Hey, @washingtonpost.com, nice job, you execrable sphincters.

In light of the gutting of the Washington Post: from Jan. 3, 2025 anntelnaes.substack.com/p/why-im-qui... "The cartoon that was killed criticizes the billionaire tech and media chief executives who have been doing their best to curry favor with incoming President-elect Trump."

The dumbest among us have used their numbers to place the worst possible people in positions of power at the worst possible time. These horrible people have used this power to do stupid and terrible things. The world sees this. America is not immune from the consequence of its own stupidity.

Brutal, but fair. Chuck Schumer is the Uvalde cops, just hoping the shooters will go home and he can go back to eating donuts.

Masked thugs on the streets. Measles outbreaks across the nation. Blatant government corruption. Coverup of group of elite sex offenders. Ruling party trying to rig elections. Leader building grandiose monuments to himself. Collapse of remnants of nonpartisan civil service. Third world America.

im building machines that i keep saying will both throw you out of work and allow masked special police forces in service to a lunatic i bought and paid for to recognize your face and check if i agree with your beliefs. im part of a pedophile ring that put this into motion. why are you rude to me

🚨 Pritzker: The monsters responsible for unleashing this havoc on American cities, whether they were firing at civilians in the streets or calling the shots from their cushy offices in Washington, need to be investigated and prosecuted.

The way things are going in America, it should be clear we don't have much time. We certainly don't have three years. We need to help ourselves by pushing for impeachment and removal as hard as we can and carrying it out as soon as humanly possible.

I mean, this piece of shit has been telegraphing what he plans to do for a while now. He will not voluntarily accept any diminution in his power. It’s going to have to be imposed upon him, by any means the situation requires.

The only people pretending are the execrable cowards who have the power to end him, but who refuse.

Good. He, and we, deserve it.

Well, this is just excellent. Why would the world expect an America run by ignorant, anti-science, authoritarian goons, guided by a economically illiterate, cognitively crippled felon and sex pest, to face the “deterioration of [its] financial exceptionalism”?

We have grown so, so numb to all of this, which is, of course, the point of the exercise.

I run a business, and made some standard federal tax payments this morning. I’ve obviously been paying taxes forever, and have never enjoyed it, but I have never before experienced this level of resentment. I feel like I’m being extorted by a pack of corrupt, violent goons. I suspect I’m not alone.

Exactly. Now is the time to stand up for your rights or choose life on your knees.

Ossoff: "This is a seismic event. This should have people across the country absolutely shook. This is a huge deal. This is an FBI raid on the Fulton County Elections office ... This is a shot across the bow at the midterm elections. He tried to steal power when he lost it in 2020."

Good. The more dysfunctional this pack of hateful, mendacious, sycophantic skells is, the better for the country and the world.

We invaded France and no one will sell us a croissant. It’s very hard on the men.

Look, guys, adjust your balaclavas a little bit and pretend that you’ve read this “Code of Conduct,” and we’ll make sure you have all the money you need to continue to execute Americans in the middle of the street. Hat tip to my Senator, @murray.senate.gov, right there in the picture. FFS.

1,000 percent. World — do sane Americans a favor and avoid pretending that everything’s okay here. Fuck with us a bit. Please.

Cynicism-addicted doomers will not be happy, but I think this is a strong first step, presuming they follow through.

This March 1965 Herblock cartoon about police violence against civil rights activists has added relevance today.

This is the GM firing an assistant coach and hoping that will be the end of the questions, except with fascism.

Well, I suppose there will always be neighborhood dogs to shoot.

Read the first paragraph of French’s first comment. Every bit of it — the impunity with which Trump is degrading the office of the President — ties back to Roberts’ despicable opinion in Trump v. US. Trump would always have been horrible, but not this overtly corrupt, without Roberts’ help.

Minnesota is absolutely doing America’s work right now, and in extraordinarily difficult conditions.

“They are using the mechanism of armed officers with masks who are killing citizens to create disruption so they can use more force to eliminate the possibility they could be removed from office and suffer criminal sanctions for the crimes they are now committing”

Riq Woolen has always been a fucking idiot, and he just confirmed it again today.

Masha Gessen, always clear-eyed and direct.

The killing of Alex Pretti is a heartbreaking tragedy. It should also be a wake-up call to every American, regardless of party, that many of our core values as a nation are increasingly under assault.

“You cannot bring a firearm, loaded, with multiple magazines to any sort of protest that you want. It's that simple.” — FBI Dir. Kash Patel

This statement by @gluesenkampperez.house.gov - a Democratic representative from my state who voted on Thursday to continue to fund ICE at current levels - is about the most gutless, both-sidesy piece of cowardly garbage imaginable. Sadly, it’s true to form. What a disgrace.

I was a sensitive kid. I loved cats. I had OCD, undiagnosed. When I was 9, a fraternity brother tortured a cat to death in my hometown. The details even now are beyond imagination. archive.is/xdmUL I was traumatized for years from reading the news story. The torturer? Now the head of the NRA.

Treat the US government and ICE claims like you'd treat a Russian government claim after they've shot down an airliner or bombed a hospital. America 2026.

an administration staffed to the top with degenerate liars

I will donate, phone bank, and knock on doors for any Democrat who promises to do everything to the Republicans in power that they’re doing to innocent people. Not talk about the price of milk. Not talk about norms. Just want a promise that the these motherfuckers will rot.

These miserable fucks.

This is courage. Looking a masked, government fascist dead in the eye, face to face, knowing full well that your life is on the line. If elected officials had 1/10th of Alex Pretti's resolve, we would have far fewer troubles.

“[M]assacre law enforcement.” These fucking mouthbreathing goons seem to think the American people are as dumb as they are.

Yes, well. They’re murderers.

Reminder: All it would take to end the murder of American citizens by an untrained government goon squad is 16 Republicans in Congress voting with Dems to defund ICE (or 23 to impeach and remove Trump — 3 in House & 20 in Senate). That’s it. 23 Americans can vote for the public and end all of this.

Yes, well, they’re comprehensive fucking liars. This is an impossible pipe dream, but the organization of a broad general tax strike — nobody pays their taxes, and in numbers too large to address — would be a way of choking off funding for these motherfuckers.

@gluesenkampperez.house.gov was one of them. What a goddamn disgrace.

“Hitler regarded [the S.A.] as purely a political force, a band to strike terror in the streets against his political opponents and to keep up political enthusiasm in the Nazi ranks.” - Shirer, William. The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich. P. 269

Look, I believe in casts, but if a parent has strongly-held anti-cast beliefs, they should be allowed to let their kid’s broken arm grow back all floppy and fucked up, even to the point of lifelong, debilitating pain. And that’s not child abuse because a kid’s bones are their parents’ property

Seeing a bunch of normal ass midwestern moms and dads marching in -20 degrees knowing they might be tear gassed or worse really drives home what a cowardly lot of people the pundit class is

Congress passed the Taft-Hartley Act in 1947 (over Truman's veto) to make general strikes so incredibly difficult to organize that there hasn't been one since. That there is a general strike happening in a major US city on such short notice is nothing short of a miracle.

Dumbest man in the world.
