Oh my gosh, the Boston Globe's fake front page in 2017 even caught the "Trump/Nobel Prize angle"... talk about prescient...

Had to steal this from someone - it was too good to just scroll by....

It's Brian Bilston Day!

It’s funny because it isn’t 😕 🇺🇸

A little accurate commentary on Chump's talk at the UN...

Lentil soup with onion, garlic, carrot, celery, zucchini, tomatoes, and basmati rice cooked in homemade vegetable broth. For spices, I ground chili peppers, cinnamon, cardamom, clove, cumin, and coriander, and after the soup was done, I squeezed in the juice of four lemons.

No one was talking about you, personally, or saying that there aren't any Christians who are good people. (As for lying, no, that outfit definitely does not make you look fat! 😜)

COMING THIS SUMMER TO ABC: the obeying-in-advance Olympics. Executives and owners of America’s largest corporations compete to see who can decipher the whims and musings of an aging, addled authoritarian and OBEY! IN! ADVANCE! Tune in this summer. It will be the only thing left on TV (or TikTok).

At least i won't be worried about any MAGAts suffering from cancer. After all, they voted for this.

Gosh, it sure would be nice if we could play this in the US! digbysblog.net/2025/09/15/t...

nope

Here's a Charlie Kirk quote for you: Charlie Kirk: “It’s worth to have a cost of, unfortunately, some gun deaths every single year so that we can have the Second Amendment”

It all comes down to whose ox is gored...

“Dems cannot pretend this is a normal Republican administration. They cannot ignore masked agents in the streets, armed troops in the cities, billions of dollars of money going into the Trump family’s pockets… If Dems cannot make an issue out of all that, then they are screwed and so are we.” 🎁🔗

The great Brian Bilston....

It's always nice to have them admit publicly what every (thinking) person already knew: www.axios.com/2025/09/04/e...

From the Bulwark: Trump’s second election was confirmation to the world that the American people can no longer be relied upon. We are too—well, you can fill in your own descriptor. Vapid? Decadent? Unserious? Inconstant? Whatever word you choose, the idea is the same:...

In a speech, the FL atty general likened vaccine mandates to "slavery"-a statement that has got to be one of the stupidest I've ever heard. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Fellow Californians!

#NIH is hanging by a thread. The #CDC has been decimated. #RFK Jr. and Russell #Vought are psychopaths--I don't say this frivolously--they are cold, calculating, inflicting violence on millions through public policy. It is where we are right now. These men are not normal. 1/

Brian Bilston wrote this awhile ago. But it remains quite on point, doesn't it?

Here, fixed it.

Amazing that millions of people still rely on news orgs like Fox and NewsMax to get their daily propaganda - errr, "news." www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Fox News hosts saying Gavin Newsom’s tweets are childish and unbecoming of the governor of the state of California shows that you can lead a horse to water but the joke will still go over their heads.

nice

Trump Always Chickens Out - TACO! www.reuters.com/world/china/...

weird how the guy born into obscene wealth, bailed out repeatedly, allowed to fail upwards forever until he fell ass-backwards into the presidency, and then was declared by the Supreme Court to be a Very Special Boy Who Can Crime Forever never stops whining about how everything is rigged against him

FTW. But it’s not just NBC.

Spot on: ‪Regina Schrambling‬ ‪@gastropoda.bsky.social‬ · 30m FTW. But it’s not just NBC. ‪Oliver Willis‬ ‪@owillis.bsky.social‬ · 1h Trump: Poop shit caca doo doo melon potato rigged NBC: President Trump addresses the nation, speaks about key issues

So now we'll see if SCOTUS is willing to write this out of the Constitution: "All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States..." www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

2010…

This is Chump talking about Jerome Powell (sort of): Trump: "He has these think tanks. They build buildings for people who think. It’s really not thinking. It’s a little bit of a combination of thinking. It’s something you sort have or don’t have… He ought to raise interest rates."

A Brian Bilston for Sunday morning...

Waiting with anticipation for the weeks and weeks of focused coverage of all of this by the NY Times! (LOL, JK...)

I might consider this name change....

I guess Chump is learning from the master.... digbysblog.net/2025/07/14/t...

The cartoonist and his family have received death threats over this cartoon, which they have willfully misconstrued as attacking flood victims.

The first time Charlie Chaplin used his voice in a film, he wielded it to forcefully condemn the rising forces of fascism around the globe. Will we listen to his words today?

A distraction from the news...

Many of the most accurate descriptions of American politics can be found in the comments on Balloon Juice. This one, from commenter Davis X. Machina (from about 15 years ago), is particularly apt today.

In this Indiana diner, everyone has three questions: How’s the breaded tenderloin? Is the quarry hiring? And Trump’s big Medicaid cuts are only for Black people, right?

“In Finland, the number of homeless people has fallen sharply. Those affected receive a small apartment & counselling with no preconditions. 4 out of 5 people affected make their way back into a stable life. And all this is CHEAPER than accepting homelessness.” It costs a lot less to house people.

Take note.
