My new goal is to poast something so left wing Antifa-ish it will be featured on Fox News.

It also helps them weed out the soldiers who will refuse to follow clearly illegal orders.

I believe it’s a trial run for deploying military death squads in the US.

They’re not signing because creating right wing propaganda is THEIR job, not Pete Hegseth’s.

Not that anybody comes to me for Maine politics, but the fact that the Democrats successfully convinced a 77yo Governor to primary the 41yo progressive, is today's example of why the Democrats fucking stay failing.

Susan Collins is 72 and if Schumer gets his way, she'll be the YOUNGER choice!

I put together a URL shortener that uses a Cloudflare worker and KV storage, and redirects to an original URL almost instantly from Cloudflare’s global CDN, without even touching my server. All with a free account. Pretty cool!

Trump ignores a question from a woman reporter but says, "I just like to watch her talk. Good job. Thank you darling."

Pro tip: I will block anyone who comes at me with that “you’re surprised by this?” bullshit.

Chuck Schumer should be focused on fighting Donald Trump and protecting healthcare for millions of Americans, not meddling in a Maine primary.

DC's choice has lost to Susan Collins five times in a row. We can't afford a sixth.

Colbert: A Doozy Of A Week | No Nobel Prize | Trump’s War On America | Disease Experts Fired

Stephen Colbert gets caught up on the news he missed while The Late Show was on break, President Trump didn't win a Nobel Peace Prize but he did deploy National Guard troops to Oregon and Illinois, and mass layoffs at the C.D.C. could leave the U.S. vulnerable to infectious disease outbreaks.

Democrats: “ Donald Trump is a would be dictator who is using the military to occupy American cities and kidnapping people off the streets, but I’d like to congratulate him on his marvelous peace deal in Gaza.”

WTF is wrong with these people?

Eric Trump: "We're saving Christianity. We've saving God. We've saving the family unit. We're saving this nation. I mean, DEI is out of the window, Benny. You no longer have Colin Kaepernick kneeling for the national anthem. You no longer have Budweiser going woke as hell. All of this is dead."

I predicted the “peace deal” in Gaza would last 3 days.

Turns out it lasted less than one.

I’ve gotta stop being so optimistic.

It should’ve been obvious that new government agencies created with unchecked powers of surveillance and repression in the name of the “war on terror“ would eventually be used against American citizens.

Maybe because I lived through too many of them, but I always fear that a rally for a charismatic progressive might end in a horrific act of violence.

And I always feel relieved when it doesn’t.
