Sometimes the metaphors just write themselves

Shocking news is shocking! Who could have imagined this happening???? (side note - look at the pics of these dudes. if this is what white supremacy looks like, YIKES)

I'm old enough that I've lived through plenty of financial crises. This has disaster written all over it www.nytimes.com/2025/10/13/m...

You can bet that when the MAGAts have their version of the Reichstag Fire - and it's coming - the right wing media ecosystem will be there to put out the propaganda. www.thebulwark.com/p/ice-propag...

Interesting reading the arguments the DOJ made in court to justify sending in the National Guard. Why did they use such ridiculously weak justifications? Because lawyers don’t want to commit perjury in court; it’s a felony and they’ll get disbarred. /1

Stephen Miller’s dream

Every Republican who stands by while Trump dangerously escalates this conflict with Democrat-led cities and states is complicit in his crimes.

There is no event I’m looking forward to more than watching Stephen Miller have his human slug ass hauled into jail for his crimes against humanity. That will truly be a great day.

Stolen from a @jefftiedrich.bsky.social column. History rhymes!

Trying to imagine a world where 57-year-old Hillary Clinton drew a penis that looked like it maybe belonged to a barely-pubescent male in the birthday book of a prolific child molester and wrote a note referencing "a wonderful secret" on it

Lolz

So Mango Mussolini is going to declare war on an American city?

We’re now at this stage where they say, hey remember that deferred resignation we forced you to take? Well, turns out we’re having a hard time running things with so few people so …. federalnewsnetwork.com/workforce/20...

Would be great if this could happen, but it just isn’t feasible. Not in my lifetime anyway. www.nytimes.com/2025/08/21/o...

Lemme guess: they’ll release anything that implicates Democrats? Because Republicans would be considered “sensitive matters”?

I’d love for someone to give me a reason to think the DC military takeover is not just the next step in the coup. Please. I don’t want to believe this is where we’re going.

One more in a never ending series of distractions. Where’s the fcking Epstein list?

This sums up where we are pretty well. Plus the picture is EXCELLENT charliesykes.substack.com/p/donald-tru...?

once again, it is a core belief of people on the american right that it should be illegal for you not to like them or want to be around them or work with them

“The only thing we have to fear is fear itself.” — FDR “Ask not what your country can do for you—ask what you can do for your country.” — JFK “Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall!” — Ronald Reagan “The windmills are driving the whales loco.” — Donald J “for Genius” Trump

Nothing to see here folks, just the woman who made the Trump University case go away, sending the guy who tried to make the hush money case go away, to talk to the only person alive who can make the Epstein files go away. Obviously this is fine.

Reminder: there is no Epstein list. Trump wasn’t friends with Epstein. All those photos and videos of them together are all fake. Ghislane Maxwell isn’t in prison for procuring underage girls for Epstein and his pals. Which Trump wasn’t. Thank you for your lack of attention to this matter!

Persecution based on who you’re friends with. Fcking Nazis www.lawfaremedia.org/article/good...

Medicare for All - "That's socialism!" Social Security - "That's socialism!" Debt free education - "That's socialism!" Universal childcare - "That's socialism!" $1 trillion+ in tax cuts for the wealthy... "That's just how it is."

One of those times I’m happy I’m old. www.theatlantic.com/technology/a...

oh it's so shocking that the drastic cuts won't happen until after the midterms who could have ever predicted that www.nytimes.com/2025/07/02/u...

This pretty much sums it up. They could have said “Lower courts should not issue nationwide injunctions” while also saying “but this executive order saying a constitutional amendment is unconstitutional” is total bullshit. But they didn’t.

lolz @petridishes.bsky.social is the BEST www.theatlantic.com/newsletters/...

This article neglects to mention that the reason Republicans are so enthusiastic about unlimited executive power is that they have ZERO intention of ever allowing a Democrat to be President again. www.axios.com/2025/06/28/t...

I kinda hate to say this, because when it does happen it will be a terrible thing for the world, but……when Iran announces they’ve successfully tested a nuclear bomb, I’m gonna laugh my ass off.

If he was smart he’d keep his fat yap shut, and his stubby little fingers from spewing bullshit. But he won’t. Because he’s a small little man who wants to look tough and smart - two things he’ll never be. www.thebulwark.com/p/trump-botc...

Trump wants nothing more than to be seen as a tough guy. The idea that he was going to keep us out of conflicts was delusional. The guy fucking LIVES for fighting and conflict.

First saw Bruce in 1978, and I’ve seen him probably 15 or so times since. He remains an inspiration. www.nytimes.com/2025/06/18/a...

Those botox injections, hair extensions, and boob jobs don't come cheap!

Ok I won’t!
