I don't think there's any better example of leopards eating faces than the Lebanese immigrant who opened a Trump-themed burger restaurant and then got arrested by ICE.

During a military-style raid on a building in Chicago’s South Shore, one resident heard a knock on his door.   It wasn’t the feds — it was a mom and her 7-year-old daughter, pleading for help.

He let them hide in his unit for the next 3 days.

They’re holding their index fingers, rather than pulling them back like we do. I always loved the song since my junior high Dr. Demento days, but the video is so fabulous!

No dictator can survive ridicule. None. They know it, that’s why they kill the satirists.

Because when the people no longer fear the dictator, the dictator goes bye-bye.

All government is by consent of the people. If we don’t consent, they don’t govern.

Seriously, what the everlasting fuck is he talking about?

True

Screenshot of comments Vance made about Trump, including “maybe America’s Hitler, might be a cynical, asshole, cultural heroin, noxious, and reprehensible, I’m a never, Trump guy, never liked him, terrible candidate, idiot if you voted for him.”

There are actually people who want to put his ugly, orange face up there.

I wouldn’t carve his face on a pet rock.

Let’s just make him a chia pet and call it a day.

It’s like giving all the little kids participation trophies. Bad idea.

At this point, they are pathological. It’s not even funny. It’s dangerous. If we were a nation of educated, rational people, the majority would see this for the bullshit it is. But there remains a sizable portion who will actually believe this. We will die of stupidity.

Apropos of nothing in particular this morning, I've been told that, in essence, there are two things that physicians can't do at the White House medical unit: MRIs and surgeries. Virtually anything else can be done there if you have to or want to.

They didn’t just NOT give Trump the Nobel Peace Prize, they wrote a citation that reads like an anti-Trump rallying cry.

(He’s gonna extra-tariff Norway now, isn’t he?)

'When authoritarians seize power, it is crucial to recognize courageous defenders of freedom who rise and resist,' the Norwegian Nobel Committee said as it announced Maria Corina Machado as the winner of the 2025 Nobel Peace Prize

Sometimes we need a moment, but if you tune out completely, they win. Fascism doesn’t need your support, just your silence.

Trump appears to be openly considering ordering the construction of an imperial monument to his vanity as the gateway to this republic's most solemn national gravesite.

The original video of Spike Jones and His City Slickers shows them flipping off Hitler. Shot in Nov. 1942. Delicious. Still can’t figure out if they got it past a oblivious censor or it was made for the troops, not the public. youtu.be/I1583adUqSg?...

Her then-husband, Marcel Dalio (the croupier in the “shocked” scene) was a big French star, but Jewish. Conrad Veidt (Maj. Strasser)’s wife was Jewish, so they left Germany for the UK in 1933. Many of the actors had fled Europe. Casablanca was “full of Antifa, Antifa everywhere.”

Carole Lombard, my avatar, died the day after this photo was taken. After Pearl Harbor, she volunteered to go to her home state of Indiana to sell War Bonds. She sold 4x the expected amount. Her plane home crashed, also killing her mother, her friend, and many young military pilots. OG Antifa.
