I think the National Press Photographers Association needs to adopt rules requiring photojournalists to shoot Trump from below (with lots of neck) or to mimic photographs of war criminals. Take the goddamn gloves off.

Since most golf courses are Superfund-level toxic waste dumps, asbestos would be par for the course. The chemicals used to keep the grass green, the excessive amount of water use, and the economically restrictive nature of golf make golf courses a very poor land use, mostly used by a few white men.

Economic pundits have called this a "K"-shaped economy. That's bullshit. They show a K with equal arms suggesting that half the country is doing well and the other half suffering. Actually most are worse off, but a tiny group of wealthy Americans is simply spending more. This look like a K to you?

He's not lucid.The entire nation of Canada did not "use" an ad featuring Ronald Reagan. Conservative Doug Ford, premier of Ontario, aired an ad in which Reagan dissed tariffs. What bearing $75K ($54K US) has on anything is anybody's guess. ALSO, COMMAS ARE, NOT, RANDOM. THERE ARE, RULES. DUMB, ASS.

Racists and intolerant people aren't just racist and intolerant toward one religion, one skin color, one gender, one sexual preference. When someone shows that they are willing to prey on anyone's bigotry, they're signalling that they're willing to prey on everyone's bigotry. And you're next.

Anybody else thinking that Trump will pardon Diddy, then appoint him Executive Director Of The White House Ballroom?

I don't foresee any timeline in which this ends well. #musk

Once construction begins, the ballroom will be the only erection Trump will have had in office.

It was 55,000 square feet. NAs of this moment it's 45,000 square feet, 44,500 square feet, 43,800 square feet...

Not a fan of the new $20 bill…

Trump said he'd use private donor funds to build his ballroom. "Trump suggested he might donate any proceeds or use them to fund a ballroom he is building at the White House." It's you. You're the donor.

No environmental impact, no engineering, probably no permits, no historical society ok, no clue where money (i.e. influence) is from, no transparency on contractors, no apparent security measures. If you needed confirmation that Trump is dying, watch. He's building his memorial as fast as he can.

I can't wait to develop some new pre-existing conditions requiring medication. I could make a mint off them paying me for my prescriptions. It's like farm subsidies but you don't have to own any land.

"(The Atlantic) also cited an internal email lamenting a wave of 'athletically allergic' candidates." I think we knew this from watching some of their "chases" or noting the beer guts poking out of their tac gear. But "athletically allergic" is something I intend to use ruthlessly from now on. #ICE

Nice to know that the most American house is being torn apart by an excavator made by a Swedish company. Was that pre- or post-tariff?

Those other things... “We need competent white men in positions of leadership" “MLK Jr. was the 1960s George Floyd and his ‘holiday’ should be ended" “I do have a Nazi streak in me from time to time" “Blacks behave that way because that’s their natural state … You can’t change them" This guy's Fa.

The most gobsmacking part is that the DOJ spokesperson (writing with the inexplicably snotty holier-than-thou mean-girl attitudes that the regime spox are apparently born with), instead of denying that it was Halligan, confirmed the contents of the convo and that it was Halligan texting the author.

If only...

My dog puts his mark on things, too. With the same effect. it's not exactly an accomplishment.

I don't know how anyone could confuse "release the Epstein files" with "release George Santos". They don't sound anything alike.

Apparently a number of Portland protesters are using this Bible verse, Exodus 8:2, in their protest signs: "And if thou refuse to let them go, behold, I will smite all thy borders with frogs." Behold. Consider them smited.

My favorite moment from the "No Kings" in Olympia today was when a lone fascist with a bullhorn was scared off by a woman in a bear suit making pelvic thrusts at him. I don't know if it was the sexual gesture or the bear costume that scared him but he left in a hurry. Unfortunately I wasn't filming.

My poster for the protest today. Lifelong liberals, both my parents served in WWII, my mother in the WACS stateside and my father in the Navy in Europe. He was at 3 landings (Salerno, Anzio, and the South of France). They met in uniform and had 3 little Antifa babies, all of whom are marching today.

Hey, Trump! Who has the cards to play now, loser?

Mike Johnson apparently hasn't updated his optical subscription since 1998, because the guy can't see anything. Mike, a second pair at Costco Optical is $50 off right now. You really could use a pair.

Back in the old metal type days, there was a phrase, "etaoin shrdlu" that sometimes appeared in newspaper. It came from Linotype operators running off a slug of type from the first two lines of the machine and appeared only by accident. I present the "etaoin shrdlu" of our new AI world (via Google).

Saw an ad for multivitamins for mature people. It said that it provided everything that people needed to enjoy life in their golden years. Looked up ingredients online. No timed-release OxyContin, no Zoloft, no amphetamine in it at all. Guess I need to file another "Truth in advertising" complaint.

If you're wondering what these people look like since they deride people based on their appearance, here are the key players in the chats (from the politico article). The cream of the GOP crop.

ICE has hired all the J6 offenders, domestic abuse convicts, military and police rejects, and internal affairs washouts available. Trump’s going to have to pardon some death row inmates and lifers to find people violent and stupid enough to satisfy his base.

Today is a federal holiday which means government offices are closed today. Also tomorrow and for the foreseeable future. Unless you're in the House of Representatives, in which case you've already had most of August, September, and half of October off. It's like Ramadan, only longer and no fasting.

Vance manages to insult Native Americans, Palestinians, Israelis, and Gaza hostages all in one tweet. Truly a unique skill-set.

Happy "First Asian Crossing the Land Bridge Day", over 20000 years ago. Now that was someone of their time. When we don't view history through a Western lens, things come into better focus.

Putin keeps poking NATO in hopes that they might be willing to make concessions in Ukraine ceasefire or peace negotiations (if they happen) to avoid war with Russia, which really isn't a threat. Because war has worked out SOOO well for Russia.

When Bob was WA Attorney General he sued Trump's ass off every chance he got (probably why DJT wears diapers now). What did they think was going to happen?

No Kings: attendance isn't optional. Excuse 1: Kid's soccer game Future 1: You have to stand, right arm raised, singing the "Charlie Kirk Song" before every game. Excuse 2: There might be violence Future 2: Your partner is flung to the ground, cuffed and disappeared. Excuse 3: I'm busy that day.⬇️

Not only is RFK Jr. not a doctor, he's the antithesis of a doctor. He's an antidoc. If the doctor's creed is "First, do no harm", Kennedy's is "First do lots of harm, then try to justify it despite not knowing what he's talking about, then make up some proof".

Bill "Bone saw" Burr doesn't see the problem in culture-washing a repressive murderous regime. He's probably trying out as a speechwriter for Trump's 3rd term, because his Saudi blood money won't last forever and he probably sawed his career into little tiny pieces and made it disappear.

Bobby: "Children, when a man and a woman love each other very much, but the man still wants to fuck hundreds of other woman and keep a diary, or have an affair with a woman 40 years younger than him, he uses a jimmy hat like the one I'm wearing so a baby doesn't wind up in some nasty old placenta."

Thiel has Billionaire's Disease. They think that because of that one time they were right about something that now they're right about everything. They're wrong about that.

💙✌️

I've seen pictures of the devil. He's got a red face, big ears, and is kind of glossy because it's apparently hot in Hell. This picture looks like him.

@bluestormcomin1.bsky.social Come on Folks, let’s make viral this photo @barackobama.bsky.social Thank you SIR #NobelPeacePrize @mlipsitt.bsky.social #Influencers @dpsl.bsky.social #BlueVoters @tonyhq1985.bsky.social @terriresists.bsky.social @sistergf.bsky.social @lemonadegirl.bsky.social

President Trump blows up boats and kills people off the coast of Venezuela without due process. María Corina Machado fights for free and fair elections against the repressive government of Venezuela. Guess which one won the Nobel Peace Prize. The ketchup will be flying tonight.

Trump-Epstein Shutdown from here on in. Kudos.

What a relief. Now everyone in Argentina can feel safe that their universal healthcare is not endangered.

RFK Jr., cut or uncut? Surely some woman (maybe hundreds of women) has his dick pic. I'm think MTG would really like to see what his worm looks like, if he hasn't shown her already.

Might also be a bribe for Paulson to keep quiet about Epstein, since Paulson is also associated with Epstein. Maybe he knows things about Trump. The people in Jeffrey's "little black book" seem to be doing very well under this administration.

The arches that you see in eurocentric architecture were inspired by Roman triumphal arches, usually to celebrate Roman Emperors' "battle triumphs". If we keep going down this road, he'll be building a Colosseum next...to host Democrats vs. lions matches. "We are Rome" Gregg Popovich on Trump 2016.

If this keeps up, and the US falls behind thanks to The Regime, at some point all the other nations of the world are going to chip in to buy a dome that covers the US, a la "The Truman Show", and keeps all the pollution in. And make reality TV out of the USA's struggle to survive.

I don't know why people keep calling her ICE Barbie. Barbie is a inanimate, non-sentient toy made mostly of plastic. Oh wait, I see it now.
