The Trump shit video is basically this, but I will reiterate that if a Dem is critical of conservative voters it’s a generational scandal and when Republican pols literally post themselves shitting on their opposition virtually the entire elite politics and media class treats it as fine and normal

When someone uses this emoji 🤣 they are more mad than they have ever been in their entire life

no one will ask Leavitt about this on Monday, but she should be asked if the president fantasizes about flying around in a plane overloaded with his own shit and if she agrees that the American people should bathe in the president’s loose, liquid shit

Not sure the folks at NBC/Peacock thought this one through

Rebecca Miller’s Mr. Scorsese is one of the best biographical docs about a filmmaker there is. My only complaint is that it’s ONLY five hours long.

But in the event you need immediate help, call in a Greyhawk 10.

Friends, if you haven’t been to a normie protest before, please don’t let some nutters on the internet worry you that you’re going to be tear gassed and beaten, it will be fine. By all means be reasonably cautious, but this is not a black bloc event okay? It’s fine.

Continued (mis)use of National Guard in DC for no purpose in the third week of a shutdown.

The Trump at work. (Doing nothing.)

Two National Guard down a mostly empty 14th St mid-day Friday.

The Mission: Doing not much.

Three National Guard pass The Mission on 14th.

found on Criterion last night: Any Number Can Win, a clever, breezy French heist flick about an ex-con who pulls one last job with a stupidly hot accomplice (Alain Delon obvs) boxd.it/boA1j5

A ★★★★ review of Any Number Can Win (1963)

Delightful early 60s caper about that one last score. And as always Alain Delon is stupidly hot.

this white house actively treats a large swath of americans as disloyal and outside the political community and it doesn’t merit so much as a peep from the political press

“Deplorables” was a scandal for years and she wasn’t even in the government yet. This is the White House Press Secretary, whose salary is paid by the American public.
