I watched a documentary on movies that came out in 1982. It makes me wonder why the movie industry is so lacking in good releases now? ET Poltergeist Blade Runner An Officer and a Gentleman Tootsie The Thing Pink Floyd The Wall First Blood Ghandi Something for everyone, and that's a partial list

Interesting insight into how fascism can rise to prominence in a country .. youtu.be/ww47bR86wSc?...

When asked about the lies coming from the WH daily, members in Congress or those up for appointment engage in equivocating. Trump administration vocab term of the day: Equivocating: using unclear or confusing language on purpose to hide the truth or avoid taking a clear stand

Ah yes, Trump deserves what he calls the "Noble" Peace Prize ... in some twisted fantasyland in his mind.

It's very frustrating to be around someone that brags about how well off they are when they tip horribly and stick you with bills more often than not. You can't take it with you, so why be so selfish?

The state of US Government leadership.

Trump is playing games to pretend he's won the Iran war.. www.youtube.com/watch?v=jBmh...

It's time we make some cards up of the people who are destroying the country .. Here's the starter set (Not a bad idea for campaign materials for Dems at some point, either) These guys are more destructive to the US than most terrorists around the World could have dreamed of.

All hail the defender of stupidity, evil, and chaos.. Captain Chaos!

“The groups also argued that removing the videos would threaten their First Amendment rights, while depriving the public of important new documentation of DOGE.” 🎁 www.nytimes.com/2026/03/13/n...

"The US public is like mushrooms, kept in the dark and fed BS" - Prof Steve Starr in an Iran-related YouTube video

Behold the dodo. They did not go extinct, like 250 years of US democracy, because a bunch of halfwit SCOTUS members decided presidents are immune from the law and corporations can buy elections with unlimited $.

We just ordered a side of beef direct from a farmer.. The price is up about 50% since our last order. MHCA .. Make Hamberders Cheap Again

There are a lot of good ideas in the Bull Moose Party platform, of Ted Roosevelt, that would be very useful today: Empower citizens: The initiative (voter proposed legislation). The referendum (voters can decide on a law). The recall (voters can remove an elected official).

The theme Song for the Republican led Government www.youtube.com/watch?v=2g5H...

Semi-regular reminder that a sane country would have already impeached and removed. But then again a sane country wouldn’t have elected a maniac criminal twice in the first place.

I propose a new TV rating system .. We'll start with a new rating for Fox, OAN, and Newsmax called Misinforming BS (MBS)

Goebbles or Miller?

Next up: people must wear his hats and buy his shoes to be allowed to vote. www.usatoday.com/story/news/p...

Did anyone wonder what it would be like if the Federal Government was completely taken over by self centered a$$holes with no respect for anyone or anything... well.. now they know.

In a grotesque parody of justice, Kilmar Abrego Garcia—wrongly shipped to El Salvador's hellish prisons via "administrative error"—now faces deportation to Uganda in 72 hours, despite zero ties to the place. Bureaucratic malice at its finest. #ImmigrationReform

This has always been the GOP's strategy: 1) Cut taxes for the wealthy & corporations by claiming they'll pay for themselves. 2) Explode deficits 3) Use the debt as an excuse to demand cuts to vital programs that help millions. 4) Repeat.

Socially, there is freedom and liberty for all or not.. Economically, we can have a Government that invests, pragmatically, in progress and people, or not. In a well functioning Democracy, these support each other ..

If anyone wants to know who best defends against Trumpism, take note of who Gump insults ..

LA is not a distraction. But neither is it a separate story. If Dems can't at least chip away at that bill, Miller gets expanded budget to do this everywhere. www.emptywheel.net/2025/06/08/t...

Because there are no balls to be had in our Government. If our Congress was really “of the people”, they would have impeached that stupid orange moron a month ago and arrested Leon Muskrat for government corruption.

Perfect response for a maga nut job telling me I have TDS and am a sheppel (sic)? you are in a cult.. the corrupt bird brain has a nest in your skull

Do YOU want to live in a place like this? #MATA Make America Think Again! #USDemocracy

He wants to build prisons in El Salvador for American citizens he doesn't like. Enough's enough. He needs to be stopped.

important context about the concentration camps in el salvador:

FUNDSTRAT tonight: “.. in the last few days, we have had many conversations with macro fund managers. .. A few have quietly wondered if the President might be insane.”

Shame on Merrick Garland Shame on the GOP Shame on SCOTUS This is how you treat a President who violates the Constitution/breaks the law.

Trump shows journalists a gold card featuring his face: “For $5 million this could be yours” He does this on the very day the market wipes out $2.6 trillion in value,while millions of Americans fear for their jobs amid a looming recession. So out of touch

Maybe next time let’s not elect someone who runs because they’re trying to not go to jail?

He couldn’t get us to do it the last time, so he made the economy drink bleach instead.

Don’t call them tariffs. Call them import taxes.
