This is Tim Heidecker’s magnum opus

“The debris field of the East Wing, the dust bowl White House lawn, the ghost town of a ‘state fair,’ the paper mâché arch, the Kennedy Center tarps, and the toxic slime reflecting pool are all great, but can we squeeze in one more metaphor for an empire in decline?” “Say less.”

Hot take: it’s bad for America when wealth is concentrated in the hands of a few, and it’s worse when it’s concentrated in the hands of drug-addled assholes.

I just look back over the entire arc of his career and I have to wonder, how on earth did he so disastrously miscalculate this move? He could not have screwed this up worse if he was trying.

Thomas, Gorsuch and Alito should be impeached for ruling contrary to the Constitution. Seriously. They ignored the plain text to promote a racist, partisan, and frankly pretty fucking idiotic position. They deserve to lose their jobs over this.

The world’s richest man is openly cheering for the Day of the Rope, and this is just what Sundays are like now in the fascist hellscape we live in.

He would vastly prefer to watch tens of thousands of service members and hundreds of thousands of civilians die than admit that, maybe, just maybe, he fucked up bigly.

MechaHitler’s living up to its name again.

Trump isn’t capable of stopping this war. This Congress isn’t capable of stopping this war. Putting the GOP back in charge was monumentally stupid and everyone responsible—from uber-rich funders to the lowliest rubes—needs to take stock of how bad things got once they got what they wanted in 2024.

I’m not judging. Workers know the pace the job requires, and I’m just a spectator here. …but I bet a half-dozen IATSE guys could have had that scaffold up and safe in about an hour. Just saying.

Had an interaction last night at a Democratic event that I can’t quite shake. A guest said that she was uncomfortable saying “Abolish ICE.” I asked if that wasn’t the right policy outcome. She agreed it was. She just didn’t think it would sell, and would come off like “defund the police.”

Ah, hell.

What a toddler.

We quite literally have a whites only refugee program and somehow the media won’t call the Administration white supremacists.

AFAIK (and I am admittedly no expert), I think this may be only the fifth time the ISS crew has ever been ordered to shelter in their capsule, and the four earlier ones were due to potential collisions with debris.

“Ninjas aren’t going anymore. Salt shakers are all normal sizes. Zeros are getting girls and heroes are getting dropped. It’s bullshit.”

I just can’t pretend to be surprised at this point, and I don’t know how anyone else can, either. I like his positions! I think more Democrats should say what he’s said in this campaign! I can’t imagine what the hell people who’ve stood behind him these past 7 months thought was going to happen!

His right eye is also looking very swollen. This is the only public appearance he’s had in a week, and it was a pre-taped interview. Sure looks like there is something medically wrong with him that the White House is hiding from Congress and the public.

Interesting that a guy who ran on law & order and ending wars has decimated the ranks of both career prosecutors and career diplomats. You know, I’m starting to think this Trump fella might not be on the level.

So Olivia Miles is pretty good at this whole basketball thing, huh?

It’s kind of incredible what an unbroken string of shithead candidates Texas Republicans have given America over the past 30 years. Just an amazing run of anuses.

ICE will not stop. We must stop it. #AbolishICE

Christ, this aged well.

Good. The Smithsonian Women’s History Museum is essential, but shouldn’t—no, can’t—be subject to the whims of a damned rapist. rollcall.com/2026/05/21/w...

I expect the phrase “unenforceable on grounds of public policy” is going to become much more relevant in the very near future.

To be clear, I’ve had this shirt since the Diamond Jubilee www.calton-books.co.uk/clothing/abo...

Update: the (now-former) cop was just indicted for first-degree manslaughter, largely in the basis that he shot a man on the ground.

Oh, well, I suppose as long as they steal taxpayer money in jingoistic amounts like $1,776,000,000, it’s not massive corruption on an unprecedented scale and wildly impeachable, it’s “celebrating America.”

I feel like 2026 might be the most destructive year for American military aircraft since at least Vietnam. I think we’re already at least at 12 fixed-wing losses just since March.

The next 20 years of the GOP—assuming we survive the next 2.5—will be a bunch of schmucks pretending they had no way of knowing they’d empowered a whole cabal of absolute morons.

I’ve read Vonnegut since I was a child. He was one of the first serious authors I ever read. And while I read most of his works as a teen, it’s been over twenty years since I had the euphoria and horror of reading a novel of his for the first time. I just finished Mother Night. It was magical.

Connecticut’s GOP primary for governor just effectively ended after Mayor Stewart’s massive (second) corruption scandal kills her campaign. www.nbcconnecticut.com/news/local/n...

Absolutely the fuck not.

Really important read from @juddlegum.bsky.social and Popular Information. The cost we spent to buy stuff is not the same as the cost we’ll have to spend to replace it.

This guy needs to spend more time on witness stands. Right, @nationalsecuritylaw.org ?

Fact check: False. This ancient turd, Donald J. Trump, raped E. Jean Carroll.

The confluence of the rise of the Internet and the fall of antitrust enforcement has created more monsters than we’re equipped to slay.

Based on details in an older news report (link to archived version below), this CT Insider article somewhat downplays what Carroll allegedly did. www.ctinsider.com/connecticut/...

How the hell can you cause $250 million in damages to a reputation that’s worth less than a Coke and a Snickers?

Dad’s book is out, and well-reviewed! www.routledge.com/Twice-Burned...

This crap is even harder to swallow than his food.

Trump will spend the morning trying to redefine who can be a citizen, the afternoon touting a rocketry program, and the evening trying to sell us on an illegal war of aggression, all while concentration camps litter the country. This might be the single most Nazi day of his entire Nazi presidency.

It’s both terrifying and clarifying that the Republican Party has been completely taken over by Nazi assholes.

Proud to be one of 93 local government leaders who are amici in tomorrow’s SCOTUS case on Trump’s fascist attack against birthright citizenship. To hell with these Nazi dipshits who would try to claim the power to declare who is or isn’t an American. www.supremecourt.gov/DocketPDF/25...

Fascism is extremely stupid, and only appeals to the extremely stupid.

He’ll be asleep by the second “oyez.”
