Don’t worry about the outfall from Commander Bonespurs’ illegal war of choice. He’s directing a new world order for peace and prosperity via TruthSocial posts between rounds of golf. To paraphrase Teddy Roosevelt, “tweet loudly and use BIG CAPITAL LETTERS” 🤯
Stock market starting to look like Pam Bondi might have to close her burn book stop her sycophantic fawning and actually answer some questions about the Epstein files. #DeptOfInjustice
Wag The Dog indeed.
So pleased in the restraint, wisdom and following of Constitutional protocol that’s been shown in getting Congressional authorization for a cautious and measured military response to the strike our nation suffered from Iran. Oh wait…none of that happened. 🤯🤬
I never saw Rev. Jackson speak, although I recall he did come to my hometown during his run in ‘88. I do recall seeing him during the march through the fields near Delano on the occasion of Cesar Chavez’s funeral procession in 1993, walking alongside Jerry Brown.

In the contest to suck up to Donald Trump, there are no winners, only losers. This is a great example.
Thank you to The Boss for capturing these dark moments as we grieve for a nation reeling from lawlessness and disorder being orchestrated from the White House and its cabinets.

But hey, in the end, Frankie gets to cherry pick stats that show lower phone wait times and boast about this while everything else goes to hell and the public calling in can’t get appointments because there’s fewer people to staff field office visits & claims because they’re all answering the 800#.

Dear America, We’d Like to Speak to the Manager www.nytimes.com/2026/01/16/o...
Let’s be clear: these cuts will lead directly to more people without homes, more people committing suicide, and more people crowding jails & prisons that are not well positioned for mental health care. And these fascists just don’t give a shit one way or another.

I reflect on this death and the story of this once celebrated cartoonist who I’d consider had held temperate, moderate, even progressive viewpoints—to someone who fell in with the MAGA crowd & conspiracies & racist offensiveness. Like other folks we know who’ve immersed themselves in that bubble.
Men who look upon themselves born to reign, and others to obey, soon grow insolent; selected from the rest of mankind their minds are early poisoned by importance; and the world they act in differs so materially from the world at large, that they have but little opportunity of knowing its true interests, and when they succeed to the government are frequently the most ignorant and unfit of any throughout the dominions.

It would seem unlikely or perhaps immature, but I’d have to say that the opportunity to see The Ramones play live twice in my early twenties (with a backstage pass & chance to meet some of the band the first time) were life changing experiences. Yup, that happened. youtu.be/w-5tS8Y9EUc?...
@chrislhayes.bsky.social: “A 37-year-old American citizen, the mother of a young child is dead tonight. She was shot in the face by an agent of the federal government, and that government has spent the day telling despicable lies about her.”
Sometimes I wish I could believe in hell so I could be at peace with some of the tyrants and thugs and warmongers and corporate criminals spending a deserved eternity there.
Up until now, it had been fair to state the 2003 unilateral invasion of Iraq based on faked “intelligence” about WMDs was my country’s dumbest, most dishonest, most unnecessary act of military aggression & occupation of another country during my lifetime. Until now. Happy new year. #FIFAPeacePrize
Here's J.D. Vance's Jan. 31st, 2023, op/ed in the Wall Street Journal, aging like fine vinegar. J.D. was already in full "look at me!" kiss ass mode by this point, barely a month after he was sworn in as the junior U.S. senator from Ohio and 18 months before he was selected as Trump's running mate.
They’d rather have cows destroying our lands and sending tons of shit into our waterways and belching/farting methane gas—and meat laden with antibiotics, pesticides, and fecal contamination—Lab-cultured meat solves these problems. Of course humans have a total choice to not consume any meat!
I know most people are being turned off by any kind of politics in the current atmosphere of intimidation and lawless faux patriotism, but citizens need to be aware of what Jack Smith said in his testimony before Congress in defense of his case and public servants.

So stupid. Other federal agencies were already informed last Thursday they’d be having Wednesday and Friday as paid holidays.

Why do I have to feel sad for my country, that we are so embarrassed by his constant malignant narcissistic ranting and insulting? This is beneath the office he so unfortunately occupies. No other president, no matter how disagreeable in policy, has behaved like this. This hurts us as a nation.
At exactly which point is the sickening level of narcissism and dementia-tinged stream of insults and absolute nonsense even too much for the red-hat fanboys and fangirls-who are also not immune to the costs of his tariffs & economic chaos?! Like, is there a line somewhere that’s yet to be crossed?
We do have a choice. Eliminate meat from our diets; at the very least don’t eat cows.

We’ve known the primary cause for decades. Seems like too many humans would rather eat cows than have a livable planet for future generations.
