“I have never killed any one, but I have read some obituary notices with great satisfaction.” — Clarence Darrow apnews.com/article/dick...

You know, it hit me today that the people caught up in QAnon, thinking that Democrats are child-murdering pedophiles, are probably the same people who fueled the Satanic Panic of the 1980s.

So, when’s Rumpty-Dumpty dynamiting Mt Rushmore to add his bloated face to it? It’d fit right in with his planned Arc de Trump monstrosity.

All those Christian lunatics were right — tRump IS the fulfillment of a prophecy. Just not from the Bible. From the words of H. L. Mencken: “As democracy is perfected, the office of the president represents, more and more closely, the inner soul of the people. We move toward a lofty ideal.”

tRump doesn’t know the meaning of the word “covert.” To him, it’s just a cool sounding word he may have heard in some spy thriller movie that gets him headlines. And that’s all he cares about. edition.cnn.com/2025/10/15/p...

You know, if the #GOP wants us to stop comparing them to NAZIS, they really should stop saying NAZI things. FYI, the “ANTIFA” Jack is complaining about and implying shouldn’t have existed? Those were the Germans who opposed Hitler.

Johnson refuses to call the House back into session as he’ll have to swear in the new AZ Congresswoman who represents the 218th vote to release the Epstein files.

How about this for a constitutional amendment: If the Congress fails to pass all of the necessary spending bills by 30 Sept, every Congressional representative and senator shall resign and new representatives and senators shall be elected within 30 days to serve the remainder of the term.

@republicanparty.bsky.social Matthew 25:31-46 was written for you. Your own Holy Book condemns what you have become.

“There's a reason you separate military and the police. One fights the enemies of the state, the other serves and protects the people. When the military becomes both, then the enemies of the state tend to become the people.” — Commander William Adama, Battlestar Galactica

tRump spent the last decade loudly claiming that various prominent Democrats were in the Epstein files and promising to release them. Now he can’t understand why his base is obsessed with the Epstein files when everyone knows HE is the most prominent person in them.

Dear Department of Homeland Security: I gave this request almost a full second's worth of consideration, and my answer is an unequivocal no. I would have answered sooner, but I was laughing.

How the #GOP have changed over the past century.

At least the Dutch still have free speech. youtu.be/j3Q7wD4woL8?...

NY Times 4 Feb 1939 “Goebbels Ends Careers of Five 'Aryan' Actors Who Made Witticisms About the Nazi Regime” Just in case it’s not perfectly clear whose playbook the fascist tRump regime follows.

Free speech, am I right? The fascist wing of America is so oblivious to their own hypocrisy. www.reuters.com/world/us/cha...

So, a white MAGA fascist shot MAGA fascist leader Charlie Kirk because Kirk wasn’t extreme enough. Hey #MAGA, still want to shoot the people responsible for Kirk’s death? Or maybe, just maybe, pause long enough to wonder why MAGA radicals are turning on your own leaders? Just a thought.

So far in 2025, it’s tRump doing his usual — bankrupting the company he’s in charge of, just like he’s done six times before. Except now it’s the entire blasted country and the American Fascist Party (formerly known as the #GOP) is enabling him.

The only thing tRump is good at when it comes to businesses is bankrupting them. And now he’s doing the same thing to the entire U.S. government.

In #Ohio, MAGA gerrymandered themselves into a supermajority in 2010. Ohio public schools ranked 5th in the nation. Fifteen years later, they still have a supermajority and Ohio ranks 35 in education.

Hope #MAGA enjoys the inflation this ridiculous decision will trigger as well as the pain this will cause U.S. small businesses. www.nbcnews.com/business/bus...

Whenever the American Fascist Party (formerly known as as the #GOP) tries to claim they’re “fiscally responsible,” make them explain this:

This is why I read and watch foreign news media like the BBC, CBC, The Guardian, etc. American media companies are, with few exceptions, fascist supporting jokes.

Former White House Chief of Staff to President Biden, Ronald Klain. This isn’t hyperbole. It’s why more and more people like Ron are standing up and stating the obvious. They know how close to the end of democracy…and freedom…we are.

And the new “pay at least $5,000 to get a visa” program won’t make it any better. The 2026 World Cup will be played in empty stadiums at this rate.

New study finds the average #MAGA is a malevolent psychopath deficient in empathy. It’s not that they can’t feel empathy—it’s that most don’t care or take delight in the suffering of others. For those saying we liberals need to empathize and understand MAGA—why? www.zmescience.com/science/news...

Hey, giving politicians control of science worked so well in USSR, right? www.nature.com/articles/d41...

Best description of the U.S. right now? First World wealth with Third World inequality and a banana republic government.

mRNA vaccines represent a medical breakthrough on the same level as Fleming’s discovery of antibiotics in 1928 and the Salk polio vaccine in 1955. What #RFKJr just did is the equivalent of ending antibiotic research in 1932 or pulling support for the Salk vaccine clinical trial in 1954.

Every single #GOP Senator that voted for #RFKJr should be ashamed of themselves. They let the Kennedy village idiot destroy the U.S.’s global leadership in biomedical research to say nothing of the lives we’ll lose because of Kennedy’s ignorant arrogance. #Impeach the fool now!

Remember when the MAGA morons were screaming about vaccine mandates and having a choice? Yeah, can’t have a choice if the vaccines never get developed. #RFKJrIsAnIdiot www.bbc.com/news/article...

One of these things is not like the others... Some things (like healthcare, utilities, education, insurance in general) should not be run by for-profit companies.

You know how most Americans don’t travel outside the U.S.? The proximate reason is they’re too poor to travel. The ultimate reason is the oligarchs don’t want Americans to see what functioning First World societies look like so they won’t realize just how dysfunctional the U.S. has become.

Funny thing about Trumpty-Dumpty’s claim that Erika McEntarfer cooked the jobs reports for Biden: The BLS Commissioner for most of Biden’s term and author of all those glowing jobs reports was William Beach, who was appointed by…Trump. www.politico.com/news/2025/08...

MAGA/QAnon are just now realizing they spread conspiracy theories about the wrong party for the last decade. They should have been focused on the Grand Old Pedophiles lead by Epstein’s best friend, not the Democrats.

Donald Trump is not a political genius or a genius of any kind. He ran for president out of pure narcissism and accidentally tapped into a thick, rich vein of American stupid.

What are children supposed to think when the president of the United States routinely says and does things that would get them sent to the principal's office or a juvenile detention center?
