kinda neat watching the media believe that there any realistic timelines/deadlines involved here.... since when have they ever been honored by THIS Administration? The Trump Administration will release whatever information will serve their purpose the most at that moment on a moment by moment basis

Trump is an asshole Trump is an idiot Trump is a bigot Trump is pedophile Trump is a racist Trump is a crook Trump is a fraud Trump is a liar and way too many people voted for him and we have an entire media colossus covering his ass. I'm going to vote for anyone who promises accountability.

12 Angry Men was released #OTD 1957. Director: Sidney Lumet. #Filmsky

sigh.... www.hatchmag.com/articles/tru... I hope that there are lawsuits, I hope they are stopped, I hope that one day I can stop being furious about these people and those that elected them but it won't be THIS day.

So we finally found someone brave enough to step up and say what took place on J6 (Hutchinson) and in return of that bravery, our DOJ dithered long enough to not even bring charges against the sonofabitch and instead, he gets re-elected and then uses the very same DOJ against her. Seriously AFU.

#RandoMovieQuestion okay, this is a question that needs to be asked What do Kindergarten Cop and The Beastmaster have in common? Both title heroes were saved by a ferret. Why didn't Hollywood continue this cinematic trend? Are there other films I missed?

what is really sad is, I'm not this Administration is even up to this level of "competency".... www.youtube.com/watch?v=f6hh...

Now that the hoops is done for the night, catching up on some old school Outer Limits episodes, watching Donald Pleasance in The Man With The Power, sure the practical special effects could be cheesy, but some actual thought provoking writing with so many of these episodes. #OuterLimits

Congrats Arizona Wildcats! great halftime adjustments against a solid Purdue Team with a boatload of solid veteran players. First Final Four in 25 years, so finally that particular weight is gone, well done Cats for exceeding expectations! #FinalFour #NCAA2026

new No Kings Day protest sign suggestions: Too Much Evil to fit on just one sign I was told there would be Winning Let Them Eat Eggs! He's ru(i)nning the country just like his businesses You can't fix stupid, but you can impeach it

Perhaps we need to make this simple... Don't vote for the fascists. All of these so-called principled stances will get your ass into an internment camp. Not exercising your franchise is stupid, more so when you see where we are as a nation right fucking now.

Observationally, if businesses want to get "in" on the next big trend, they might actually try listening to their customers. Speaking as a customer, when I buy a product or a service I want it to perform as advertised. Clear, concise instructions matter. Customer support matters. People matter.

The question isn’t “Why would you do an MST3K/Weird Al mashup?” It’s “Why wouldn’t you do an MST3K/Weird Al mashup?” Very lovely, thank you.

I think we need to understand better how all of this works. In order to expose those who are breaking the law, we need people themselves to break the law to expose them. As those who are in power understand, when you have power, you have the ability to warp those institutions to your needs.

so... is Trump going to declare the United States bankrupt and tell its creditors to "suck ass" and continue the financial bust out of Western Civilization?

wondering if Trump pulls the old, we won the war we're going to retreat now and make sure you don't fight back anymore trick..... I fully believe he intends to try, unless he decides to just say fuck it and nuke everyone... odds 35/65.

Dear Democratic Senators, Please stop voting for Trump Cabinet nominees. None of these crooks, idiots, and fanatics that are being presented should be anywhere near public service. Please just think back to you witnessing perfectly qualified candidates being 86'd by the GOP. times have changed

#mst3k ahh Pod People is on.... I never get tired of the McCloud! riff, obviously way too much Sunday Mystery Movie during my youth....

Since Venezuela won the WBC, what are the chances that Trump invites them to the White House?

I'm sure that the Cubans will greet us as liberators, just like the Iranians and the Venezuelans and the Danes and the Canadians and the Palestinians....

Well, with Spridle (DJT) and Chim-Chim (Hegseth) running things, I feel that Spridle asking Chim-Chim to send in the Marines to secure the Straits of Hormuz has a very Custerlike attack of the light brigade feel to it, makes me wonder if they'll equip the troops with ladders and aldus lamps....

The latest White House thinking on the Strait of Hormuz.

since we have a mob boss as CIC, and our foreign policy resembles more of a bad B movie foreign policy dystopia is there any possibility that if we simply put Hegseth's head in a box and deliver it to the Iranians that we could call the whole thing off?

if the current Administration has any one singular ability, it's that they have no realistic concept of any consequences for their actions. Their ability to not understand that anyone other than themselves has any agency is fucking astounding. I blame Joe Biden for this.

I heard the audio. He said it. Lord. What have y'all done.

so.... in just over a year, we go from helping the hungry around the world with USAID.... to going full Fascist on our streets, blowing up boats in the Atlantic and Pacific, deposing the leadership in two countries and committing war crimes equal to what Russia is doing, without justification.

in a follow up from my previous post, I suspect that the US is getting their asses kicked. I believe that the people that Trump has left behind in our military chain of command have not grokked that conventional engagements are no longer the way to wage war and that drones are much more effective

anyone else noticing the decided lack of video associated with this ongoing war crime against Iran. We get more stuff from Ukraine vs. Russia than we have from propaganda central. Anyone else suspect that our conventional war approach is falling on its ass and the Iranians are "winning"?

As with most Trump stuff, doesn't it really just boil down to money... 80's style. Trump apparently equates oil with money and power and control... hence... attacking Venezuela, then Iran... that makes Putin happy, his oil is worth more. That makes Texas happy, their oil is worth more. money

sitting here drinking and wondering about how the GOP reconciles the reporting that Russia is helping Iran target US forces during Lord Fartquar's Iranian adventure and coupling THAT with reducing sanctions on Russian oil.

some thoughts.... Just trying to parse out possibilities of our not too distant future... the GOP and Trump try to shitcan the 2026 elections, they fail. The GOP gets their ass kicked. Turns out that the country is so fucking pissed, they lose the House and the Senate... convincingly

pretty fucking telling that the State Department tells Americans to leave the countries of the Middle East a weekend after shit hits the fan. Kind of lets you know that the average American matters not a damn as long as Trump gets his war of distraction. We're just all just collateral damage.

I cannot express how safe I feel with the understanding that our foreign policy is being directed by not only a racist pedophile at the head of our country, but also a fascist dictator holding onto power in Israel in order to keep from being convicted himself. all the happy feels indeed.

IMHO The Judicial Bartenders of our nation (SCOTUS) need to be charged/fired/held accountable. After serving this power drunk to the point where he tried to stage a takeover of the bar, these irresponsible assholes kept serving him and gave him the keys. Not as if they couldn't see what was coming.

Just your regularly scheduled share of this masterpiece by @tomgauld.bsky.social

so to sum up.... countries that interfered in the 2020 election, a conspiracy to prevent Trump from a second consecutive term and achieving a new American era are... Italy Venezuela China Iran most assuredly, NOT Russia... waiting for accusations against Canada, Cuba, France and Fiji to drop soon

my thoughts are with the Iranian people that were trying to oust their government from theocratic control to now being bombed by Fascists that care not a good goddamn about them. For our armed forces, under control by like minded officers executing orders of a criminal, may you steer clear of harm.

#Pirate's_Playlist I remember the first time I heard this on HBO Video Jukebox - been hooked ever since Los Lobos - Let's Say Goodnight www.youtube.com/watch?v=mIQn...

#Pirate's_Playlist before these took the ballad way out, they used to rock out.... honest! Foreigner - Head Knocker www.youtube.com/watch?v=bJAl...

#Pirate's_Playlist Time for a change of pace, just because it's old, doesn't mean that it's any less a musical triumph and when these guys broke thru with this, we all knew these guys would keep us guessing Queen - Killer Queen www.youtube.com/watch?v=cBMX...

#Pirate's_Playlist since we're staying kinda old timey, might as well trot out another banging cover.... The Inmates - The Walk www.youtube.com/watch?v=l43i...

#Pirate's_Playlist sometimes you forget that you know stuff and it just takes coming across it again..... Dr. Feelgood - She Does It Right www.youtube.com/watch?v=oDFs...

#Pirate's_Playlist I understand that Dave is unwell, but so he's in my thoughts and usually on my playlist somewhere.... so enjoy Rock and Roll done the old fashioned way... Dave Edmunds - Get It www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Opi...

#Pirate's_Playlist another story song, but not the usual story that gets a song.... Red Rider - White Hot www.youtube.com/watch?v=_wyW...

#Pirate's_Playlist tonights musical selections will likely be a tad eclectic, so perhaps we'll introduce you to something new along the way.... Bruce Cockburn - Wondering Where The Lions Are? www.youtube.com/watch?v=L6Lp...

#Pirate's_Playlist It's been a while, so perhaps its time to bust out a few old bangers for some of you that need it, so lets get started with... The Plimsouls - Now www.youtube.com/watch?v=2ERS...

here's to hoping that the Trump Administration members get the same equal justice that they've provided to those that they have assaulted and detained. If that means leaving them out in the wilderness of winter without appropriate clothing or means of communication, I'm alright with that.

Democrats create good times, good times create Republicans. Republicans create bad times, bad times create Democrats. and thus the wheel turns...
