I figure what we’re seeing now with Trump registers a 4, maybe 5 on the Crazed Mania scale of 10. Rage, paranoia, a growing need to inflict pain on enemies & random boats…all this will worsen. And let’s not forget he’s delusional. That’s fun.

Please go listen to, read or read about Trump’s UN speech. Then consider whether or not he is, to use the clinical term, batshit crazy. We have an insane psychopath in charge of the nukes & everything else, and we’re just muddling along. I mean, Mississippi goddam, we got to snap out of it.

Having seen DJT slip the traps again and again, I am cautious. But he is sick and demented. His base is divided. His courtiers fight among themselves. They do a lot of stupid shit. And then there’s Kimmel & the threats against opponents. People are ready to fight. We need leadership.

Where the fuck is the Rapture?? Come on already, can we get this show on the road? We have some killer tailgate parties planned when the Rapturers have raptured on out of here. Let’s go. You’re gonna miss the fiery chariot.

MAGA leaders know DJT is fading both cognitively & physically. He’ll be gone before long. The Kirk spectacle begins the move from personality cult to religious cult. Christian Nationalism already has a full head of steam. Warrior Jesus 24/7. Prepare yourselves for the American Taliban.

It is necessary to avoid anthropomorphizing animal behavior. It is far too easy to project ourselves into a world very different from our own and misunderstand. But it is also impossible to overlook compassion, grieving or parental care when we see it. We all come from the same place. Be kind.

I appreciate all the folks who are excited about the evolution of “independent news media,” podcasts, social media, etc. Thing is, these just work off reporters out there digging up real stories. What we really need is more hard-core investigations. Nonprofit ProPublica is an excellent example.

Anybody know when the rapture starts? I wanna get a good seat.

Thought experiment: Let’s say I decide to rob a bank in broad daylight and get arrested the next day with the cash. If I donate $2M to DJT, can I go free? And can I use the money I just stole for the donation? I’m just saying this feels like an innovative business model.

Well sir, our favorite malignant narcissist has gone full psychopath. He’s threatening Venezuelan fishermen now — yes, really — after blowing up 3 civilian boats without knowing who was there or if they carried drugs. Now he’s threatening Venezuela with destruction. He is evolving into chaos itself.

Trump having TikTok sold to his friends has bigger implications than the Kimmel cancel. Jimmy's platform may even get bigger if he doubles down on social media. If TikTok US skews the algorithm toward Trump, on the other hand, it could transform the online public square.

Laurens Pierce deserves better. He was a brilliant photographer who covered every step ofthe civil rights movement. Only shooter to capture the attack on George Wallace. And that famous film of the Selma bridge? Pierce. Only shooter who brought a gas mask. CBS let him go without a word of praise.

How is this not illegal? It’s dirty as shit.

Jeez, this is actually simple. The polls are terrible for Dems not because we’re all excited about new careers in the proletariat. It’s because Dem leadership is awful. As in, awful. Ignore Mamdani, don’t upset the rich donors they really serve. We need brawlers and we’ve got clueless sellouts.

Haven’t seen anyone mention what a self own it was to announce the bullet engravings. They stupidly thought it showed the shooter was a lefty. They did not have to release that info

“Transgender bullets” needs to be addressed bigly @froomkin.bsky.social

CNN @cnn-news.bsky.social has ELLE FUCKING REEVE @ellereeve.bsky.social on its staff and nobody thought to talk to her? Author of “Black Pill” woulda told you those weren’t transgender bullets www.amazon.com/Black-Pill-W...

As expected, our MAGA friends aren’t blaming rival MAGA groypers or the kid for the shooting. It’s always the libs. First they screamed this is war! Then, when the alleged shooter is revealed as a Fuentes follower, they instantly pivot to blaming “libtard” schools. They truly want our side crushed.

Can we please stop saying Trump survived an assassination attempt? He did not. He put on a little one-act stage play. Shots are fired, he slaps his unharmed ear to burst the fake blood packet. When photographers are ready, he raises his arm in fake defiance. Really, this is not a brave man.

Clever. We yield to their aggression, they leave tire tracks on our faces. We fight back, they call us terrorists & demand vengeance. I’m thinking they simply want us gone or working the fields. So the only choice is to stand your ground. Win or go out standing.

Excuse me, could I just get, there, thank you. Whew. (tap tap) Hello. I just dropped by to remind everyone to release the fucking Epstein Files. Thank you. Be sure to tip your server.

One critical difference between the Nazis and MAGA (apart from intelligence vs lunacy) is the economy. Post-WWI Germany was broken, in shambles. Inflation was unimaginable. Here the fascists work for gazillionaires and plan to keep the proles quiet with endless propaganda. Not sure that works.

Emory University caved today. Here is the bullshit sent to faculty. Outright lying that there are laws against DEI

This is fascinating. According to @markhertling.bsky.social everything in Xi’s parade sent a message. (What message did our parade send?lol) Hegseth’s “lethality” talk bullshits right by the fact that we need to be smart. China’s got nukes, robots and more. And it’s all designed to counter us.

This is what my body looked like before I got my period.

Hard to escape the notion that these thugs really intend to kill a whole bunch of people. How else to explain the cruelty? Culling the herd, as the saying goes. Industrialized slaughter, accompanied by slaves held in concentration camps? Is that a real plan??

How long before men in black start knocking on our doors asking about our BlueSky posts critical of our masters? Admit it, you’re wondering the same thing. And it’s a perfectly reasonable question now. This is where we are.

How come all these people keep saying over & over that the Trump shenanigans are “not normal”. Haven’t we reached the “no shit” phase of our fascist coup?

Fine, you can get mad at me. But at this stage, the idea of a full-on UFC match at the White House, with weigh-ins at the Lincoln Memorial, is fucking hilarious. Will we have scantily- clad ladies telling us which round is next? Will the WH be the bank for all bets? Comedy gold.

Essence of David Brooks: an op-ed in the Times entitled, “Why I Am Not a Liberal.” Dude, nobody cares. The room emptied a long time ago.

A message from me:

Anybody know why Chuck Todd keeps popping up with his usual nonsense spouted with pomp & certainty? I mean, why? Couldn’t we all chip in and send him off to colonize Mars? I’d settle for New Guinea. Or Eritrea.

The regime wants to look big and scary, but they have real problems. Trump is sick, demented, and Epstein is coming. The blue states & cities (they’re blue too) are rich & capable, very hard to control. Judges are fighting back. And what will our soldiers do when told to fight their neighbors?

It’s torture

In case you were wondering what ever happened to journo joke Rick Sanchez: He’s a Russian shill! cc @oliverdarcy.bsky.social

“following rumors of his death donald trump held a press conference announcing extrajudicial killings of civilians and plans for a military invasion of an american city” is a perfectly factual headline that could be used to describe what we saw yesterday

“Astonishing departure” of norms? How about arguably breaking international law? Also what good does it do to obliterate 11 mules and a boat but leave the entire operation in place? If drugs were headed for the US (Rubio says not) why not track so you can use it to bust the whole operation?

CNN: Epstein survivors MSNBC: Epstein survivors Fox: nah

Looks like Fox didn’t carry the survivors’ press conference but they did carry Trump’s. I don’t get it. One of the country’s premier news organizations missed the biggest sex trafficking operation in us history. They must be so embarrassed.

It took awhile but the Resistance is rising. Victims find their voices, grand juries refuse indictments, Chicago stands their ground, and the old man grows weaker every day. Keep the faith.

Any nation that does not cherish and protect its children will fail, deservedly so. Let us hope the ones responsible for the nightmares they impose on us will receive their just desserts.

I for one am thrillled at the prospect of Eric Trump running for President in 2028. Hell, I’ll lead the effort to get him nominated. Thing is, would the electorate rip him to pieces like a pack of wolves or just follow him around as he bleeds out? I’d pay good money to watch.

Getting very little attention is the regime’s plan to destroy Medicare along with Medicaid. Theirs is a stealthy plan. Make patients seek approval for treatment from a private company incented to deny coverage. Just like private insurers do. They’re wiping out every decent thing in this country.

Just for the record, Giuliani was always a POS. Horrible mayor, horrible, mobbed-up scumbug. Also, he disrespects the Oxford comma.

More and more I’m coming around to the notion that these jamokes know how to take control of the executive branch; they just don’t know how to hold it. Incompetent doesn’t begin to capture their nonsense. Odds are growing that the whole rancid enterprise will collapse under its own weight.

Ima be honest here. The casting of Stephen Miller as the dime store villain in our absurd Death of Stalin remake is just a little too on the nose, no?

I don’t think we’ve pointed out enough that Donald Trump wears diapers (yes, really) and literally stinks. The images of people around him reacting to the smell are hilarious. And this jamoke is president.

We know with certainty that Trump has real and serious cardiac problems. We know he showed up even when he had Covid. At the least this is unusual enough that Professor Occam would say there’s something sketchy here.
