Trump actually believes he can bend reality with sheer will and truckloads of lies. And for half the country, he can. They can’t afford groceries or medical care. But when Trump says the {sinking} economy is the greatest ever, they believe him. This lump they believe. The human mind is mysterious.

Sometimes people use others’ names and expect it to be ignored. And sometimes there are people who have no sense of humor. Jesus.

MAGA and Trump minions threatening the Nobel Peace Prize if Trump wasn’t chosen and howling like scalded dogs when he was passed over is peak Trump. Clueless about the irony of it all. It’s all right, lads, back you go to slaughtering innocent Venezuelans. Get them Norskis next time!

JD is positive he’ll be a brilliant POTUS. Thing is, to lift a line from the great Al Franken, I like JD more than anyone I know. And I hate JD. Ain’t nobody gonna follow that that jamoke. There will be blood.

In fairness, it was Lyndon Johnson in 1965 who signed Medicare into law.

They want Americans to believe that Antifa, a loosely organized bunch of diverse people at best, is a terrorist organization. The anti-fascists are the terrorists. Right. So then the fascists are what now?

I smell a romcom with these two crazy kids. Hello Netflix?

It’s a really bad sign when more people are laughing at you and mocking you than people cheering you or cowering in fear. This shutdown/ICE/Epstein shit show is the best example of jumping the shark the world has ever seen.

First of all, the weight distribution is off. The polar bear tips the ice sheet and all wind up paddling. Gravity, people.

What’s with Vance telling everybody they’re not grateful enough. This guy? Really? I’d be grateful if he spent a few centuries in the La Brea tar pits. At least he’d be quiet. I mean this metaphorically, of course. Of course.

I’m. So. Tired.

I don’t just want you to pay attention to Chicago because I want you to understand our plight. I want you to see how hard people are fighting and know wtf you’re made of. We’re not just fighting for this place. This is for all of us.

I get this sounds crazy, but I think the regime is faltering. Seeing such savage violence against our own people, even DJT’s staunch supporters have questions. They’re losing now, and they’re willing to burn the country to the ground to stay in power. So let’s remember who we are. Fight. Win.

Hey, thanks for dropping by and for the compliment! No one’s ever called me a brainiac before. Sounds cool. I checked you out. I see you say nothing about yourself and post, um, nothing. Maybe if you tried saying something people give a shit about, huh? Otherwise they’ll just block you like this.

Whoa, Stephen Miller is way up in the crazy fascist hate room. His social media rants would make his Granpa Goebbels proud. Also explains Millers interest in helping Argentina out. Might need to get there fast one of these days.

If ICE has no vehicles to move about the city chasing toddlers, then they will be unable to fulfill their unlawful duties. So please protect ICE vehicles. No tire slashing, no sugar in gas tanks, no planted trackers, no glue in keyholes, etc. and definitely no creative new approaches to resistance.

This motherfucker actually believes that, when he throws out another ridiculous Executive Order, he is creating a new law. And everybody has to do what he says. He really believes that. Oddly, seems the legacy media agree since they don’t bother to report the lawlessness.
