whoa, wait a minute there, aaron, circuses are incredibly complex, well-run operations, so this is an insult to clowns

this is obviously fucked, but can't say the fbi (or federal law enforcement more generally) has made trusting them especially easy in recent months!

Elon Musk genuinely has to be regarded as one of history’s pre-eminent mass murderers

hot take: if law enforcement lies about what you did to them to justify their abusing and arresting you, you should be able to *actually* do those things to them as a consequence give these men shovels and let them have a go at them

just a casual family visit to pedophile island, y'know, normal shit that doesn't sound bad at all

counterpoint: the face mask wearing thugs who shot renee good in the face and alex pretti in the back did want them to die, because they had no cause to shoot them other than wanting to murder them

hmmmmm - who's the 3rd person in this conversation (which appears to include jeffrey epstein and woody allen) seemingly pushing them to help him secure a possible nomination as surgeon general under trump?

the american healthcare/insurance system is a fucking joke

Likely-historic photo by NBC News of all the Epstein victims asked to raise their hands if they've not yet been asked to meet with the DOJ as Bondi testifies in foreground

simply one of the greatest calls of all time

ffucckiinggg clown show ass government we've got

Invoking wealthy class solidarity to excuse sex crimes against children is sorta the Epstein Class in a nutshell

Raskin to Bondi: "You're not showing a lot interest in the victims. Whether it's Epstein's human trafficking ring or the homicidal government violence against citizens in Minneapolis, as AG you're siding with the perpetrators and ignoring the victims."

i'm a fan of the rhetorical one-two of "we're coming after you in this life and in the next"

Reminder that this is a *friendly* question from a GOP Senator — and Lutnick still fumbles it all! I will never get over how the Trump admin is almost universally the least curious people you could appoint to public life.

i first speculated lutnick could not possibly have forgotten coordinating a visit to epstein's island, which would make this a lie, but an alternative explanation: a visit to epstein's island was such a commonplace activity for lutnick he actually doesn't remember the details, which is maybe worse?

i should add one last alternative explanation here: discussing a visit to jeffrey epstein's island was such a mundane and commonplace activity for lutnick that he actually does not remember the details, which is maybe worse?

of course the guy who chose to first use the word "analingus" in a congressional letter is named "ogles"

unless lutnick has had major head trauma recently, it's impossible that he does not recall coordinating a visit to epstein's island with his family, so this would be a lie

lmaooo this is a rasmussen poll trump and republicans are so fucking cooked

Oh so it’s gonna be real bad

oh, man, at least tens of people are going to have to be refunded over this :(

that kid rock is the best they could do is such proof of how little influence over culture the right has

i hope bad bunny's surprise guests at the superbowl are epstein's victims and they just spend the whole halftime show naming all of their abusers the government redacted to protect their fucking friends

legit prefer flag football because i don't want a bunch of people to have brain damage for a sport, but that commercial went way too fucking hard for flag football lol

unless i missed it, has no one written about the fact that the current batch of epstein files revealed that doug band clearly had a serious extended sexual relationship with ghislaine maxwell?

things not looking great as it relates to trending news about powerful billionaires in the united states this doesn't even include bezos laying off a third of washington post's reporters/staff

yeah

This is a mask *very* specifically associated with Atomwaffen and Nazi Terrorgram (as OP notes downthread)

this is, i suppose, one way to address a woman, when given the opportunity to show empathy towards abused women "mr trump do you have anything to say to epstein surivors" "how about you shut the fuck up and smile more, you terrible woman"

Pass.

somewhat related to this madness, i think there's actually a nonzero chance they force maduro to admit to some venezuelan-run election hacking plot in exchange for his release to justify their longstanding conspiracy theory

okay, list of trump admin plans to fix the economy: 1) start working right after high school 2) postpone retirement 3) consumers pay tariffs 4) buy your kids fewer toys/pencils 5) limit meals to a piece of chicken, broccoli, corn tortilla, & "1 other thing" 6) 50-year (high-interest) mortgage

Three rules in FBI firearm training: 1. Always point your weapon downrange 2. Do not point your weapon at anything you do not intend to shoot 3. Don’t put your finger on the trigger unless you intend to shoot Guns are not for threatening compliance for unarmed people doing things you don’t like

Again, this is FALSE. Administrative warrants are NOT signed by an immigration judge (or any judge at all). They are generated and signed by ICE officers themselves with no external oversight whatsoever. Here is a blank sample warrant. Note who signs off on it; an "immigration officer."

The charges against Don Lemon are ridiculous. He’s a target because he’s black, because he’s media, and because he’s a Trump critic, and because Trump and his minions cannot accept any dissent. It’s deeply pathetic, unamerican, and lawless.

this is genuinely fucking nuts

Ah, imaginary whataboutism, the best whataboutism. You're asking me about a bad thing that really happened? Well, whatabout a different bad thing that didn't actually happen, something I've imagined? Whatabout that, huh? I'm a victim here. OK, now that these things are balanced out, let's move on.

I know it’s not like a surprise anymore that the president is an insane cretin who encourages political violence at almost every opportunity, protected by a cadre of corrupt judges who have cloaked his hateful conduct in impunity, but it’s a cold fact. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

Trump received 13% of the vote in 2024 in the Minnesota district (in St Paul) that held a legislative race tonight, losing it by 71%. Today, the GOP nominee got 4%, losing the race by 91%.

look at these fucking fake tough guy losers lol "what i want to know is why she didn't cower in the fetal position like i do when i get scared"

it is not mentioned enough how much the current assault on the somali community is the direct result of trump's obsession with ilhan omar his racist, fascist government is enacting collective punishment on somali-americans and minnesotans as an extension of his hatred for her

not only should every one of these fuckers lose their jobs, but they should be unemployable forever if ice appears anywhere on their resume

getting feds to say shit like this on camera with their face exposed is NUTS -- you can not reform this agency, everyone involved must go, there is no practical way to root out all of these guys

can't wait to see the executive order canceling this executive order that just says "you can't have guns...you just can't....you can't walk in with guns"

never in all of human history has a person more cynically used the word "love" or who less understood what it meant

One armed goon loses his shit at an observer who's backing up, and then several more armed goons tackle the observer to the ground, and then even more armed goons form a protective shield around the armed goons handcuffing the observer for hurting an armed goon's feelings. This can't be "reformed"

Uh, Anne Frank was not there legally after all the Jews had been rounded up, which was kind of why she was hiding in an attic

DHS is denying the accuracy of The Atlantic’s report.
