Destructive jerks get space in our faces just because somebody thinks they have money. It's the ultimate punchline of the DFT years: They thought he had money.

Just to review, in the last week the President of the United States:
- Refused to condemn the rise of Neo-Nazis in his party
- Tried to block the release of further evidence he sexually abused children
- Encouraged the execution of Congressional Democrats
Those are just factual statements.

the Harvard Crimson called Epstein a “child sex offender” while the Chronicle of Higher Ed called him a “disgraced financier” and that pretty much sums up where we are with higher ed journalism

Tubi has Proctor & Bergman's classic J-MEN FOREVER now, and I recommend that. For the best effect, you shouldn't see it coming. Have a friend start it going and pretend you're stumbling over it on USA Network's Night Flight. Unequalled fake dialog that fits lip movements.

the thing about Trump is he’s sort of a coward and actually issuing the order to arrest the opposition would be a little too much for him, he’s far more likely to do “will no one ride me of this meddling priest?” type shit to his followers I think and then pardon after the fact

Kash Patel's personal firing of the Pride flag-displaying employee was always absurd and unconstitutional, so I'm glad David Maltinsky is suing, but, wait.
It was a flag FLOWN BY THE FBI that was given to him BY THE FBI?! Come on.

Complaint: storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...
![On October 1, 2025, after successfully completing 16 weeks of the FBI Academy's
19-week training program, Maltinsky was handed a letter terminating his employment with the
FBI. The letter was signed by Defendant Patel ("Patel"). In the letter, Patel wrote that he had
"determined that [Maltinsky] exercised poor judgment with an inappropriate display of political signage in [his] work area during [his] previous assignment at the Los Angeles Field Office." In short, Patel fired Maltinsky for displaying a pride flag at his workstation that had been flown by the FBI at the LAFO and then given by the FBI to Maltinsky.
The Defendants' discrimination against Maltinsky for engaging in protected speech
was a clear and brazen violation of federal law and the Constitution.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:36eqtmzysqf7wsslczw4uxcd/bafkreid5rog4gjpv3qeneunmoyqxoesnuxac2srp3u6ppnjdxphfv7jcoe@jpeg)

So far we have successfully cost the NYT $60,000 in annual subscription revenue over Bret Stephens' horrible column. A drop in the bucket for them, but it's important to exact a price for pushing war propaganda.

I can see it now. Starting in about a year, there'll be an official announcement from the govt: "We've run out of pennies, and we need three of you to turn in your gigantic glass penny jars to keep it going."
We'll hear this every six to eight weeks.
