Hey, NATO, nice little organization you've got there. It'd be a shame if anything happened to it...

WaPo headline: "Pentagon readies 1,500 soldiers to possibly deploy to Minnesota, officials say" Step 1. Create conflict and chaos. Step 2. Point to the conflict and chaos as an emergency. Step 3: Declare the emergency as a reason to launch the Insurrection Act. Step 4: Repeat in every Blue State.

The Gaslight River continues to overflow its bank.

Trump has as great an understanding of the Insurrection Act as does about how tariffs work. Let that sink in.

Hundreds of economists warned that Trump’s policies would (not might) lead to a recession. Gee, it’s almost like electing a 6-time bankrupt businessman with no experience in government was a bad idea.

Trump isn't going to use the Insurrection Act to suppress the midterm vote. He's going to use it to CANCEL the midterm elections entirely.

Ok, republicans...when has this EVER even been a question needed to ask a president? Please tell us how you justify it.

If people in this administration will (rightfully) be charged criminally, they'll claim that Trump's complete immunity extends to them because they were working for him. You know, the old "I was just following orders" defense. And this SC will probably uphold it, 6-3.

And here we go again, the old "he was only joking" dodge. The problem with that, of course, is that Trump doesn't have a sense of humor. Always take him literally and seriously.

As always, take Trump literally AND seriously.

Among the plethora of things Trump doesn't understand, "insurrection" is right there at the top.

WaPo headline: "Native Americans are being swept up by ICE in Minneapolis, tribes say" Yeah! Send 'em back where they came...oh, wait.

@gottalaff.bsky.social I figured out why Trump is so fixated on Venezuela...South America is where all the Nazis fled to at the end of WWII, so it would be like a second home for him.

Connect the dots: 1. Nature is, and always has been, infinitely smarter than us and knows what it's doing. 2. We are the ONLY animals who drinks milk after we've been weened. Is Whole Milk Healthier for Kids? www.nytimes.com/2026/01/14/w...

This sounds just like something a pedophile would say.

And this is why these ICE thugs hide behind a mask and won't display any kind of identification. You can't hold them accountable if you don't know who they are.

Pretty sure RFKjr told Trump that a 3 year extension of the ACA causes autism.

Maybe because a person intelligent enough to be professor at Yale isn't stupid enough to be a republican today.

@gottalaff.bsky.social This vile display of republicans and RW media justifying and gaslighting on a murder by ICE they all very clearly saw in video is a preview of what they're going to do once (if) the Epstein files are released showing Trump being a big part of the raping of children.

Wow. Look at all these "domestic terrorists" blatantly practicing their 1st amendment rights.

Nothing frightening about this NYT headline. No-sir-ee. "Trump Lays Out a Vision of Power Restrained Only by ‘My Own Morality’"

Translation: Trump and the republican congress will declare the midterms will be cancelled, citing a "national security emergency" over Venezuela, Cuba and Greenland as justification.

As always, @jensorensen.bsky.social nails it. www.gocomics.com/jen-sorensen...

Apparently, MTG is having difficulty connecting all the dots... www.mediaite.com/media/news/m...

Meanwhile, as Trump sets out to "fix" Venezuela... www.gocomics.com/nonsequitur/...

Perhaps it's clear to everyone now that Congress ceased to exist on Jan. 20, 2025.

Haven't watched any news programs today. Has Trump declared Venezuela as the 51st state yet?

"Trump invoked the 1823 Monroe Doctrine to justify the Venezuelan strikes and renamed it the Don-Roe Doctrine." Name changes coming: The Bill of Donald's Always Rights Donald J Trump and Christ mas. Thirteenth/Fourteenth/Fifteenth and Trumpteenth Amendments The Trumplaration of Independence

Stay classy, Trumpers

@gottalaff.bsky.social I just saw a recruiting ad on tv for the Secret Service. WTF? So just anybody can sign up to be a Secret Service agent just like ICE?

As always, facts don't matter to the MAGA media. What's important is their Nazi narrative.

Your tax dollars at work...for "influencers"... Via WaPo: "ICE plans to spend $100 million on influencer-driven ‘wartime’ recruitment campaign"

Weird how during her entire time in office, MTG never feared for her life or that of her kids at the hands of the "violent left", but now lives in constant fear from MAGA thugs just because she didn't obey Trump.

A little morning "lift" via #NonSequitur... www.gocomics.com/nonsequitur/...

Did this edition of #NonSequitur along that line 20 years ago...

And everyone just sits there with a forced smile, pacifying him with their silence.

Another #NonSequitur history lesson... www.gocomics.com/nonsequitur/...

No matter what the setting, the asshole can't change his spot.

This brings a whole new meaning to "Holy Shit!".

Hey, America...as we enter a new year, instead of trying to push Gays and trans people back into the closet they worked so long and hard to get out of, how about pushing Nazis and Christian Nationalists back INTO the closet Trump unlocked? Maybe think about that when we hit the midterms.

Weird how this guy who says it's only Democrats who are in the Epstein files and guilty of sex crimes and NOT him, is trying SO hard to end all the investigations and keep the files out of public view. Golly, I wonder why that is.

This shouldn't need to be pointed out to a judge (or anyone else), but apparently it does...Marriage is a matter of contract law. It has nothing to do with race, religion or gender. It's simply an agreement between two adults. Why is this so difficult for so many to grasp? MYOB.

Bari Weiss Journalism 101: Reporter: "We have video of Trump shooting someone on 5th Avenue with 150 eyewitnesses." Weiss: "Did you get a response from the WH?" R: "They won't talk to us" W: "Kill it. Anything else?" R: "An internet rumor about Biden being an alien plant" W: "RUN IT NOW!!!"

Trump Christmas message touts economy, bashes ‘radical left scum’ beyondlink.live/trump-christ...

The part Clement Moore's editor cut out.

Sure would've been nice if ANYONE in news media reported this back in 2016. The Access Hollywood tape greatly pales in comparison.

@gottalaff.bsky.social I did this edition of #NonSequitur before the primaries in 2016 which was directed more toward the media, especially cable news (particularly CNN) as a way to avoid the horrific shit-storm approaching. Of course, they did the opposite. And here we are.

That's nice to see, but I wonder if MTG could do something more than just "pray for these women". She's still a member of Congress and, like it or not, has a strong following and influence within the GOP and MAGA.

WaPo headline: "ICE documents reveal plan to hold 80,000 immigrants in warehouses" Hey, nothing Nazish about concentration camps, right? Merry Fucking Christmas, America!
