Absolutely disgusting, but what can we expect from an adjudicated rapist and a congenital liar?

Q: Amy Acton's stepfather was indicted for rape. Now that you know all that, sir, do you change your mind about the ad? Trump: No. I don't care

The MAGA two-minute hate over Elissa Slotkin is the perfect example of how MAGA propaganda infects and distorts mainstream news coverage, which transforms it into a "controversy" that requires even-handed coverage of both sides' "positions" (one of which is complete bullshit):

Admirer of Orban how? Admire what, exactly? The corruption enriching himself, his family, and cronies? The state’s forced takeover of media? Getting rid of the country’s top ranked university? Anti-LGBT bigotry? Abusing power to render elections no longer free or fair? The pro-Putin foreign policy?

LOL -- JD Vance says "I've endorsed one foreign candidate in my entire life, and it didn't go particularly well, as much as I'm very much an admirer of Orban"

JD Vance says he doesn't care if the candidate he supports is exploiting a family tragedy in which a 12-year-old girl was raped.

WOW -- Vance *defends* Vivek's reprehensible ad 👇 Q: Ramaswamy's campaign put out a controversial ad featuring his opponent's mother. Some Republicans are backing away. Do you think it was appropriate? JD VANCE: Well, I'll be honest. Whether the ad was appropriate or not is not really my concern.

Trump announces "fraud whistleblower incentive program" -- "Americans will now be able to go to fraud dot gov and report cases of corruption and theft of taxpayer dollars in their communities ... if you turn somebody in and you find $1 billion, we're giving a commission of 1%. That's a lot of money"

The Trump regime’s window to get Russia a victory in Ukraine without Congress exposing the corrupt personal payments Trump and Co. will get from Russia if they pull it off is down to three months. Hence the big push now.

Brian Taylor@bdtaylor-su.bsky.social

3 days ago Trump said if it wasn't for one dumb general Russia would have seized Kyiv on day one. Today Rubio is telling us that the war isn't about controlling Ukraine, it's just about Donetsk. They can't get their story straight, but they all seem in a big hurry to sell out Ukraine to Putin.

Sure, Mike Rogers... But do you disavow worshipping a convicted-felon, rapist, pedophile, who has your testicles in his pocket?

Whether it is the East Wing of the White House, the Reflecting Pool on the Mall, the East Potomac golf course, or the Kennedy Center, the wildly incompetent Donald Trump can't turn his attention to *anything* without leaving behind debris and destruction.

Friendly reminder: The stolen documents case against 🍊 when he stored secret docs in his shitter and ballroom at MAL was dismissed without prejudice which means a future AG (with real stones) could refile the case after the 🍊 tumor leaves office. 🤞

As inflation hits a 4-month high and the Iran war keeps driving up gas prices, Trump unveils his big plan with the midterms two weeks away: a "World Class Championship Golf Course" in D.C. Work starts Nov. 15, closing a public course for about 15 months, he says.

Replying to @meidastouch.com

The golf course, the data centers, the ballroom, the tariffs, the war, the promotion of AI, the attack on free speech, the attack on voting rights, the dismantling of agencies designed to protect us, the elevation of the oligarchy...all of this and so much more. The breaking point has been reached.

Trump-friendly oligarchs are buying up major media with the regime's help. They control CNN, CBS, Fox, TikTok, Meta, X and major local TV chains. Yet Mike Johnson is still claiming liberal bias. The real media conspiracy is the corporate consensus to normalize Johnson and other right-wing radicals.

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com

Mike Johnson offers a conspiracy theory to explain away his party's dire polling: "I believe there's a concerted effort between Democrats and the mainstream media that's openly biased in their favor to discourage the Republican side"

Ossoff: "The crisis we must meet is deeper than this presidency. Trump's rise is proof that business as usual has failed, that our politics, sickened by corruption, is failing the American public and compromising our national integrity. And that the hour is late to fix what's broken."

"Perhaps the bleakest factoid is that the US is even less popular as a tourist destination than Nazi Germany in the 1930s." This is a really big deal on so many levels. It's also so damn depressing. Trump really does ruin everything.

New in PN: Who wants to visit an authoritarian America? "Data shows the US on its way to being as unpopular a tourist destination as Russia, & for roughly the same reasons. In both countries, a tourist who runs afoul of the govt might spend months in a freezing warehouse without no legal counsel."

Russia, Russia, Russia was not a hoax. Trump signed an EO tonight exempting Russia from new sanctions legislation that Congress passed last month. The law was designed to squeeze the financial lifelines sustaining Russia's war against Ukraine. Gift link. 👇 www.nytimes.com/2026/10/16/u...

Trump wants to make sure it’s as easy as possible for his friend Putin to bomb apartment buildings and kill children. He’s not just the worst president in history, he’s the most evil person to ever serve at the highest level of government. Vote out his weak Republican enablers.

Could this finally be the beginning of the end of the culture wars that have been so successful at scamming the baby boomers and red states into voting for the GQP? We can only hope so. It's going to take generations to undo the damage and restore serious, intelligent leadership from top to bottom.

The Original Sin of politics was the invention of the passive voice, when Adam and Eve ate of the Tree of Vague Unaccountability. Wild how all those violent ICE agents just … got hired … and deployed … somehow. Who can possibly say how? It’s all a mystery.
