This means a great deal to me. I lose sleep over it. It’s “whence,” not “from whence.” Okay?? Folks, grammar patrol is a calling.

I do understand that Cong. Massie is conservative & all that entails. But right now I don’t give a shit. He and Cong. Khanna have shown remarkable courage and perseverance in the Trump/Epstein scandal. And they have changed American history in the process. Respect to real patriots.

There are still people who don’t know the Trump tariffs are intentionally a regressive sales tax on Americans? It massively shifts the tax burden to the middle class and below. All while the rich pay fewer and fewer taxes or none at all. Greatest heist in history.

What a timeline! For those that don’t know, China has been slowly enveloping Russia’s land over in northern Siberia and Putin cannot do much about it because his military is so spread out.

You know the “gradually, then suddenly” rule applies to Trump too, no? I think the crackup momentum is building fast. In response, the lunatic knows one thing: hit back twice as hard, rinse, repeat. These forces are headed for a collision. And a reckoning of some kind.

All these folks bitching about a boring Super Bowl don’t know what they saw: a superb Seattle defense at the top of their game. Brilliant, aggressive play-calling too. That’s real football. It’s not all whiz bang. We saw the NFL version of a killer chess match.

Loooooong list of grievances (see whole thread). Makes George III look like a supporter of democracy.

You know, first time I got a look at the terminally smug face of Bessent, I hated his guts. Didn’t have to say a word, though that did make it worse. Actually, all these rich fucks have the same officious leer. I wasn’t always like this, but Jesus, they’re so gleefully monstrous.

I would just like to say Bad Bunny’s performance was absolutely, positively a political statement (and a whole lot more), and it was exactly what we needed to hear. Brilliant in so many ways. This one the NFL got right. And Seattle won, so yay.

So the Epstein/Trump circle is basically the Christmas Adventurers Club?

People complaining that last night’s Superbowl was boring. It was actually a straight-up killer demonstration of defensive strength & strategy. The top defense in the NFL put on a show. Gonzalez for Patriots was also outstanding.

What’s so puzzling about the fact that Dem admins dramatically outperform R admins economically? Dems apply classic Keynesian monetary policies. Rs favor “supply-side economics.” Put more simply, they steal from the poor to give to the rich.

What with all chaos and background noise, it’s too easy to overlook the courage and perseverance of the Epstein survivors. We see the heroism in the Battle of Minneapolis. Well, the survivors are out there too, day after day, refusing to move. No fear. They’re the best of us.

Bless them.

Over on Slate, I see Chauncey DeVega is blowing up the fantasy that Trumpism is fading. As a demented malignant narcissist & Putin/Cohn disciple, Trump has one strategy always. Attack, attack, attack. He’ll keep raising the stakes. Doesn’t mean he’ll win. But it’s an ugly fight to the end.

As expected 2026 midterms elections are gonna be a mess, chaos Trump will do everything from interfering w voting, seizing votes and machines, denying results claiming fraud, crimes, foreign interference, refuse to accept the results, recess congress, declare insurrection

Welp, looks like Trump’s glitching neural network is entering the Thelma and Louise cliff dive phase. You may have noticed his ideas get wackier and ever more dangerous by the hour. Our “leaders” seem to be ok with this lunatic driving blindfolded at 3 AM with no headlights. Brace for impact.

If you think the Trump revelations in the Epstein Files (which barely scratch the surface) are going to move the needle with the MAGA devotees, you’re dreaming. They already know all the crimes and do not care. Trump is God’s man and that’s that.

Maybe it’s just me, probably is, but do you think it’s at all possible our President is a little wrong in the head? Could that be?

Lotsa folks shocked, shocked that “Melania” made $8M at the box office. Yeah, well, remember how some right-wing hoohah would write a dumbass book and it would shoot to the top of the NY Times book sales? Man, that was rich folk scamming with mass purchases. Same thing here. Always with the scams.

From the black humor/irony file: Deputy Blanche steps up to say 50% of the Epstein Files are now released. Nogo on the rest because they’re so horrific. To our surprise the new release had docs describing DJT’s pedophilia until *poof* they suddenly disappeared. Really? Stupidest coverup ever.

Mark my words, the Battle of Minneapolis is where fascism met its match, where an entire city, armed only with their bodies, voices and cameras, stood their ground day after day, night after night. The goal was to break them and they failed. Minneapolis, you have inspired a nation! We are with you!

I was thinking we should throw a party to thank Merrick Garland for fucking over the entire nation and, it appears, the world as well. History will remember his part in turning the US into a dumbshit fascist state. Before we cut the cake, he can tell us again how he returned norms to the DOJ.

The time to rise against the corporate overlords is now! youtu.be/3WH2zXxfAJw?...

I don’t get it. Are these Trumpists so insulated from the world outside their lunatic bubble that they genuinely believed adoring crowds would swarm into theaters to worship…Melania? Nope. She’s in for a world of humiliation that will be brief. We’re all a little distracted by the rise of fascism.

And this?

Trump just threatened Springsteen. We’re way up in the weeds now.

I think it’s the Epstein files, Mr. 34-fraud-convictions.

Medgar Evers, Emmett Till, Fred Hampton, Tulsa, Rosewood, Malcolm X, Dr. King. This shit we got ain’t new. It’s just way bigger and the entire force of the United States government is aimed at subduing the population. By any means necessary.

All this Gestapo stuff is being led by Stephen Miller, our own Goebbels. If Miller avoids prison because, well, this is America, then I like ostracism. Businesses everywhere refuse to serve him in any way. And when people see him, they all turn their backs until he’s gone. Make him the living dead.

Dear Commander Bovino, You used to laugh about everybody that was hanging out. Now you don’t talk so loud. Now you don’t seem so proud about having to scrounge your next meal. How does it feel to be on your own?

Everybody should show up for Trump’s funeral. Will be wild!

Brett Ratner trying to come back from his forced exile by directing the Melania movie is distilled self-own.

Little known fact: Bovino was the model for Elf on the Shelf.

Trump hopes that by firing Bovino it will placate enough people to take some of the heat off ICE so they can resume their gestapo shit with less scrutiny. Fuck that. Let's enjoy the small victory, but then get right back to fighting. ICE must be abolished, anything less isn't enough.

A while back I wrote the Trumpists are the dog that caught finally caught a car. I was wrong. They are the dog that caught a fully loaded semi. The Battle of Minneapolis lit a fire. New game.

I would put on my dancing shoes if it turned out the republic were saved not by Democratic leadership, not by law firms or corporations or universities. It will have been saved by the people of Minneapolis who stood their ground against fascist attacks. They have awakened a sleeping nation.

Downfall Bovino Edition. You're welcome.

The lying is the story The lying ensures it will happen again

Been reading about the rise of Hitler. That’s all I have to say about.

Oh no. I got blocked because I’m supposed to be being mean to all Americans because their government is evil. I understand the complexity of this time. I think the USA is on the brink of civil war. I think people understand it. My being cruel to them until then will not improve any of this.
