Facebook in their infinite wisdom has permanently disabled my new account that I made after I was hacked. They kept my old hacked account up and my hacker is still selling fake cars. Go figure. Goodbye FB and Insta! F*ck Zuck!

The Washington Post just posted a headline saying tRump deserves the Nobel Peace Prize. What a joke and they’re still using ‘democracy dies in darkness’ as their motto. Their motto needs to be ‘Democracy dies when Bezos buys the paper and serves it to tRump on a golden platter.’

Can we just deport Steven Miller back to where he came from and bury him so deep he will never surface again? Please.

WASHINGTON (The Borowitz Report)—After Comey’s arraignment, experts warned that indicting everyone who has lied to Congress would dangerously overcrowd the nation’s prisons.

One solution, would be to repurpose the White House as a fed. penitentiary since so many eventual inmates are already there.

No Thrones. No Crowns. #NoKings.

On October 18, we rise. Not to protect a broken system, but to protect each other.

We do not bow to power.

We build people power.

😉😆😂PYONGYANG (The Borowitz Report)—Kim Jong Un accused Trump of stealing his idea:

“The summoning of the generals, the insistence on loyalty, the unhinged rhetoric—I had all of that. The only thing I didn’t have was the weird drunk guy with all the makeup.”

On the eve of a government shutdown, here’s a memorable quote from tRump in 2013:

“A shutdown falls on the president’s lack of leadership. I mean problems start from the top and they have to get solved from the top. A shutdown means the president is weak.”

L’ren LeCocq @lecocqarts.bsky.social · 13d

He made it look like a tacky bordello. People are appalled looking at it. I hope the next president restores it back to the way it was.

Jeff Tiedrich puts tRump’s tweet into focus: “ at the request of the cosplaying lady who perforates puppies for fun, our demented mad king has ordered the butt-dialing Fox News dunk-tank clown to invade an American city, and granted him the use of lethal force.” What can go wrong?🤪😂🤮😫

“Free speech rarely vanishes in a single blow. It erodes until silence feels normal. Coming from a dictatorship, people like me are sharply attuned to these things. We can sense how freedoms are chipped away little by little.”

Plaques accompanying the installation read: “In honor of Friendship Month, we celebrate the long-lasting bond between President Donald J. Trump and his ‘closest friend,’ Jeffrey Epstein. Voice Over: There must be more to life than having everything.”

A statue of President Donald Trump and convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein holding hands mysteriously appeared on the National Mall in Washington, DC, on Tuesday, September 23. The anonymous monument, billed as a cheeky tribute to the pair’s chummy alliance in recognition of Friendship Month. 😂
