I just saw someone comment: "Kevin Sorbo is the Dean Cain of Rob Schneiders" and I've never read something that tracked harder about a miserable, bitter MAGA celebrity.

Whistleblower claims USPS plan for Trump's mail voting order could 'derail' midterms
A whistleblower says the U.S. Postal Service is rushing out an online system for President Trump's push to restrict mail voting that could "derail" the midterm election if courts allow it to proceed.

It appears MAGA is upset with Jelly Roll after he made some jokes at Trump's expense. So perhaps it's time to update the list(s) of what triggers who. *********************** WHAT TRIGGERS "THE LIBS" *********************** Social injustice Unfair elections Political corruption 1/6

Now that the orange clown has "renamed" Lake Ontario... I hope to hell that tomorrow the Canada PM announces they are renaming "Lake Superior" to "Lake Canada." We wanna watch you-know-who's wig fly off in spray-tanned tirade.

Borrowed from a friend: "Live your life in a way such that the world both mourns you and celebrates you when you pass, in a way that makes people reflect on their own legacies and makes them ask "Am I bringing enough love and kindness into the world?" #dollyparton #timcurry

Insane how thoroughly people have been gaslit into thinking spending money on food, housing & healthcare for the poorest among us is evil... But billions flowing into the pockets of warmongers & CEOs is apparently just fine. Like, dudes... I KNOW we read the same fucking Bible growing up.

Tom Flynn @tomlasusa.bsky.social · 03/08/2026
Big surprise -- Cornyn and Tillis now say they will support Blanche's confirmation now that the "anti-weaponization fund is dead." And I'm sure they will be just "simply shocked" when Trump resurrects it once Blanche gets into office. They're all terrible.

Tom Flynn @tomlasusa.bsky.social · 03/08/2026
Blanche's dismissal of the "anti-weaponization" fund is nothing but theatrics in order to get confirmed. There is NOTHING stopping Trump from resurrecting in another form once Blanche gets in. Cornyn and Tillis need to keep blocking! (I mean, they won't...but we can dream).

Fauci's diary shows that he provided Stephen Miller & his pregnant wife Katie medical advice multiple times when they both got COVID. Clearly he was trustworthy enough to call when they needed help. But now that attacking him has become a loyalty test for the base, they want his head on a platter.

So based on what I recall of the Blade Runner Universe & the trailer for the upcoming series Blade Runner 2099 -- humans treated a species we (created and) enslaved like shit, and are now dealing with the fallout of that. I hope the replicants kick our asses.

If Darlene Graham Nordone had experience actually serving in elected office (a town board, city council, county legislature) then maybe her appointment to replace her brother Lindsey would make sense. But working on his election campaigns isn't the same as being qualified to hold elected office.

Of course Trump is going to claim foreign interference in the 2020 election: he needs to sow seeds of doubt for the midterms. BUT it's also about Trump's ego, his view that he's always right/ a winner & his reputation for never backing down. Mentally & emotionally, he simply can't let this go.

No one should be throwing Molotov cocktails at churches. ALSO... No one should be scrawling swastikas on temples. Or shooting up mosques. Or attacking anyone for their beliefs - or non-belief. But if you demand accountability in one case & laugh off the others, you're showing your true colors.

POTUS is back on the "we should leave NATO" bandwagon, apparently frustrated that many NATO allies declined to join the war against Iran. But of course, that's not how NATO works. Article 5 states clearly that if a member country is attacked, the others come to its aid. 1/5

I think what will always upset me the most about MAGA will be the "hall pass for Trump" mentality. Excusing him for blatant lies, outrageous claims, atrocious behavior, and so on, simply because he's their guy. And knowing full well if it were anyone else as POTUS, they'd be screaming for blood.
