A blog post from the day after Trump was elected the first time. (I was angry. I expect many of us felt this then and feel it ever more today.)

Late Night Revisits Ye Olde β€˜No Kings’ Protests www.nytimes.com/2025/10/21/a...

Who in the hell is Greg Gutfeld and why are his jokes so bad? Seriously, why would the NYT publish this guy's jokes alongside elite jokesters like this? Read them. They're not close to funny. They not funny adjacent.

A bit more Make Japan Great Again than I might prefer but she's a woman and she likes Iron Maiden so I'm going with that. Hooray for Japan. Women should run the world.

It’s appalling, but Traitor Trump is questioning the intelligence, ethics and patriotism of the American people. It’s like opposite day became a repeatable Ground Hog Day. Release the files, impeach him again and close down his domestic terrorist cult.

Trump: "I'm allowed as you know as president, like 50% of the presidents have used the Insurrection Act. Everybody agrees you're allowed to use that and there is no more court cases, there is no more anything. We're trying to do it in a nicer manner, but we can always use the Insurrection Act."

If it’s a formal armed conflict, which it isn’t, they should b managed differently than what the Coast Guard typically does w/ suspected traffickers. Of course we know th Trump admin is full o shit.

New rule. If you fall down just from being feeble, you have to leave the senate. Post haste.
I wouldn’t be opposed to Andy Badger making a deal to appoint a Republican just so he or she is old style palatable. (Not MAGA, tea party jerk.)
