Kudos to Chris Capper Liebenthal at Crooks and Liars for the best new nickname for Kristie Noem. “Barbie Fife“

It's 2015. President Barack Obama has accepted a "sky palace" jumbo jet from the Qatari government, which he'll own after he leaves office. "Everybody relax," he says in an interview with the New York Times. Everyone does. The networks then televise the military parade in his honor on his birthday.

I don't know what anyone else is doing on Thursday, but I intend to be near the corner of Lake & Barstow, in front of the Federal Bldg. from about 2p.m. til 4 p.m. or later. Please join me, and hopefully a few friends. Our system of government and life are on the line. This needs to stop. NOW!!

To the fragile old white men that are trying to keep their power from being snatched up by "DEI" A reckoning is coming... You are a dying breed in US politics, and the whole world sees it. 🖕🏼

Trump admin claims: Thursday: Abrego Garcia is a top MS-13 terrorist Friday: Abrego Garcia killed JFK Saturday: Abrego Garcia is the head of ISIS Sunday: Abrego Garcia piloted all 3 planes on 9/11 Monday: Abrego Garcia ran the Fyre Festival Tuesday: Abrego Garcia beat Riley Gaines at a swim meet

With all the grim shit going on, it’s nice to know that you can count on a check from George Soros. If the bank won’t cash it, say, “Damn liberals don’t get anything right,” then run like hell! Print them out for your next gathering, and watch people‘s eyes light up. 😎

A tricky thing about modern society is that no one has any idea when they don’t die. Like, the number of lives saved by controlling air pollution in America is probably over 200,000 per year, but the number of people who think their life was saved by controlling air pollution is zero.

Teachers, Teamsters, AFSCME (add your own favorites here) and we kick ass. We make their wealth hurt, instead of those fuckers hurting us. Change isn’t happening without a fight.

You know what the size of the protests means? We can pull off a general strike! Take any small, but significant, percentage of people who turned out today - strike and the economy shuts down.

I got my first car in 1973 just in time for the Saudi’s to cut off oil supply and the price of a gas doubled. I was in college in 1979 and they did it again. Just a few years ago the Saudi’s butchered a journalist and hauled his body parts out in bags. Today Trump is golfing with them.

Just asked my daughter, who spent 27 months in Baghdad with the 303 Military Intelligence Battalion the following : Did you ever accidentally text intel to a reporter? Just asking. If the answer is “no” you should be SecDef.

This suit fits him perfectly.

Drunken Van Orden (wi-3) Please send a list of the 7% of voters in the 3rd CD who are in favor of cutting Medicaid. Polling says 7% of Americans want Medicaid cut, and it would kill my son. I think I have a right to know who agrees with killing my son besides my elected representative.

Chippewa Valley man flies flag upside down to raise awareness over Trump administration Remember 9-11 when flags were put on everything? We should do it again, only this time upside down. It’s time for a distress signal.

Had a lot of company today, everything’s pretty overwhelming, Crazy times, huh? 3 years ago I was predicting that the oligarchs would kill Putin and now he’s in the Oval Office.

A thought. What do billionaires and transgender athletes have in common? It’s the two things that fascists care the most about. And there’s more billionaires than there are transgender athletes.😎

I genuinely don't think I can handle the next four years of New York Times headlines. Kill me now.

Got a message from the subscription coffee”Four Sigmatic” with the usual seasonal plea to buy more. Joe Rogan shows up at the top of the page, and I gag. I like the coffee, but I have other choices, locally roasted, and not promoting ignorance & fascism. Unsubscribing felt great.

This is the front page story in my local paper. Our Dipshit nominee for secretary of war has been known to say women should not be in Frontline positions. How is somebody who trains to fly a homicide bomber not in a Frontline position? Maybe lieutenant commander Lilly Montana has a penis.
