By decree of Executive Order, American football will henceforth be known as Trumpball and the NTL franchise in Washington will be known as the Führers.

@celticsnba.bsky.social Since Jordan Walsh apparently doesn't like the nickname The Garbage Man, I propose we call him Mr. Clean. I mean, it's perfect. He's bald and he cleans up on the boards all the time!

'Verbal jujitsu:' ABC host ends interview as JD Vance refuses to answer bribery question www.rawstory.com/abc-vance-ho...

“ICE goes masked for a single reason — to terrorize Americans into quiescence. In all our history we have never tolerated an armed masked secret police. Carrying on in this fashion, ICE brings indelible obloquy to this administration and everyone who works in it.” — federal judge William Young

According to the tracking website, Trump is not golfing again today, making it just the second weekend of his second term in which he will have not golfed. The other weekends he stayed off the links were for his military birthday parade, and for his "summit meeting" in Alaska with Putin. Dead yet?

Trump might actually be dead. This is the first Saturday since his military birthday parade that he has not gone golfing, according to a website that tracks his outings. There have been only four other Saturdays since his inauguration in which he did not golf.

When things get tough, Mike Johnson has a motto for the House: "Get out of town." That makes it easier to shirk their duty.

Under Trump, the promise of the American dream has been converted to an IOU. And he, of course, never pays his debts.

When I see this troglodyte and hear him speak, I feel as if we are stuck in some dystopian episode of "Dick Tracy" with Pruneface concocting a diabolical plan to unleash bioterror on the world.

Oh, good. To replace the honest, non-partisan head of the Bureau of Labor Statistics, has nominated the chief economist for the Heritage Foundation, so this literally has project 2025 written all over it.

"Fuck you, you 'roid-addled nepo carny." — Stephen Colbert to Robert F. Kennedy Jr. — — — He is not going down quietly!

@amnanawaz.bsky.social please stop using Trump's hideous branding when you mention the most despicable piece of legislation in American history. This is akin to you acceding to his demand to call it the Gulf of America!

@chadfinn.bsky.social I love the Horace Ivory reference today!

@altnps.bsky.social I just learned of this effort by Trump to get citizen surveillance at national parks and monuments. So sad.

Say no more.

The McHamberder!

You know who is benefiting from Trump's chaos and whirlwind of deregulation? Big banking, that's who. JPMorgan Chase, the largest bank in the country, reports bumper quarterly earnings — up 20% since The Totalitarian was installed.

For proof of this theory, just look at the Trump administration.

Tom Brady has no problem killing the poorest kids in the world, depriving Americans of healthcare, sending the military into our cities; and every other unconstitutional Trump act. Brady proved it today by joining Trump in the luxury box for the Club World Cup final. If you hobnob, you condone.

Trump keeps saying "we are bringing in billions and billions of dollars in tariffs." The United States is bringing in NOTHING. The money was already in the US economy. It's just being taken out of our pockets as TAXES.

@chadfinn.bsky.social I know that as a sports journalist it is a hard move so I salute your decision to leave the cesspool of Twitter.

He loves to pop out of his Air Force One cuckoo clock with his clown hat, saying outlandish shit to reporters on board, looking shitfaced with dementia.

Some say the world will end in fire. Some say in ice. I say it will end in a 6-3 decision.

Instead of working to protect America from the kind of Trojan horse attack of drones inflicted upon Russia by Ukraine, Pete Hegseth is focused on a more important goal: decommissioning ships named after a homosexual. He holds a very warped concept of "modern warfare."

"They are taking many, many dollars out of your pocket." — the man charging Americans the most exorbitant tariffs in history, explaining why he wants to extort an end to New York City's traffic congestion pricing.

A friend of mine who lives in New Hampshire tells me he is suddenly no longer seeing those Trump banners that used to be outside his neighbors' houses! And they were still there as of last week.

They have some nerve claiming that the students being deported for expressing political opinions are a threat to "foreign policy." Nothing is a bigger threat to our foreign relations than the hateful shit coming out of the mouths of Trump, JD Vance, Pete Hegseth and Marco Rubio.

By my count, the United States of America is down to three allies: Russia, Israel and El Salvador. Good going, Shitler.

In the multimillion dollar ad campaign designed specifically and expressly to thank Donald Trump, COSplaying Kristi Noem says, "America welcomes those who respects our laws." That is a FUCKING LIE! More than half those being deported — including Rumeysa Öztürk — have broken no laws.

The post that got me kicked off Facebook. When I posted and discussed this feature in the Times about Careless People by former Facebook Global Policy director Sarah Wynn-Williams, with quotes from it, Facebook instantly pulled the plug on my page. A must read. www.thetimes.com/article/11d5...

And just like that the whole cabinet is deployed to do commercials for Elon Musk and his businesses.

Stanford law professor Pamela S. Karlan to the New York Times on the latest crisis in the judiciary with the Trumpkins ignoring the ruling of judge James E. Boasberg to stop deportation flights to Venezuela:

Karoline Leavitt is the dumbest, most combative and most pre-programmed White House press secretary in history. She thinks her No. 1 responsibility is defiance.

Mere hours after getting off the phone in "peace" talks, with Trump, Putin unleashed a withering attack of missiles and drones on multiple Ukrainian cities, including Kyiv. The Russian journalist I cited earlier was right. Putin cannot afford to have this war end, and will not allow it to happen.

It's hard to believe but we are now in darker times in America than we were during McCarthyism. I thought the "Red Scare" would represent the ethical and moral low in American government. But Trump has a new standard.

I WILL no longer refer to it as the "federal government." What we have is a "FERAL government." Nothing but wild animals out for their own.

I can't believe I now live in a country where the only hope of democracy is a military coup. Project 2025 won. There will be nothing else stopping them.

@altnps.bsky.social I see so many entrepreneurs trying to capitalize on your resistance by selling for their own profits, hats and T-shirts that seem to be endorsed by you. Do you have an actual marketplace for this? I keep criticizing businesses that post this and would like to guide them there.

@jamellebouie.net I am surprised your head did not blow up trying to have a reasonable conversation with Tiffany Smiley!

I noticed that virtually every news publication worldwide is making the same mistake. They identify Dmitry Peskov as Putin's spokesman. He lost his job to Trump.

@mayorwu.boston.gov Very upset that you're using the highly obtrusive Act Blue and it wasn't evident to me until after I made the donation. Never again!

Orange Manbaby!

“Well, it sounds like that’s the direction they are headed.” — feckless Senator Lisa Murkowski, merely a spectator as she watches Trump restore diplomatic and business relationships with Russia.

“Right now, you have got to give him some space.” — Senator John Thune, the majority leader, on the GOP's public policy in watching Trump run roughshod over America and the world. Translation: "Right now we are all scared shitless but don't have the courage to make a stand."

By this logic, it would be legal for me to end him.

I actually hated them before now but since Trump was reelected, all I want to listen to is murder podcasts!

The Musk pronouncement that DOGE finds rampant corruption and fraud in government and he will soon produce proof sounds more and more like Rudy Giuliani's breathless claims that he will soon produce evidence of a stolen election in 2020. ... We are still waiting on both.

You may not have a legal and ethical government when prosecutors you hired would rather resign than follow through on your orders, and the remaining ones need to be locked in a room and threatened to sign the paper that Trump needs for his criminal quid pro quo with Eric Adams.

The Daytona 500 is tomorrow. Of course, Trump has announced his intentions to attend because he's not getting enough attention with President Musk around, and he figures a NASCAR crowd would give him a big ovation. Let's hope they boo!
