As America recedes into dipshit dystopia, folks need something more than my opinions to make it through the coming horrors. I’ve got my golden retriever, Huck. He’s possibly the best thing in this world. As a service, I’ll be sharing shots of him with my posts. Yeah, you can give him a treat.
I don’t have to say his name. When I say he’s an utterly broken human, malevolent sociopath, grifter, imbecile, incompetent, and that all he touches is doomed. Stop him. He’ll break everything. Come on GOP, you have many more awful people who can do your performative shit without tanking America.

Democrats need to articulate a better vision of the future. I can tell you exactly what I want the world to look like and why. Why can’t the Democrats?

The Art of the Deal was never any proof of Dumb Don’s financial acumen. He didn’t write it, and its wisdom is questionable. But it is a flaming self-own of anyone who still cites it as such proof, as they clearly don’t know what the fuck they’re talking about.

MAGA fronts strength and courage (mostly through expressions of cruelty), but stands for nothing, getting whipsawed back and by a their clearly insane cult leader that they dare never cross. ETTD.
imagine being this pathetic, servile and eager to gulp up the slop

Those 32+ million other companies represent the backbone of America, and the target-rich environment of independent contractors that Trump habitually cheated.
There are 33m companies in the USA. Only 21k employe 500 or more. And they only make up 23% of workers.

Trump and Elon are ignoring the more than 32m entrepreneurs that can't afford to build a new factory or pay tariffs or absorb cancelled contracts.

All of these clowns were picked because of their fealty to Donny Convict, not for their competency nor character. In fact, loyalty to him is more indicative of incompetence and abysmal character, so it’s entirely predictable that they would show themselves to be tremendous fuck ups and criminals.

By the way, they didn’t accidentally let a journalist into their discussion, they accidentally include the wrong journalist. Hannity is likely the name next to Goldberg that they meant to invite.
March 26, 2025 at 4:16 PM
Hey dipshits, you won’t win a game of Liar, Liar, Pants on Fire! when you’re the obvious fuck ups and liars, and Jeffrey Goldberg, the guy you’re accusing, has all the receipts. You knew he had them. Why even try this? Now you’re fucked—and showing yourselves way too stupid to be in charge.
March 26, 2025 at 4:10 PM
Huge security and protocol breach. While we ask where the buck stops, so far, nothing but shrugs from this clown car administration. Shirking responsibility and blame shifting works even better when they can rely upon their mad king to commit a fresh outrage to capture the next news cycle.
Goldberg said the level of detail in the targeting package that he received via Signal was down to the *names of individuals* to be killed.

That’s the good stuff that includes all kinds of sources and methods and never should have been outside a SCIF.

I’d be in prison if I fucked up that bad.

I don’t know if Roberts is concerned about American rule of law, but he’s apparently concerned about his own.
Huh. Maybe SCOTUS is paying attention while Trump attempts to dismantle our system of checks and balances.

Roberts is exactly correct here - the appellate process exists for precisely this reason. Impeachment isn’t the remedy.
BREAKING: Chief Justice Roberts issues a rare statement:

"For more than two centuries, it has been established that impeachment is not an appropriate response to disagreement concerning a judicial decision. The normal appellate review process exists for that purpose."

We all know what virtue signaling is. Well, on the other extreme we have cruelty signaling. We see more and more of it—performative malice, just to show your ass to those you seek to punch down upon, and to brag with fellow assholes about your bullying. Hate bullies? Call out their Cruelty Signaling

America has a perverse relationship with money. Around 70 years ago we stamped “In God We Trust” on our money. Subsequently, money essentially became our God.

I’m a rationalist. I’m rarely hyperbolic. But I’ve been on alert, pointing out the ongoing slaughter of canaries in this American coal mine for too long, to too many who seem more content to die with them than confront our obvious destruction. They deny the dead canaries they’re tripping over.
March 12, 2025 at 6:44 PM
Sometimes their cruelty is cost prohibitive…
"as agencies spar over responsibility for operations there and over blame for what has gone wrong, there is a growing recognition within the administration that it was a political decision that is just not working..."

Should Elon be concerned that Donny Convict thinks he should be impeached?

Did TASS help pre-write any press releases about the glorious success of our Five Year Plan before they left the other day?

A great city like New York should be able to do so much better than this jamoke. Then again, we’re just shooting way the fuck low virtually everywhere these days.
Andrew Cuomo’s comeback from what seemed like a set of career-ending scandals is one sign of the weird amnesia that some Americans have about the recent past, @dgraham.bsky.social writes in The Atlantic Daily.
The Great Forgetting
Andrew Cuomo has come back from scandals once seen as career-ending.

While I’m sure that republicans are getting death threats, I don’t think that’s what’s holding them back from opposing Trump. They’re drawn to power. They want to hold it, and the money, the grift, and not be cast out into the political wilderness. Yeah, they’re cowards, but very greedy cowards.

How many friends do I have who see the world slightly differently than me? I haven’t counted, but it’s essentially all of them. Friends can have different beliefs and politics, but not values. People who have poor values are rarely friends. MAGA values are dogshit. Can’t be with that and be with me.

You should DEFINITELY NOT go to this site & mess with this DOGE survey by the Heritage Foundation.

Definitely do NOT put fake information where they ask for your personal details.

That would fuck up all their shit, man.

These people are doing SERIOUS WORK.

Susan Collins is shitty, and she gets rightfully dragged for it—but not nearly as much as she should. She’s the kind of everyday rot that is less noticed and is continually eroding our foundation. Whereas, guys like Donny Convict are 5-alarm fires that demand attention. Both are working against us.
Gin, Simple, Soda, Lime -- shake, then pour it out on the ground in front of the person that ordered it.

Goddamnit! I really didn’t want to be this right about all the horror I warned everyone I saw coming. I especially wish so many who could have been guardrails weren’t so fucking wrong!
February 26, 2025 at 9:58 PM
You know, I was just thinking back about that day that lives in infamy and America’s savage attack upon the Japanese at Pearl Harbor…and also how that arthrogryposis-disabled AP reporter guy, Kovalesky, cruelly mocked Trump.

Hey, look who’s kind of catching up. What finally caught your attention, Kash Patel promising to prosecute media conspirators?
Hey NYTimes — *now* you’re lighting the beacons? NOW?!? After months of “Sauron: Avatar Of Evil… Or Extreme Uniter?” thumbsucker reporting you’re screaming what we’ve known since 2015? Fuck all the way off.
