Noem: "Sir, I've never used the word schlong."

Why should he try? What a stupid question.

KLOBUCHAR: Are you aware agents bashed in the door of a citizen?

NOEM: I can't speak to specifics

K: Do you believe he was involved in fraud? Are you aware he's son of a beloved nurse that treated our soldiers in Vietnam? Did they have a judicial warrant? Are you aware he tried to show his ID?

Ossoff: "You're seeing what I'm seeing, right? The president posting about the Obamas like a Klansman."

1. It was not an accident.
2. It was not a staffer.
3. While the president may have dementia his racism is not due to dementia.
4. He isn’t sorry. He means every racist thought he shares.
5. His base agrees with him.
6. He will do it again.
7. No one in power will hold him accountable.

Members of Congress (who'll rail about government spending the second a Democrat is in office): "How much money do we have to toss at these 3x Trump-voting farmers to get this story off the front page?"

ICE’s excuse for wearing masks has never actually manifested There have been incidents of harassment and threats. But there are no apparent incidents in which identified ICE officers have been assaulted off-duty.

Finally got around to a bit of research I'd been meaning to explore, and: There is no documented instance of an ICE officer being identified and assaulted while off duty because he wasn't masked. www.pbump.net/o/ices-excus...

CBS News names 19 new contributors CBS News has significantly expanded its knowledge base and on-air presence with the addition of 19 new contributors who cover the worlds of politics, national security, health, happiness, arts, food, ...

One thing I do enjoy about this list is the down home Harvard professors, and the everyday Stanford fellows fulfilling Tony Dokoupil's promise to CBS viewers and readers:

"We put too much weight in the analysis of academics or elites, and not enough on you." www.cbsnews.com/news/cbs-new...

Bondi’s ‘blackmail’ letter to Minnesota deepens concerns over DOJ’s voter roll motives, federal judge says The judge reiterated the DOJ's case against Oregon will be dismissed entirely.

🚨BREAKING: A federal judge in Oregon said Attorney General Pam Bondi’s recent letter to Minnesota reinforced unease about how the Justice Department is wielding its authority in its nationwide push for state voter rolls, suggesting the administration’s campaign may be driven by improper motives.

Crockett: "You only love enforcement when they're going after Black, brown, immigrants, that kind of folk. But on January 6, you didn't care about law enforcement."

You can look forward to a @nytimes.com headline along the lines of: Defiant Trump Challenges Europe

US citizen says ICE removed him from his Minnesota home in his underwear after warrantless search Federal immigration agents have detained a U.S. citizen in Minnesota at gunpoint without a warrant. That's according to ChongLy “Scott” Thao, who says agents forced open his door, entered with guns drawn and led him outside in his underwear in freezing conditions.

Federal immigration agents forced open a door and detained a U.S. citizen in his Minnesota home at gunpoint without a warrant, then led him out onto the streets in his underwear in subfreezing conditions, according to his family and videos reviewed by The Associated Press.

Democrat Rep, Becca Balint, the first openly LGBT Rep for VT calls herself "a scrappy dyke who won't be intimidated by ICE." 🙌🏻 😬

And then asks the witness for official clarification on how legal observers can lawfully resist, document, & observe ICE. 🚨

Sunday, at least 7 ICE agents stormed a house and took an elderly man out into the freezing cold, wearing only his underwear and a blanket.

He was a member of the Hmong community, which came to the area from Laos in the 1970s after siding with the US in the Vietnam War.

@wsj.com being cute cuz they know MAGA don't know what "afflatus" means and they ain't lookin' it up.

But will it be "destroyed" enough to stop residents from voting for a party that just feeds them myths about being big tough, self-reliant cowboys? Nope.

I genuinely don't understood how America took the emoluments clause -- the common-sense bar on a president using his powers to line his own pockets, a law children can understand -- and just said, nah, that doesn't apply for our Very Special Boy.

We live in the Age of The Coward.

ICE keeps saying the people protesting it are being paid without any evidence, but we have receipts showing that the people *defending* ICE are absolutely being paid.

And yet we only hear lies about the former on cable news.

White supremacist talking points.

No dog whistles.

Kristi Noem Secretly Took a Cut of Political Donations A dark money group paid $80,000 to Noem’s personal company when she was governor of South Dakota. She did not include this income on her federal disclosure forms, a likely violation of ethics requirem...

Kristi Noem, while governor of South Dakota, supplemented her roughly $130,000 salary by secretly accepting $80,000 donated to a political nonprofit she was affiliated with, records show.

She never disclosed this income on federal ethics forms.

Legend. Gave so much to so many. That'll never die.

Remember, when Vance was caught spewing racist lies that Haitian immigrants were eating people's pets, he admitted that "if I have to create stories so that the American media actually pays attention to the suffering of the American people, then that's what I'm going to do."

Proudly, openly a liar.

My people, I know you can't afford hamburger, but I bring you the gift of racism!

Communication via the written word has always existed in a lose/lose bind: Pre-AI, because they didn't respect it, every dipshit thought they could do it. With AI, many of these same folks praise AI for freeing them from having to "write," so they can get back to being dipshits.

So ironic that in this supposed age of He-Man toughguyness, the so-called men in that room cower like gutless cowards at the hateful rants of a blathering old man. And then go home to wives and daughters...

Everyone is downplaying that Mar-A-Lago is a vector in the Epstein pipeline so it’s good to point this out

The young men of America should get together and write (lol...they'd have ChatGPT do it) a thank you note to their brocasting heroes for helping elect the dude who tanked their prospects.

America First? Some Trump Supporters Worry That’s No Longer the Case.

Gotta love when @nytimes.com tip-toes up to the line of saying something that's been obvious for months and then uses the most anodyne language possible. www.nytimes.com/2025/11/14/u...
