“Chaos tax” is pretty good

Vučić ❌ Bolsonaro ❌ Netanyahu MAGA

Cursing hundreds of thousands to needless death, preventable with food and cures we already had, because they were toked up on conspiracy theories. And they _still_ fucking lost this election. Loathsome people. May they meet the fates they’d foist upon others.

WHAT is the GOP fascination with genitalia?

We’re not talking nearly enough about the sitting president of the United States sending our troops to die in a war while aligning our country with the dictator helping to kill them.

"When a great genius appears in the world you may know him by this sign; that the dunces are all in confederacy against him." --Jonathan Swift, who died #OTS 1745

Yikes.

Louisiana went for a fire sale.

Watch this whole video. All the way to the end.

Wow - Health Care is now more expensive than Tech @dualityresearch

I know there's much tee-hee-ing going on. But the key thing to remember is that Trump named as press secretary a person who championed the bonkers Pizzagate and QAnon conspiracy theories. Now that's crazy.

Remembering Katie Zacharia White House Press Secretary Monday - Friday

You can reasonably dispute the meaning of a lot Trump says because he’s so incoherent and inarticulate. But what you can’t reasonably dispute is that he is a sadistic and delusional narcissistic sociopath, at once both psychopathic and psychotic ...

No good can come of treating the attacks on trans folks—be it bathrooms or sports—as anything other than fascist scapegoating. Anything else is collaboration.

One answer here is simply Glass-Steagall for health care: an insurance company or wholesale distributor should not own a hospital or a pharmacy or employ doctors. They shouldn't be on both sides of the transaction. And private equity should be ejected from the industry too.

Today's cartoon by Nick Anderson. "The federal debt has doubled since Trump first took office in 2017, and he’s added more to it than Biden..."

The high road is lonely, David, and demonstrably not necessary this election cycle.

Do trans women have an advantage in sports? A recent systematic review and meta-analysis demonstrates trans women have less upper body strength, lower body strength, and aerobic capacity than cis men while performing similarly to cis women on those measures. So basically, no.

Is it good when the secretary of defense is so fixated on making sure everyone is white and has tv ready abs that he forgets about munitions bsky.app/profile/carl...

Good God, this is embarrassing. Grown-ass men reduced to beclowning themselves over whether they can say the word "won" vs "certified." Displaying ZERO integrity, smirking & sweating for a dementia-ridden narcissistic sociopath that is watching them. 📺 bsky.app/profile/atru...

“Susan Collins didn’t help us then and she’s certainly not helping us now.” Troy Jackson launches his first ad in the Maine Senate race.

Truly absurd headline. And most importantly, grossly factually inaccurate. Beyond any reasonable doubt, Trump is a sociopath; he does not grieve, nor is he capable of grief. Even if journalists are too timid to report that truth, they should not report the contrary as truth.

Funny to see this two posts down from a share of a Mamdani post. There's big structural things to fix but this imagined program isn't just "eat your vegetables" it's all celery, insufficient. 1) Break SCOTUS 2) Hose the rich and tax wealth 3) Deliver public goods in daily life & bbe loud about it.

A ground robotic complex armed with machine guns was landed at the Kinburn Spit to attack the Russian troops located there. It was delivered to the Spit by a sea drone. Sounds like a movie - but it's reality, carried out by the 123rd Territorial Defense Brigade.

Just appoint somebody. If Mitch shows up, fine.

FWIW: Could Maine 2026 turn out like New Jersey 2002? Incumbent Democratic senator Robert Torricelli drops out of the race on Sep. 30, facing ethics allegations. Dems sub in former senator Frank Lautenberg, who wins by ten points. Prediction: Normie Democrat wins easily in Maine this November.

Now that most liberals have abandoned Twitter, it’s filled with accounts that are literally just making up people to get mad at. Tons of posts like this one and, even worse, AI accounts spinning laughably dumb Marine Todd stories, with endless replies getting *so* mad at the made up nonsense.

The custom-designed luxurious interior of Trump's new AF-1, which will be his property after he leaves the White House, is filled with fake books—they're blank, but have spines stamped with things like "library," "jewelry" and "art." Trump is well known for not reading books, ever.

Here’s what the Supreme Court should have written this week. “Mr. President, take what isn’t yours. This high Court has no quarrel with a Constitutional robber baron. Pick our pockets and clean our clocks, but please don’t take our robes, for we are naked underneath them!”

Idk who needs to hear this, but there is no "gender war". Women didn't try to take away men's right to vote, to education, or for property. Women don't write laws that control a man's body. Women didn't built systems that strip men of their any freedoms. This injustice does not go both ways.

So now it’s gutsy to be racist. A GOP dream come true.

SCOOP: The Trump administration is paying millions to quickly cover four enormous bronze horses with extra-thick 23.75 karat gold leaf. The money for the rush job is coming from National Park Service funds. In total, I found ~$100 mil spent on new DC beautification projects.

They are drunk on their own wealth and have lost all self awareness and context for normal behavior

Whether it’s Donald Trump stealing $1.7 billion from the treasury to share with his friends or Hillary Clinton using a private email server to share risotto recipes with her friends, there’s plenty of inappropriate sharing on both sides.

After which, Markiemarkwayne broke out into a rousing rendition of “I’s Country ‘Tis of Thee.”
