UPDATE: More donors funding the demolition of the East Wing for Trump's $250M ballroom have been identified

I’d say “eat the rich” but they probably taste like ketamine and microplastics

"Get out of my country.” Dinesh D’Souza: "The Right never used to talk like this. So who on our side has legitimized this type of vile degradation? It’s a question worth thinking about.” Gee, that's quite a puzzler. Easier to ask who HASN'T, either actively/tacitly. www.salon.com/2025/10/21/k...

34 people killed in 50 days. Their guilt or innocence unknown, for an alleged crime that doesn't carry a death sentence. That's a lot of death. adamisacson.com/boat-strikes/

When she's wearing her $50k Rolex to mock prisoners, she certainly can't get to the mocking photo-op cosplay in some chump-ass $50 million dollar plane, now can she? If you "think" like Kristi Noem, it all makes sense. www.jalopnik.com/2003660/kris...

“A considerable amount of athletically allergic candidates” is bad enough, but greater concern is the number of "Intelligenzallergiker" (aptly, in German: intelligence allergic) recruits & especially the number w/o conscience, willing to do anything to anyone. www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...

“You can’t be a God-fearing Christian man & treat people the way he does in the DOD.” But you CAN be a MAGA Christian god-fearing man & be as awful, even lethal to your enemies as the MAGA-god-in-your-mind wants you to be, even "invoking the name of Jesus." www.theatlantic.com/national-sec...

By way of thanking Donald for not escalating with Tomahawks, I just killed a bunch of children at a Kharkiv kindergarten.

The Trump administration had high hopes that its compact would be accepted by every university. Alas, it appears that every university rejected the administration except for its safety school. open.substack.com/pub/danieldr...

Nelson's Victory crew included a Brazilian and a Russian, 2 Indians, 2 Swiss, 2 Portuguese, 3 Danes and 3 Norwegian sailors. There were 3 Germans, 4 Italians, 6 Swedes, 7 Dutchmen, 9 West Indians and an African, as well as 21 Americans, 63 Irish, 64 Scots, 441 English.... oh, and 3 French men, too.

The list is long... For @contrariannews.org Beat the algorithms. Follow my work on Substack: nickanderson.substack.com

uh ... guided missile warheads?

I wonder if that new ballroom will be big enough to hold a Nuremberg trial.

The average age of U.S. homebuyers is now 56, up from 49 last year. In 1981, the year trickledown economics began, it was 31.

✅Nazi posts. ✅Skeevy sexual come-on to co-worker. ✅Mommy coming to his defense, in person. ✅Devout MAGA Christian Catholic. No wonder he's the nominee to lead Office of Special Counsel. He checks all the MAGA Bro boxes.

"...able to afford any material pleasure he wants, likely long isolated from any real friends & surrounded by employees effectively paid to agree that everything he utters is genius, even if it makes no sense at all." Silicon Valley to Starbase,Texas to the Oval Office. All the same hollow men. (⬇️)

In an old movie called “Fantastic Voyage,” scientists were miniaturized and inserted into a patient’s bloodstream on a mission to remove a clot in his brain. I've been thinking about the clot lodged in the media’s brain since 2015. So I took a voyage into the media's thought process. My new piece.

Expected, 12/02/2025: Roberts' MAGA SCOTUS Gang, by 6-3 vote, affirms that Our Exalted Unitary Executive can, via official act of plenary power, issue a preemptive pardon for would-be or actual assassins as the framers envisioned. "Indeed," said the Chief Justice, "originalism demands it."

It's as if West Wing collided with House of Cards, The Diplomat & The Death of Stalin, but, damn, is it ever refreshing to even consider that our dissolute country could muster such an assault on its domestic enemies, performing the righteous colonic America sorely requires.

If people who know their history keep comparing you to Nazis, the fault is not with the people making the comparisons.

With no Voting Rights Act, there'd have been no Obama x 8 yrs. Roberts' MAGA Gang is intent on preventing such democracy. Surest sign we do NOT live in a post-racial society is when the Gang insists we do by taking racist actions. Kavanaugh Stops/Roberts Elections. open.substack.com/pub/davidpep...

Yes, he believes this. His “I settled 8 wars” shows the autocrat’s mindset. Tell a lie, repeat it until it feels true, then demand the world conform to it. In his reality, truth isn’t discovered. It’s declared. Once he says it, it becomes real, and everyone else is expected to obey the fiction.

Republican Leaders are simultaneously saying that the Jews funded No Kings rallies AND No Kings rallies were promoting antisemitic h/t @atrupar.com

You can tell Trump dumped feces on liberals in that video because if it was MAGA they would’ve had their mouths open begging for more.

Both the Feces Fighter video & this image are startling metaphors.

“We are normal, well-adjusted, and sane” says member of the party that invented the “diarrhea plane.”

Apex predators leveraged poverty, trauma history, dissociation, threats & drug use to control, rape & pimp underage girls. Vile people all. (Only Melinda Gates could perceive it!🙄) Expose them the entire ring of men. No pardon for Maxwell. Release all Epstein-related files.

Kudos, Miles Bruner. "At every mile marker, I’ve rationalized, compartmentalized & found every excuse to stay." Listened to stirrings of conscience to which many have grown deaf. GOPers who leave now should be welcomed. Those who wait until Trump/MAGA dies should never be forgiven their Vichy ways.

"The distinction between delusions & mistaken beliefs is that delusional beliefs remain unchanged in the face of clear, reasonable evidence to the contrary. This distinction is sometimes difficult to make when the beliefs are plausible" (e.g., America was doing okay so will continue to be okay).

Imagine FDR: Adolf told me it was a blitzkrieg, not a war He told me it was annexation, not invasion He told me the camps are only for 'the worst of the worst' He told me his Nuremberg Laws are only for enemies within He told me the superior Aryans will rule an empire x 1000 years I believe him

Has Vance said he’s just a kid doing dumb things? Has Stefanik condemned him, but then, once she heard Vance, instead condemned those who were offended by having a loaded gun pointed at them? Has Trump given him the Medal of Freedom & appointed him to head BATF? www.timesleader.com/news/1721676...

Apex predators leveraged poverty, trauma history, dissociation, threats & drug use to control, rape & pimp underage girls. Vile people all. Only Melinda Gates could perceive it!🙄 (And who is the “former minister” she left unnamed?) No pardon for Maxwell. Release all Epstein-related files.

A lot of centrist commentators who genuinely got worked up about the unforgivably insulting nature of "cling to guns and religion" or "basket of deplorables" are weirdly silent about Trump portraying himself as literally shitting on American cities

DC J6: 1.500 arrests DC No Kings: zero Tell me again which side is violent?

Finally came across video of an arrest at a #NoKings event yesterday. 🙄

“In hindsight, do you think the United States was right or wrong to vote to leave Constitutional democracy, rule of law, equal rights, freedom from jackbooted federal thugs roaming the streets, and common decency in government?”

America is being run by people whose social media presence would see them getting fired from a part time job stacking shelves. If you worked at Aldi and posted a video of you pouring shit all over Aldi customers, you wouldn't work at Aldi.
