Well, guess I'll be updating the Antifa Field Guide tonight...

We are changing our antifa secret handshake to slap-slap-fistbump-fistbump. Then you snap your fingers once, eat everyone's pets, and make everyone within 50' instantly become trans. Pass it along.

"One of the individuals we arrested recently was the girlfriend of one of the founders of antifa" is one of the funniest sentences ever uttered in the history of the English language

This is getting wild.

The states of Iowa, Montana, Oklahoma, South Carolina, and 14 others have just asked for permission to file THEIR amicus brief in IL v. Trump.

The States of Iowa, Montana, Oklahoma, South Carolina and 14 additional States
respectfully move for leave to submit the attached amicus curiae brief in support of Defendants
and their opposition to Plaintiffs’ requested temporary restraining order and preliminary
injunction. Proposed amici are States with a vested interest in federalism, the relationship between
States and the federal government, and deploying the National Guard. We also each have a vital
interest in supporting the President and Congress in enacting and enforcing valid immigration
laws. Every State has a responsibility to protect our citizens.
The federalization of States’ National Guard units is a matter of profound public
importance, as it directly implicates the delicate balance of power between state and federal
governments—a true cornerstone of Federalism. States generally maintain authority over their
National Guard units, allowing governors to deploy them for state-specific needs, such as disaster
response or public safety. Federalization of state National Guard units without gubernatorial

Remember hearing from a now very senior sales-ads guy who had the Trump Org as a client many moons ago in NYC...Said Trump read at maybe a 4th grade level, at best - and that Trump is "functionally illiterate."

Aaron Rupar @atrupar.com · 12h

Q: Have you given any more thought to possibly suspending habeas corpus?

TRUMP: Suspending who?

Q: Habeas corpus

TRUMP: I don't know. I'd rather leave that to Kristi.

It's all bullshit, brought to us by the dumbest, shittiest group of mouth breathers we've ever suffered.

Reuters photographer Jonathan Ernst noticed that Bondi flipped open a file during the Senate hearing and he zoomed in.

Inside were her crib notes for attacking the senators.

The GOP now practicing Cliff's Notes Fascism

In other words, under oath Bondi was purely a performance.

Bondi senate hearing had a folder full of notes for attacking the senators

Church for All Nations really should just rebrand as Christofascist Central - it's been trying to take the mantle from The Road Church in Colorado Springs, which itself duked it out with New Life Church to see whose crazy reigns supreme.

Tonight I’m at Church for All Nations for a D11 candidate forum. It seems to be just the conservative slate tonight.

Watched some of the Senate Oversight Committee hearing with AG Pam Bondi, and yeah...Between Congress, SCOTUS, our lower courts being overwhelmed, and the Trump Regime's Exec Branch appointees + lawless actions- our system of checks & balances is on hiatus if not fully kaput.

Prominent influencers, including Theo Von, Joe Rogan, and Andrew Schulz, are starting to distance themselves from the president they helped propel to the White House.

Trump is starting a new war on drugs, SCOTUS is saying "sure, do whatever you want" as ICE goons keep disappearing people with the military's backing, the government is shutdown because Republicans purposely can't govern (and won't release the Epstein files)...

The insanity is unending...

Stephen Miller: "All that bullshit is done, over, it's finished. The gangbangers you deal with- they think they're ruthless? They have no idea how ruthless we are. They think they're tough? They have no idea how tough we are. They think they're hardcore? We are so much more hardcore than they are"

The August jobs report was not the reported +54k, but -3k, and Sept. is currently -32k...Which I imagine will be quietly refined downward sometime in November.

So much winning.
