Trump Post on Truthy Social, clarifying his policy on undocumented immigrants:

"When I said that I would go after "the worst of the worst", I clearly meant that I would HIRE "the worst of the worst" to terrorize all Americans. Mission accomplished ! Thank you for your attention to this matter."

I wasn't alive or living in Germany in the 1930s, but I have this strong feeling that I was.

Every time I hear someone from the Trump Regime say something - including Herr Trump himself - it's "deja vu all over again". Some of the Trumpists even LOOK like Nazi officers ...

"Guerilla War: A type of irregular conflict where small, mobile groups use hit-and-run tactics, ambushes, sabotage, and raids to harass and disrupt a larger, conventional military force."

"anomie" — the perception of social breakdown, normlessness, and institutional failure—is a major, driving factor behind increased public support for authoritarian governments and leaders.

For those who keep asking "WTF is wrong with Democratic leadership?!", the answer is simple: Democrats don't HAVE a leader. It's "management by committee".

Why don't Dems have a leader? Because of a ridiculous, antiquated process for choosing a leader.

No leader means no organized opposition.

If you don't think Trump learned anything from the 5 Families of NYC:

* Trump to Greenland: "We can do this the easy way, or the hard way."

* Trump to Powell: "Nice little job you have there. Be a shame if something happened to it."

No doubt about it - Don Trumpolini is an aspiring mob boss.

While the Trump Regime works hard to rewrite the history of the Jan.6 failed insurrection, NPR has published an amazing archive of the facts - who did what, when and how. No wonder Trump is trying to destroy public media.

"Stupid people don't understand blinking. They think that blinking means closing & opening your eyes for a fraction of a second. Wrong! Fake News! I frequently close my eyes and leave them closed for an hour or 2 - sometimes, 7 or 8 hours! That is not "sleeping", it's "blinking"." - President DJT.

I'm proud to announce that I have finally graduated and can now use the official designation "LLs" after my name (Lunatic Liberal Scum). I was previously an RLs (Radical Left Scum), but I studied hard and persevered to achieve the highest level.

I'm not religious. I don't subscribe to any faith. So why is it that I find myself pleading, every damn day, "Lord, please save me from the uninformed, unthinking and idiotic people of the world!!" ?

Ottawa is not Washington. Alberta is not Russia. And BC is not Ukraine.

So Ottawa and Alberta can stop making "side deals" about what to do with BC's coastal waters, right-damn-now. BC will decide, nobody else, so back off.

I wonder how many people realize ... if the Democratic Party had a presidential candidate in place TODAY, every insane comment by the incumbent president would be challenged by a sane alternative? And the alternative would be covered extensively.

Wake the hell up and put a challenger in place. NOW.

Nope. There is no political taint on AP, NPR or PBS for example.

Words from NPR after the Trump-instigated cut to federal funding for public media: "My colleagues and I showed up for work in the middle of the night. We covered OUR CRITICS AS WELL AS OUR CHEERLEADERS. In other words, WE DID THE NEWS THE SAME WAY WE HAVE FOR DECADES".

Critics should be ashamed.

I don't know why this is so often forgotten or buried, but the Trump Family Fortune began with Trump's grandfather. "Friedrich" operated a brothel in the Yukon territory of Canada, selling sex and booze to gold prospectors.

When I suggest that Dems need to work hard on messaging that will resonate not only with devout liberals, but on those who identify as Independent or are clearly "Trump Hesitant", many object. Those objectors need to pay more attention to trends:

I am officially announcing my complete disinterest in the Epstein Files. No, they won't bring Trump down. They won't bring anybody down. If you think they will bring anybody down, you should get out from under that rock you've been hiding under, take a shower and find something useful to do.

If The Left is going to position itself as the credible, trusted alternative to The Right, then it's critical to get all the facts straight before attacking. But so many people want to shoot first and aim later. It's counter-productive, self-defeating and may result in injury.

Best Line Heard on Canada Day 2025:

Question: "What is the Canadian equivalent of the famous American expression, "As American as apple pie."

Answer: "As Canadian as possible, under the circumstances."

Hilarious. 😂
