Just looking at Vance’s hideous face was enough to push him over the edge.

“We couldn’t have a trial for every individual that I want to kill. There are literally millions of them.”

My name is Ye and I’m a Yaddict.

Same story across the world. Shin Bet chief says Netanyahu wanted him to commit to him personally rather than the Supreme Court. Laws not men is what every civic democrat needs to be fighting for. www.timesofisrael.com/bar-says-net...

Why was Noem carrying that much cash? You know, betting on dog fights can get expensive.

Is Henry Blodget sentient?

Remember that the following GOP Senators who are up for re-election next year were each the deciding vote to confirm Pete Hegseth: Thom Tillis Joni Ernst Dan Sullivan Ashley Moody Jon Husted John Cornyn They KNEW was unqualified for Defense Secretary and they put our troops in danger anyway.

Can you get the death penalty for stealing a prominent fascist’s purse? Asking for a friend.

There’s always some asshole who’s like, “Did you know that Stalin was actually a good guy?” and then there are people who pointlessly argue with the asshole and provide the attention they desperately crave, all to no conceivable point, since they could have saved time by just blocking right away.

Prince Rebus has a job at ABC and he’s a disgusting pig who should be manning the dunking chair at a shitkicker carnival.

A junkie at HHS, a drunk at Defense, a rape addict as president, a billionaire executive with a frontal lobe made of burnt ketamine. Fascists don’t do rehab.

Raskin: There are some people who are so rich and equip themselves with battalions of lawyers that they feel that the law doesn't apply to them, they can get away with anything. That's a major threat to the rule of law.

The correct grammar is “He HAS risen.”

Next on Tucker, fellow inmate Ed Snowden talks about some of his favorite albums.

I guess I want Hegseth to resign, but I’m also afraid of when Joe Arpaio is appointed to replace him.

I didn’t know that incumbents having primary opponents was a betrayal of sacred principle. This is a democratic rule that no one bothered to mention to me.

“Happy Easter to everyone except the many enemies of truth that are poisoning our blood and will be killed or sent to torture camps soon.” Media: “What a crazy guy!”

“Everyone we encounter is an enemy,” a Golani Brigade lieutenant colonel told his troops on video ahead of the current Gaza operation. “If a figure is identified, we open fire, eliminate, and move forward. Don’t get confused about that.” About as clear as it gets.

Omg. This makes so much sense.

NYT dug up another Hegseth scandal. Despite everything, there are still journalists working there.

I knew I made this for a reason

The seating arrangements at the French National Assembly in 1789 have long outlived their metaphorical effectiveness. We need something to replace “left” and “right.” Perhaps “forwards” and “backwards.” It’s pretty clear who the “backwards” are, right?

Reporters Without Borders says Belarus is Europe’s leading jailer of journalists. At least 40 are serving long prison sentences apnews.com/article/bela...

For any newcomers to politics, this is also a good indicator of what the fascist foot soldiers are like, and probably most of the leaders.

The entire world economy depends on one 80 year old dumbass experiencing self awareness for the first time in his life

Would be nice if Democrats sponsored a bill making it a crime for ICE agents to wear ski masks

Kind Hearts and Coronets (1949) A man decides to murder the eight people ahead of him in the line of succession for a dukedom. The brilliant gimmick is that all eight are played by Alec Guinness. Dennis Price excels as the absurdly urbane killer. As dry and witty a film as one could wish for.

Evil thinks of itself as good. Whenever people assert their wills, many different definitions of "good" are involved. Very few are willing to question their own idea of goodness. Even the nihilists and people with low self-esteem have a secret definition that operates in their case.

Mic drop

No Sandymount tram.

How much do we need a truly progressive major political party and yet progressive people of the electorate have been written off. They are of no interest to the major parties who have decided regression is where it’s at and in doing so lay out a red carpet for fascism
