From the unparalleled wit and “pen” of David Simon: “Thank you for your attention to this moron.” bsky.app/profile/auda...

What we need is a boatload of ostracisms.

A lot of places are about to be bombed in a country far away and a good many people killed because Donald Trump cannot make anyone forget or ignore the accusations of what he did with young girls. That is now the foreign policy of the United States.

Yes. Damn.

Best #Bondi-Own of the Day stevebrodner.substack.com

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

"Trump refuses to apologize" is the inevitable headline that follows every misdeed. Apologizing requires a measure of integrity, self-awareness and, yes, confidence. Deep down, this man knows he's a shitpiece. He's terrified that if he's seen admitting an error, he's exposed...

Let no one say that as a nation, in spite of all the current ugliness, we have lost our sense of humor.

Bingo.

Huh? www.nytimes.com/2026/01/30/w...

@natogreen.bsky.social, have you read “Deer Hunting With Jesus?” Your abu ghraib reference reminded me of that excellent book. I think you’ll appreciate it. And, in other parts of it, laugh out loud. Here’s a blogpost by the author. For a sample. www.counterpunch.org/2004/03/27/h...

Do not get complacent. Susan Glasser in the New Yorker today: “Trump, in damage-control mode, will do or say anything to get through a crisis—and his words at such a moment have about as much long-term value as a diploma from Trump University.”

First impression: oh, bullshit.

if bovino is out and conservatives are turning on noem then there is a real opportunity to demand that miller resign too.

That tattoos were not wrong. This shitpiece is a Nazi.

What I saw was the American Century ending in a pathetic mix of babble and pout. We are being led into a world of global contempt by morons, cranks and grifters.

Speaks for all of us. www.ft.com/content/726f...

Don’t be an ICEhole.

quick someone award Jeffrey Epstein a Greatest Pedophile Ever medal and Trump will get so jealous he'll release the Epstein Files just to prove he deserves it more

This pic should haunt Trump and his whole gang of thugs for the rest of their lives.

@thebugle.bsky.social I’m paused at 6:36 into the freshest bugle. I’m also of a mind now, to come in off the ledge. The owner of the Maybach down at the curb owes you. I was going to aim for it. Thank you for the good news.

Kristi Noem beshits herself on National Television.

None at all.

Abolish the crazy thugs at ICE.

The government must never hate the people.

The things we now have to explain.

Hey DOJ, your level of "competence" is showing...

This guy looks like a cross between Snidely Whiplash and Katherine Helmand (in Brazil).

Indeed. It must be terrifying to be abducted and not know what your future holds. Enveloped in your raid gear and masked for anonymity, you fascist shitheels can't even see yourselves as the hollow, soulless thugs you are. But we can.

You can take the boy out of Southside Chicago, but you can't take ...

Elon Musk’s new pay package would feed all forty million Americans on SNAP for the next ten years. He wouldn’t notice the difference but the country would.

Some moments call for statesmanship. And sometimes you just need a guy from Chicago, Illinois.

Cuomo Says He Will Devote Rest of Life to Sexually Harassing People in the Private Sector

JESUS.

The great thing about the Trump endorsement is that even before his terms as president and all the misery attached for blue-state America, there was no more disliked celebrity in New York. Donald Trump was known to New Yorkers as a constant chisler and self-aggrandizing vulgarian. Mazel tov, Andy.

Ladies and gentlemen, the President of the United States has no penis. But at all times and in all matters, you must understand, he is still very special, very powerful and very important. And if he one day does acquire a penis, it will be the best and biggest one.

@harryshearer.bsky.social, this rings bells. And worries. Thought of you right away: apps.bostonglobe.com/2025/10/metr...

Carlin’s last commandment (4th?); Thou Shalt Keep Thy Religion To Thyself.”

Whereby the actual dickheads make themselves plain.

“Have you given any more thought to suspending habeas corpus?” TRUMP: “Suspending who?” 🤷🏼 Aaand scene.

So Trump negotiates the mass release of 5,000 Taliban fighters and agrees to end U.S. presence in Afghanistan in 14 months. Taliban then takes over Afganistan and the Bagram air base. Trump asks for the air base back. Taliban says nah. A petulant Trump threatens Afganistan. The Art of the Deal.

President Johnson, in a November 9, 1968 letter to the Smothers Brothers: “It is part of the price of leadership of this great and free nation to be the target of clever satirists . . . May we never grow so somber or self-important that we fail to appreciate the humor in our lives.”

Flailing is not a productive methodology. Back to it (not by design).

@edgeofsports.bsky.social Dave, I just read, with delightdread, your piece at The Nation (The Dangers and Absurdities of Trump’s DC Occupation). Saw some pots and pans here in Coastal MA today, and that was good too. Thank You. Thank You.
