Chicago is having none of this administration's BS.

May I suggest a new rhetorical tactic that mimics the Gish Gallop on speed called the “Trump Typhoon?”

The Gish-gallopin’ist blast of bs I’ve ever heard.

AI: do your work: list every claim and statistic he spewed and fact check. I’ll bet there won’t be ten out of two hundred.

Let’s talk about Trump’s reinstatement of the Monroe Doctrine, aka his “corollary.”

Does his obsession with Venezuela and pardon of the former drug-smuggling president of Honduras resonate?

We know the rest of the story, but in case you weren’t tuned in by 1991, here’s Part I. In some places, it gave me cold chills.
Trump: What's the Deal? (Full 1991 BANNED Documentary)
The film was commissioned in 1988 by Leonard Stern. Donald threatened to sue any broadcaster or distributor that took on the film. It was screen only twice & subsequently suppressed.

Antifa or Profa?
How silly is that?
How American is that?
I’d say using either label is simply Un-American. How about you?

7. To draw out a silly argument, consider this:
If everyone on the left side of the political spectrum is ANTIFAscist, does that mean that everyone on the right is PROFAscist?

5. Who in the US ISN’T against fascism?!
6. WARNING! Using words like antifa could mean anything. It could include anyone who opposes fascism. It could include most any American, including yourself or people you know. After all, aren’t both political parties OPPOSED TO FASCISM?

Here’s a short list:
*Nazis under Hitler
*Brown Shirts under Mussolini
*pro-Castro followers in Cuba
*Communists under Stalin
*extremist groups like the Klan

There are no members as such, no leadership, no funding structure, no events, no meetings, no banners, no protests, no marches, no ideology.
3. The word is roughly construed as an abbreviation of AntiFascist.
September 18, 2025 at 6:15 PM
Stop using the word “Antifa” now!

Why?

1. It isn’t even a real word; rather, it is a slur created and used by one side of the political spectrum to insult the opposition to its politics.
2. There is absolutely no such organization anywhere. 1/

Children, politicians, family, friends, neighbors, journalists, workers, vacationers, worshippers, shoppers, drivers, cyclers, pedestrians, scientists, CEOs, immigrants, citizens, kooks.

Just called Senator Thom Tillis’ to call him an f’ing trunt.

He could have been my HS classmate (1978).

He is without a doubt a LOSER. Magnitude #10.

He and his colleagues can suck my d. And yeah I don’t have one.

But it’s still bigger than theirs.

Yesterday’s Oval Office fight played like reality TV. Here’s how:

1. Director sets up “confrontation” with Mean Girl 1 and Mean Girl 2 with lots of Influencers in the room.

2. Roll Camera.

3. Nice Girl enters room. Mean Girls 1/2 attack. Influencers egg them on. Nice girl defends herself.

I’m outraged beyond words at NBC’s capitulation to the ersatz prez and his band of broligarchs.

Whatever happens as a consequence, you can be sure that many, if not most, Americans rely on you, Joy, Lawrence, Niccole, and your team to deliver accurate reporting & analysis.

Fun fact: Search Wikipedia for “doge“ and you’ll see its original meaning. The Doge of Venice ruled the Republic for over 1000 years. Then look up a gold coin called a “zecchino.” The coin shows St. Peter blessing the Doge of Venice.

Forget crypto. Forget Shiba Inu. This is who Elon thinks he is.

Hi y’all

I have just started publishing some of my political thoughts on Substack, where I can write in paragraphs. I’d appreciate any feedback you have to offer.
