After being denied service at so many food establishments, a guy carrying a few boxes of pizza probably looked really good to the ICE guys. And who doesn't like free pizza.

You can buy a decent torch and Pitch Fork for under a $100. In case anyone was wondering.

Watching Trump talking to the press before he gets on Marine One. Say what you will, Trump is nailing the Drunk Uncle impersonation.

Trump should be a lot thinner than he is today. I base this assessment on the fact that every time I see him talking, he's lying his ass off.

If Minnesota really wants ICE to leave, maybe they should slip Tom Homan $50K in a chip bag.

Woke to freezing cold and snow and the news playing Trump's idiotic ramblings at the World Economic Forum. Calling Trump an embarrassment is an understatement. Fuck Trump and all who support him.

Between mishandling the Covid pandemic, reducing access to safe abortions, putting RFK jr in charge of our health care, encouraging his minions to do violence, blowing up boats in the Caribbean, and inflicting ICE on everyone, I have to ask... What's the Trump Death Count up to now?

So NATO is deploying troops to Greenland to defend it against an invasion by the United States. Thank goodness Trump pressured NATO counties to increase their defense spending. www.bbc.com/news/live/cm...

The Justice Department, in true 1984 style, will now be called, The Justice Department.

I wish I could figure out a way to invest in torches and pitchforks. I feel the market for them can only go up.

Is it illegal for people to string concertina or barbed wire around their homes? Would they need permission from their HOA? Asking for people living in blue states.

Green Shirts are the new Brown Shirts

Congress is our last hope to stop the Trump regime crazy train. Unless they get off there collective asses, honor their oath and do their duty, we are all good and royally screwed.

Regarding the release of the Epstein files, Trump continues to use his delay, delay, delay technique to avoid responsibility for his actions. Can you blame him? It's worked so well for him in the past. Congress and the courts need to fast track their efforts if we ever expect to see the files.

This past Friday, I attended an anti-Trump protest. Being a weekday, the group of about 100 protesters was made up almost entirely of retirees. As all of us grey hared folks were doing our thing, this guy drives by screaming "get a job." What an idiot.

I hope the Center for Biological Diversity wins it's lawsuit to keep Trump's face off of National Parks & Federal Lands annual passes. How cruel would it be for our park rangers to have to see that ugly mug hundreds, maybe thousands of times a day. www.forbes.com/sites/emesem...

Trump was never "Best."

Dear Ukraine, I'm so very sorry that we have a spinless Russian puppet for a president.

Attended the Anti-Trump protest in Edwardsville Illinois this past Friday. It was a bit damp but the crowd was very upbeat. Then there was this jackass, who yelled "fagots" as he rode past the protest. He probably has some issues. Maybe someone will recognize him and give him the help he needs.

ICE reminds me of the Martians in "Mars Attacks." They come into town claiming they "come in piece" all the while shooting at people and destroying the town.

Watched an article on AI and all I could think about was the Twilgiht Zone episode titled "The Brain Center at Whipple's." If you are unfamiliar with this episode you should give it a watch. It's very relevant. Bonus: Features Robi the Robot www.scifidimensions.com/what-is-the-...

Should we be concerned that Hegseth's love of blowing up small, fast moving boats could "impact" Florida tourist destinations?

How many people can one plumb oligarch can feed? Asking for those fired by DOGE, kicked off SNAP, working but not being paid, working but not earning enough, and those of us (most all of us) paying higher taxes to pay for tax breaks for millionaires.

Came across this article in the IJR about WaPo's editorial board praising Trump's new Ball Room. It's a nice brown-nosing article that gets most of the history wrong and praises Trump for his unpraiseworthy behavior. ijr.com/wapo-editori...

During Trump's 1st term, my coworkers told me that my anger and concerns about Trump were unwarranted. To them I say I TOLD YOU SO!

Trump didn't win the Nobel Prize. Go figure.

So tired of people comparing Trump to Hitler. I mean, Hitler actually served in a war time army.

Pretty sure the Black Hawk helicopters violated FAA regulations by hovering low over private property, in a city, at night, to conduct an unnecessary insertion operation. Even an air ambulance or police helicopter would not have flown in an urban area as they did.

For some reason, current events reminded me of National Lampoon's classic "If you don't buy this magazine, we'll kill this dog" issue. So I updated the cover.

Pete "Glug Glug" Hegseth's gathering of generals and admirals feels a lot like Sadam Hussein's 1979 Ba'ath Party Purge. Where Hussein removed members from the chamber and later killed 21 of them. But in this case, Hegseth will just fire those he feels aren't loyal to Dear Leader Drumpf.

Today's horrible shooting at an ICE facility in Dallas is unforgivable. Officials repeatedly said political violence needs to stop. I agree. What they don't understand is that violence against ICE will only stop when ICE stops using violence against people. Because all violence is unacceptable.

Watching Drumpf address the United Nations. What an embarrassment. On behalf of the left side of America's brain, I apologize to everyone who had to sit through the ramblings of this stupid, stupid, stupid man.

Just cancelled my HuluPlus account. Felt good.

HOW SOME DICTATORS LEFT OFFICE Louis XVI - Guillotined by Revolutionaries Mussolini - Hanged by Angry Mob Hitler - Suicide Ceaușescu - Executed by his own soldiers Qaddafi - Shot by Rebels Yanukovych - Fled Ukraine - Still hiding in Russia Duterte - On trial at the Hague Trump - TBD

Watching Drumpf's rambling lies at the press conference in London. And once again I'm extremely embarrassed that he is our president.

Today I learned that ABC suspended Jimmy Kimmel for saying something they found offensive. Kimmel is a comedian. Occasionally offending people is part of the job description. Also, today is Constitution day. Let that sink in.

I re-watched Running Man last night (1987 original). The dystopian future felt a lot like what we're looking at now. - Government creating fake evidence. - People Arrested on fake charges. - People competing on TV for their freedom (a Trump idea). Hope we get the same ending.

Trump claims he is sending National Guard troops to American cities to keep Americans safe. Of course, this is not true. But for those who think Trump is right and are willing to live in a military state to "feel" safe. Just remember what my gruncle Ben said...

Trump has made cameo appearances in several movies over the years. Few people realize one of those appearances was an unaccredited part in "Young Frankenstein."

I see the Trump Coup is moving right along with federalized guard troops descending on D.C. Feels like we are paying for the rope that they will hang us with.

The Fed murder charged Vance Bolter with murder. I'm concerned Bolter could receive a presidential pardon if convicted in federal court. And please don't tell me that could never happen. Is there some way for Minnesota take over the case in order to prevent Bolter receiving a presidential pardon?

Looks like it's time to update the Wikipedia page on Auto-coups (AKA Self Coups). en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Self-coup

Happy Zombie Jesus Day!

If birth right citizenship is removed by SCOTUS, then only naturalized citizens, or those who descended from naturalized citizens, can be citizens. If none of my ancestors were naturalized, I would no longer be a citizen. Even though my ancestors arrived here in the 1600s. How stupid is that.

I think Trump has a variant of Munchausen syndrome by proxy. Here me out. MSBP is a mental illness where a caregiver (Trump) makes up or exaggerates an illness in a person in their care (the U.S.) to gain attention from others. This can lead to serious harm for the victim (that's us).

Social Security is known as the third-rail of politics. Are Republicans unaware of this saying? Do they not understand what happens when you touch the third rail?

Watching Trump give his "Day of Liberation" speech. Mostly lies and misinformation as well as history lessons from an alternate reality. What an idiot.

Here are some things Susan Collins said during Trump's impeachment. “I believe the president has learned from this case” “The president has been impeached. That’s a pretty big lesson.” “I believe that he will be much more cautious in the future.” You nailed it, Susan!

Apologies for my poor photoshop skills. But you get the idea.

Here's a thought. Every Trump press conference & speech should be given the Mystery Science Theater 3000 treatment. The MST3K crew would provide running commentary while pointing out Trump's lies & crack jokes at his expense. Wonder if Crow, Tom Servo, & one of the humans are available.
