Karoline Leavitt joined Fox because lying comes so natural to her, she wears a cross around her neck, she’s blonde and married to a billionaire. The poster girl for White Christian Nationalism. She’s already popular with conservatives who admired her deception skills at the White House.

Americans are relearning the lesson we learned during the Gilded Age of the late 1890s, when robber barons ran the government and the economy for their own benefit: Oligarchy is incompatible with the common good. I'm hopeful we'll respond with a new progressive movement.

1) Power will find a way to dominate-- and find any reason to justify itself--- including claims that women are weaker, or that women are powerful and must be controlled. 2) What keeps most women confined isn't discussing biological differences. It's the threat of male violence and poverty.

Norway produces more oil than Venezuela. And yet, between January and August 2026, electric vehicles made up 97.8 percent of all new cars sold in that country. Moving to EVs is often based on intelligence, not need. Which is why it lags in the notoriously short-sighted and stupid United States.

Preznit Fuckwit is a low-wattage moron who is fundamentally incapable of processing information — and yesterday, he just made one rake-steppingly bone-headed decision after another. thank you for your attention to today's post, in which I bring the receipts. link is here: bit.ly/4Az3oaz
Donny Convict truly is the worst of us.

he’s a burst trash bag of personality defects. can you think of something that isn’t wrong with him? there’s the preening vanity. imagine looking in the mirror, seeing that desiccated piss-mop perched atop your head, and going, ‘oh yeah, I’m really rocking it today.’

then there’s the narcissistic grandiosity, and the overwhelming stupidity.

he’s got fascist tendencies. he’s incapable of ever telling the truth, or admitting mistakes. he’s a cheater. he’s lazy and impulsive, with the attention span of a coked-up squirrel. he’s racist, transphobic, and misogynistic.

he’s delusional, imagining that he’s entitled to all the power, all the money, and all the attention.

but even given all that, never forget that above everything, he’s a complete fucking moron.
