The normalization of this madness is so quick that we’re debating whether a second illegal strike was wrong after an initial illegal strike with no proof of any crime and we’ve already seen just random murders of fishermen normalized with the excuse they’re running drugs, which isn’t legal either.

tis the *yawn* season

irony= FoxNews reporting on the 11 people flat-out summarily executed in a Hegseth boat strike still being obligated to use the term " -alleged- narco terrorists"

Hakeem Jefferies saying on CNN that DJT has made the "border secure" reminds me of something ..what is it? ..oh yeah: when people usta say about Mussolini that 'he made the trains run on time' ..primary this jerk

their souls & identities are so wrapped up in the cult that when it ends, as all things must, they will be lost & devastated ..i literally think that those that dont dutifully end their own lives & take their families w/ them will turn their fury onto the world at large ..i expect carnage

just how deep is my cynicism? ..i often suspect that the more decent party is still not above letting the less decent party get away w/ any number of horrors just to insure they have something to run against ..& that both parties know that, & are cool w/ it

i'll rock paper scissors ya for it, guys

Stop asking why corporate Democrats keep failing and pay attention to what they do. Jeffries is openly pushing the party to move further into Neoliberal capitalism and championing an agenda that’s defined by a venture capitalist. They’re not failing. They’re in on it. www.axios.com/2025/12/01/j...

We have a fascist regime attempting to take total control and their disrespect of the military and scapegoating of its leaders is far, far from an insignificant thing. There is much to be decided in the near future, but these things are not small.

there's a fine line between: 'my brilliant cult leader is always playing 4D chess', & 'i'm pretty much a complete dumbass that hopes to be allowed to cash in'

Why didn’t Trump order flags to be flown at half staff for National Guard member Sarah Beckstrom like he did for Charlie Kirk? 🤔

If the Venezuelan sailors were enemy combatants, then the 2nd strike is a war crime. If the Venezuelan sailors weren’t enemy combatants, then both strikes are criminal murder. It’s that simple.

dear Rep Jefferies if we're looking for an answer to the Right's: 'MAGA', may i respectfully suggest: 'FUKK THIS SHIT'..? ..yeah, prolly not 'centrist' enough, huh?

The wealthy have stolen so much wealth and rigged the system so far that our economy is on the verge of collapse. They’re pushing fascism and dismantling democracy to get at what little remains. We don’t have to live like this. We deserve better. jaredyatessexton.substack.com/p/the-game-t...

but he dosent think they or their questions are stupid bc they have their facts wrong, he thinks theyre stupid bc theyre daring to contradict him

someday a real Black Friday will come and wash all the scum off the streets

kind of a cliche to say DJT is sliding into dementia, but between: 'quiet piggy!', calling a reporter 'ugly' in a post, & today's accusation of 'are you a stupid person?' (all 3, notably, aimed at women reporters) he really comes off like a hostile sundowner unhappy his creamed corn has gone cold

It’s time for a lot of people to wrestle with the fact that bad actors aren’t doing these things because they’re being blackmailed or bribed but because they are benefitting financially and they haven’t dealt with their own shit so they are perpetually destroying everything.

Aristotle: humans are the rational animal. Humans: lol okay buddy, we'll see about that.

I'd recommend not overanalyzing the bizarre Trump presser with Mamdani today. Trump was enraged about the Epstein Files, expressed that rage by threatening to k*ll members of Congress, realized he went too far and opted to play nice with a man he falsely calls a Communist to get a day of good press.

I don’t want to brag but the stupid we’ve seen this week feels next level

once again encouraging you to make de-motivational business cards and leave them on cop cars.

w/ all due respect to the artist, in light of the use of a particular epithet by a notable US public figure, i'm reminded of the uncanny resemblance of said public figure & Jim Woodring's character 'Manhog', which i first noticed in 2020, & would like to recall your kind attention to at this time:

For 5% of the American population, waging war against American cities to create a dictatorial white theocratic ethnostate was not too far, but being a core part of a decades-long ring of child-rapists was too far. So that's nice. One wonders what it will take for the next 5% to fall away.

It's not a foolproof plan but every political debate from now on should be a Normal Guy competition. Ask them to describe grocery shopping in detail. Talk about what it's like to have a friend

The Epstein scandal is a symptom of a larger disease The capture and corruption of American politics and institutions of power has created a criminal, abusive, and degenerate class of elites who believe they are untouchable and don’t care who they hurt jaredyatessexton.substack.com/p/its-rotten...

American discourse is dominated by salacious stories about privileged people with obvious issues who make their issues everyone else’s problems. The suffering of normal people gets lost because that’s the nature of this society. It’s sick and someday we’ll get past it.

You showed dick pics of Hunter Biden on the floor of the US House Of Representatives. Fuck off with your apology tour.

The greatest thing would be if Clinton responded in classic Trump fashion: “Maybe it’s true. Maybe not. I don’t really care. But a lot of people are saying it.”

If only the Orange King was the backbone of the right wing movement. He’s just a front man. The real danger is behind him, obscured from view. ONE of the biggest problems we have is the Supreme Corruption who broke the Constitution to allow him on the ballot. They have lifetime appointments.

What a terrible day to know how to read

can we not?

New article! Or rather, a round-up of articles I wrote on some of my favorite people. David Lynch, Gunnar Hansen, Georgia O'Keeffe, Bobbie Gentry... And commentary on my least favorite people, Trump and Epstein... sarahkendzior.substack.com/p/the-celebr...

Happy partially muscled skeleton screaming before vanishing day to all those who celebrate.

-Dems unearth a bunch of JE emails -emails seem to show JE had a pretty low opinion of DJT -savvy RightWing type spins this as: 'Dems aligning w/ sex predator Epstein' ..damn bro, you spinning like a Beyblade over here

i heard it was gonna rain, so, beef stew

Media standards: 1) No Democratic scandal on par with Trump-Epstein, so it’d be biased and unfair to five it much attention. 2) Trump wouldn’t be shamed into resigning and his cult of personality wouldn’t abandon him, so Trump-Epstein wasn’t worth pursuing. Way too many think that’s journalism.

The Democrats' election plan, as always, is to point at the Bad Man and say he's bad. But this is the time to talk about how this oligarchic political and economic system allowed this kind of person to take power in the first place, and how it should be changed. No appetite for that

Reinstate Sarah Kendzior

Guys guys… Of course the Democratic Party would make people suffer for 40 days only to give up with no concessions! I mean, Mamdani just won and everyone has hope! And if everyone has hope, how can they sell you despair in 2026/28?!

"The Vichy Dems' heel turn is not new. You couldn’t see the heel because it was stepping on your face." sarahkendzior.substack.com/p/the-conflu...

kinda tired of people who will never have to worry about getting healthcare or food stamps deciding whether i can, tbh

Are any of the Dem senators who say they’ll vote “no” on caving in to the Republicans actually willing to deny unanimous consent and slow things to a crawl to give voters time to register their anger?

(1 of 3) I used to negotiate for a living, and I'm trying to determine how many basic rules of negotiation these eight schmucks who somehow stumbled into becoming United States Senators violated. The list seems endless. For instance, if your negotiating partner is fucking crazy sociopathic ghoul...

just one more election bro I swear just one more election and it will be different bro just one more AOC bro we can totally move the party left bro we need to win in the midterms bro no way trump runs for a 3rd term bro no kings no demands protest is fine bro just one more election I swear
