Awoke to the sequel based in Venezuela. But, alas, no enlightened Smedley Butler.

So fmr Honduran President Hernandez voluntarily surrendered, and was duly extradited, tried and convicted for drug trafficking, and Trump pardoned him 6w ago. And this morning, Trump illegally attacks Venezuela and abducts its president and his wife purportedly to try them for drug trafficking.

We've been upgraded from 'forever wars' to 'whatever wars'.

Can’t believe the winner of both the Israel Peace Prize and FIFA Peace Prize has started 2026 with an oil war.

During his run for president Donald J. Trump repeatedly said he wouldn't start any new wars. I created a montage from his first 50 campaign stops. Promises not kept.

CBS expresses the essence of MAGA.

"If it wasn’t Shirley’s video, it would have been something else. If it wasn’t MN, it would have been somewhere else. If it wasn’t about daycare fraud, it would have been something else. Everything this administration does is about creating a fig leaf to justify its violent dismantling of democracy"

Barron has an “unbelievable aptitude in technology”. He can text with Andrew Tate on his phone or his computer. He can get dating advice from Tate via WhatsApp. He can explore the wonders of misogyny with Tate online. He can stream Tate's advice on subjugating "hos" at any hour. Takes after Dad.

Yes, the NYT has been exasperating over this past year. Their squishy, euphemizing, sane-washing has been disgusting. But, credit where due, kudos for 2 excellent pieces in one week. Both are gift links below: 1/2

2025 saw a quarter of all wealth generated funneled to just 8 individuals. That amount of wealth is obscene, deeply corrupting and completely unnecessary for even the most extravagant lifestyle. Tax. Them. Now.

"Its not a crime if no one punishes me" @anntelnaes.bsky.social

There's no mystery why MAGA is 10:1 for child predator arrests. Deficits in both empathy & conscience correlate with both MAGA enthusiasm and child predation. MAGA's only "remedy" is projection.

“…The public really hates right-wing policies. Loathing Democrats for perceived sanctimony is all the GOP has. Running candidates who are even more sanctimonious — but about Christian right policies — isn’t going to make Republicans more popular.” Stay the course, GOP.

Says the guy who is itching to murder peaceful anti-Trump protesters

I agree with Trump. He should have to take a “strong, meaningful and proven cognitive examination”, i.e., full neuropsychological testing battery, not just a dementia screening task that he inflates. Because, as he notes, we don’t want stupid or incompetent people. Also: psychopathy screening.

Vance has a vision for America. No apologies; no decency. 2025: “…for being white…” 2026: “…for being racist…” 2027: “…for being Nazi…” 2028: “…for imprisoning the opposition in camps…”

If you got $1 million, you can pretty much commit any crime you want and Trump will pardon you. I would recommend Pam Bondi’s brother for representation. He seems to get the best results, for some reason.

According to the new rules, if you and a few friends go to a defense contractor’s testing facility and you say “where are the missiles” and they don’t let you in then all federal funds for defense contractors will be frozen

Local CBS Minnesota story proves America’s been duped by right wing propagandist Nick Shirley & his “fraud” story about ABC Learning Center. I’m sure MAGAs will still find a way to deny the facts, because they don’t care about justice, they care about white supremacy. youtube.com/shorts/1bAzC...

Pretty sure this is the best reporting I've seen explaining this youtube.com/shorts/f_l9X...

Two juxtaposed quotes from WSJ. First, erstwhile physician Oz on Trumpian comprehension. Second, Trump: If a bit of aspirin is good, much more is better. His abject dumbassery may well cause hemorrhagic stroke. Like everything else, he knows more about medicine than anyone. And Oz concurs.

Not Somali.

Psychopath Trump imposed his predatory happy endings for years. May his habits impose a different kind of happy ending for the world.

Our revolution "was a revolt against three ancient tyrannies that had dominated human society for thousands of years. Warlord kings. The morbidly rich. And theocrats." "Today, every one of those tyrannies is back" & working together. MAGA: warlord/oligarchic/theocratic state that feigns patriotism

Our Solar System is orbiting the center of our Galaxy at about 220 km/s so in 2025 we collectively traveled something like 7 billion kilometers across the Milky Way. Once in a while, when you have a moment, it’s worthwhile to take a look around, see where you are, and appreciate how far you’ve come.

Just making sure that 2025 is definitely over

May 2026 be the fulcrum leading to the fall both of tyrannical Islamic mullahs in Iran & tyrannical “MAGA Christians” in America. Both are inimical to freedom and decency.

“They say aspirin is good for thinning out the blood & I don’t want thick blood pouring through my heart,” Trump said of his habitual overdosing against Dr’s advise. “I want nice, thin blood pouring through my heart. Does that make sense?”  Yessir, big nice sense, sir. www.wsj.com/us-news/as-s...

The change won’t be this clear cut. But there are innumerable indications that change is coming. Aiming for realistic assessment of the threats but optimism nonetheless. The majority of Americans are coming to see who the real “enemies within” are in 2026.

I can hear the explosions in Brooklyn as the Socialists make their advance through Prospect Park. Pray for us.

DHS now says it's aiming for 100 million deportations. In an amazing coincidence, there are 104 million Black and Hispanic people living in the U.S. right now.

Part-owner Umi Hassan said she lived here right after 9/11 and didn’t feel as marginalized and fearful as she does today. She’s unable to sleep at night and carries her passport everywhere. Tears running down her face, she asked, “What else can I do to be an American?" --- So fucking awful.

Pay attention. Believe that they are planning the worst.

The idea that we need to deport 100 million people - almost one out of every three Americans! - was, a year ago, a deranged claim you’d hear from neo-Nazis to give themselves permission for limitless mass violence. Now it’s coming directly from this horrific agency’s horrific press office

Unlike Frank Costanza's annual airing of the grievances, Patron Saint Donald airs the grievances many times per day, every day. And he declares The Golden Trump Economy a Festivus Miracle.

Question: Did anyone from the White House, including President Biden, ever tell you they expected you to bring charges against Donald Trump? Smith: No.

Half way through the Jack Smith transcript and it’s become abundantly clear why Jim Jordan didn’t want public testimony. Jordan spends a lot of time whining about the toll subpoenas, and Jack Smith shuts him down every time.

NEW: Jack Smith's team interviewed Giuliani, and when asked whether Rudy believed his own lies about election fraud, Jack Smith said he did not, and that neither did Donald Trump.

orcas have the chance to do the funniest thing

I don’t know why Trump thinks that “kicking the can down the road until everybody forgets about the bad stuff he’s done and there’s no further consequences” would work, other than the fact that it has always worked for him for the first 79 1/2 years of his life.

Evidence to convict multiple crimes. “repeatedly tried to obstruct justice” "by a large measure the most culpable & most responsible" “claims that were so outlandish & so just fantastical” "could prove Trump knew the claims he was making about election fraud were false" So DOJ will indict SMITH.🙄

They're sure "feminism ruined women." So MAGA Bros are the strangest mix of those who want to impregnate and control all Aryan women + those who find actual sex disgusting or "gay" + (shockingly) "the male loneliness epidemic". Oh, and The Sexual Matador himself. 🤮

Yes, we hate to see his smirk & hear his nazi-bark. But mic him up and put him on TV relentlessly. He has none of Trump's vaunted "dark rizz." Any still-decent person feels only contempt/disgust for him. Make him the albatross around the GOP's neck. Temu Goebbels, daily. Make all of GOP own him.

Many blame immigrants, DEI or "takers" for USA not running. Without blaming the real takers masquerading as makers. They've seized control of government, installing oligarchy. In so doing, they've destroyed decency, accountability & liberty. Forks & pitchforks, people. @garthtoons.bsky.social
