When the old man goes tits up, it wont’t be over. There will a vacuum. Vance, Miller, Noem, Hegseth, even Trump’s children will be circling the carcass snarling at each other. Will one dominate? Will they divide the nation and fight forever? Will a foreign actor come in. History says all may be.

Reading Mary Beard when it hits me. Trump is NOT Hitler. He isn’t Mussolini. Those similarities are due to his affectations.
We need to look even further back for the populist, fascist prototype.

He’s Cicero.

Sounds like Thiel is describing Trump! Because this brand of dispensational eschatology also states that the antichrist will be wounded in the head and survive miraculously.

Turns out that his blood glucose level is so high that his backwash turns the bottle’s contents to Kool Aid

Foolish. He will be holding the bag all alone when the house of cards falls.

I just inadvertently abbreviated Hegseth’s title as SOW, and now I can’t stop calling him that.

Body-camera video appears to contradict the government's claim that Marimar Martinez, 30, drove toward officers before one of them opened fire at her late Saturday morning in Brighton Park, her attorney claimed. A judge ordered Martinez and a co-defendant released pending trial.

Indeed. Well stated. And when this ends, these whinging incels will disappear, hide in their mothers’ basements, and claim they never supported MAGA or participated y any of this. 50 years from now, people will read about an elderly man who had escaped prosecution for crimes against humanity.

Translation: “you can’t stop us from inciting enough violence to create so much public unrest that we can invoke the insurrection act, declare martial law, and have our big “war within.””

Brother’s Keeper @revdrmatt.bsky.social · 4d

And now Trumpbo, the Grifter in Chief, is trying to avoid disbursing backpay to federal employees once this shutdown ends.
Federal employees who still support MAGA need a long, hard look in the mirror.

Please share this far and wide; Adelita Grijalva won the ELECTION 71% to 27%; but Mikey the Johnson is holding up her appointment; because he’s protecting PEDOPREZ!

Watching Steven Miller devolve since entering Trump’s inner circle is like watching Smeagol turn into Gollum.

Remember when he said he didn’t even know who she was? That was awesome…

(Apologies to Chris Farley. But seriously, there is no reason for him to pardon her unless she is helping him and has the ability to hurt him.)

Who’s FOing the FA now?

Brother’s Keeper @revdrmatt.bsky.social · 5d

This is beginning to look even more like the most disturbing moments in the last 3 centuries of human history. And far too few are paying attention. This could be Fr. Maximillian Kolbe speaking.

Brother’s Keeper @revdrmatt.bsky.social · 5d

You’re so right. Those are the traits underlying all the anger and hate I’m seeing.

I don’t make being a Veteran my whole identity, but it is something I think I am allowed to take some quiet pride in. And I certainly judge no who didn’t serve. So why do so many MAGA men feel the need to defend their manhood when the topic of my service does come up? I don’t see women doing this.
