“Operating in a narcissistic fantasy that he is beloved by voters and clueless about what is at stake, Trump naturally cannot imagine that Democrats would deny him their votes to take away healthcare from millions of Americans.” Jen Rubin on the shutdown.

If you hate the Pope because he is too “liberal”, I have some very bad news for you about Jesus.

In any other country, if federal agents fired upon journalists when unprovoked — what would we call it? If federal agents marched down streets demanding papers — what would we say? Authoritarianism — let’s not pretend it’s something else when it happens in our American cities.

Truth!

When authoritarianism is on the rise, you can count on the richest, least vulnerable men on the planet to be the biggest cowards.

Go Mariners! Time to take control of the division!

Continuing the theme…

Want me to stop calling the Trump regime fascists? Then they need to stop doing fascist things. I’m not holding my breath. From the Cincinnati Enquirer, Feb. 4, 1939:

CARTOON OF THE DAY 🇺🇸

David Letterman is right: you can't appease a tyrant.

Today is the 55th anniversary of the release of Paranoid by Black Sabbath.

Perspective

And Stephen Colbert And Mathew Dowd And anyone else that this fascist regime is trying to silence for using their 1st Amendment Rights.✊️✊️✊️

This isn’t just! It’s unconstitutional! It’s hypocritical! It’s immoral! It’s illegal! It’s wrong! It’s unprecedented! They don’t care about any of those things. They laugh at handwringing. It’s about acquiring & wielding power. You can’t shame them, you have to defeat them.

The only hope of uniting this country is in our shared hatred of health insurance companies. We should lean into that.

Kimmel statement in other words, not about Kirk, not colorably hate speech, but about MAGA. And accurate besides. Shame on ABC.

Fuck ABC! Fuck Nexstar Media! Fuck Perry A Sook! Most of all fuck the hell off FCC chairman and world class cunt Brendan Carr. Free speech MY ASS! Free speech for a hate mongering shit stain like Charlie Kirk, but don’t anything that may upset Der Führer! We love you @jimmykimmel.com!

Everyone please stop reposting the “600 federal judges have voted to impeach Roberts”. It’s from a satire site and it’s also obviously not credible.

The Hortmans RIP didn't invoke extremist propaganda or hate! They believed in live and let live without infusing it with White Nationalist Christian dogma!

Another source: The left, you know, the side that advocates for reasonable gun control, is NOT the wellspring of political violence in the U.S.

Charlie Kirk had every right to say what he said, and his murder was an abomination and antithetical to the ethos of the USA. Equally true, he spewed hate like a broken sewer main and was a 2nd amendment absolutist. Sow the wind. Reap the whirlwind.

Mehdi spells it out. The violence is overwhelmingly from the right. youtube.com/shorts/XZysH...

The liberal rag known as The Economist (that’s sarcasm for the uninformed, btw) shows actual data on which side of the political spectrum is prone to violence. It’s the right, by a WIDE margin. Anyone who tells you different is either ignorant or actively lying to you.

Here’s CK in his own words. If you agree with what he says you’re a horrible person too. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

For Charlie Kirk’s sake, we should all tone down the political rhetoric, right?

I feel nothing but sympathy for Charlie Kirk’s family who have lost someone they deeply loved. He was still a complete cunt.

Charlie Kirk was the victim of his own hateful rhetoric. You can’t issue hit lists without ending up on one.
