“LET THEM TAKE OUT LOS ANGELES”: HE OFFERED UP TWO AMERICAN CITIES AND THE FUCKWITS CHEERED

Congrats on your spotlight moment, Nebraska MAGAts. @ifloz.bsky.social writes: “For the red-cap faithful, politics stopped being about anything years ago. It is sideshow alley, with a villain to boo and a ringmaster who’ll say the filthy thing out loud so they can feel naughty for clapping.”

A president priced five million of his own citizens at 24 cents a gallon, and a hall full of red caps clapped like he’d shouted the bar.

Still one of my favorite memes of all time.

Great reading from @ifloz.bsky.social: “‘America will never be socialist,’ says the poster. Mate, America has been running socialism for ninety years. It has simply never been run for 𝘺𝘰𝘶, and the c_nt on the poster would like to keep it that way.”

ICE Has Been Dumping Protester Photos Into a Palantir Database

@regret.bsky.social and @dmehro.bsky.social write: “A new court filing alleges that #DHS built up dossiers on #ICE observers—including their photos, license plate numbers, and other information—and stored them in a system called the Investigative Case Management database, built by #Palantir.”

DHS agents not only tracked and intimidated people observing ICE activity in Maine, but stored information about them in a Palantir-built database, newly unsealed court filings say.

He’s off to a heck of a start. 😆

Excerpted quote from Donald Trump’s rambling rally appearance on 10/1/26:

“These unbelievable machines led by the most incredible pilots in the world, they unloaded every single bomb, went right down airships into this drug factories really, that's what they were doing, they were nuclear and drug. They were doing drugs, but they were doing the nuclear, but these drug factories, nuclear factories were hit so hard."

- Donald Trump, 10/1/26

4/4 🧵 “Because he’s the type of man who would sell his family into slavery if that’s what it took to get elected. And that he would use said slavery as a sob story to get himself re-elected.” – Conservative columnist Bret Stephens (of all people), on Ted Cruz, September 2018

3/4 🧵 “Because ‘New York values.’ Because his fellow politicians detest him, and that’s just among Republicans. Because he never got over being the smartest kid in 8th grade. Because he’s conniving enough to try to put one over you, but not perceptive enough to realize you see right through him…

2/4 🧵 “Because I see him as the spiritual love child of the 1980s televangelist Jimmy Swaggart and Jack Nicholson’s character in ‘The Shining.’ Because his ethics are purely situational. Because he makes Donald Trump look like a human being by comparison…

“He’s like a serpent covered in Vaseline. Because he treats the American people like two-bit suckers in 10-gallon hats. Because he sucks up to the guy who insulted his wife — by retweet, no less. Because of his phony piety and even phonier principles… 1/4 🧵

My initial guess was a Foley catheter drainage bag, but those distinct outlines on his calves sure do look like leg braces. That odd hump on his hip is hard to miss, too. Never mind the high-heeled shoes.

David Flippo blamed staff for exaggerating his military record. His own hat tells a different story.

The schmuck actually thought he’d get away with it, too. “David Flippo’s campaign falsely claimed on multiple occasions that the Nevada Republican earned a Bronze Star with valor… Flippo’s response was to blame anonymous staffers who he claimed had ‘accidentally conflated’ two different awards…”

motherjones.com

The Nevada Republican sported V-shaped emblems that signify a valor award next to a Bronze Star. Flippo never received a Bronze Star for valor.

Happy 91st birthday to the magnificent Dame Julie Andrews! 🎉

Her long, dark hair is tied back into a ponytail which is draped over the front of her left shoulder. Her right arm is resting against the cushion of the sofa behind her, and she's wearing a thin, gold watch on her wrist.

This Ogles lowlife apparently fancies himself as some kind of Christian Crusader. Yet in 55 years, he’s never served anyone but himself. www.joemygod.com/2026/03/ogle...

News story headline: “Republican lawmaker shares AI video of himself and Trump officials as Crusaders.”

Below the headline is an AI-generated image of disgraced Tennessee Representative Andy Oglez, dressed in a suit of Christian Crusader’s armor, standing beside Pete Hegseth and Marco Rubio in front of the U.S. Capitol Building. The image was created by Ogles himself and publicly posted to Twitter in March of 2026.

Tennesseans owe investigative reporter @philinvestigates.com a huge debt of gratitude for exposing Andy Ogles as a self-serving, serial-lying grifter. I’ve little doubt that Ogles had his sights set on higher office before Phil exposed him.

011

Fun fact: Ogles’ reputation for habitually lying about his education, his career, and his personal accomplishments earned him the nickname “The George Santos of the South” among his congressional colleagues.

Solid essay. And you could easily replace the words “Donald Trump” with the words “Republican Party” and it would still be completely accurate. Dumbest, most destructive cult in American history, hands down.

“The Godfather of Soul” James Brown (1933 – 2006) performing live for U.S. troops during his USO tour in Vietnam, June 1968 Gripping piece from white Vietnam veteran Tom Miller Juvik (2018): historynet.com/james-brown-...

Black and white stage photo of the legendary James Brown (1933 – 2006) performing live for U.S. troops during his USO tour in Vietnam, June 1968

Known as the "Godfather of Soul" and "the hardest-working man in show business," Brown traveled to South Vietnam with a stripped-down version of his band to support the troops. He performed multiple high-energy concerts a day under grueling, 120°F tropical heat conditions at locations including Long Binh ("The Dirt Bowl") and Tan Son Nhut Air Base amid active combat zones, sniper warnings, and flight dangers.

Brown was one of the first major Black artists to tour Vietnam for the troops, going at his own expense to support minority service members who made up a large portion of the frontline forces.

Trump’s “Big, Beautiful” Bill Is About to Screw With States’ Budgets

“The Republican law already ended SNAP eligibility for certain lawful immigrants—a provision the CBO estimates would result in an average of 90,000 people losing SNAP access each month. On October 1, eligibility for Medicaid and the Children’s Health Insurance Program will be similarly restricted.”

Already burdened with the need to fulfill strict requirements mandated by the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, state governments all across the country are about to face even higher costs.

The War Crimes That the Military Buried

You know how accused war criminals almost always use the “just following orders” defense to justify their actions? I think we need to talk more about the men 𝘨𝘪𝘷𝘪𝘯𝘨 the orders. www.newyorker.com/podcast/in-t...

The largest known database of possible American war crimes committed in Iraq and Afghanistan shows that the military-justice system rarely punishes perpetrators.

I have to believe he uses one of those tiny, low-watt appliance lightbulbs in his makeup mirror. What’s really amazing is that his handlers still allow him to go out in public looking like that.
