I always imagined the Master Race to be buff and have, like, actual chins and stuff...

Well, Don, your brilliant plan to move the Olympics has a tiny flaw: NO ONE ELSE WANTS IT. Seriously. The reason that Paris and L.A. were picked to hold the Games at all is because, again, NOT A SINGLE OTHER CITY WANTED THEM. So, good luck dumping that wildly expensive circus on Topeka, champ!

We're doomed, aren't we?

We're repealing the 13th Amendment, aren't we?

And if they don't?

We're going to war with Norway, aren't we?

My great-uncle was antifa, and it is weird to think that if he were still alive, he might get arrested for the crime of fighting Nazis. Honestly, how long before these people start to publicly rehabilitate Hitler?

They expect a glorious uprising, that they will somehow lead even though they've done no organizing and are unknown to the people they expect to follow them. Typical 101st Fightin' Keyboard Division behavior...

...which can be federalized at the stroke of a pen. Trump has already done this: Newsom has no control over his own National Guard. If you are suggesting that the NG can be persuaded to disobey Trump, then call up Newsom and Pritzker and tell them The Magick Words.

Welp, it looks like the moment is arriving when the generals will have to take a side...

The only problem for the GOP here is the timing: doing this *now* is bad, but *after* the midterms? Have at it!

To be fair, Normand did seem to inspire that level of devotion in real life...

I always believed that the MAGA goal was to empty out the cities and force us all to live as subsistence farmers--well, those of us who can afford a little land, anyway. Everyone else? Serfdom. The Broligarchy's vision for technofeudalism continues to march on...

So, office pool on which city gets chosen for bombing practice?

Goodness, If Dick Durbin and Chuck Schumer are "the Radical Left," then what does that make me?

Ehh, Lunchly just needs to make a nice contribution to Trump's library fund and wait for the government to announce that lead in food is fine, actually.

Yes, yes, I'm sure that Macron--who lives in an actual Rococo palace--is deeply impressed with the quality of the gold spray paint on display in the Oval Office...

Or as the NYT will put it, "troubling challenge to political norms." Our legacy press is such trash...

What are the odds that belonging to TPUSA will be a requirement for academic awards and scholarships?

Well, if the owners agree to give Trump 10% of their company, there will be no problem getting FDA approval!

In the context of Europe, France and Britain also have nukes. And given how dedicated Putin is to saber-rattling, how long before, say, the Nordics start to get nuke-curious?
