I find this talk of the fascists wanting to deport "migrants" a bit confusing. Are we talking about migrating birds, US citizens who winter abroad, immigrants? Legal? Illegal? Both? Doesn't matter? Why can't people talk normally anymore?

Did you see fascist Leader / crime boss / conservative, Republican president Lord Dampnut declaring he would bomb some site in Iran "just for fun"? It's called fascist street cred. The old Nazis liked swaggering about like that, joking and laughing about killing people. Creates a lot of hatred.

Speaking of complacent, conservative corporate news, how about the headline I saw suggesting conservative, Republican crackpot and scientific nincompoop Mr. Kennedy wanted to "slim down" vaccine recommendations for kids. Are the recommendations too heavy now? Unhealthy? That's why? "US journalism."

Conservative, Republican voters having gotten everything everyone supposed would attend their victory, "I didn't vote for this!" Why can't conservative, Republican voters ever face facts, the truth, why must they always lie, about everything, to everyone, including one supposes themselves? So weak.

I like the way people try to introduce non-voters after the fact to undermine our democratic system. It can be used for anything, right? "Well, a lot people chose not to vote!" Oh, well, in that case we must not have a legitimate democratic government, and we should all be lawless gangsters, right?

If history is any guide, egoistic, hubristic fascists become much, much worse if they feel they may lose. It means however offensive, obnoxious, disgusting conservative, Republican voters are now, one may expect them to become that much worse in the near future. Something to watch for.

Did you see that one obnoxious fascist howler monkey from the backwoods of Georgia, Neo-Confederate former Republican Rep. Greene, explaining, "It's turned into some perverted, deranged version of MAGA now that nobody wants." Sure, it's "turned into" that. Just now. It's conservatism, Republicanism.

Sounds like anti-democracy conservative, Republican fascists are trying to restrict voting to one day to make it more difficult for working people to vote and to play games by restricting polling locations in some locations thus making it more difficult for certain voters to cast a vote.

Did you catch conservative, Republican, puerile nincompoop Lord Dampnut's version of "I meant to do that?" It was "I predicted all this stuff." What stuff? Whatever you've been hearing about the Iran War and really, I suppose, anything else. Whatever it was, he predicted it. And he meant to do it.

The conservative, Republican Save "America" Act sounds an odd mix of vote suppression ideas (special IDs, proofs of citizenship, no mail in ballots) and anti-trans bigotry. So that's what "America" means to conservatives, Republican voters? Remarkable. But then, they are fascists, after all.

Speaking of corporate fascism, did I read the Pentagon recently granted Hitler-salute throwing billionaire megalomanic Mr. Musk access to classified military networks? Why do conservative, Republican voters love unelected establishment elite plutocrats so damned much? All that ethical "merit?"

WSJ seems to love touting the idea Lord Dampnut is managing to form some sort of coalition or axis of fascist powers to help conservative, Republican gangsters carry out their world-wide terror campaign of kidnapping, looting, killing for gold, land, and power. But, you know, conservative.

With all the saber rattling and boasting going on among conservative, Republican, fascist armchair military "experts," as General Bonespurs, aka Lord Dampnut, and that drunken TV presenter Mr. Kegseth, I would have thought they'd at least have the Iran War well in hand. Suddenly they want allies?

Oh, I get it. Congressional conservative, Republican fascists have been playing up their hatred for Muslims because if Lord Dampnut can't come up with any other pretext for his Iran War that passes the laugh test at least they can fall back upon Iran is meant to be an Islamic theocracy, so ...

I saw another post for my on-going series of remarkable uses of the word "liberal," both by anti-liberal "lefists" and by those based outside the US who speak English but not American English. The post complained about the "liberals" bombing Iran, with a picture of Lord Dampnut as an illustration.

On the oft vexing question of whether conservatives are worked up about illegal immigration or immigration in general, I saw where fascist Heritage Foundation agreed with conservative crackpot organization John Birch Society that "we have a legal immigration problem." So legality is not the issue.

Killing people in war out of dire necessity, as national defense, with seriousness and a heavy heart is one thing, killing people in war as a sort of lark, cracking wise, expressing joy, playing golf the whole time, is fascist / gangster stuff. Conservatism, Republicanism is disgusting.

On an entirely different matter, I was talking to someone concerned about trans women in women's sport due to an alleged competitive advantage over cis women from body size. I wonder if the introduction of more size and weight classes to women's sport might help? Something one sees in other sports?

I see fascist Leader / crime boss / conservative, Republican president Lord Dampnut has explained his criterion for ending the Iran War, which he's explained is either a small limited excursion or a forever war: he will end the war when he "feels it in his bones." Make of that what you will.

Speaking of the rhetorical use of the term "anti-semitism," I saw a funny one recently that argued the notion US conservative, Republican fascists may do things at Israel's behest, such as attacking Iran, is evidence of anti-semitism, as Israel is too small to force the USA to do anything.

Did you see what a jury in the southern Magatonian province of Texas did recently? Seems anyone protesting anything conservative, Republican fascists do in Texas can now be charged with "supporting terrorism" for belonging to "Antifa" on that account. No freedom of speech, no protesting for them.

Did you see fascist cos-playing Secretary of War Kegseth explain the fascist vision of Total War: "We will keep pushing, keep advancing. No quarter, no mercy for our enemies." (One commenter noted that's actually a war crime.) That Nazi bully boy must think he's insulated from all consequences.

Speaking of Christo-fascism, religious war, and the Iran War, I saw anti-democracy fascist and Neo-Confederate Sen. "Coach" Tuberville of Alabama claiming Americans are being "gunned down in the streets almost daily" by "radical Islamists" whose religion advocates murdering Christians.

Did you see fascist Secretary of Defense Kegseth justifying the Iran War with a classic bit of fascist double-talk, "War in the pursuit of peace is necessary."? One expects to see a domestic version of that soon enough, "Oppression in the pursuit of peace is necessary."

Still laughing to myself at the billionaire tech bro fascist who said the thing that made the USA "special" in his mind was its capacity to wage war. Not democracy, not the US Constitution, not our justice system, not our freedom of speech or thought, not freedom of conscience, not diversity, ...

Did you see anti-democracy fascist Secretary of Defense Kegseth going on about something he calls "warfighters," by which one supposes he means military personnel. US fascists do love the word "war," don't they? Department of War. Warfighters. War war war. They can't even talk normally about it.

Conservative, Republican voters saw the people of Iran starting to shift, chafe under theocratic rule, show signs of becoming pro-democracy, pro-liberal, and they rose up as one and said, "Oh hell no! Not on our watch! If Iran isn't ruled by hardline enemies of the USA, we will never be satisfied."

If you want to see what's wrong with the USA, look at a clip of Lord Dampnut giving a speech, but turn off the sound, and don't look at him, that lying POS isn't worth a second glance, look instead at the people behind him, his supporters, the ecstatic fascist rednecks clapping, cheering, laughing.

Anyone in the least familiar with typical conservative, Republican "projection" rhetoric could have easily foretold fascist leader / crime boss / conservative, Republican president Lord Dampnut and his fascist party intended starting wars and quite possibly WW3. They talked about it often enough.

Did you catch self-styled military genius US General Bonespurs (aka Lord Dampnut) explaining they never really considered the Iran War might affect shipping through the Strait of Hormuz? But it's all good. He's already explained it's good when oil prices rise because we make more money, so ...

One thing to keep in mind is that conservative, Republican voters welcome an economic downturn and applaud rising prices. They suppose, like Hitler-salute throwing megalomaniacal plutocrat Mr. Musk, that things must get worse before they can better, that democracy and the voters must be broken.

Speaking of funny fascist disinformation campaigns, it seems every time I look at the TV these days I'm greeted by an odd ad campaign in which actors playing senile old fools thank Lord Dampnut for supporting the woke, leftist, socialistic, welfare state, "Democrat program" of Medicare. Why is that?

For goodness sake, you don't need to post a photo of Lord Dampnut whenever you mention him. We know who he is. It's just, I don't care to see offensive garbage in my feed. Sometimes I reply to a string I didn't realize started with that, then I review my reply tab and end up having to delete.

I saw a piece on betting markets for war? Must be nice for rich, establishment elite conservatives, Republicans making the wars and having inside information on that, gives them an independent economic reason to go to war divorced from any military, political, strategic necessity or even rationale.

Did you see one of those establishment elite, billionaire, fascist tech-bros, in this case Palantir CEO Alex Karp, explaining "what makes American special right now" in his mind? It's "our lethal capacities," "our ability to fight war." That is special, isn't it? Like Nazi Germany before WW2.

I saw a celebrity economist talking about how he uses "economic logic" to make sense of the world. Just to be clear, there is no special logic nor indeed way of thinking peculiar to economics. Not real economics, anyway. Maybe for false, rhetorical bad economics in the conservative style.

Speaking of distributional or equity issues in economics, Marc Jacob called out an interesting use of the word "we" in conservative, Republican Lord Dampnut's claim that oil prices going up is good because when oil prices go up, "we make a lot of money." Some people may make money, but "we?"

The funny thing about living through this era of radical, extremist, conservative, right wing, fascist lunacy is one hears the most amazing things one has honestly never really heard before, such as that the US Constitution has as a goal the compelling of citizens to "appreciate their sex." Really?

Wait, what now? All-Republican 4th Circuit panel professes to think "encouraging citizens to appreciate their sex" by banning care for trans people a "constitutional goal?" Which constitution is that? Oh, they must be constitutional conservatives, so the one in their heads, not the US Constitution.

This is the post I referenced earlier. Being the fascist Leader and personally doling out rewards, pardons, tariffs, wars, deals seems to be working out quite well for establishment elite conservative, Republican Lord Dampnut. One supposes he'd be sorry to see it go.

Did you see according to Forbes 2026 Billionaire's List that fascist Leader / crime boss / conservative, Republican president Lord Dampnut is now sitting on $6.5 B worth of personal economic power? Up from $2.3 B in 2024? That establishment elite bigwig seems to be doing quite well for himself.

Just calling out a bit of terminological equivocation I saw recently. One may bomb a facility "intentionally" as opposed to accidentally dropping a bomb on it willy-nilly. "Double tapping" a facility suggests intentionality in that sense. However, one may have targeted that facility in error.

For decades, Republicans were all about screwing the poor and working class to enrich the establishment elite via tax, regulation, program cuts, and the relatively well-off investor class via goosing stock prices. However, these days they seem rather more selective: just deals for the one percent?

Fascist Leader / crime boss / conservative, Republican president Lord Dampnut didn't really name his military operation against Iran at Israel's behest Operation Epstein Fury, did he? I think that must be a joke. Give top billing to someone else? Possibly Operation Trump-Epstein Fury.

Did you see conservative, Republican voters acting through their representative, fascist Leader Lord Dampnut, blew through $5 B of munitions over the first two days of their Iran War? Well, at least they prevented anyone spending it on “Democrat programs” to help the people, am I right?

Fun thread on General Bonespur's (aka Lord Dampnut's) military and strategic thinking relating to the Iran War. Basically, destroy some things, presumably as part of some deal with Mr. Netanyahu and other conservatives, right wingers in Israel.

Speaking of putting random minor TV celebrities and entertainers like Fox Disinfotainment presenter Mr. Kegseth in positions like Secretary of Defense, did you see he barred press photographers from Pentagon briefings because he considered they had published "unflattering" photos of him?

Did you see how conservative, Republican fascist voters via their political representatives have been borrowing $50 B a week for the past five months, a furious pace CBO says is unsustainable? (Citation to follow.) But they're "fiscal conservatives" because they cut "Democrat programs?" Funny.

Speaking of the flippant way conservative, Republican fascist voters and their political representatives take offensive war, did you hear fascist Leader Lord Dampnut crowing about how "there's practically nothing left to target in Iran" so "anytime I want it (the war) to end, it will end." End?

I have a vague notion some may mistake conservative, right wing, fake anarchism / crypto-fascism / "libertarianism" with plain old time "libertinism," as in a life unrestrained by morality, which would seem to play into both the fake anarchism and the crypto-fascism (as Nietzschean philosophy).
