Vivek IamSwampy continues to reap the fruits of his labor in airing that ad, as Ohio venues rebuff his campaign . . . www.yahoo.com/news/politic...

The GOP's fixation with sex is evermore manifest in Trump. He cannot stop complimenting men's asses, which is quite strange for the homophobic Republican party. "I never did that with a man before. I examined his ass, I looked at his shoulders, I looked a his feet." www.cnn.com/2026/10/21/p...

I am only a "residual" Catholic nowadays, but I had rather enjoyed the Church's leftward leanings lately. Alas. www.cnn.com/2026/10/26/p...

He must have been "armed" with his tiny little hands and feet. Smh.

With his white nationalist ties, Rep. Mike Collins may not like black people and Democrats. But what Senator Jon Ossoff did to Mike Collins in the second debate is sure to leave him black and blue. Exactly the colors he despises . . . youtu.be/7QJzFCbuHtY?...

It is an odd thing, I realize, for a man like me who prizes decency above all, in both my personal and political life to say. But the one thing I require from Democrats is this: Ruthlessness. Because loosing is indecent. Loosing hands our lives, our fates and our future to indecent people.

Our uncle (Clarence) Tom is no longer invited to weekend cookouts or family picnics. To be clear, we aren't mad about the White House and Fox News being a DEI den for blonds. After all the soles of my feet and palms of my hands are a peroxide blond. In short, we've revoked our Uncle's black card.

"He's a vegan. He's gay. He checked himself into a mental institute." All lies about James Talarico by an increasingly desperate GOP. Meanwhile, Paxton was partying in Dubai with fugitives. Perhaps he will return with a free airplane . . . youtu.be/k4VM7HO1VrU?...

Congressman Thomas Massie is going after Pete Hegseth wih such gusto, two blazing .45 caliber revolvers in each hand, and it is such heavenly music . . . youtu.be/qlr0smTRkT8?...

Civil lawsuit (to be brought by the woman): Assault and battery, intentional infliction of emotional distress, false imprisonment. Criminal lawsuit (to be brought by a prosecutor/DA: Assault and battery, aggravated assault. I hope it happens . . .

Wow. Trump actually compelled Kimberly Gargoyle to resign. I am not one to comment on a woman's looks, but how the current face could be better than naturally aging is beyond me. She used to be married to Gavin Newsom. Those were better days . . . www.theguardian.com/us-news/live...

Politics makes for strange bed fellows. Finding myself in the same camp as Boris Johnson has inflicted psychological whiplash on me . . .

Shake any tree at Mar-a-Lago, and a startled Russian falls out.

Treachery, Inc. Judas Iscariot cannot believe that his name remains synonymous with the ultimate betrayal over centuries, when the Pumpkin Palpatine exists . . .

Oh ye dark gods of yore. We are now more than ever, a rogue state . . .

At this point, Paxton should assume that even his food and beverages are bugged, as every private conversation he has is being leaked. The latest: He gripes that outgoing Texas Senator John Cornyn who Paxton hopes to replace wants Paxton to lose. He may not be wrong. www.cnn.com/2026/10/09/p...

While this might seem like an excerpt from the Onion: be assured, it's not. Nidal Hassan - who killed 13 people in the 2009 Fort Hood shooting - has been sentenced to death by FIRING SQUAD. Tell me truly Ursula, are we great again, yet? thehill.com/policy/defen...

In lieu of a Nobel Peace Prize - which is surely in the mail on its way to Mar-a-Lago - the European Parliament has unveiled a tribute to Trump called the "Orange Plague." youtube.com/shorts/XwCXa...

Merrick Garland's folly has exposed everyone who testified against paprika-colored man in the White House to malicious prosecution by a corrupt DOJ. Including Cassidy Hutchinson whose brave testimony was pivotal. www.newsweek.com/ex-trump-whi...

As soon as I saw this tres, tres, unenthusiastic, phantom 'kiss,' I knew that Republican Senator Josh Hawley of Missouri - he of the January 6 insurrection fame - had to be gay.

TEXAS — @jamestalarico.bsky.social : “Why do we have a trillionaire when veterans are sleeping on the streets? The reason poverty exists is not because we can’t feed the poor, it’s because we can’t satisfy the rich.” (From @teamtalaricohq.bsky.social )

As Ken Paxton pontificated about Christian values in front of a crowd of people, an intrepid heckler yelled out at just the right time, and in a clear voice: "You cheated on your wife!" youtube.com/shorts/b2enM...

Colorado Governor Jared Polis succumbed to pressure from Trump, and commuted Tina Peters' sentence, despite the fact that she unrepentantly committed voter fraud. She is now meeting with Trump, presumably to advise him on her ideas on meddling. Democrats. Smh. nz.news.yahoo.com/trump-hosts-...

Angela Paxton, who divorced her husband Ken Paxton very publicly on "biblical grounds," has put out an ad urging Texans to just generally vote Republican . . . Without ever mentioning her ex. And a frosty breeze blew across the Ken Paxton campaign . . . www.usatoday.com/story/news/s...

The last time that there was a US Senator who was a Democrat in Kansas was in 1939, the same year that George McGill left office. Which - incidentally - is the year that the Wizard of Oz came out. The ratings have gone from "likely Republican" to "leans Republican." One can only hope . . .

White supremacy. I could hate you. I really could. But I'm so busy . . .

No. He was not 'required' to bring it in Florida. He could have brought it in D.C. And if Trump had contested venue, it was a legal fight worth having. washingtonmonthly.com/2024/05/17/j....

The ad is plainly illegal. Nakedly partisan, yet paid for by tax dollars in the name of a "public service announcement. But unsurprising. Trump no longer feels constrained by any law. He's defying judges, aided and abetted by a compromised SCOTUS and a neutered Congress. youtu.be/Yo4NUMQIJS8?...

Ads against El-Sayed are raining down like bullets in Michigan, often back to back. Every ad begins with "one word describes El-Sayed: socialism." Apparently socialism is the exact opposite of 'freedom.' Mike Rogers, is still figuring out how to use El-Sayed's race and religion against him.

In the dancing, prancing flames, I divined my future. Charcoal and ashes . . .

Beware of rich men with accumulated wealth. They are an ever-present menace to our way of life. - Osama bin Laden - Elon Musk - Jeff Bezos - Peter Thiel

The fact Donald Trump told his supporters last night to "Cheat like hell" in 2026 election BUT that isn't the headline nationwide shows you again how corporate media is complicit.

On 9/11 my estranged father had his eyes glued to the TV, as I left for class. He told me that a plane had just flown into the North Tower. What a tragic accident, I said. He scoffed at my naivete. I left for class. Chaos reigned at the university. Classes were being canceled. And then I knew.

Pete Hegseth tried to mock Canadians, so This Hour Has 22 Minutes brought the receipts and his workout form. 😂🇨🇦 Nothing brings Canadians together quite like an arrogant bully underestimating us. This is comedy gold! #SheShed #ElbowsUp #ChickenLegs #CanadaStrong #ThisHourHas22Minutes

ABC - like an errant tortoise - retracted its head into its shell to avoid incurring the Trump regime's wrath. It refused to air James Talarico's interview with Jimmy Kimmel. Big mistake. It currently has 95,098 views on YouTube. And it was aired only 30 minutes ago. youtu.be/WLDE9LrGpNk?...

He scuttled a good economy, isolated us from out allies, decimated monuments and embarked upon an odyssey of corruption that would impress Homer. Rightfully, he has the popularity of Darth Vader. But he doesn't care. He plans to cheat. And, he doesn't have to run again. youtu.be/A-9_kMzRwcs?...

Hillary Clinton: "Xi is thinking, 'They they can't defend anybody anymore bc they don't have capacity. Maybe we can coerce Taiwan into giving up bc there's not going to be support.' If you look at the world map, it's not favorable to the US largely bc of wrongheaded decisions by this administration"

Elon Musk offered his ex, Ashley St. Clair, $40,000,000 not to tell the truth about him in Alex Gibney’s new, scathing documentary. She told Musk to take a hike. Apparently, Elon is *furious* that the four-hour film is unflattering. But, in fairness, how could it not be—unless it were fiction?

A Texas cop, Stetson hat and all, the kind of man who has likely voted red all of his life, has thrown his lot behind Talarico. The blue flood is growing . . . youtu.be/w1kxWxVcB7I?...

The leopard is eating the face of the GOP. Republicans were just a vessel for Trump to gain power. He never cared about them. He has co-opted the Republican midterm convention. He is using it to afford them an opportunity to kiss his pendulous derriere. www.cnn.com/2026/09/09/p...
