the president has destroyed the east wing of the white house without so much as a word of input from anyone else to build a royal ballroom paid for with bribes
NEW: After The Washington Post reported Monday on the demolition of the "East Wing facade," a new picture obtained by Law Dork that was taken on Tuesday shows that a substantial portion of the entirety of the East Wing has been demolished.
good news then, it's richard bachman
also i played the demo for dispatch, which is somewhere between the boys and invincible, meets monster prom. 99% sure I'm buying it tomorrow when it drops, it was fun
these people are the absolute dumbest creatures imaginable (halligan et al., not the incredible anna bower). haven't finished reading but jesus. jesus christ. what imbeciles.
EXCLUSIVE: One Saturday afternoon in October, my phone lit up with a notification.

I glanced down at the message.

“Anna, Lindsey Halligan here,” it began.

So began my text exchange with the woman who is prosecuting the president's perceived political enemies.

One thing I've seen no discussion about: If Lindsey the Insurance Lawyer has only ever been playing dressup as US Attorney since Trump installed her, what happens to all the people she fired?
glad you like the podcast :)

if we're reporting anti-american sentiment, this is worse than anything i've ever said...
Mike Johnson: "The irony was that they called it the No Kings Rally, but if President Trump was a king, the government would be open. If President Trump was a king, he would've closed the nationals parks and the National Mall so they couldn't of had the rally out here."

The Trump WH spent all weekend ripping Gavin Newsom for being concerned that this stunt by Hegseth and Vance could endanger people driving on one of the busiest highways in America. These idiots are going to get people killed.
can't wait to listen to this after a four hour conference call
Out tomorrow AM. This episode has two distinct halves.

Come to hear Mike and I riff on MAGA's fumbling attempt to convince America that "Antifa" (as they describe it) is a top national security threat. Stay for the conversation about a racist dystopian novel that has inspired actual terrorists.
On Monday's episode, @michaelehayden.bsky.social and I talk about MAGA's search for "Antifa terrorists." It doesn't seem to be going well.

Then, we look at "The Turner Diaries" -- the Bible for white supremacist terrorists -- and hear from the author's son.

seems that RFK is clearing the path for his CDC to do tuskegee syphillis experiments as a matter of course. in other news, RFK is a genuine monster who relishes in the pain and suffering of those he feels he has control or dominion over
RFK is undoing human subjects protections so he can conduct placebo trials of vaccines. That means infecting people knowingly. I wonder who will “volunteer” for these trials? If history is any guide, a lot of incarcerated and other powerless people.
Dismantling the Institutional Review Board (IRB), that oversees all human subjects research, is bad. Really bad.

he's such a lil rascal, just a scalawag
this has been a strength of his since the grab them by the pussy clip.

if your behavior is so offensive that it can't be reported on the evening news without inviting a moral panic, you can do whatever you want!

every local station should be airing that clip and discussing the implications!!!!!!
Oh it’s not appropriate for your program to air the president wearing a crown and shitting on American citizens?

You’ll talk about it in euphemisms? Maybe call it the “crown video” and ignore the shitting part? Because that’s appropriate?

Tell me, was it appropriate for the president to do it?

Mike Johnson sputtering that it's no big deal that he hasn't sworn in Grivalja yet, it's such a small stupid thing, why are you people still asking about it, I can do it anytime, but no, I'm not going to do it now, or later, or anytime soon, there's no big deal here, shut up, stop asking about it

Don’t let the frogwater that’s boiling us alive let you skip over this: we murdered another country’s citizens in cold blood, and when their leader objected, we called him a drug dealer and cut off aid to his country. That’s freakish.
Petro objected to the US bombing a Columbian fishing vessel that had the emergency beacon on because they were broken down, that we subsequently bombed. One Columbian fisherman survived the attack.

This is the official US response to Petro's comments.
i hate that i understood this without any context.
I just got back on here for the first time since yesterday afternoon and seeing posts about some video and I am afraid to ask

The president needs your help! He's collecting diarrhea for his plane. He has a plane that's 99% toilet with other people's diarrhea in it and he wears a little crown when he drives it around. Brave patriots please send your loose stool to your favorite diarrhea president for his diarrhea plane.
so in response to no kings protesters saying he's a militaristic dictator shitting on america, he uses ai slop to show that he's a militaristic dictator shitting on america?
The president, on his Truth Social account, posts an AI video portraying him as 'King Trump' piloting a fighter jet which drops shit on 'No Kings' demonstrators. truthsocial.com/@realDonaldT...
