oh look, I managed to write 1,251 words and quite purposely never once mention the middle east — so let me do so down here in the comments.

I'm happy there's a ceasefire in place, I'm happy the surviving hostages have been returned, and I'm happy that Palestinians are currently not being used for target practice.

but let's get real. the media currently slobbering all over Dear Leader's ass need to get some perspective.

none of the people involved in this ceasefire can be trusted. not Donny, not Bibi, and not the leadership of Hamas. it's only matter of time before this *latest* ceasefire is breached.

Check out María Corina Machado’s politics. She wants to be Trump’s BFF, dedicated her Peace Prize to him, favors foreign intervention in Venezuela, very far right. What was the Nobel Prize Committee thinking? What idiots! No understanding of the history of imperialism in Latin America. There wasn’t anyone else in the world to give the PEACE Prize to? Maybe someone who doesn’t advocate for armed foreign intervention in their own country? 🤯 Oh, yeah, and she’s in favor of privatizing Venezuela’s oil industry.

Donny asks for an inappropriate pardon for BIBI, praised Abdel Fattah el-Sisi, also inappropriate and timed, for his "crime situation".

Because if he has crime "he puts it out very quickly and we're(we who? the Miller in his pocket)very proud of them" meaning he might be speaking of the post el-Sisi coup, in 2013, that led to mass protests in Rabaa Square and al-Nahda Square.

The Rabaa Square protests met 800 deaths by el-Sisi's Armed forced and snipers, expecting far more deaths into the thousands.

The Rabaa massacre in which el-Sisi traumatized the people of Egypt, by mass terror, no accountability for his human rights violations, and had crystalized his regime of oppression and normalized a state of terror to justify it, is a playbook of murder and control not an accomplishment to be complimented .

Carl Schmitt sure did influence those, with psychopathic need, who terrorize by the same playbook, Egypt in "Terrorist Entities Law" (2015) and in P2025 and EO "NSPM-7" (2025) and "Designating Antifa as a Terrorist Organization"(2025).

I used to think imitation was a form of flattery. Now I view it as a lack of one's ability to be different, creative and see and discern right from wrong and to rise above or sink below the depths of depravity they witness and wish for a better OR more violent outcome as one can't have both.

This is, what SM and DJT are trying here, a surveillance-carceral-epistemic state, enforced through violence by hallowing out our democracy.

Not adding to your above comments about the situation but how complimenting these "strong" yet pathetically weak apathetic joyless "strongmen" is not only horrifying, not to mention is reality, but also fantasy in a sick fuck's mind, per glorified praise, legacy media and right wing outlets and his own sycophants, spew.

The more I learn the less I doubt he's not, in his words, "heaven bound".

I haven't met that author or developer quite yet, as no one alive has, yet here, on this earth, this man sickens me to my core. They all do.

2 of a 20 point plan is par but I doubt that the other 18, or possibly 19, will be accomplished.

It is certainly a day to work through a "true both sides" as hostages coming home is gut wrenching, to watch, as they are HUMAN BEINGS but, arguably a feeling of complete disgust and anger, as some arrive in body bags, others arrive to a shattered world where their safety, human rights, crimes against them, their suffering relieved, their fear and uncertainty to the depravity they have endured, is no less guaranteed, today, as any other past day and will continue to find remains and still have no "home" and no "self-determination".

On a lighter note, yet really not, it should have been called McMeal Team Six!!!

Be safe out there.

I almost got trapped into feeling sorry for the rather portly Texas National Guardsmen--except.....

Then I remembered that they are not there to help or protect anyone: they're in Chicago to terrorize the residents and aid the Jan.6 ICE thugs in brutalizing immigrants, protestors, and basically anyone who breathes oxygen. They are there to aid and abet Donnie Demento and President Nosferatu in their plan to declare the Insurrection Act is in effect; Demento has already endorsed the use of "full force."

So I'm not really that concerned about the precious feelings of the Round Boy Brigade. They need to go home, and then no one would need say another word about their literal Roll Out.

I don't normally comment, but at this moment I feel I need to. I feel very bad for these national guardsmen. They have, they are representative of a horrendous secretary of defenses abuse of our military. These six men have become a butt of jokes throughout the entire country. This is not okay to me. For all we know these guys have been there in disaster zones, saving people saving animals, we really just don't know. And these men have to live for the rest of their lives with this ridicule. I understand the anger about Trump sending the military into our cities and I know very well that there are those in there, the fascist fucks who enjoy it. But I truly believe that the majority do not. So unless a specific person, like specific ice agents draw my wrath and ridicule, I think I am going to lay off jokes at these people's expense.

Solid gold, Uncle Jeff: "weird how everything our fucked-up government does these days, the Nazis did first. I’m sure it’s just a coincidence."

Petey probably has that Nazi poster taped to the ceiling over his bed, so he can..........enjoy it on a nightly basis.

Wow, could the press actually growing back some guts?

As for Kegstand, he'll always be a wannabe man and fail every time he tries.

We never tire of that clip of Kegstand hitting himself in the nuts. It is golden.

Why doesn't Pilsner Pete call for the firing of the most obese president since William Howard Taft?

Excellent question. It does look like the Orange slime has lost weight. Hopefully it is due to a fatal disease. Time will tell.

Spanx are pretty uncomfortable over a diaper, I’m told.

It is ASTOUNDING how lawless the Fascist Cult is. Federal judge orders aren’t considered QUALIFIED for THEM. But what can we expect from released J6 Seditionists? I live in Chicago.

Does ANYONE trust the ceasefire will remain in effect. ALL Israeli hostages were released. Playing cards gone. Two sets of criminals, orange Felon & Netanyahu! Sure they’re honest. 🙄And Putin, pretending to cry over diaper baby not getting Nobel Peace Prize! The man who named Department of DEFENSE, Department of WAR. 🤔 And no prize! 😭🍼🍊

The MAGAt party treats the public as a group of ignorant rubes. But for a large portion, it works. That's why we are where we are now. I fear Noem's blatant misuse of government resources will be effective with those less than aware citizens. I would hope that the TSA folks do what my TSA does- the videos of her play but the sound is either off or inaudible.

They shouldn’t show her at all. Muzzle the entire thing.

No argument there. But she is their boss so it's complicated

This is sure to do wonders for retention and recruitment! Hic!Seth is far, far above his station in life. But some people are just lucky like that.

That Dogkiller video is foul. And again getting to display propaganda using neutral government assets is fucked up. Just watch Murc's Law work!

My local airport refused to play the video reportedly, so good on them.

Just for clarification -- some of those National Guard members had mustaches. Did Kegsbreath ban all facial hair, or only beards for Black men who need them for health reasons?
