The biggest story in the world right now is that the president of the United States is a demented old man who takes pleasure in torturing and killing people and is committing crimes with impunity. And yet most legacy media outlets are too cowardly to tell it like it is.

It's so grimly depressing how many people online call themselves tankies or commies or socialists or whatever else and are just complete utter liberals who agree with *some* of the ideology and are too lazy (petite bourgeois) to bother to understand any of the rest or apply any of it at all

may this define her for the rest of her life. she was willing to stoop this low and still got fired. girl, bye.

Cruz: "I'll tell you one of the big differences between Watergate & Arctic Frost -- when Nixon & his corrupt AG & corrupt administration abused their law enforcement powers to go after their political opponents, Republican senators stood up to the POTUS of their own party & defended the rule of law"

The legacy of Mueller is that if you do diligent methodical careful work on a damning report, trusting to our institutions to do the right thing, damned liars will just tell damned lies about your work and the lies will stand, because institutions won't confront power and nobody does the reading.

🤷🏼

Not a bad piece. But it does make the fundamental error apparent in so much coverage that it’s discussing a rational human who can be reasoned with & who knows his own mind, as opposed to a petulant toddler with clear mental frailties drunk on access to power he should never have been allowed near.

The is the federal government telling news stations to provide favorable coverage of the war or their licenses will be pulled. A truly extraordinary moment. We aren't on the verge of a totalitarian takeover. WE ARE IN THE MIDDLE OF IT. Act like it.

I don’t think this shit will work but i never want to hear about free speech from any trumpers or anti anti trumpers ever again, fuck off forever bsky.app/profile/cram...

Sports gambling should be legal but you should have to go to an actual building to do it and it should be so off-putting and sad you’ll never want to do it again

The president of the United States took Air Force One to Kentucky today to try and unseat a congressman who exposed a child rape ring involving the president and his friends. How the hell does that get such normal ho-hum coverage? Oh that’s just Trump. What a rascal.

Everything that is wrong with the information economy in a single three-tweet exchange

Part of Trump’s mass appeal (and of why he’s so dangerous) is that he really seems to share Joe Barstool’s worldview that there are no complex problems: Everything has a simple brute solution, which previous leaders were somehow too stupid or weak to deploy.

Of all the horribles, this one and his lies about it should, in a country with even a shred of sanity and dignity left, be the swift end of it all. Alas….

Wow -- as first spotted by @BadFoxGraphics on X, Fox & Friends this morning used *old footage of a previous dignified transfer* to mislead their audience about the fact that Trump wore a baseball cap during the one yesterday

Fuck this disgusting piece of shit

That is insane: "Biden’s pardons eliminated roughly $680,000 in financial penalties owed to victims or the government. In contrast, Trump’s second-term pardons have forgiven criminal debts of more than $1.5 billion." www.cato.org/blog/embarra...

The killing of Iranian children during an illegal war is an impeachable offense (not to mention a grave crime) and Congress should really act like it. 15 Republicans in the Senate could end this nightmare before it somehow gets even worse.

As George Orwell once said, ‘Kristi Noem makey uppy stuff’

What can you even say? These people deserve their inevitable humiliation and the nation deserves journalists with more self-respect.

is everyone on glue

Iran did not pose an immediate threat to the United States. Trump has admitted this is a regime change war. He did this without congressional authorization. This is an unconstitutional action. Worse, he clearly has no plan for what comes next. It’s a Mad King war.

So basically Trump can post that he’s sending a hospital ship to Greenland for no reason, then do absolutely nothing to actually send a hospital ship to Greenland because it was all a lie, and not one single Republican gets asked about it. That’s where we’re at.

"ICE agents are the equivalent of cartel hitmen" is a wild take, but Mike Lee is here for it.

we are long past the point where democrats should be doing cutesy dialogue with trump or other republicans. it doesnt fucking work. be blunt. be clear. most people dont follow politics and theyre not going to take the time to decode your cute little coy barb. just fucking say stuff.

Imagine doing this with your one precious life. Other people are out there teaching children and curing cancer and you decide to spend your time telling outrageous, laughably unbelievable lies about a dementia-addled rapist and fraud whose legacy will be nearly ending US democracy

Wow.

This sounds exactly like lawmakers saying they’re not banning abortion, they’re just requiring a 48-hour waiting period and two trips to the clinic

The American Gestapo Bundy Brigade. A shitstain on our country’s underwear.

Absolute Ghouls. Everyone involved in this meal deserves a life full of shame and scorn.

The default assumption should be that they’re lying

WTF is going on why did the Curling Gold Medal match go off after one end and we're watching studio interviews and Snoop skiing?

When you get visited by three Puerto Rican ghosts

I love the combination of this statement with this headwear.

How many staffers have the ability to make official statements of the President?

Fuck everyone up and down the chain of command who is in on this. Shame is long overdue to make a comeback.

The president constantly lying about stolen elections, after staging a coup attempt, & now threatening to federalize & steal future elections, should be the primary news story in the country 24/7 & on every front page until he is impeached & removed next week.

This is unreal. An AUSA talking like that in open court is about as close as you can come to a total breakdown. Never heard of anything like it.

Recall that Melissa Hortman and her husband were murdered not long ago by a fake cop who showed up at their door looking like this guy

Make Fucking Sense Again

Imagine hearing your boss say he hired you because he saw your wife riding a horse. lol. Having a fuckable wife is now Cabinet clearance.

We did not properly punish the confederates. We did not properly punish the insurrectionists on January 6th. We have to punish ICE. They can’t be allowed to slink back into their communities quietly. Expose them. Arrest them. Convict them. Imprison them.

"They're not doing mass killings yet so you can't possibly compare children hiding from armed masked gunmen who want to kidnap them to Anne Frank" manifests a real failure of imagination.

"Who's city is it Chief? Bovino: "It's our fucking city." And that, in a nutshell, is the problem. It is not a democracy when men with guns and uniforms believe they have more control over a city than its residents.

the reason DHS officers wear masks is because it allows them to commit crimes with impunity. there is literally no legitimate reason for it.

Jesus. Fucking. Christ.

As in, that’s where he will have them shoot you.

RAND PAUL: If a country bombed our air defense missiles, captured & removed our president, & blockaded our country, would that be considered an act of war? RUBIO: We just don't believe this operation comes anywhere close to the constitutional definition PAUL: Of course it would be an act of war!

It's not enough to admit reality, which Paul is willing to do. There must be accountability - for both the shooting(s) and the response(s).
