waiting for the shoe to drop where Trump states that he’s moving the seat of the Government to FL because of "reasons". The House will be relocated to a local trailer park, the Senate abolished and the Supreme Court downsized because he’s President, how can anything he does be considered illegal?

while I am happy that the FBI has retained a person of interest in the J6 Pipe Bombs affair (It was the FBI, right?), I guess my question is it took them nearly 5 years to find them and we still know next to nothing about them other than white, supposedly autistic, lives at home and leans right

If we have midterms and if they continue to trend as we've seen in 2025, we hope that our newly elected officials have an idea on how to restrain the 47 Administration and in this extended post I will post some ideas (realistic) to what they can do... with the expected pushback from 47

thinking about the political possibilities post the 47 Admin, is it smarter for Dem pols to continue to sell the "return to normalcy" position to the obviously biased media in order to continue lull them into a sense that their footsy with Fascism is "just a phase"?

so now Senator Barrasso wants to institute means testing (y'know that's what he really wants) to "combat fraud" with ACA subsidies. It's proof that there is no higher power because if there was, that hypocritical bastard would be nothing but ashes from the smiting lightening strikes.

so lets cover what was actually discussed in the recent Cabinet meeting...

yes, we're committing war crimes in the Caribbean, so yay us!
yes, we're doing our part to keep poor people hungry, so yay us!
yes, we're continuing our assaults on immigrants of all statuses, so yay us!

As we approach our one-year anniversary at Fight the Fire, a look back at an early cartoon by Shields, "Your Guide to the Republican U.S. government."
A few slots have changed, but sadly we're looking at same damned organization chart.

Scientists in Japan made a plastic that dissolves in seawater within hours and biodegrades in dirt in 10 days.

It’s made from food additives, releases nutrients like plant vitamins, and doesn’t leave behind any nasty microplastics.😎👏💙

what is truly scary about the way that ICE is operating is that they appear to be extremely adept at not filing paperwork, no way to trace who is doing what, who is authorizing actions and actually who is being snatched and where they might be held or even sent.

Considering what the reporting is saying about the orders issued by our Secretary of War, I would have no problem once the 47 Administration is followed by a Democratic one, allowing these folks to be tried in the Hague for War Crimes and if found guilty, letting them receive justice.

People will die, and are currently dying, because RFK was granted one of the most powerful megaphones in the country. Two people who could have thrown barriers in front of his climb decided not to; there's a sex scandal here but it is not the biggest scandal.

kudos to the MST3K Channel folks for pimping season 11 and 12 offerings on this year's marathon. So many of us are old school and need to appreciate and enjoy the new stuff more. Sooo many of us kicked in to those kickstarters and made that happen.

Just giving thanks and a raised glass to all.

time to wind this down, so perhaps it's time that we take a trip with Wilbert Harrison from the American Graffitti soundtrack

back to Bond themes, since we played a decidedly ironic version, it makes sense to play the remake as well, just to be fair....
