The face Jim Jordan always makes when he's spinning his bullshit. What a coward. "It's consistent with keeping drugs off the streets,” Jordan said... “Fentanyl doesn't come from Venezuela,” Bash said bluntly."

"(Trump) is a compulsive liar, a cheat, a thief, a con, a racist, a xenophobe, a misogynist, an egomaniac, a traitor, a narcissist, a moron, and an abuser of the populace over which he presides as the most powerful figure in the country’s history-" www.rawstory.com/raw-investig...

MAGAs keep posting trumps invasion and take over of Venezuela is not illegal. One guy called me a libtard & said look up the War Powers Act. Ok…. The War Powers Resolution confirms it’s illegal. This invasion is illegal no matter how maga wants to spin it. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

NGL, It's so hard to watch Dems in Congress mount yet another limp, insufficient response to Venezuela, to Jack Smith's testimony, to [waves at all of this] and think they'll do anything to get justice in the post-Tr*mp era. If Dems won't act w/ the power we lend them, we need to move. ASAP.

Another clear case of the hell unleashed on a nation's citizenry when a government aligns with Russia. Around the time Poland escaped the decades of decay that Moscow's grip entailed, Venezuela embraced the Russian world. - Poland now a $1 trillion economy. - Venezuela back to 1930's

We need to be honest with ourselves and our leaders about Venezuela We are a rogue state, a global pariah Trump is ruling as a dictator, period An axis of evil wants to carve up small, resource-rich nations The message for 2026 is clear: No kings! My new column www.inquirer.com/opinion/trum...

Trump in an interview with The Atlantic: “If Delcy Rodríguez -Acting President of Venezuela- doesn’t do what needs to be done, she’ll pay a very high price, probably higher than Maduro.”

@maddow.bsky.social: “There are very few Americans right now who have any idea why the United States did this. If this was about drug trafficking then why did President Trump just pardon the former President of Honduras who was convicted of sending hundreds of tons of drugs into the US?”

This is the thing. There’s no reason to believe dictatorship is over in Venezuela. The same government is in charge, just with a new leader. Who will likely become more popular by opposing the U.S.

"(Trump) then posted a photo that allegedly shows a bald eagle that had supposedly been windmilled to death. how could we let something like this happen in America? to our national bird, no less!" www.jefftiedrich.com/p/this-week-...

Tomi Lahren: “and you will never believe where Joe Biden was spotted. spoiler alert. he’s on vacation.” Uh,.. AND? "(Biden’s) retired. he’s out of office. he’s a private citizen. he’s recovering from cancer treatment." www.jefftiedrich.com/p/this-week-...

I don’t care how delicious you are, perfectly made cheesesteak sammich! I’m only eating half of you and an apple 🍎!

So, this is insane to me... Years ago, I lightly vandalized a bathroom in a bar in San Fran. I did not invent this idea, I just thought it funny enough to replicate... I Googled it to show someone, and I have discovered, MY graffiti in particular is the 1st thing that appears ! It's on SHIRTS! 😮

“Me am Prezidint! Iran no shots protesters!”

Hold the phone, are you telling me that the guy on the right created a chatbot that is producing child pornography? And are you also telling me that the President whose campaign he funded and who was Jeffrey Epstein's "best friend" for a while wants to prevent any form of AI regulation? Weird.

After hearing Jack Smith's harsh, direct and unflinching testimony, the most appalling piece is how Judge Aileen Cannon did everything she could to block justice from holding Trump and his toadies accountable. roberthubbell.substack.com/p/jack-smith...

I got a great deal on ebay for an SH Figuarts Star Wars Boba Fett, as I've been replacing and upgrading from Hasbro Black Series. This is one of the rare times that I've actually felt conflicted about which is the better figure! (Black Series on the left) 👇

It chills me when I see a pic of Kirby like this to realize, I am now probably older than he is in this photo and how much he had experienced and achieved when this photo of him, so vibrant and creative, was taken. A good reminder for a New Years Day, that our time is limited. Make the most of it.

Happy New Year.

How it started: How it’s going:

"America’s artists will resist this latest attempt at dictating conformity in a hundred different ways. They will resist, they will refuse, they will mock and they will summon all their talent and creativity to tell the truth. There is no way that Trump - can possibly compete with that."

Introduce yourself with what almost killed you. Hi, I'm a formula fed baby in 1969 with a severe, undiagnosed milk allergy.

People with bandaged hands that don't heal are clearly always in perfect health.

Wasn't he still calling Biden "Sleepy Joe" a couple of weeks ago? Did Biden ever doze off like this Don Snoreleone does?

Mamdani: I have been told that this is the occasion to reset expectations, that I should use this opportunity to encourage the people of New York to ask for little and expect even less. I will do no such thing. The only expectation I seek to reset is that of small expectations.

From Mamdani's inaugural address this afternoon.

I am happy, for the first time in my life, to have reached my NY Resolution BY this new year. I am down over 50 pounds and to have my blood pressure and cholesterol well under control. I'm wearing a roomy size 34" pant waist down from a size 40. On my way to a size 32"! 2021 v Nov 2025 👇

Maybe it's me, but I'd love to have a long argument with the program director who believe listeners want to hear why other rando, faceless people like the radio channel that you're already listening to.

I'm so happy that may @dc.com career launch included drawing their first kiss! (Thanks to the incomparable @jmdematteis.bsky.social and those John Beatty inks!) (Wish Ice's top was colored blue, but I wasn't consulted, LOL) (JLA Quarterly #4 September, 1991) (love those freckles on Guy, Hannah!)

I love this Woozy Winks so much! What a great piece!

So Trump’s Mar-a-Lago actively sent employees to a known predator.

A good end to 2025 receiving JASON PEARSON'S BODY BAGS ARTIST'S EDITION courtesy of @act4publishing.bsky.social and Scott Dunbier, Keven Gardner and all the people who put this mammoth collection together to commemorate a unique vision in comics by an amazing creative force gone too soon. RIP.

In honor of @fabiannicieza.bsky.social's birthday, I'd like to share this classic story by Fabian Nicieza, @darickr.bsky.social, Mahlstedt, Rosas, Joyce, and Witterstaetter. Thirty-two years ago, the New Warriors celebrated the holidays in the "Present Tense!" www.facebook.com/photo?fbid=1...

Awaiting the announcements of the Ted Nugent/Kid Rock Trump-Kennedy Center residencies...

"Despite the damage he’s caused, Musk is escaping any consequences. His gutting of the government is in line with conservative goals (just look at Project 2025), so Republicans aren’t going to punish him."

Matt Gaetz, former Trump AG pick, had sex with underage girl while in Congress, House Ethics report says cnb.cx/49OlI2D

She has the microphone. She has immunity. If her concern were really about the victims, names in The Epstein Files would be said out loud — on the House floor. Silence isn’t caution. It’s a choice.

"I noticed a Post-It note on my grandparents’ fridge. “I donated $10 to Trump to get $2000 tariff check,” it read. “At the end it said I am charged to give $10 monthly. I did not!”

Who are the snowflakes now?
