The Trump admin has fused the war on terror with the war on drugs to create a framework for justifying its own acts everywhere from Chicago to Caracas. Remember the helicopter raid on a Chicago apartment building? A key rationale was to go after the Venezuelan TdA.* Same with Caracas raid.

This is impeachable. This is a war crime. If the United States doesn't try and convict and imprison him for this, another Nation should.

I honestly don't understand how this isn't considered just straight up sexual assault of children.

This mug is so spectacular witless that it hurts. I used to teach bright HS students things like History and my lands this is the idiot shit the assholiest among them would insist on inflicting on us.

If you read any detailed history of World War II, it will quickly dispel the notion that Hitler was a genius. His main advantage was being insanely aggressive at a time when every other country was cautious. It worked ... until it didn't. And tens of millions of people died because of it.

Many don't realize that the most vulnerable or immune compromised depend on the rest getting vaccinated properly to keep diseases from spreading out of control. It's not just “my body, my choice” when it comes to saving lives.

Amid whitewashing of history of Capitol siege, new transcript of House interview w/ Jack Smith highlights police injuries: "Cracked ribs, traumatic brain injuries, smashed spinal disks & heart attacks as rioters used bats, flagpoles, chemical sprays, stolen police shields & batons"

Something positive to ring in the new year

Trump follows Putin's directives in both words and deeds. "Useful idiot" barely scratches the surface. Republicans and MAGA rally behind a traitor, prioritizing Russia over America. #TraitorTrump #UsefulIdiot #PutinFirst

I wanted to say, Unbelievable, but this is completely believable and abhorrent.

Do you have a passion for the #environment? Do you hate throwing away things that *should* be recyclable but aren't yet? Have you heard of @ridwell.bsky.social? We've been using this service for a few months now and it's incredible! #Recycling

The diseased mental gymnastics and absurd lying you have to do 24/7 to be a Republican is really monstrous.

I’ve had a lot of people reach out over the last few weeks and ask if Gabby and I are ok. I’m good, and Gabby’s even better. She’s the toughest person I know.

I really, really hope everyone posting about having a cold or the flu feels better soon, but I really, really, REALLY hope you're all testing for Covid. Even if it wouldn't change how you treat yourself, it could make a difference in how dangerous you are to others. Please test & isolate if needed!

Yikes, I agree with Joe Walsh.

Respect.

Sinatra hated racists and would have punched Miller in the mouth. Or as Phil Hartman's impression of Sinatra put it, "I got chunks of guys like you in my stool."

we’ve been over this we just did this in Massachusetts they’re not gonna leave, they’ll whine and bitch and moan and eventually this will raise more money than expected because nowhere they go is actually like the place they’re leaving

Smart stuff

Has anyone out there lived through state 3 pancreatic cancer?

We have to find out why they're all so paralyzed with fear. I like to think he's made significant violent threats to their family members, not that they're just spineless amoral cowards. But ya, it's the second one.

“Miss, do you agree with the sign?” “Absolutely not. My great niece was 4 months pregnant and her fetus had no skull. And because of men involving themselves in women’s bodies she was forced to deliver the fetus… there’s a reason God created medicine.”🔥 #ForcedBirthNation

Freight trains. Box cars. Stuff them full. And then a quick selection when they arrive at the detention facility to identify those capable of good, hard work. For additional profit, also check for gold in their teeth and smuggled currency.

merry christmas, my gf got us a print sub to @theonion.com and gave it to me like this

Merry Christmas to all, except demented child rapists that are doing everything possible to destroy our Country…

This was exactly Adolf Eichmann's job.

We forgot to tell our nephew not to put food presents under the tree, and our dog Daisy now has a case of jingle bowels

why do you guys just go "America too big" and proceed to shut your brain off about these issues? this same garbage argument is used for why we can't build high speed public rail in the US. we watched China do it within our fucking lifetime! is China not a large and populous country like the US???

Anyone still think Hillary was wrong calling them deplorable?

Kelly: For any leader to basically say, “Shut up. You’re not allowed to ask questions,” I don’t know who Hegseth worked for when he served as a junior officer in the National Guard, but it appears to me they were not very good role models of leadership—because this guy has no idea what he’s doing.

Would you let Stephen Miller or Pete Hegseth stay overnight in your home?

Good for Barry Weiss and Larry Ellison to give more people a reason to cancel their Paramount. They did this bullshit just to get a merger done fuck them. Everybody needs to cancel Paramount. Disney understands what can happen. Do it to them too. They are going to get rid of Stephen Colbert. 2026

Seems like a good day to remind everyone that Trump has sued over jokes, tweets, interviews, and news articles but not once over any of the countless accusations of child rape. — That silence says everything.

It’s great that 60 Minutes correspondent Sharyn Alfonsi is coming right out swinging. Not having a second of this bullshit! I think coddled hacks like Bari Weiss have no idea what to do with righteous fury like this except, if anything, somehow play victim. Let’s see!

He's much more interesting than you might think. Take in his documentaries on WWII and fascism.

I think it's actually quite beautiful we live at the same time as a writer and orator whose style is so distinctive, and has pushed the boundaries of the English language so far, that you hear the phrase "her undergarments, sometimes referred to as panties" and immediately know that's the President

This by Eugene Victor Walter in Dissent, 1956, truer yet today:

Nobody works this hard for this long to cover up something this bad unless they are guilty.

MAGA doesn’t care about pedophiles. Never did. Nothing demonstrates that more clearly than how quickly they are willing to suck on the pacifier of Clinton pics while ignoring the fact that Republican pedos are being protected by Trump, Bondi, Blanche & Patel.
