In a capitalist system where everything has a price tag, and everything revolves around the bottom line, including life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, democracy is just another commodity to be bought and sold, and ROI is the only thing that matters.

Day 29 Of Your Government Shutdown Chump,You Should RELEASE THE EPSTEIN FILES

At best, Johnson’s portrayal of a good person might pass muster in the Dog Patch community theatre production of the Perils of Pauline. Honestly, he comes across as exactly the smarmy prick he actually is. Too bad E. Goffman isn’t around to do a dramatalugical case study of the poisonous pixie.

Trumpty Dumpty would know art if it came up and bit him on his big, fat, tacky, tasteless ass. Have you seen the interior of his NY condo? It should be the illustration for the encyclopedia entry on piss elegance.

Over 71 million Americans are paid less than a living wage, and are forced into social safety nets like SNAP. If you think too many people are receiving SNAP benefits, don’t shame them. Shame their employers paying them poverty wages and forcing taxpayers to subsidize the rest.

What grown man who doesn’t have princess fantasies (not that there’s anything wrong with that … someday my prince will cu — come etc.) wants a big ballroom? Is he secretly a drag Queen? And if he is, does he know the meaning of irony? Metaphors? The tackiness of this would embarrass 1980s Barbie.

If you care about hungry families, here’s a Halloween tip. Try goody bags with ramen, dry milk packets, a fast food gift card, and one solid candy bar. Also, look for local clothing programs that sell items cheap and give them free if someone can’t pay. Practical help matters. #ProudBlue

Far left of what?

13yo kidnapped and held by the ICEstapo.

How is this a surprise to any sentient being at this point? Oh, and welcome to the world LGBTQIA+ and Black people have been living in for years. What did you think all that erasure and stfu rhetoric was about?

To the tune of Another One Bites The Dust (sorry Freddie): it doesn’t apply to us! hey! hey! It doesn’t apply to us.

Who owns the mass media? Why would the mass media want to report something in a way that would disrupt their owner’s agenda?

Fascinating science: How disgraced researcher Andrew Wakefield launched the modern anti-vax movement by fraudulently manipulating data to reach fabricated conclusions, hoping he would make a lot of money. Instead, he put millions of children at risk. youtu.be/EXtANMp3wok

So if I want to do something amoral and be exonerated, all I need to do is do it right out in the open? Huh, who knew? So when Cain killed Abel, if Cain had said “yeah I did it, whatever,” God would have said “good job, buddy!”

I think the vast majority of Americans are decent people. Being an ICE agent under this regime requires a level of indecency that most Americans won’t voluntarily stoop to, no matter what the financial incentives. This is why they’re desperate to use troops. MAGA doesn’t have the numbers.

The real question is: Why the hell do they keep giving him cognitive tests?

Release the Epstein files.

It’s organized serial killing. If these are drug traffickers, who are they dealing to? Fish? The boats they’re blowing up are small craft that couldn’t make it to the US without refueling multiple times. These are serial murders, carried out against brown people, in the name of political delusion.

TEN YEARS AGO WRITER: "How about a novel with a crazy president who can't stop talking about his new $300 million gold ballroom while millions of Americans go without food." AGENT: "That's a little heavy-handed. No politician would be that stupid. Come up with a more subtle, believable scenario."

My two takeaways on this: 1. CNN's CEO is utterly craven. No surprise there. 2. The White House is getting very nervous about how poorly the demolition of the East Wing is going over with most Americans. Good.

Which of the catchphrases from the “young” R’s group chat will become 28’s GOP campaign slogan? Picking just one is ihr Kampf! How about, “Gas them!”? Short, honest, and simultaneously ambiguous (tear gas? Zyklon B? Gaslighting?). With only 2 syllables, it’s easy to come up with chants in 4/4 time.

If Trump makes a statement, it’s a safe bet to believe the opposite is true.

So that tells you just about everything you need to know about Cuomo. A millionaire with pretty much the choice of anywhere in the US, picks one of the most authoritarian states as his future residence. I wonder if he and DeSatan are besties?

Screw insider trading, the ROI here is pretty amazing. Thats like drug cartel money 💰 money 💰 money 💰! Sadly, y’all pockets getting picked to finance this corrupt bullshit. The game is rigged, time to pull the plug 🔌

… if it was up to Mr. Miller, the population of the United States would be only 100 million people and they’d all resemble Mr. Miller” And how do you think they get to that number? dianeravitch.net/2025/07/10/s...

Thinking about the current corporate media landscape. “The orchestration of press, radio and television to create a continuous, lasting and total environment renders the influence of propaganda virtually unnoticed precisely because it creates a constant environment.” — Jacques Ellul

Think this through as Trump builds his golden ballroom. Also, for all the “we support the troops” people, shouldn’t military members be paid enough to live without SNAP benefits? Or do you think they should all just get real jobs?

GOP’s refusal to swear in Rep-elect Adelita Grijalva is a continuation of Jan. 6 and GOP’s rejection of democracy open.substack.com/pub/deanobei...

Hmmm

The quicker the better. www.dailykos.com/stories/2025...

If I were running the DNC, there would be Democratic Party sponsored food relief banks across the country right now that specifically welcomed anyone regardless of party affiliation. Along with the food, there could be voter registration and links to runforsomething.net

Krasnov is as Krasnov does.

If it were just Trump, project 2025 is far enough along to where they almost (almost) don’t need him. So there’s got to be a long list of very powerful global elites in those files. Hell, the money part of it alone would have to be seriously damaging. Those billions didn’t launder themselves.

Of course. But the regime includes republicans in congress. They have a say in this. They could change this. But you and I both know they won’t.

Remember when Trump called the White House a dump? He’s probably going to tear the whole thing down. time.com/4884923/whit...

Every country has a powerful right wing that argue “if you tax the wealthy, they’ll leave” We need to start calling their bluff. We need to make it so the ultra wealthy either contribute enough to be a positive part of society, or be globally shunned and unable to extract further funds from us.

When donors build what taxpayers can’t see...democracy has a transparency problem. The danger isn’t that it’s a bunker—it’s that you’re not allowed to ask.👇 www.jackhopkinsnow.com

Wait! They tore down the East Wing even though plans for the new ballroom haven’t been approved yet? Why the rush?

The party of “Law & Order” stands for neither. There’s not a law they haven’t broken. This is another copyright infringement by Kristi Noem.

Trump is a demented MF, and this surprises no one. Republicans know, but don’t care because they benefit from his crazy. MAGA gets what they want because Trump hurts people they hate and fear, and that makes MAGA feel powerful. Billionaires get actual power without restraint. And the country dies.

Not this republican scripted I’m very concerned (™️Susan Collins), bullshit … AGAIN!

His voters couldn’t care less about the economy. It’s the hate and fear. I’d be willing to bet that the eating cats and dogs bs had more of an impact on his voters than the price of eggs.
