Holy shit! This is what I'm talkin' about. David Clayton is running for congress in North Carolina's District 5 against MAGA Republican Virginia Foxx — and this is how he introduced himself. 🙌💪👏✊️👇

The fact that the entire US elite class clutched onto this book as a source of deep insight tells you all you need to know about the people running this shitshow.

I get the Meidas+ daily newsletters (the unpaid version), and they are really good and well-written. What a clown show…

"I fired 5 rounds & she had 7 holes. Put that in your book, boys." That's what the #ICE agent who rammed US Citizen, Miramar Martinez & shot her 5 times. Then ICE lied & said she rammed them. #ICELawlessness abounds. If it can happen to them, it can happen to you! So speak out & share! Link⬇️

Pretty obvious that nobody tells Trump what’s going on behind the curtain — anymore.

And after T. already told Zelensky to just “eat it!” https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/2025/11/22/trump-zelensky-russia-plan/

Puzzled by shock at Trump/Mamdani presser. Long history of autocrats opportunistically--& temporarily--embracing enemies. I think Mamdani's right to use the moment. Suspect he gets it's just that. & also knows Trump sees he gets a little "winner" shine & can later say "I gave him a chance."

The Rhodes Scholar is baffled…

I assume that this is a move to open up a lane for the Georgia Governor’s election in 2026. https://www.onlineathens.com/story/news/2025/11/17/who-is-running-for-georgia-governor-in-2026-these-6-republicans-on-list/87315641007/

Marjorie Taylor Greene is willingly leaving Congress a year early?! *rips up and throws away bingo card

Of course, one possibility — now that he’s MEGA-rich — is that Trump simply dumps MAGA and opts for 3 years of just playing Grandpa…

How true…

Tom Nichols is one of those smart guys who gets a lot of things wrong…. Smh… (FDR & Biden…)

Looks mean a lot at the presidential level. It’s why Ted Cruz will likely never be President. A weak chin…

Slotkin is super sharp and has really impressed me whenever I listen to her. Also, she’s been working on making herself look a hello of a lot more marketable lately. Cp. with

Lol…

Mot often one sees a whole society go off the cliff of sanity…, all at once.

I still think Kelly has presidential chops potentially. He has the kind of presence, persona, charisma, that just might work. Would be very interesting to see him run, and to see how he stacks up.

but it was a roman salute

I haven’t seen this get covered in English yet so let me translate. Grok is saying that the crematories at Auschwitz’s were conceived as disinfectant chambers, not mass execution and that the law has made it taboo to acknowledge that this is what they were X is a Nazi site. Get off the Nazi site.

If you consider the great Tyrants of the 20th cen. — Mao, Hitler, Idi Amin, Stalin, Gaddafi — it was never dementia. All were mentally ill. But they kept it under control. But then, as their power grew, their delusions of grandeur and fanaticism grew apace. The final stage was a homicidal fury.

Funney how Stephen Miller thinks he’s the one Jew who won’t get sent to the ovens... He should read some history.

I always enjoy(ed) reading (and writing) negative reviews far more than good or positive reviews.

U.S. Coast Guard will no longer classify swastikas, nooses as hate symbols

This doesn't seem to be the kind of trade rebalancing that the president is looking for.

I guess it’s clear now that the Trump Economic policy is simply to create a huge market bubble that will keep them afloat while they consolidate power — crypto, housing, tech/AI, etc.

The word “Corruption” can no longer accurately describes the scale and magnitude of what is going on in this regime. We are going to have to come up with an entirely new word. Right answers only, please…

Any truth to the rumors that Stephen Miller is buying Barron a menagerie for Xmas…?

How’s this for the opening of pulp noir novel — and from an author who was just 22 years old… “Oh, for Christ’s sake,” I said. “You can get up now. No matter how long you lie there, nobody’s gonna give you a fucking Academy Award for it.” No response. I noted the trickle of blood from her temple…

New map produced by RTVE, Spanish national TV, of the 6000 mass graves in Spain. In the last 25 years some 17,000 bodies of men, women and children have been exhumed out of the ~120,000 dumped in mass unmarked graves by the Franco regime. www.rtve.es/noticias/fos...

Again, the only possible explanation is that MTG was recently visited overnight by three ghosts.

Nearly a decade ago I had to explain to my young daughter and wife that we were about to be broke because people were determined to prosecute me and then fire me from my teaching job. They, and other family members, encouraged me to keep speaking out. That was separate from the death threats.

We’re about to invade another country, for no good geopolitical reason, and not a peep from anyone… Smdh…

Tomorrow is the 1st round of presidential elections in Chile 🇨🇱, which will likely lead to run off between (nominal) communist Jeannette Jara and far-right José Antonio Kast. Contra to gender stereotypes, Jara is more moderate than she is portrayed, Kast is more radical than he is portrayed.

One key issue in fascism is the transition from what is commonly called ‘Movement Fascism’ to ‘Regime Fascism’. In Italy, it ended in a stall. In Germany, after an internal struggle, it led to an acceleration. Likewise, with Mao’s GPCR. That is the struggle that is now beginning in the GOP.
