It's almost as though a curious party could do a Google image search for "Nazi skull" and compare it against the various images of Platner with his shirt off pre-coverup.

I know the title is completely superficial, but I thought Stephen Miller was DEPUTY Chief of Staff for Policy, not DHS lead nor head of any federal law enforcement agency. Why the fuck is he threatening anybody or asserting anything involving immunity?

Ed Luce watching democracy die in the United States of America

during the 2016 campaign, the Boston Globe ran a scary mockup front page of what a world where Trump was president would look like, and it’s pretty tame compared to a random Friday morning’s headlines now

Camps. Concentration camps. The Mad Fascist is using the Navy to launder money for private interests to build concentration camps for people kidnapped by ICE, and he's using the Seabees on top of that.

Tomorrow we're going to see that this is walked back, and news about a bunch of assholes that shorted Canadian-related stocks or something, because that's just how this shit goes now. I don't know. I never want to hear anyone talk about how a woman president would be too emotional ever again.

Forgive me, Chicago, I was not aware of your game

“If the West Wing is the mind of the nation, then the East Wing is the heart.” - former First Lady Betty Ford The East Wing is gone. Over a century of American history, reduced to rubble. All to appease the vanity of a corrupt authoritarian.

Listen: covert supply chain intervention concerns regarding implantation of listening devices in, say, new buildings in US military bases in Guam are considered really serious. And this is the WHITE HOUSE. Has there been vetting of vendors? Contractors and subcontractors? All labor? We don’t know!

I imagine Scott Bessant had a brief moment of panic as the implicative spotlight momentarily swung his way, but was saved by Trump admitting yet again that he basically has no idea how his presidential authority is being used.

Gazing longingly at agate-filled washes and fascinating rock formations from behind a barbed wire fence 50 meters away because some nutsack rancher needs a 5,000 acre grazing land for his tax-break herd of 30 cows and the occasional hunting lease.

Hey remember when Trump ego-stroked himself publicly after 9/11 by saying he had the tallest building in downtown Manhattan? This is him doing that nonverbally with the White House and his stupid fucking ballroom.

Calling somebody a pervert for being into stuff like feet and armpits seems hollow, compared to what the techbros are doing these days. Someone who enjoys being spit on is less weird than someone who gets an ego boner from performative capitalist exploitation.

"Hey guys, thanks for buying into my reinvention of techno-serfdom. It really means a lot to me that you're debasing yourself for the opportunity to work on the big pervert machine that's helping to kill the world and make people stupider."

I have never seen 19 to the dead moments of 29 described in such a heart-rending simplicity. I hated my 20s. It was a neverending slide of wasted potential, constantly TRYING, and the stulted feeling of achievement sinking to unsatisfied dread. It felt like what being a teenager should have been.

The upside to this is that it revealed how much of Washington runs on formal agreements that were waiting to be utterly subverted by the stupidest brand of fascism imaginable.

"What's wrong with your brain" Buddy if I could successfully answer that I wouldn't be tethered to a tiny little magic brick with a video screen that routinely mistransliterates everything I type and ruins my life with bad thoughts.

Turning into real ADHD fuzzy brain hours. I went up and down my stairs three times trying to figure out what I needed because of back to back conflicting disruptive thoughts and I just live here now.

I deleted the tattoo commentary because fuck it, there's no point.

just this perpetual cycle where the tech press helps zuck pretend he's innovative and interesting, he falls flat on his ass after setting billions in boomer ad money on fire, then all his employees pay the price for him being a pointless, unremarkable dipshit

I keep saying we haven't made it a year into this shitshow yet, but it feels very much like there hasn't been a week where we rediscover there is no bottom to the feckless corruption and insanity.

it's cool how we have a government that 4chans constantly on twitter and shows off videos of the president shitting on americans while also being like, "make sure nobody sees us destroying the white house" this is super normal stuff for highly stable nations

When you are pure of heart no amount of earnestness is Cringe. When you are a malevolent little freak no amount of sarcasm is enough to make you cool

The shitty thing is that although this is entirely on Trump and Vance for the stupid, wasteful display of power, it'll be the Marines of MEF 1 that get it for the fuckup. Also we should see a picture of the motorcade vehicle that got hit, so we can understand how that could've been random civilians.

Vance spokesperson: “Gavin Newsom wants people to think this exercise is dangerous.” <shrapnel hits Vance’s motorcade> Vance spokesperson: No comment.

Even ardent protectionists would tell you that tariffing bananas and coffee is idiotic and yet it took the administration six months to get here

Half my feed is fucked up news and the other half is fucking. I'm oscillating between horrified and hornified.

This is very likely why Admiral Alvin Holsey initiated his retirement process. There is no way he did not have intelligence identifying that the Navy erroneously struck an uninvolved country's personage in their territory. The fact that it took a month for him to resign is telling.

All the Democrats have to do for 2026 attack ads against Red candidates is run a supercut of all the things the regime has done over the last year with the words "HE HATES YOU" superimposed in bold over them. OR Supercut all the weird AI shit he's been putting out. Starting with the foot video.

“So it looks like you’re flying a fighter jet and wearing a crown, but it turns out it’s really a bomber and the bombs are poops. You’re up there pooping on all the cities in America because you’re the king of America, and so of course you shit on it when it doesn’t behave. It’s high concept, sir.”

Mad King Baby responds to the No Kings protests with a resoundingly stupid "Nuh-uh!" Tens of millions voted for this. We are still not fully done with the first year of his second term.

A US president, furious about protests essentially clarifying everyone thinks he sucks and responding to it with AI videos of him in a crown flying a fighter jet dumping shit onto American citizens & Nancy Pelosi kneeling to him as a king? Fuck dog, not even satirical Cyberpunk scifi predicted this

Solidarity is the only way

I feel like these are all things anyone not a Young Republican on a college campus could tell you. Also I've said it multiple times before, but this new generation of conservatives really is making an effort at being ideologically worse than their predecessors.

Friendly fire, because you got too eager at the violent pig orgy.

So we're arresting Miller and Noem after all this bullshit is done and he's either out of office or dead, right? Arresting them for suborning the power of the presidency by putting an old racist idiot in a cardboard box with pictures on the inside and shaking it really hard?

Friday night massacre at the CDC per the New York Times.

They didn’t just NOT give Trump the Nobel Peace Prize, they wrote a citation that reads like an anti-Trump rallying cry. (He’s gonna extra-tariff Norway now, isn’t he?)

This has got to be infuriating for Stephen Miller.

This new wave of young conservatives is the fucking worst. All the farcical bloviating of Nixon and Reagan with the predatory crudity of manosphere podcasters, stupid but well connected, believing in their absolute untouchability. The arrogance of surviving having their ass kicked maybe once.

Over the 10 months since I cancelled my WaPo sub, I've gone from "maybe I was too hasty" to "no that was the right choice" to now being relieved my tiny contribution couldn't be put into the pockets of shitheads like Marc Thiessen.

Another demonstration of the two-tiered justice system in the United States: you can subvert a legal fight by just simply buying out the problem and quietly making it go away.

I love being away and seeing what's out in the world, but fuck do I hate waking up to see what's happened at home.

It's crazy how hard this concept is being pushed, but nobody is asking on live television what the antithesis of "anti-Antifa" is.

It's gone beyond dementia; somebody in the White House is still feeding him a steady false media diet and running the country by using his authority to enact the terrible things we're seeing in Portland and Chicago. All signs point to Miller, at the very least.
