I could have written a whole post just about Donny's press conference. he's so fucking batshit. at one point he was asked if he would attend the funeral of the slain trooper, and his answer was to bloviate about how popular he is in West Virginia
Your comment is spot on. I read a substack article a few months back (author’s name escapes me ) about Miller’s perceived difficult life as a teenager and his inability to “fit in” with his peers.
You can just tell he got pantsed every day in high school. And his butt was red raw from all the wedgies. He is a sad sack. A loser. A self loathing prick who, by virtue of a lot of ass licking and spray on hair, became "powerful". What good is that to anyone when your own family is disgusted by you? I can picture him and the useless cow of a wife sitting alone yesterday saying "Yeah, this is great. Just the two of us.. Who needs friends and family and love? Let's go torture and disappear some immigrants! "
What? Like jews, like him? Wow, he is a sick self-hating jewboy. I can't wait for him to land on the dustbin of history. He is a shame to his people. A shonda.
Notice Muslim countries aren't accepting batches of deported illegal immigrant Christians we righteously send out on planes like garbage barges to other parts of the world. Because ... cultural contamination?
Plus, they have their own problems. They don't have to send people out on planes, because unless they are enlightened Muslim countries, they just kill people they don't want. See Saudi Arabian Prince and Jamal Khashoggi.
The only place for him is on the Space Ex contraption, along with Musk, Trump, Mrs Trump and the little Trumpies, the Cabinet, MAGA Mike and the other miscreants, on a one-way flight to Mars.
Does anyone else notice how the Orange Turd has chosen self-hating Jews as key advisors at critical junctures? First it was Roy Cohn, now it's Miller. Wondering if like Cohn Miller also is closeted.
BTW the problem is the denial not the being. Just saying
There’s Lutnick, Kushner, Friedman (ambassador to Israel), Zeldin (EPA), and the absolutely stupid, but traitorous Witkoff, who you can add to the list.
I called him that because I knew that it was unacceptable, just as he is. He has given up all rights to the tribe. Sorry if I offended you but I sincerely meant to offend Herr Miller.
This is why I call the MAGAs the New American Nazi party. If he acts like a Nazi and talks like a Nazi, then that is what it is. Miller is sickening. First of all, there is nothing civilized about DTs reign. It is the opposite. Same with Miller.
Stephen Miller is a Jew, a group that got shitted on all the way up the social ladder. Now that he's in the WH he's shitting on everyone still climbing that ladder. Jeff Tiedrich is a Jew, but he doesn't seem to be very much like Stephen Miller. Clearly, there is something wrong about Jeff (thank God)!
A lot of immigrant groups, including the Irish and Italians, were considered "not-white" when they first came to the country, but within a generation, they allied themselves with the "white" part of the population because it was more advantageous that aligning with Blacks and Latinos. Miller wants to make sure that despite descending from Eastern European Jews, he's considered just as white as the whitest Alabama cracker.
There were Jewish Nazis in Germany who turned on their friends and family to save themselves. Many were killed and/or prosecuted during the Nuremberg trials and in Poland.
Well, I’m a West Virginian and I’m not sure my culture is compatible with Western Civilization, either. But there are plenty of WVians who can’t abide Trump!
Ordinarily I get angry when someone uses Nazi analogies for someone who is Jewish but I make an exception for Stephen Miller. He's been publicly denounced by his own uncle and childhood rabbi.
If we survive this authoritarian regime, there will not be enough time or hard drive space to itemize the endless lies, crimes and outright craziness this cult has vomited out upon this country and the world. Where does one 🤔 even start and where would one end 🤔, assuming it does, indeed, end. And, thus, that is what wakes me up in cold sweats at night, the thoughts that my grandchild and all toddlers everywhere will live their entire lives under this madness.
The day I saw Trump, during a 2015 campaign rally, physically and deliberately mock a disabled journalist, was the day I knew there was something very, very wrong with that man. And the fact that he denied and never apologized for his conduct......I said, "The gods help our nation if he's ever put in the White House." And now here we are, with the most xenophobic, lie-filled, insulting, selfish, vengeful, willfully ignorant President in our beloved country's history.
We Americans who understand the significance and principals of our Constitution and its Democracy, are often put in a vise between one jaw, the ruthless chaos of a tyrant, and the other jaw, his well-meaning supporters, some who we once regarded with affection and trust. The crossbar handle is turned by the history of willful ignorance and discontent.
I saw that Eric Swalwell is suing Pulte for his absurd and legally suspect charges involving mortgage fraud . In that vein , aren't all of these assistants , cabinet members , staff cronies to Trump always wide open to a law suit ?? Someone must have a sold case they could bring against Stephen Miller , RFK Jr. et al . They do not enjoy blanket immunity from the Supreme Court .
Yes he will . But if they face a trial before a judge and maybe a jury , they will be forced to answer questions under oath publicly . RFK Jr. would fail miserably ; with each time he speaks , he sounds more and more like Jim Ignatowski .
Sharing whenever seeing that toilet rat mentioned. From 10 months ago, but incredibly well researched and wickedly funny. Hysteria is probably the best at what they do, especially their 'This Fucing Guy' series.
While the whole situation is messed up, I need to share a missing important thing no one is talking about.
I’m a Veterans Service Officer — and there’s a critical piece from the benefits side:
A federal judge already blocked Trump’s attempt to federalize the Guard over a week ago. Those troops were supposed to be released.
Any Guard there now — or in the future — are there outside the bounds of that order.
And here’s the part most people don’t realize:
Guard members on state activation (Title 32) don’t automatically qualify for VA disability or survivor benefits.
If something happens, their families could be left with limited or no federal protections or any survivor benefits — even getting a funeral paid for by the VA. They’re then forced to sue civilly.
The Guard is a militia for states is why. They are not federalized.
So this isn’t just wasteful or reckless —
it puts service members and their families at legal and financial risk for a political stunt.
The laws aren’t there just for Mad Kings to not use Guard against the people — they are there to ensure benefits and coverage are allowed for when shit goes sideways — with possible loss of life or limb.
They should have never been there. And that’s why the judge ruled it illegal and no federalization.
Well ain't that just the teenager's cherry on top of the shit sundae. Thanks for the info. Now I can be even more pissed off. Which is better than being pissed on, I guess.
That rule applies only when troops are federalized on Title 10 orders.
These Guard members were never federalized at all because a federal judge blocked the order on Thursday.
They stayed under Title 32 state militia authority, where VA disability and survivor benefits are not automatically triggered, regardless of how many days they served.
That’s why this is so dangerous for families — their protections depend entirely on duty status, and the state chose to keep them deployed anyway.
I doubt that Trump knows or understands any of that. He is a narcissist who only see value in people if he can use them to his benefit all other people are simply worthless.
He simply doesn't care about any of it. He sees the National Guard units as game pieces, not human lives.
He thinks his power justifies all. He doesn't think of "fallout" because he doesn't care to learn since it doesn't effect him personally. That is why he answered "I haven't even thought about that" when asked by a reporter today if he would be attending her funeral.
Very well said. The day I saw Trump, during a 2015 campaign rally, physically and deliberately mock a disabled journalist, was the day I knew there was something very, very wrong with that man. And the fact that he denied and never apologized for his conduct......I said, "The gods help our nation if he's ever put in the White House. And now here we are, with the most xenophobic, lie-filled, insulting, selfish, vengeful, willfully ignorant President in our beloved country's history.
This is an important reminder. Thank you for writing this, Unity. Civilians see Nat'l Guard troops and think "Oh, they're covered for everything." Nope.
Exactly. People should be even more enraged and sounding all the alarms that Sarah Beckstrom not only got killed as a political pawn, but now her family may be footing the entire bill for her funeral as well.
And if the other Guardsman survives, he will be impaired for life and technically ineligible for VA compensation for his injuries.
Yes — being on state (Title 32) orders, her family is not automatically covered for the bill.
National Guard members don’t qualify for VHA health care unless they’ve had prior federal active-duty service or were injured on Title 10 orders — Title 32 state militia status doesn’t trigger federal medical or survivor benefits.
Sarah was only in for 2 years. It is highly unlikely she ever received such orders.
The VHA and VBA aren’t perfect, but dismantling or privatizing them would be disastrous for millions of veterans who rely on care and compensation the private sector simply can’t provide.
The VA is also one of the nation’s largest engines of medical research — gutting it would set veteran care and national health research back decades.
Those poor people. Their beautiful 20 year-old daughter signs on for another 5 week duty in DC, and comes home in a flag-draped box. This death is on only one person: trump. God/hamberders/lunacy: please take him soon. 😢
I cannot stand to see this prick speak very intentionally to women reporters this way. And it's not him getting heated and accusing them of lying or not doing their job. There always has to be a thick layer of misogyny on top...calling them "piggy" or "ugly." Always a dig at appearance. I look at those women in those clips and think, how do you not say "Go FUCK yourself" and walk out of the room? But what can the press do? If they talk back, Fuckface will ban their news outlet from the press pool (maybe temporarily, maybe permanently), the reporter would lose their job, and would probably not get another one easily. And the fewer and fewer news outlets that are keeping their eyes on this Nazi shithead is worse for us. There's got to be a way for the press to push back on this asshole, but not lose their jobs over it.
The day I saw Trump, during a 2015 campaign rally, physically and deliberately mock a disabled journalist, was the day I knew there was something very, very wrong with that man. And the fact that he denied and never apologized for his conduct......I said, "The gods help our nation if he's ever put in the White House." And now here we are, with the most xenophobic, lie-filled, insulting, selfish, vengeful, willfully ignorant President in our beloved country's history.
The man could be asked about gravity and he’d pivot to crowd sizes. It’s like watching a malfunctioning GPS that only reroutes to “me, myself, and West Virginia.” The level of disassociation would be funny if it weren’t happening on the job description that includes comforting the families of the dead.
Thanks for another awesome post about our shameful fool in charge & complicit administration. Tragic about the tragedies that befell two NG in DC, who shouldn’t have been there per judge’s order. The blood is on the hands of those who disobeyed that order. Special thanks to you for momentarily lightning it up with reference to the cringing couch cushions. Almost blew out my 3rd cup of coffee. Looking forward that JD et al face The Hague sooner than later.
in case anyone's wondering how my braised short rib risotto came out, it was great. but it took six hours to make. not a dish you can cook up on a casual whim
👍🏼 Brussels with an "s" / 👍🏼 Loyal to the mushrooms in your risotto recipe. Stick around, please ❤️ (I do like Brussels sprouts, but mushrooms have no rival in risotto.)
I lived in the mountains for many years. We always kept oil lamps within reach because the electricity was bound to go out at some point. Thanks for the memories.
We live pretty far out in the country in the Upper Peninsula. We do have a wood stove so we stayed warm, and we keep a stock of candles and oil lamps. It's a 140-year-old farmhouse, and it occurred to me during the night that a wood stove and candlelight was the situation every night in this old house not that long ago.
We live up in the foothills of the White Mountains and we lose power frequently...so yes, we have oil lamps (we heat with wood anyway) for outages. If the outage goes more than 12 hours we will fire up the generator, mostly for water and to keep things in the fridge safe.
I agree. Since we are not in the US, my husband, daughter and I will be celebrating our "holiday meal" sans Turkey at a nice German restaurant in our neighborhood on Saturday evening. It will be pitch dark outside, as it gets very dark here by 4:30 pm, and the restaurant has a fireplace. I hope we get to sit near it.
It is already evening here, and dark out, and my daughter has a paper that she has to post by midnight. So, no going out tonight. She has run down all of the reading and presentation prep she needs to do while here, and in between we will celebrate in the way that Americans abroad do, by accommodating to our circumstances.
We had a rather late midday meal since her train was delayed by 2 events, one being something on the tracks, and then someone on her train needing medical attention. So, she should be getting some money back from Deutsche Bahn. She did say that her train was filled with elderly people. Germany is filled with retired people like me, and like my husband soon will be. People over 60 make up 29.8% of the population, and yet a Vollidiot like German Chancellor Merz wants to cut down the immigration, much like Trump, his hero in many things, though not Ukraine. Anyway, when she told us that someone needed medical attention I thought about her saying the train was full of old people.
The past two TGs, I made venison medallions over wild rice, and the next year, baked stuffed whole red snapper. This year, it was just the two of us, so leftovers 😂.
We are becoming so....Went to my sister's for Thanksgiving and she had a beautiful pork roast! It was delicious! She says she hates turkey now, after years of her husband, a traditionalist, insisted they have a turkey for the holiday.
Where the hell is seal team six , Cheney etc to march this MF into jail, lunny bin, with his band of suck up sycophants carrying out his WACKED OUT orders. SOMETHIN GOTTA GIVE WITH THE ORANGE IDIOT HELD TOGETHER BY GLUE, DRUGS AND FAT FROM MICKY DEES!!
I’m beyond anger. But for the love of all that is holy or at least for the sake of their profession or their stones or whatever can’t the WH press corps at least SPEAK THE FUCK UP?!!!
What, exactly, do they stand to lose? They'll be barred from the Bordello Office? Someone, quick--explain how and why that would be so awfully bad: the reporters could all go home and write scandalous books about how utterly disgusting Donnie Demento is.
Didn’t everyone read Letter from a Birmingham Jail?
I fail to understand what they hope to gain by surrendering their personal and professional dignity. Muhammad Ali went to prison, missed some of the most productive years of his prime.
Thom Hartman wrote a column today about how publishers and pamphleteers restrained John Adams when he tried to be an autocrat. A close parallel with today, except Adams wasn't a sociopath.
I am so disheartened by Preznut saying what he is saying to the female reporters without any backlash, for God sakes somebody call him out, otherwise letting him get away with this, it will seep into normal everyday activity. So much for using the President as a shiny star!!!!
Jeff's unclaimed reward for the reporter who asks, "What the fuck is wrong with you?" should be claimed. I think when Trump goes into abuse mode, every reporter in the room should turn around and walk out. Sadly, the room has been partially stocked with sycophantic "reporters" who would never offend The King.
The problem is so much of our best journalistic MSM talent spoke up, were subsequently retaliated against and fired, and are now being blacklisted across the board by all corporate media outlets. Jim Acosta, Ann Telnaes, etc... all doing podcasts and self-publishing for a fraction of their former income and audience reach. This is a fascistic country.
Yeah , every reporter who has been mistreated or banished lives somewhere in a US state --so who is their US Rep and Senators ? And why are they silent ?
Even in those insane conditions, we are responsible for standing up for basic decency and against bullies. Careerism and weakness, nah, not legit excuses. If they’re not mature enough to recognize this, they aren’t fit for purpose.
The blood of this young woman is on Tubbo's hands. The Guard was court-ordered to leave DC a week ago. This was a death that didn't need to happen. Now 500 more Troops. Do we jump in and start a civil war, or are we just going to let him have at it? No rules, no justice system, no Congress... just let him do whatever he wants? Time to take him out, and I mean out, and the entire group of dumbbells in the cabinet. I still don't get why the fuck people are afraid of him. Get it together, Congress, and tell him to fuck off.
Investigate what??? They lie like they breathe and nothing ever happens, because Trump is running a dictatorship....yes, that's what it is. We may have a Congress, a justice department, etc, but it's all moot because this lunatic is calling all the shots.
Well, actually, the handlers back in the shadows are calling the shots. Rump just parrots whatever they tell him to and signs whatever is put in front of him.
CA, there are a lot of stupid and ambitious people hanging around the corridors of power. Their ambition calculations are constantly bouncing around in their heads. IF the calculations come out on the side of the equation that's against trump, we'll see a mass exodus of support. But, this may not happen.....
Yes, it's more like 77 million apathetic losers who will be out shopping and running their cards to the max, only to wake up in January and not know what happened. They are fucking asleep until it comes to them. They lose their jobs, can't pay their bills, get sick, and cannot afford their health insurance..... it's coming.
I get it, but how can the Republicans who have taken an oath to protect and defend the people who elected them, sit and do nothing.. I am hoping for some big backlash when they return. If not they go down with him, and their legacy is ruined.
Yep, that's why this death happened because Trump can't just abide by a court decision saying he's plainly violating the law, not without fighting it up to the Supremes and expecting them to let him get away with it.
I wonder when--if ever--one of these madcap genuises (including the press corps) is going to explore the idea that this guy "went cuckoo" when he got wind of how the President Nosferatu Miller administration wanted to expel all Afghan refugees from the US, whether or not they had been granted asylum, were here legally, and/or had been rescued from their country because they'd sacrificed everything in order to aid the US military and CIA. Let's all pause and imagine what the Taliban has planned for the "repatriated."
Obviously, not an excuse for his heinous crime.....but, maybe, in a rational world, we could try to grasp a reason that would help us avert a repeat of this?
Thank you for making that important point. As part of a CIA death squad in Afghanistan, the man's life was in permanent danger in his own homeland, along with all family members. He probably spent years petitioning for legal asylum, was vetted by the NSA and CIA, and given legal residence six months ago. No doubt treated like unholy shit all the way. So, America, we broke it, we own it.
Same reasoning in trump's infant unformed brain as across-the-board tariffs on every country irregardless of their export policies or impact on import prices. I suppose his second 'thought' will be completely irrelevant 1,000% tariffs on Afghanistan, even though this shooter was a Taliban opponent.
These people risked it all for the US and promised to take them in when no matter what. Just put him in jail then give him a proper trial, we could learn something.
The suspect, if returned to the Taliban, would quickly suffer a most unpleasant death. Many of those who got out of the country because they had assisted American troops would also suffer horrific deaths if returned. With Trump planning invasions of whoever seems like a likely target, and with the lack of appreciation the Trumpies are showing for those who helped US troops in the past, good luck finding locals to help US troops with their new invasions.
It's amazingly timely that a CIA trained assassin from Afghanistan shot (maybe killed?) 2 National Guards in Washington DC close to the White House just as Orange Julius needed a distraction - again - from Epstein and the Economy. So here's a distraction that also gives Nosferatu a great opportunity to get more brown people out of the country, and bring more NG units to Washington DC, and I wouldn't trust a single thing that anybody in the White House says about this whole maneuver.
Maybe the shooter will be "killed" and never seen again, going on to live a life of ease. Another successful CIA operation. Fuck Trump and release the Epstein files.
I meant that he would disappear, and CIA would say that he died in custody or some such nonsense. He probably volunteered for this job to secure his family's future. He has a wife and three children. Wife says she hasn't seen him in months. Was he training with the CIA, his former employer? Who knows?
You are going exactly where my mind has been going on a number of things, like the so called "assignation attempts"!!! I would not be the least bit surprised to learn that payoffs have been involved.
There was a time when we could dismiss out of hand any allegations that this was a set-up job to create an atmosphere for further repression. The fact that with this regime, it's not just a wacko conspiracy theory shows how far the country has fallen.
I wish she would taser him, and they should all be filing lawsuits against him for slander and sexual harassment. I think it is getting to be enough female journalists for a class action.
I wish she would have asked him" WHY DO YOU CALL ME STUPID"? FINGER IN HIS EYE. I would not allow this piece of shit ,masquerading as a billionaire president, talk to me like that...never
The utter cowardice of the press is horrific. I wonder if they would remain silent if Trump was insulting male reporters instead of women. Little bit of sexism there, folks?
It makes me think of the time Dan Rather asked President Nixon a pointed question at a news conference, and Nixon replied, “Are you running for something, Dan?” and Dan Rather responded with “No, Mr. President. Are you?”
The cowardice is embedded at the top of corporate media. Look at all the extortion in millions of dollars paid by CBS, ABC, WaPo, Disney, etc. to the most powerful sack of shit in the world. The owners and editorial boards of each MSM corporation should step forward and tell the fucker to back off on his ad hominem attacks and name-calling targeting their journalists. But no, they want to dance in his big, beautiful ballroom one day.
300 guardsmen or 500 more. So 800 national guard with zero, absolutely ZERO law enforcement training thrown into DC or whatever other city Trump decides to invade. Just out of curiosity, I googled the # of sworn members of the DC police force: 3400. Adding 500 untrained people to the mix does essentially nothing. They don’t know the law, they don’t know the people and neigborhoods, and certainly don’t know the individuals most likely to be engaged in criminal activity. Are you gonna send the guard to oh, let’s say for example, a domestic dispute? What are they going to do besides rake and pick up trash?
This is what you get when troops are deployed by a guy who has spent his entire life circumventing the law, ripping off subcontractors, and bullying anyone who would let him. Trump has zero understanding of crime, law enforcement and punishment.
So,two people shot and he permanently halts all immigration, but thousands of school children shot and we repeal laws that stop violent or mental people from getting guns. Okay, makes sense.
This tragedy is 100% the fault of Trump and Republicans. Trump granted the gunman asylum. Bush's illegal war for oil and empire led him to be trained. Trump's bullshit withdrawal deal with the Taliban led to his need to flee to the USA to begin with. Trump stripped the FBI of many of its counterterrorism agents so they could chase down landscapers and housemaids. Trump sent the WV National Guard to DC to wag his tiny dick at the Democratic mayor. And Republicans have spent decades making sure that the country is awash in guns. So Trump, Vance, Patel, Bondi and Pirro can all just fuck right off.
I can tell you didn’t read the ‘demlab’ post above, the Nazis did it, blame all of a group for the actions of one. Isn’t that guilt by association? We have laws and adjudications so follow them.
No, I didn't, so what? Explain to me exactly what is wrong with my assessment? Or do you take offense at the fact that elected Republicans, on the payroll of the NRA, have blocked any attempt at meaningful gun control for the past 30 years? Shit, they even blocked action after the murder of babies at Sandy Hook.
I like your post first I gave it a like, here’s the part that we maybe have a slight problem with: The Wall Street Journal condemned Donald Trump’s “collective punishment” of Afghans after the fatal ambush on National Guard members in D.C., urging the White House not to use the actions of one person to target thousands of others. After Wednesday’s attack Trump immediately cast the shooting as validation for a purge of immigrants from the country. - Daily Beast
Collective punishment penalizes a whole group for the acts of an individual suspected to be part of the group, even though most of the people hurt had nothing to do with the act.
It is considered a war crime. - Intl. Committee Of The Red Cross (ICRC)
Collective punishment includes sanctions against a group in retaliation for an act committed by an individual and targets people who bear no responsibility for having committed the act.
That’s it. I don’t want to start a war with you, we would have to have dopey step in and then he would have 9 wars he stopped in his last brain cell.
The problem is that the people who watch Fox News will never know that it was the Trump administration that admitted the Afgan who murdered the National Guard soldier, because they will never broadcast that. We know people who watch Fox News from morning until night, & sadly, they live in a comfortable fact free world. They have heard nothing about Trump's meme coins or the fancy dinner he held for the high rollers, or his bending the knee to the Saudi leader MBS, or the pro Russia peace plan for Ukraine.
It has been self-evident for sometime that collective guilt has been part of the repressive program. I first thought of the Nazi reaction to Heydrich’s killing in Czechoslovakia during the Second World War.
I could have written a whole post just about Donny's press conference. he's so fucking batshit. at one point he was asked if he would attend the funeral of the slain trooper, and his answer was to bloviate about how popular he is in West Virginia
oh, and I completely missed this, from Nosferatu McGoebbels —
"Stephen Miller is now arguing that assimilation is fundamentally impossible and that certain cultures are not compatible with Western civilization"
https://bsky.app/profile/publius24.bsky.social/post/3m6o4urfaas23
racist says what?
Perhaps miller is talking about the difficulty he has obviously had in assimilating into Western civilization from wherever he originated.

He’s like the alien that emerges from its host, snarling and covered with slime. Reference: Sigourney Weaver “Alien” franchise
God, I loved the first two Alien films. They went downhill after that.

😂😂. Right. He needs to go back to the bat cave from whence he came.
We need bats, but we DON'T need him.
True enough! 👍🏻
Don't insult Batman and real bats...
But only if the bats are rabid.
From some planet that does not have humans.
Your comment is spot on. I read a substack article a few months back (author’s name escapes me ) about Miller’s perceived difficult life as a teenager and his inability to “fit in” with his peers.
You can just tell he got pantsed every day in high school. And his butt was red raw from all the wedgies. He is a sad sack. A loser. A self loathing prick who, by virtue of a lot of ass licking and spray on hair, became "powerful". What good is that to anyone when your own family is disgusted by you? I can picture him and the useless cow of a wife sitting alone yesterday saying "Yeah, this is great. Just the two of us.. Who needs friends and family and love? Let's go torture and disappear some immigrants! "
Gee, I wonder why??
We may never know the complete origin story of Stephen Miller. Slime mold is found everywhere on Earth, including the walking, talking forms.
i think he’s from Transylvania
15th century Wallachia, to be exact!
I take exception to that--vampire bats can assimilate with human beings.
Most all species of bats are very beneficial to our planet's eco-system. Where as Trump, Miller, and the rest of the regime, are set to destroy it.
You mean Mordor?
Yes, I suppose if he came from 15th century Romania to present day America, it would be hard to assimilate.

What? Like jews, like him? Wow, he is a sick self-hating jewboy. I can't wait for him to land on the dustbin of history. He is a shame to his people. A shonda.
I think Miller should be deported to South Sudan when all is said and done.
Notice Muslim countries aren't accepting batches of deported illegal immigrant Christians we righteously send out on planes like garbage barges to other parts of the world. Because ... cultural contamination?
Plus, they have their own problems. They don't have to send people out on planes, because unless they are enlightened Muslim countries, they just kill people they don't want. See Saudi Arabian Prince and Jamal Khashoggi.
Waltz Macabre”
Crookedness, evil, avarice reign,
A family fortune in a nation’s name.
“Stuff happens,” he shrugs at a butcher’s hack,
Quietly dashing inconvenient facts.
A citizen silenced, the world aghast,
But division trumpets: Outrage won’t last.
Hear warped music of muted shame,
A trio gathers in retched fame.
Corruption slicks the pavilion floor,
Xenophobia shouts out the door,
Ignorance sweeps the truth aside,
They begin to dance, in a hell stained slide.
Round and round the ballroom spins,
Selling futures, counting sins,
Three dark partners, hand in hand,
Waltzing justice off the land.
South Sudan has enough problems without that.
The only place for him is on the Space Ex contraption, along with Musk, Trump, Mrs Trump and the little Trumpies, the Cabinet, MAGA Mike and the other miscreants, on a one-way flight to Mars.

Does anyone else notice how the Orange Turd has chosen self-hating Jews as key advisors at critical junctures? First it was Roy Cohn, now it's Miller. Wondering if like Cohn Miller also is closeted.
BTW the problem is the denial not the being. Just saying
Miller is a Butt Nazi.
There’s Lutnick, Kushner, Friedman (ambassador to Israel), Zeldin (EPA), and the absolutely stupid, but traitorous Witkoff, who you can add to the list.
As far as I know none of the men you listed are self haters or in denial of their sexuality. My comment was NOT intended to be an antisemitic screed.
No, he likes bulls.
Jew ( not jewboy) would have been sufficient.
I called him that because I knew that it was unacceptable, just as he is. He has given up all rights to the tribe. Sorry if I offended you but I sincerely meant to offend Herr Miller.
I came here to see if anyone mentioned his ahem heritage. Thanks, with a pox on Miller.
Thank you.
Miller is really Sméagol, also known as Gollum. A sick fuck. Not worthy of a being a human. Looking forward to him being gone or dead.
He’s drek.
This is why I call the MAGAs the New American Nazi party. If he acts like a Nazi and talks like a Nazi, then that is what it is. Miller is sickening. First of all, there is nothing civilized about DTs reign. It is the opposite. Same with Miller.

No Kings! No kings! No kings!, we cry,
Here throughout the land,
Our stalwart mission rings aloud,
Autocrats will not stand!
The Constitution guides us still,
Through shadows and through strife,
It calls us back to liberty,
The heartbeat of our life!
Thrones and crowns and kings alike,
The warning signs we face,
Our love of country sees clearly,
Authoritarian ruthless shame:
Both red and blue we gather now,
Drawn by equality’s flame,
Our common voice we raise in song,
For the USA!
“No King! No kings! No kings!” we cry,
Here throughout the land,
Our stalwart mission rings aloud,
Fascism will not stand!
Through trials, storms, and sacrifice,
This vision still holds true,
Democracy’s enduring light,
Belongs to me and you!
Stephen Miller is a Jew, a group that got shitted on all the way up the social ladder. Now that he's in the WH he's shitting on everyone still climbing that ladder. Jeff Tiedrich is a Jew, but he doesn't seem to be very much like Stephen Miller. Clearly, there is something wrong about Jeff (thank God)!
Donny Dachau is as classless as it comes- one of his hideous
qualities - there is no human alive with any less decency.
What a P-I-G
Even swine are more civilized than Donny. Donny is more like a rabid rat.
Pigs are admirable creatures---no need to insult them.
Miller is the antithesis of Jewish values.
He is the antithesis of any and all human values.
A lot of immigrant groups, including the Irish and Italians, were considered "not-white" when they first came to the country, but within a generation, they allied themselves with the "white" part of the population because it was more advantageous that aligning with Blacks and Latinos. Miller wants to make sure that despite descending from Eastern European Jews, he's considered just as white as the whitest Alabama cracker.
Yes, although a sh-tload of white Alabamans are smarter and more progressive than Stephen Miller.
Don’t forget Nazi aid-ers and abettors AG Sulzberger and Joseph Khan of the New York Times 👿
There were Jewish Nazis in Germany who turned on their friends and family to save themselves. Many were killed and/or prosecuted during the Nuremberg trials and in Poland.
He needs to be tried for crimes against humanity. Whatta hateful POS. 🙄
I agree with you 100%!
Well, I’m a West Virginian and I’m not sure my culture is compatible with Western Civilization, either. But there are plenty of WVians who can’t abide Trump!
Not enough!
Yet…😉
Ordinarily I get angry when someone uses Nazi analogies for someone who is Jewish but I make an exception for Stephen Miller. He's been publicly denounced by his own uncle and childhood rabbi.
Look up Group 13. Warsaw. Also: Ans van Dijk, Stella Goldschlag and Betje Wery.
They were collaborators. Do you not understand the word "analogy?"
If we survive this authoritarian regime, there will not be enough time or hard drive space to itemize the endless lies, crimes and outright craziness this cult has vomited out upon this country and the world. Where does one 🤔 even start and where would one end 🤔, assuming it does, indeed, end. And, thus, that is what wakes me up in cold sweats at night, the thoughts that my grandchild and all toddlers everywhere will live their entire lives under this madness.
The day I saw Trump, during a 2015 campaign rally, physically and deliberately mock a disabled journalist, was the day I knew there was something very, very wrong with that man. And the fact that he denied and never apologized for his conduct......I said, "The gods help our nation if he's ever put in the White House." And now here we are, with the most xenophobic, lie-filled, insulting, selfish, vengeful, willfully ignorant President in our beloved country's history.
And people I once respected still support him. That is so hard for me to come to grips with.
We Americans who understand the significance and principals of our Constitution and its Democracy, are often put in a vise between one jaw, the ruthless chaos of a tyrant, and the other jaw, his well-meaning supporters, some who we once regarded with affection and trust. The crossbar handle is turned by the history of willful ignorance and discontent.
I saw that Eric Swalwell is suing Pulte for his absurd and legally suspect charges involving mortgage fraud . In that vein , aren't all of these assistants , cabinet members , staff cronies to Trump always wide open to a law suit ?? Someone must have a sold case they could bring against Stephen Miller , RFK Jr. et al . They do not enjoy blanket immunity from the Supreme Court .
It has long been clear that to get justice in Murrica you have to find a way to sue someone. It’s so nutty.
But dumpy will pardon all of them right before leaving.
Yes he will . But if they face a trial before a judge and maybe a jury , they will be forced to answer questions under oath publicly . RFK Jr. would fail miserably ; with each time he speaks , he sounds more and more like Jim Ignatowski .
Miller is not compatible with American culture.
Cute, since the suspect was trained as an assassin by the CIA.
More of the sorrows of empire.
...Miller added, "And resistance is futile."

Sharing whenever seeing that toilet rat mentioned. From 10 months ago, but incredibly well researched and wickedly funny. Hysteria is probably the best at what they do, especially their 'This Fucing Guy' series.
🤬🤬🤬
When does Miller "suggest" a "Final Solution"? 2027?
What's not compatible with Western Civilization, or any other, is MAGA-Nazis.
He's got a point - daylight proof vampires should not be attempting to assimilate into any society.
While the whole situation is messed up, I need to share a missing important thing no one is talking about.
I’m a Veterans Service Officer — and there’s a critical piece from the benefits side:
A federal judge already blocked Trump’s attempt to federalize the Guard over a week ago. Those troops were supposed to be released.
Any Guard there now — or in the future — are there outside the bounds of that order.
And here’s the part most people don’t realize:
Guard members on state activation (Title 32) don’t automatically qualify for VA disability or survivor benefits.
If something happens, their families could be left with limited or no federal protections or any survivor benefits — even getting a funeral paid for by the VA. They’re then forced to sue civilly.
The Guard is a militia for states is why. They are not federalized.
So this isn’t just wasteful or reckless —
it puts service members and their families at legal and financial risk for a political stunt.
They have to, have to leave DC now!
Yes but he’s sending even more in. People had better wake up to the ramifications of how bad his dementia is carrying us with him.
Yes! Exactly!
The laws aren’t there just for Mad Kings to not use Guard against the people — they are there to ensure benefits and coverage are allowed for when shit goes sideways — with possible loss of life or limb.
They should have never been there. And that’s why the judge ruled it illegal and no federalization.
Federalization is for like NATO orders.
Well ain't that just the teenager's cherry on top of the shit sundae. Thanks for the info. Now I can be even more pissed off. Which is better than being pissed on, I guess.
'I'd rather be pissed off than pissed on' is my hubby's favorite line.
And the MAGAs dance under the piss and call it rain.
And the rain keeps trickling down.
It’s always a daily double with this crowd. They leave you Pissed on and Pissed Off!
So they are doing the 29 day rotation to avoid veterans benefits/whatever if they are federalized for 30 or more days?
No — this isn’t the 29-day trick.
That rule applies only when troops are federalized on Title 10 orders.
These Guard members were never federalized at all because a federal judge blocked the order on Thursday.
They stayed under Title 32 state militia authority, where VA disability and survivor benefits are not automatically triggered, regardless of how many days they served.
That’s why this is so dangerous for families — their protections depend entirely on duty status, and the state chose to keep them deployed anyway.
I doubt that Trump knows or understands any of that. He is a narcissist who only see value in people if he can use them to his benefit all other people are simply worthless.
He simply doesn't care about any of it. He sees the National Guard units as game pieces, not human lives.
He thinks his power justifies all. He doesn't think of "fallout" because he doesn't care to learn since it doesn't effect him personally. That is why he answered "I haven't even thought about that" when asked by a reporter today if he would be attending her funeral.
He actually told the truth there.
You are 100% right!
Very well said. The day I saw Trump, during a 2015 campaign rally, physically and deliberately mock a disabled journalist, was the day I knew there was something very, very wrong with that man. And the fact that he denied and never apologized for his conduct......I said, "The gods help our nation if he's ever put in the White House. And now here we are, with the most xenophobic, lie-filled, insulting, selfish, vengeful, willfully ignorant President in our beloved country's history.
Yeah, I was going to say he doesn’t give a shit about benefits unless they apply to him.
This is an important reminder. Thank you for writing this, Unity. Civilians see Nat'l Guard troops and think "Oh, they're covered for everything." Nope.
Exactly. People should be even more enraged and sounding all the alarms that Sarah Beckstrom not only got killed as a political pawn, but now her family may be footing the entire bill for her funeral as well.
And if the other Guardsman survives, he will be impaired for life and technically ineligible for VA compensation for his injuries.
It’s a wicked web.
Noooo omg no
Would her hospital bill fall on her family to pay, too?
Yes — being on state (Title 32) orders, her family is not automatically covered for the bill.
National Guard members don’t qualify for VHA health care unless they’ve had prior federal active-duty service or were injured on Title 10 orders — Title 32 state militia status doesn’t trigger federal medical or survivor benefits.
Sarah was only in for 2 years. It is highly unlikely she ever received such orders.
😭 insult to mortal injury
Remember also that they are trying to dismantle the VA and privatize it.
They’ve already done damage. Probably would love to get rid of those socialist PX stores too because… reasons.
Yes — and it’s extremely dangerous.
The VHA and VBA aren’t perfect, but dismantling or privatizing them would be disastrous for millions of veterans who rely on care and compensation the private sector simply can’t provide.
The VA is also one of the nation’s largest engines of medical research — gutting it would set veteran care and national health research back decades.
Donald Trump, the Tsar of Chaos.
😭😭😭
The fucking family should tell him to stay the fuck away.
Those poor people. Their beautiful 20 year-old daughter signs on for another 5 week duty in DC, and comes home in a flag-draped box. This death is on only one person: trump. God/hamberders/lunacy: please take him soon. 😢

He is not to be believed by those of us who are sane.
I cannot stand to see this prick speak very intentionally to women reporters this way. And it's not him getting heated and accusing them of lying or not doing their job. There always has to be a thick layer of misogyny on top...calling them "piggy" or "ugly." Always a dig at appearance. I look at those women in those clips and think, how do you not say "Go FUCK yourself" and walk out of the room? But what can the press do? If they talk back, Fuckface will ban their news outlet from the press pool (maybe temporarily, maybe permanently), the reporter would lose their job, and would probably not get another one easily. And the fewer and fewer news outlets that are keeping their eyes on this Nazi shithead is worse for us. There's got to be a way for the press to push back on this asshole, but not lose their jobs over it.
The day I saw Trump, during a 2015 campaign rally, physically and deliberately mock a disabled journalist, was the day I knew there was something very, very wrong with that man. And the fact that he denied and never apologized for his conduct......I said, "The gods help our nation if he's ever put in the White House."

The man could be asked about gravity and he’d pivot to crowd sizes. It’s like watching a malfunctioning GPS that only reroutes to “me, myself, and West Virginia.” The level of disassociation would be funny if it weren’t happening on the job description that includes comforting the families of the dead.
Thanks for another awesome post about our shameful fool in charge & complicit administration. Tragic about the tragedies that befell two NG in DC, who shouldn’t have been there per judge’s order. The blood is on the hands of those who disobeyed that order. Special thanks to you for momentarily lightning it up with reference to the cringing couch cushions. Almost blew out my 3rd cup of coffee. Looking forward that JD et al face The Hague sooner than later.
in case anyone's wondering how my braised short rib risotto came out, it was great. but it took six hours to make. not a dish you can cook up on a casual whim
Sounds amazing. I'm a big fan of the non-turkey Thanksgiving
this is the recipe I used for the short ribs: https://laurenfromscratch.com/braised-short-rib-risotto-with-mushrooms/
and this is the recipe I used for the risotto: https://cooking.nytimes.com/recipes/1017022-mushroom-risotto-with-peas
except I substituted sliced brussel sprouts for the mushrooms
pro tip: caramelize the shallots and the brussel sprouts for extra flavor
Good tip... Brussel sprouts need all the help they can get.
I would have stuck with the mushrooms, as I loves me a good fungus 🍄🟫😋
I love them, and they are in season. They have been eaten cooked plain or in many legume soups.
I have shredded caramelized Brussels sprouts and put them in a soup with leeks and crumbled bacon---yum!
Yesterday my wife roasted them in the air fryer. Her vegan (it was a vegan meal) gravy made them palatable for me. 😂
All this and a fabulous cook, too? Be still, my heart.
Yum! Love caramelized brussel sprouts.
who replaces mushrooms with brussel sprouts? (yes, I'm a brussel-sprout-hater)
Jeff the man of many talents!
Thank you for the recipe. I will definitely go with the mushrooms. I am at a point in my life where I can no longer look a Brussels sprout in the eye.
👍🏼 Brussels with an "s" / 👍🏼 Loyal to the mushrooms in your risotto recipe. Stick around, please ❤️ (I do like Brussels sprouts, but mushrooms have no rival in risotto.)
A Brussels sprout is not equal to a single floret?
Roasted w olive oil and the flavors of your choice??? You’re depriving your tongue!
We spent the day with no electricity. Life in the north woods....
I lived in the mountains for many years. We always kept oil lamps within reach because the electricity was bound to go out at some point. Thanks for the memories.
We live pretty far out in the country in the Upper Peninsula. We do have a wood stove so we stayed warm, and we keep a stock of candles and oil lamps. It's a 140-year-old farmhouse, and it occurred to me during the night that a wood stove and candlelight was the situation every night in this old house not that long ago.
Honestly? It's just so cozy with a wood stove and candles. I envy you.
We live up in the foothills of the White Mountains and we lose power frequently...so yes, we have oil lamps (we heat with wood anyway) for outages. If the outage goes more than 12 hours we will fire up the generator, mostly for water and to keep things in the fridge safe.
I agree. Since we are not in the US, my husband, daughter and I will be celebrating our "holiday meal" sans Turkey at a nice German restaurant in our neighborhood on Saturday evening. It will be pitch dark outside, as it gets very dark here by 4:30 pm, and the restaurant has a fireplace. I hope we get to sit near it.
It is already evening here, and dark out, and my daughter has a paper that she has to post by midnight. So, no going out tonight. She has run down all of the reading and presentation prep she needs to do while here, and in between we will celebrate in the way that Americans abroad do, by accommodating to our circumstances.
We had a rather late midday meal since her train was delayed by 2 events, one being something on the tracks, and then someone on her train needing medical attention. So, she should be getting some money back from Deutsche Bahn. She did say that her train was filled with elderly people. Germany is filled with retired people like me, and like my husband soon will be. People over 60 make up 29.8% of the population, and yet a Vollidiot like German Chancellor Merz wants to cut down the immigration, much like Trump, his hero in many things, though not Ukraine. Anyway, when she told us that someone needed medical attention I thought about her saying the train was full of old people.
The past two TGs, I made venison medallions over wild rice, and the next year, baked stuffed whole red snapper. This year, it was just the two of us, so leftovers 😂.
Leftovers are a best friend, going out into the snow and blustery cold winds, is never fun, but it’s where I cook!
I grill outside all winter, myself. 😊
Don't grill yourself, that's just too painful to contemplate.
Note the comma. 😂
We are becoming so....Went to my sister's for Thanksgiving and she had a beautiful pork roast! It was delicious! She says she hates turkey now, after years of her husband, a traditionalist, insisted they have a turkey for the holiday.
Me too. All of the turkeys that I have ever cooked have been real ”turkeys.”
The troops could have had chicken because JD said turkey tastes like shit....koo koo for coco puffs!
Fun fact: raising turkeys adds millions to Ohio's GDP. He's such an asshole.
also Vance was raised in the suburbs, not Appalachia
I think ham is also on the menu for holidays
JD's nose is so full of Dumpty's patoot, EVERYTHING "tastes like shit".
Sounds delish!
Braised short rib is a pain to make, but it never disappoints.
Bouillabaisse too. But so worth it. Congrats Jeff!
Time to go vegetarian? Tastes better....
Where the hell is seal team six , Cheney etc to march this MF into jail, lunny bin, with his band of suck up sycophants carrying out his WACKED OUT orders. SOMETHIN GOTTA GIVE WITH THE ORANGE IDIOT HELD TOGETHER BY GLUE, DRUGS AND FAT FROM MICKY DEES!!
Sounds delicious!
I’m beyond anger. But for the love of all that is holy or at least for the sake of their profession or their stones or whatever can’t the WH press corps at least SPEAK THE FUCK UP?!!!
What, exactly, do they stand to lose? They'll be barred from the Bordello Office? Someone, quick--explain how and why that would be so awfully bad: the reporters could all go home and write scandalous books about how utterly disgusting Donnie Demento is.
Didn’t everyone read Letter from a Birmingham Jail?
I fail to understand what they hope to gain by surrendering their personal and professional dignity. Muhammad Ali went to prison, missed some of the most productive years of his prime.
The publishers couldn't print them fast enough...
Thom Hartman wrote a column today about how publishers and pamphleteers restrained John Adams when he tried to be an autocrat. A close parallel with today, except Adams wasn't a sociopath.
Really good analysis.

I am so disheartened by Preznut saying what he is saying to the female reporters without any backlash, for God sakes somebody call him out, otherwise letting him get away with this, it will seep into normal everyday activity. So much for using the President as a shiny star!!!!
Something like, "The only fake news in this room is the endless stream of BS pouring out of your mouth."
Jeff's unclaimed reward for the reporter who asks, "What the fuck is wrong with you?" should be claimed. I think when Trump goes into abuse mode, every reporter in the room should turn around and walk out. Sadly, the room has been partially stocked with sycophantic "reporters" who would never offend The King.
They're more interested in access than honor.
I disagree -- they are just trying to do their job, under odious conditions.
How about, simply, "what the fuck is wrong with you?"
And we wonder that Andrew Tate gets the royal treatment.
That ended in 2016 when the pig was elected after the awful things he said
They do not speak up, they do as they are told. They are AI robots.
AI robots would at least follow the task they’ve been given. These are simply weak careerists.
The problem is so much of our best journalistic MSM talent spoke up, were subsequently retaliated against and fired, and are now being blacklisted across the board by all corporate media outlets. Jim Acosta, Ann Telnaes, etc... all doing podcasts and self-publishing for a fraction of their former income and audience reach. This is a fascistic country.
Elected Democrats should be speaking up to defend the reporters who have been insulted and banished .
Excellent point, george.
Yeah , every reporter who has been mistreated or banished lives somewhere in a US state --so who is their US Rep and Senators ? And why are they silent ?
They are trying to do their job under despicable conditions. I disagree that they are weak careerists.
Even in those insane conditions, we are responsible for standing up for basic decency and against bullies. Careerism and weakness, nah, not legit excuses. If they’re not mature enough to recognize this, they aren’t fit for purpose.
Was Not Was:
I set charges in Maine and Florida
In Washington and California
I gave fair warning and lit the fuse
Right at the beginning of the network news.
All I did was listen to the Fates
I blew up the United States
Now little bits of Texas
Are floating up in space,
I blew up the United States.
I put plastique in the Statue of Liberty
And my nerves got a little bit jittery,
Poor little lady, there goes her head
Her arm is melting and her eyes turned red.
All I did was listen to the Fates
I blew up the United States
Now little bits of Texas
Are floating up in space
I blew up the United States
It's a free country
I'm within my rights.
Every child should have a weapon,
And a ton of dynamite.
My hand is steady
And my eye is cold
A voice inside my head
Keeps saying "Do as you are told".
All I did was listen to the Fates
I blew up the United States
Now little bits of Texas
Are floating up in space
I blew up the United States
The blood of this young woman is on Tubbo's hands. The Guard was court-ordered to leave DC a week ago. This was a death that didn't need to happen. Now 500 more Troops. Do we jump in and start a civil war, or are we just going to let him have at it? No rules, no justice system, no Congress... just let him do whatever he wants? Time to take him out, and I mean out, and the entire group of dumbbells in the cabinet. I still don't get why the fuck people are afraid of him. Get it together, Congress, and tell him to fuck off.
I agree. Also, I cannot believe no one is asking for Witkoff to be investigated for treason against the US, by colluding with the Russians.
Investigate what??? They lie like they breathe and nothing ever happens, because Trump is running a dictatorship....yes, that's what it is. We may have a Congress, a justice department, etc, but it's all moot because this lunatic is calling all the shots.
Well, actually, the handlers back in the shadows are calling the shots. Rump just parrots whatever they tell him to and signs whatever is put in front of him.
CA, there are a lot of stupid and ambitious people hanging around the corridors of power. Their ambition calculations are constantly bouncing around in their heads. IF the calculations come out on the side of the equation that's against trump, we'll see a mass exodus of support. But, this may not happen.....
The gift that keeps on giving because:
• ~70 million vile, 4-th grade reading level-illiterate, rascist, toxically- and terminally-selfish pieces of shit VOTED FOR Orange Hitler
• ~ 70 million vile, 4th-grade-reading-level illiterate aimless no life dregs did not get off of their terminally lazy asses and VOTE AT ALL.
Don't ever forget to include the 6 justices on the Supreme Court when seeking responsibility for the demise of our country.
Oh, those d***wads are right at the top of the list. If we ever get a decent government, we must increase the number of supremes.
#FuckFatassLeonardLeo
I prefer term limits.
That too. We cannot allow people to die of old age in office. We've seen how that works out.
Yes, it's more like 77 million apathetic losers who will be out shopping and running their cards to the max, only to wake up in January and not know what happened. They are fucking asleep until it comes to them. They lose their jobs, can't pay their bills, get sick, and cannot afford their health insurance..... it's coming.
I get it, but how can the Republicans who have taken an oath to protect and defend the people who elected them, sit and do nothing.. I am hoping for some big backlash when they return. If not they go down with him, and their legacy is ruined.
Spawn of Satan. No consciences. No cares. Lose their next election? Write a book and grift for the rest of their traitorous lives.
Because they are spineless cowards who are terrified of being primaried
Wasn’t there a 21 day stay on the National Guard leaving, so the "government" could appeal the decision?
Yep, that's why this death happened because Trump can't just abide by a court decision saying he's plainly violating the law, not without fighting it up to the Supremes and expecting them to let him get away with it.
you may be right. Sadly a young woman lost her life because a senile old man thinks our county needs military controlling our cities.
I hope the family of the national guards men sues the shit out of Trump for not obeying a court order and making the national guard vacate DC.
I wonder when--if ever--one of these madcap genuises (including the press corps) is going to explore the idea that this guy "went cuckoo" when he got wind of how the President Nosferatu Miller administration wanted to expel all Afghan refugees from the US, whether or not they had been granted asylum, were here legally, and/or had been rescued from their country because they'd sacrificed everything in order to aid the US military and CIA. Let's all pause and imagine what the Taliban has planned for the "repatriated."
Obviously, not an excuse for his heinous crime.....but, maybe, in a rational world, we could try to grasp a reason that would help us avert a repeat of this?
I know: silly me!
Thank you for making that important point. As part of a CIA death squad in Afghanistan, the man's life was in permanent danger in his own homeland, along with all family members. He probably spent years petitioning for legal asylum, was vetted by the NSA and CIA, and given legal residence six months ago. No doubt treated like unholy shit all the way. So, America, we broke it, we own it.
I think that the shooter volunteered for this job to secure his family's future. Will there ever be a trial? We shall see.
Totally
"Blowback". Chalmers Johnson.
https://www.amazon.com/Blowback-Consequences-American-Empire-Project/dp/0805062394
Now these mindless Nazi morons want to ban immigration from ALL THIRD WORLD COUNTRIES.
Same reasoning in trump's infant unformed brain as across-the-board tariffs on every country irregardless of their export policies or impact on import prices. I suppose his second 'thought' will be completely irrelevant 1,000% tariffs on Afghanistan, even though this shooter was a Taliban opponent.
How can we tolerate 3 more years of this insanity?
We can't. There has to be a historic "blue wave" next November.
That still requires us to endure another year of this. The country is going to be crippled in ways that we cannot recover from in a lifetime.
I appreciate your cynicism. I'm hoping a lot can be repaired, but it's going to be over a long haul.
He won't be here that long....one way or another.
Yet he welcomes white South African rascists.
Didn't Trump already say a month ago that asylum was going to be reserved for whites only?
I don’t know but really isn’t that a rule he lives by every day, minute and second, Fred helped dopey with it when he was a kid no doubt.
These people risked it all for the US and promised to take them in when no matter what. Just put him in jail then give him a proper trial, we could learn something.
That will never happen. They won't allow him to speak at all. He will be disappeared.
Even Epstein wasn’t safe I do sense foul play there.
The suspect, if returned to the Taliban, would quickly suffer a most unpleasant death. Many of those who got out of the country because they had assisted American troops would also suffer horrific deaths if returned. With Trump planning invasions of whoever seems like a likely target, and with the lack of appreciation the Trumpies are showing for those who helped US troops in the past, good luck finding locals to help US troops with their new invasions.
I doubt that he will ever see the outside of a prison cell again.
Some of our Afghan allies have already been deported, and probably murdered.
That’s very likely the case. These Afghans that helped our soldiers will be killed by the Taliban if they are returned
It's amazingly timely that a CIA trained assassin from Afghanistan shot (maybe killed?) 2 National Guards in Washington DC close to the White House just as Orange Julius needed a distraction - again - from Epstein and the Economy. So here's a distraction that also gives Nosferatu a great opportunity to get more brown people out of the country, and bring more NG units to Washington DC, and I wouldn't trust a single thing that anybody in the White House says about this whole maneuver.
Maybe the shooter will be "killed" and never seen again, going on to live a life of ease. Another successful CIA operation. Fuck Trump and release the Epstein files.
Or why would they spend money to have the shooter survive just to put him to death?
I meant that he would disappear, and CIA would say that he died in custody or some such nonsense. He probably volunteered for this job to secure his family's future. He has a wife and three children. Wife says she hasn't seen him in months. Was he training with the CIA, his former employer? Who knows?
Interesting!
You are going exactly where my mind has been going on a number of things, like the so called "assignation attempts"!!! I would not be the least bit surprised to learn that payoffs have been involved.
Totally agree!!!!
Well, it would make a good show trial. On the other hand, think about how long it is since we've heard anything about alleged killer Tyler Robinson...
Yeah, where is that guy?
And they never did find or talk to that all important transgender roommate of his, did they?
Can any say “Manchurian Candidate “?
There was a time when we could dismiss out of hand any allegations that this was a set-up job to create an atmosphere for further repression. The fact that with this regime, it's not just a wacko conspiracy theory shows how far the country has fallen.
Thomas Crooks, Butler, PA. From then on, it seems obvious that everything this administration does is cosplay for FOX News, et al.
Hear hear. The red/false flags are flying!!!
Or about ANYTHING, ever.
I just wish one reporter would challenge him and say, "No, you seem to be the stupid one!". Your sources are misleading you!"
I wish she would taser him, and they should all be filing lawsuits against him for slander and sexual harassment. I think it is getting to be enough female journalists for a class action.
I wish she would have asked him" WHY DO YOU CALL ME STUPID"? FINGER IN HIS EYE. I would not allow this piece of shit ,masquerading as a billionaire president, talk to me like that...never
Really, is your job really worth your dignity?
Apparently it is.
You can’t out-bottom bottomless ignorance, stupidity, and tapioca brain
Next time he starts to attack a reporter, I want to hear, "Are you stuparggh, argh, aaaaaaugh" thud.
The utter cowardice of the press is horrific. I wonder if they would remain silent if Trump was insulting male reporters instead of women. Little bit of sexism there, folks?
It makes me think of the time Dan Rather asked President Nixon a pointed question at a news conference, and Nixon replied, “Are you running for something, Dan?” and Dan Rather responded with “No, Mr. President. Are you?”
Isn't that why we don't use the mainstream press but come to other sources like Independent news, global news and Substacks?
Why don’t we start calling them out as fucking cowards on their LinkedIn bloviations, their journalism college web pages and Facebook pages, etc?
Do we have a list of names of these cowardly mutes?
I’ll start the ball rolling if someone gets me the names of these

The cowardice is embedded at the top of corporate media. Look at all the extortion in millions of dollars paid by CBS, ABC, WaPo, Disney, etc. to the most powerful sack of shit in the world. The owners and editorial boards of each MSM corporation should step forward and tell the fucker to back off on his ad hominem attacks and name-calling targeting their journalists. But no, they want to dance in his big, beautiful ballroom one day.
I was waiting in vain, for the "Sir, this man was vetted by your administration." Alas, it never came...
That's what the reporter was trying to say when Trump started screaming at her that she was stupid.
300 guardsmen or 500 more. So 800 national guard with zero, absolutely ZERO law enforcement training thrown into DC or whatever other city Trump decides to invade. Just out of curiosity, I googled the # of sworn members of the DC police force: 3400. Adding 500 untrained people to the mix does essentially nothing. They don’t know the law, they don’t know the people and neigborhoods, and certainly don’t know the individuals most likely to be engaged in criminal activity. Are you gonna send the guard to oh, let’s say for example, a domestic dispute? What are they going to do besides rake and pick up trash?
This is what you get when troops are deployed by a guy who has spent his entire life circumventing the law, ripping off subcontractors, and bullying anyone who would let him. Trump has zero understanding of crime, law enforcement and punishment.

So,two people shot and he permanently halts all immigration, but thousands of school children shot and we repeal laws that stop violent or mental people from getting guns. Okay, makes sense.
‘Murica 💯
It only makes sense in Amerruka.
This tragedy is 100% the fault of Trump and Republicans. Trump granted the gunman asylum. Bush's illegal war for oil and empire led him to be trained. Trump's bullshit withdrawal deal with the Taliban led to his need to flee to the USA to begin with. Trump stripped the FBI of many of its counterterrorism agents so they could chase down landscapers and housemaids. Trump sent the WV National Guard to DC to wag his tiny dick at the Democratic mayor. And Republicans have spent decades making sure that the country is awash in guns. So Trump, Vance, Patel, Bondi and Pirro can all just fuck right off.
Well summed up!!!
I can tell you didn’t read the ‘demlab’ post above, the Nazis did it, blame all of a group for the actions of one. Isn’t that guilt by association? We have laws and adjudications so follow them.
No, I didn't, so what? Explain to me exactly what is wrong with my assessment? Or do you take offense at the fact that elected Republicans, on the payroll of the NRA, have blocked any attempt at meaningful gun control for the past 30 years? Shit, they even blocked action after the murder of babies at Sandy Hook.
I like your post first I gave it a like, here’s the part that we maybe have a slight problem with: The Wall Street Journal condemned Donald Trump’s “collective punishment” of Afghans after the fatal ambush on National Guard members in D.C., urging the White House not to use the actions of one person to target thousands of others. After Wednesday’s attack Trump immediately cast the shooting as validation for a purge of immigrants from the country. - Daily Beast
Collective punishment penalizes a whole group for the acts of an individual suspected to be part of the group, even though most of the people hurt had nothing to do with the act.
It is considered a war crime. - Intl. Committee Of The Red Cross (ICRC)
Collective punishment includes sanctions against a group in retaliation for an act committed by an individual and targets people who bear no responsibility for having committed the act.
That’s it. I don’t want to start a war with you, we would have to have dopey step in and then he would have 9 wars he stopped in his last brain cell.
Trump copies Nazi COLLECTIVE PUNISHMENT playbook to attack immigrants: Learn to recognize the play
https://thedemlabs.org/2025/11/28/trump-copies-nazi-collective-punishment-playbook-to-attack-immigrants/
The problem is that the people who watch Fox News will never know that it was the Trump administration that admitted the Afgan who murdered the National Guard soldier, because they will never broadcast that. We know people who watch Fox News from morning until night, & sadly, they live in a comfortable fact free world. They have heard nothing about Trump's meme coins or the fancy dinner he held for the high rollers, or his bending the knee to the Saudi leader MBS, or the pro Russia peace plan for Ukraine.
What do we do about THOSE people?
I know. Its sad and scary, but maybe that's why Trump is so outrageously lawless. He knows that Murdoch won't allow any of that on Fox News.
It has been self-evident for sometime that collective guilt has been part of the repressive program. I first thought of the Nazi reaction to Heydrich’s killing in Czechoslovakia during the Second World War.
Excellent post ‘demlabs’ read it to learn things today.
Every day a little death with the orange jackass. May 2026 be a turnaround year. Stay sane, everybody.
Perhaps someone should show Misfit Boxwine the NG photo and ask if it’s the 4th worst in crime, why are they raking???
Excellent point, MUSA. Why are they not in the parts of the city (excluding the White House) where most crimes occur?
