re-viewing.

Anyone asking questions about Tom Homan accepting $50K from FBI agents will immediately be deported to CECOT.

"It’s unclear what reasons FBI and Justice Department officials gave for shutting down the investigation." (cue sound of laughter, before it's declared illegal)

Fine by me. I'll remember what an unrepentant racist asshole he was.

In a few days the headline will be the same, just without the cumbersome last three words.

The new CDC panel also recommends swimming in raw sewage and being related to a famous slain senator/U.S. Attorney General in order to be elevated to head of the HHS.

Comedy and satire, no. Full-on rightest-of-right-wingnut propaganda, oh yes.

Oops!

This just happened to @katmabu.bsky.social. In America.

It's strange turning to Jon Stewart for some degree of comfort instead of and because of the president of our country.

Great idea: Hire easily-triggered dupes to pull triggers.

M-I-C (see you in hell) K-E-Y (why? because you're groveling bootlickers) S-U-C-K-S

If this doesn't get him the Nobel Peace Prize, nothing will.

Stop saying "chilling effect" regarding what's happening to free speech. It's a fucking boot on our throats.

International capitulation. (Which could be a "Schoolhouse Rock" title.)

Our Great Orange Gibbon celebrating and encouraging the further erosion of free speech--by whatever terms he and his terrified bootlickers define it--in our country.

Talk of civility and discourse-despite-our-political-differences is nice, but let's not kid ourselves. It's us vs. them. And they/MAGA/Christian nationalists/whatever you may wish to call them won't stop until we are completely under their fascist thumbs. (And now...Les Brown & His Band of Renown!)

At this rate, the networks may give Chevy Chase back his show.

Patel did, however, know all the appetizers and entrees at Rao's.

In honor of Constitution Day, the Trump administration is replacing the First Amendment with "to be determined."

If Trump likes to throw ketchup bottles when he's angry, what does RFK, Jr. throw? Containers of raw milk?

Tonight in British counterprogramming.

And Brian Kilmeade is proudly thinking, "They're doing it for me!"

If you can't find it, then it can't be true.

From 2002: Listen to Robert Redford discuss the not-for-the-better changing world, freedom, and the importance of creative expression. More relevant than ever.

"...a young man with seemingly inexhaustible histrionic resources and a sense of economy to do a Keynes proud..." - John Simon on Robert Redford in "Barefoot in the Park"

My favorite Robert Redford performance, in one of the greatest movies about politics--along with "All the President's Men"--ever made, "The Candidate." (And both co-produced by Redford.)

Goodbye to the great actor-director-producer Robert Redford, whose contributions to American filmmaking through his Sundance Institute alone are incalculable. Below, the extraordinary six-minute take (starting at 1:31) with him as Bob Woodward from "All the President's Men."

The hysterical levels of projection and hypocrisy are truly breathtaking.

I hope Rachel Maddow mentions Matthew Dowd tonight on her show, and has a few choice words about free speech for MSNBC and everyone pathologically firing people for, you know, stating facts. (Would MS COWED actually fire their number one host if she did?)

"This just in: A medical team announced that Charlie Kirk is still valiantly holding on in his fight to remain dead."

He makes it too easy.
