Sean Astin, quoting Tolkein in the character Sam, at Colbert

And then I turned off Cowardly Bloviating Sycophants. Dunked the Roku app. Ya know what was on after Colbert? Me either.

So, the USS Boxer was overdue to pair with USS Tripoli at the Iran theater, after an Iranian-aligned claim that Boxer had been "hacked." Systems down. But now it's floating away. And its doppelganger the USS Makin Island, which also carries hovercraft, is en route. Did Iran hack the Boxer?

Remember Musk's glee as he destroyed the US international health system, to divert $ to billionaires? The US Ebola response lab is shut. "Currently, the CDC has no director; there’s no US surgeon general; there’s no commissioner at the FDA." www.theguardian.com/world/2026/m...

That man's face is next to "backpfeiffengesicht" in the dictionary

When you're wondering why MAGA/P2025/Trump/Thiel/Musk are destroying the USA, turn to their words. They need democracy out of the way. Their world will have a few servants, a lot of AI robots (really), and beautiful lavish bunkers in the few safer places. One of which is on the Greenland coast.

All quite deliberate: you must fear your new Masters. If he sees you on the street and punches you for fun, well, too bad. When his Boys visit your home, pray they let you live. If not, they need not fear prosecution. Is anyone out there ready to fight back yet?

This day, the last day of lighthearted Colbert jokes, marks the first day of the all-hands-on-deck effort to expel fascism. Five months left, MAGA. Five months to starve and bomb the world. Five months to sit on those Epstein Files. Then the new Nuremberg trials begin.

Here's an autopsy for you @DNC --the patient died from class war and genocide. Your way forward is demonstrated clearly by Mamdani.

Even without satellites, Trump stole that election. www.gregpalast.com/trump-lost-v...

The "Embargo" against Cuba is actually a generations-long siege, which sends threats against any nation that dares to trade for Cuban doctors, sugar, or nickel. It's vile. Now Clownigula, sensing blood in the water, wants to snuff Cuban sovereignty. www.commondreams.org/news/trump-d...

So I guess Clownigula's talking to the UAE and Qatar, about what a disaster the war is. Now watch: Israel will mount a false-flag to draw him back in. Or maybe threaten an Epstein release. www.npr.org/2026/05/19/g...

So prosecute him, then, once they're all released. Joe Biden is not in power.

For example: The cliff above Guantánamo Naval Base is full of mortars. Several of them can be seen from the Base. The real ones can't be seen. There are enough hidden there to wipe it out, ships and all. Epstein Files Epstein Files Epstein Files www.aljazeera.com/news/2026/5/...

Well, we don't truly have a democratic republic yet. But with agitation, education, and struggle, we can get there. Education tenet #1: Rich people's desires are not more important than the majority's.

Can't help but notice that my fellow White people are calling it "a threat of authoritarianism" while everyone else is suffering full-blown fascism.

What does it take to remove the tyrant? Does he have to open the nuclear football in fury?

What joy, to celebrate the 250th anniversary of a nation whose first tier of wealth was sucked from the blood of chained Africans. Stand in the global warming heat, under the gun muzzles of thousands of soldiers, as some pious bootlicker prays aloud. Count me out. www.nytimes.com/2026/05/15/u...

I'm glad @NYTimes has dredged up this old lie. The "Cessnas" shot down over Cuba were paratrooper-drop planes with an enormous hatch in the belly. They had been used for murderous CIA-sponsored missions. It was right and proper to defend lives, and shoot them down. www.nytimes.com/2026/05/15/w...

Pauperization is an important component of the Trump/Musk/Thiel plan. If you're kept desperate, your principal activity becomes begging for work. And democracy fades from view, so that they never have to answer for their crimes.

Is he denouncing Jan6?

The sheer, chronic, pupil-separating cringe that walking smegma lump imposes on the national psyche, is brought to critical mass, any time he meets with a rational and/or competent world leader. www.nbcnews.com/politics/tru...

Ha, Raúl is at least 94. I hope he can still manage to give Uncle Sam the middle finger.

Treaty of Tripoli 1797, art. 11, as ratified by the US Congress: "t]he Government of the United States of America is not in any sense founded on the Christian religion." The quibblers note the non-ratified version doesn't have that phrase. It doesn't matter.

It must be humiliating to serve in the US military under a drooling tyrant and his drunken overseer. I confess I expected some sort of resistance. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

So we are now at the: 'throw off all pretence of democracy and do whatever it takes to maintain power'stage of fascism. The people of the USA are going to have to fight like Hungary to overcome this.

Traditionally, only MOST of the trillions spent for the Pentagon went to graft. Now it's all of it? The antiwar part of me is okay with this. No bombs, no victims.

Do not stop talking about what these animals did to these children. The President of the United States and his friends belong in prison. #EpsteinFiles #ProudBlue #OneV1 #Pinks

What an awesome time to be alive. We have the opportunity to confront tyranny, and to defeat it, and to rout it from the USA. Our victory will be an awesome inspiration.

They used Palantir AI to develop targets. "Garbage in, garbage out" --and AI adds its own garbage. No honor. So they take the Trump tactic: deny, deny, deny. Karma: that AI targeting is now training on Americans. Because every empire eventually turns on its own citizens.

It's time to ban members of Congress from lobbying for life. I have a new bipartisan bill to get it done.

Art for the win

I suspect another sneaky attack on trans persons. Also: is he growing horns out of his forehead? www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

Troop-landing carriers Tripoli & Boxer are in theater. 1000s of Marines can use VTOL & hovercraft (respectively) to try to suppress Iranian launchers, thereby (Trump thinks) freeing the Strait. Epstein Files are still unreleased. Iran's missiles still work. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

We talk about the sacrifice of the WW2 generation, but do we understand that their resolve came from a sense of community? Thousands of men and women accepted violent death, to stop fascism--to protect their children from degradation and enslavement. Why do we obey our rich abusers?

I'd just like to point out that whereas the Clownigula Administration has threatened to "find and kill" antifa and trans persons ...actually, there's no reason to complete that sentence. Nos qui morituri sumus te salutamus. www.lgbtqnation.com/2026/05/trum...

It just occurred to me that the July oil supply crunch will compete with the US military's petroleum demands to create a stunning price shock. Got your ration coupons yet?

Say it loud, say it proudly S O C I A L I S M delivers the goods!

A jackass, a putz, a humiliation on legs, a buffoon, self-deluded, incapable of empathy, incompetent at all but demagoguery, a menace, boiling with misogyny, homophobia, transphobia and racism, aggressively evil. Who does that apply to? www.commondreams.org/news/trump-a...

Most people simply don't understand that returning to a 1950 tax regime means prosperity.

Warning: No one is actually safe under a MAGA dictatorship.

The cost of White supremacy is very high indeed.

Can't stop thinking about the teeth. Poor murdered kids... Overthrow the Epstein Class!

Ty-D-Bowl rises from '70s TV ads to haunt Washington

If Hungary can... m.youtube.com/shorts/vxZUn...

The Trump Administration should be removed per the US Constitution: Article 3 Section 3 defines his Treason; Amendment 14 forbids seating Insurrectionists; Amendment 25 prescribes removal for inability. Let's GO.

And that's what I like about AOC www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

"Would allow Republicans to lose the popular vote by 2.5% and still retain control of the House..." Well. They're going to lose by a lot more than that--IF we can force a real vote count. And: what repulsive antidemocratic criminal scumbags. www.nytimes.com/2026/05/08/u...

This is the first time I've reposted something with a warning: Maybe don't read this. But do destroy the Epstein Class, which currently holds power in the USA.
