VENEZUELA AND THE TECHNOCRATS Making Sense of MAGA's Threats Against Venezuela, Greenland, Canada and Beyond

I think it’s time to stop pretending that America isn’t one of the most corrupt nations on earth.

The Department of Justice was required to submit the written justification for any redactions to Congress by January 3, 2026. Sure hope nothing else newsworthy was on the docket that day.

Who remembers this little gem?

No lies detected here.

HEALTHCARE 101 Why Donald Trump’s Healthcare “Plan” Is A Slap in the Face to America by Shane Almgren shanealmgren.substack.com/p/healthcare...

In today's edition of I SWEAR TO GOD YOU CAN'T MAKE THIS SH*T UP... The Notorious P.I.G. is now selling his own Trump wine and cider at military bases. economictimes.indiatimes.com/news/interna...

BREAKING: The Senate has reached a tentative deal to reopen the government. It'll still need to pass in the House to go through. www.politico.com/news/2025/11...

Define IRONY: The man who coined the term "Sleepy Joe" peacefully napping in his office chair...behind the Resolute Desk...in the Oval Office...IN THE MIDDLE OF A FREAKING TELEVISED PRESS CONFERENCE

I Watched the Entire Hegseth-Trump Speech to the Generals so You Don't Have to.

The GOP’s “official talking point” about the government shutdown is that it’s all the Democrats’ fault for insisting on giving free healthcare to illegal immigrants, which has never been a thing.

CONSERVATIVES: Charlie Kirk is the MLK of our time! He deserves statues, and parades, and memorials! ALSO CONSERVATIVES: Charlie Kirk is right about MLK! The man was “awful” and doesn’t deserve any of the praise people heap upon him!

It’s almost impressive how fast the “Facts Don’t Care About Your Feelings” crowd scraps this mantra the instant it’s THEIR feelings getting butthurt.

I guess we’re just threatening war with everyone now?

GASLIGHTING, SELECTIVE OUTRAGE & THE INSUFFERABLE HYPOCRISY OF THE RIGHT by Shane Almgren

Senate Republicans just voted against releasing the Epstein files. abcnews.go.com/Politics/sch...

Anyone besides me find it baffling that colleges are no longer allowed to consider race for admissions, but SCOTUS just ruled that cops and ICE are allowed to consider race as a viable means to detain people without any other probable cause?

I guess we’re just pro war crimes now?

The “President” of the United States of America is on social media threatening to go to war with an American city.

BREAKING: Trump to sign Executive Order tomorrow renaming the Department of Defense to the Department of War.

Who woulda ever in a million years thunk that Speaker Moses Mike was covering for a wealthy donor?!?

BREAKING: Washington DC just sued the Trump Administration over "illegal deployment of National Guard" to their city. www.bbc.com/news/article...

Your president*, ladies and gents: “As previously mentioned, we are giving serious thought to taking away Rosie O’Donnell’s Citizenship. She is not a Great American and is, in my opinion, incapable of being so!”

BREAKING: The House Oversight Committee just released 33,000 pages of Epstein files! www.cbsnews.com/live-updates...

BREAKING: Trump just held a major press conference to announce that…he’s moving Space Command from Colorado to Alabama. Um…cool?

For the record, the U.S. has so far taken in about $136 BILLION from tariffs, which I supposed is better than nothing. Who remembers back to 2024 when our Country was completely destroyed and our military power was obliterated thanks to no awesome tariffs? Don't all raise your hands at once.

Here's what Trump was doing with his Saturday: posting AI pictures of himself on social media. Really, these are precious. You could steal an old lady's purse directly in front of this lard ass and escape his meaty justice by slowly jogging up a small flight of stairs. Judge Dread he is not.

BREAKING: Trump just cancelled Kamala Harris’ Secret Service detail. Vice Presidents usually get 6 months of security protection after leaving office, but Biden signed a memorandum in January extending it to 18 months for his VP. Trump just revoked it. www.nbcnews.com/news/amp/rcn...

A sharp-eyed DIY’er has uncovered evidence of what many of us suspected - Trump is a cheap bastard with a fetish for gold spray paint.

According to the Trump Administration, DC’s homeless population is largely responsible for the “crisis” the National Guard is allegedly there to address. It costs $169,000 a day to operate DC’s entire homeless operation. It costs $424,000 a day to have the National guard there.

BREAKING GOOD NEWS: A judge has just ruled that “Alligator Alcatraz” has 60 days to shut down! www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Folks, we are witnessing political satire for the ages! Since MAGA loves to hijack our terms and repurpose them for their own bad-faith arguments, I say we start returning the favor. I hereby declare that MAGA now stands for Make America Gavin Already. MAGA!!!!!!

Life comes at you fast

THIS WEEK’S SIGN OF THE FASCIST APOCALYPSE: Florida, which already leads the country in censorship book-banning has just banned The Diary of Anne Frank. And nobody on the Right sees the irony in that.

Wow. In an effort to drastically ramp up ICE recruiting goals, would-be masked Gestapo agents are being offered starting salaries of $90k, sign-on bonuses of $50k, and…freaking STUDENT LOAN FORGIVENESS! Where is f’ing DOGE when you need them? www.newsweek.com/ice-recruitm...

Gavin Newsom is the best SNL Trump ever. Prove me wrong.

President Newsom continues the epic trolling of Convict Trump

Right-Wing podcaster Benny Johnson just called for black neighborhoods in DC to be "emptied" and "bulldozed". I recently did a piece about Benny's suspicious YouTube activity which is more relevant than ever: substack.davidpakman.com/p/the-most-s...

The Trump administration is now seeking to replace PBS with “Prager University,” a far-right propaganda organization that isn’t actually a university. One of their “kids videos” has Christopher Columbus telling them that slavery was “no big deal” and “better than being killed.”

Trump’s latest polling numbers just came out showing his National Approval rating at 37%. His net approval rating is at -8.6 for August, and has even fallen 9% points among Republican voters since taking office. Trump’s response? “Wow! Highest polling Republican President in HISTORY! Thank you.”

Newsom has apparently discovered his calling in life.

It’s Back-To-School Month! Remember, reading is fundamental for ages 5 through 79!

Define “narcissist”: Convicted felon Trump fires the head of the Kennedy Center, appoints himself chairman, then shares a post of the Center he’s the self-appointed head of thanking himself for “restoring the grandeur” of the thing that was already perfectly fine before he showed up and ruined it.
