The reason that Canada's leader went to Florida to consult or whatever with Trump was that Canada does not allow convicted felons to enter their country. American dudes who were drafted during the Vietnam era hauled ass across the border into Canada so they wouldn't have to serve. 50,000 Americans emigranted to Canada during that time.
But Trump is not welcome there. Not welcome here either.
Be aware that Canada is struggling with very similar ultra conservative forces and attempts of foreign interference from China, Iran, India, Pakistan, and Russia. Putin is such a busy boy! The article below speaks to it and if you want I can provide others. But, a search for Canadian Gov sites as well as news sources will show this.
This is why it's critically important for liberal Americans and Canadians to join public forces against these movements. I expect that when those forces see it happening they'll try to divide the two countries with disinfo. Also, we have something like maga here and they admire the Orange Turd. Search on "Freedom Convoy" or Freedumb Convoy".
Perhaps a "prisoner" swap could be arranged? Let's send all the MAGAts to Canada in exchange for all the progressive/liberal Canadians coming to the US. Trump can preside over all his sycophants in Canada, and we'll happily take Trudeau as president of the US. Everybody's happy! 😄😁😆😅🤣
I have first cousins with dual citizenship Canada/ America . I speak a little French, but because of my early childhood in Minnesota, & unfortunate frozen child incidents,
I tried—applied to immigrate and got turned down. I’m retired, have plenty of assets, speak French. But right now, they want young people with skills that they need. I am on their mailing list, so we’ll see if anything changes.
U know I wouldn't leave America I was just joking..But i would like to go where they've been-lived & grew up - besides I'm 76yrs & too old to start over & my family is such a beautiful blend of this country with different cultures & faiths it makes me oh so proud to be American..So saying that I think this country is worth fighting for - for all the right reasons..R founding fathers had a dream & they carefully layer it all out for us & year after year & generation after generation we let them down..From the Oath taking ugly politicians to the US the overseers of the "Peoples Government" so right now it looks like we r about to get a big lesson..One we can not ignore..so let it begin I say..Truthfulness & goodness always comes out in the end especially when it's goal is for the betterment of the whole..We will save America & we will make sure r founding fathers dream of the words of the Constitution r never distorted & ignored again..no one will be pushed aside & made to feel the lesser again!
No soldier will have died so greed & self created power can
I know that Nick Fuentes will never spend one minute in prison. But please allow me the fantasy of seeing him sitting in his cell, where his cellmate says , “Your body, my choice.”
What if no man or boy was allowed to mention sexual assault or harassment or rape until that man or boy was proven to have been raped or sexually assaulted himself? Proven not by a judge or jury, but a much higher standard. On tape, with ten witnesses. Disallow any false claims. Rape is not "boyish high jinx". No excuses, straight up what happens to girls & women.
"Your body, my choice" should be the basis for cleaning up the 1A as far as hate speech. It's an aggressive threat, meant to terrify females, allowing males to get away with lewd language. How long before the taunts and threats of violence become actual rapes?
Soon Terri....there is going to be violence vs. women in an unprecedented scale as this is the mysogenistic attitude of most of his comrades ...men will take this cue & act on it. I see a large member of 'Snapped' episodes where women defend themselves thru justified homocide. This won't be a family friendly environment. Women need to investigate who they become partners with & their ideology. Just my thoughts...
Bear Spray is available too. In rural areas up here, people shoot guns behind 6 ft. fences when bears come around on garbage day to scare them off. So if you are wanting more than pepper spray. Not sure if it's legal everywhere. Should stop an attacker.
It never ceases to amaze me how much they hate women. Bratty little boys raised to think they're special. Nasty men with small dicks. Control freaks. As Marlene Dietrich said about Hitler, "Unfortunately the first girl laughed".
Possessing a small or micro penis makes them hateful blowhards, know-it-all's, and bullies. For these guys, it is a natural transition to become a republican.
Trump planting the Canadian flag in Switzerland puts the "art" in artificial intelligence and the "dumb fuck" in Trump.
Meanwhile, Musk's tweets are so idiotic as to defy comprehension. If you pulled together a dozen of them, without attribution, and asked the world who wrote them, most people would start out with Marjorie Taylor Greene and go downhill from there. It really is amazing.
Maybe he should have finished college instead of staying here illegally. He’d still be an evil asshole, but less uneducated. On second thought, he’s less of a threat the way he is now. I imagine him wandering around the DoJ, looking for the ACLU Department to defund. Or having Vivek and Greene pull the funding for SpaceX.
Pulling the Tesla funding wouldn’t bother him at all, since he’s cashed out his stock, but we have other rocket boys in this country ready to take his funding Dr.!!
The kid is 26 years old. He couldn't even get the ball in the hole, dumb fuck. Rape is a hell of a way to lose your virginity, but this doesn't count, you idiot. And take his fucking mace away, he is melting down.
The thing about that little shit that really kills me is despite all of his hatred for women and his idiotic advice about how men have dominion over women, the first place he ran when his address was published was home to mama. He has some deep psychiatric issues and definitely is probably in love with mommy still. Any self respecting woman would spit in his face and give him a swift kick to the balls, but he would be the apple of a lot of these maga skanks’ eyes. I’m sure he has women writing him all the time who think he is just aces. I actually saw women interviewed during the election who said they didn’t believe women should be able to vote. I grew up in the 60s, and 70’s amidst a hell of a lot of turmoil and fighting like hell for our rights and I’d like to kick the shit out of every single one of those stupid bitches.
Our Nazis are the best Nazis like nobody has ever seen. Ours are the whiniest, angriest, most self entitled, and dumbest in the history of books. That’s something amirite?
As reported in The Guardian, Trump hosted a group of German neo-Nazis (Alternative für Deutschland (AfD) party) at Mar-a-Lago to watch election day results with him. Among them was "the purported semi-professional, one-time porn actor, self-confessed former cocaine user, convicted thief and hard-right candidate for the German parliament Phillipp-Anders Rau. Together with a compact delegation of young political activists and influencers, Rau posed for the cameras with the American president-elect at his invitation, chanting “Fight! Fight! Fight!” in English and German."
I had the strangest thought reading this. Were the Nazi nazis of the 1930s this fucking stupid? I always realized how sick they were and how groomed for this they were, but I never considered just how fucking fun they must have been, bottom to top. In light of our present perilous moment I’m reconsidering. It was Chip Roys all the way down.
Many of the German Nazis were that dumb, but Germany was a much easier country to dominate. It was more homogeneous—many fewer dissenting organizations. Also, there was no local government to oppose the central authority. Today we have 21 Democratic states whose attorney generals are consulting with each other to oppose Maga initiatives and slow down or stop them in court.
MAGA wants to regain control of the country. The good news is, that is not possible.
I hope you're right. The far-right Evangelicals scare me. Just remember history, how people were burned a the stake and/or drawn and quartered because religion. There is no religion, only power over others.
I believe deeply that you're wrong, but I can't prove it. No one has been burned at the stake for hundreds of years, not even in Russia or China or Nazi Germany. Admittedly, a few black people in the South may have been burned before they were lynched.
II live in a blue county and a blue city in a very red state. Namely Houston Texas. There will be ferocious local resistance to any Trump hijinks.
For example, the local authorities never cooperated with the Trump Administration by revealing the immigration status of inmates in county and city jails. Trump 1.0 called such cities, “sanctuary cities.”
The local children's Hospital continued to give transgender hormones to kids after it had been outlawed by the state of Texas. They got ratted out, but who knows they still may be doing this.
We are lucky in Texas, every major city is blue. And Texans do not get intimidated.
I’m certainly glad to hear that little tidbit about the resistance of the children’s hospital. I’m hoping there will be many more who are brave & resist.
I think that the top nazis weren't exactly stupid. Their prejudices were real but the ones at the top were smart enough to never put themselves in harms way.
The GOP politicians genuinely believe shit like--and this is my fave is still Todd Akin saying that a woman can't get pregnant by rape because, "...women rarely get pregnant from legitimate rape because the female body has ways of shutting that whole thing down."
But since he said it out loud--not in print--I've always interpreted it as "shutting that HOLE thing down."
He was shamed into apologizing for it, and later rescinded his apology. But Democrats are the flip-floppers.
Turns out it is a common propaganda lie in the forced-birther circles.
"In some cases, it has been claimed by anti-abortion activists that pregnancy from rape is either rare or impossible. This is an incorrect assertion; studies repeatedly show that any female capable of ovulation may become pregnant after rape by a fertile male, and the prevalence of pregnancy from rape is the same or greater than pregnancy from consensual sex."
Todd Akin's outrageous words elected Sen. Claire McCaskill. The fucking brain dead pols are making laws affecting females, and they have no idea how pregnancy might occur.
Legitimate rape ? Yet another who can not differentiate between sexual congress and sexualised violence because he has seemingly only ever experienced indulging in the latter. His parents and all his close relatives should be ashamed.
What the hell is 'legitimate rape?". Having survived 7!! Between 18 and 48 -- left for dead in a canal with alligators/crocodiles?? During one and fed arsenic in another!! Held hostage in another with repeated rape! Where is this legitimacy he's talking about??
You are not alone. There was a survey I came across that unfortunately I did not note down, comparing PTSD suffered by soldiers exposed to extreme violence in warfare and rape survivors. The latter were found to suffer levels of PTSD four times higher than battle hardened elite combat troops. So when I called you a survivor I meant it. Surviving does not mean you can ever forget or forgive, just that we daily ‘carry it on our backs’. I can almost always recognise ‘one of us’ if I meet them in the flesh and vice versa. I don’t really know why 🐈⬛
“….Eichmann’s mediocrity and insipid character struck Arendt on her first day in court…..
...In the Third Reich evil lost its distinctive characteristic by which most people had until then recognized it. The Nazis redefined it as a civil norm….
…she insisted that only good had any depth. Good can be radical; evil can never be radical, it can only be extreme, for it possesses neither depth nor any demonic dimension yet-and this is its horror!-it can spread like a fungus over the surface of the earth and lay waste the entire world. Evil comes from a failure to think. It defies thought for as soon as thought tries to engage itself with evil and examine the premises and principles from which it originates, it is frustrated because it finds nothing there. That is the banality of evil.”
At this point I had to close the book and just chew on that for a while before starting in again. Does this help?
When dishonor and dishonesty and cruelty are held in esteem as virtues, evil wins.
The Trump policy to torture and traumatize children and their mothers and fathers, by separating them with no hope of reuniting, is today's equivalent to Hitler and Stalin. Normalizing cruelty to children is the banality of evil. If those in Good Faith do not stop this, we are complicit.
There IS something there. Evil is the ego run amok. It’s the ego which can’t fathom how it’s possible that you are like me — that you are in fact, at the level of a truer reality, the same as me.
Learning how to abandon thinking in favor of simply being, is a goal of meditation. We are humans being, but have been inculturated to be humans thinking, ( I’m not referring to critical thinking here) or rather humans who abide the constant flow of ongoing random words that have taken root in our brains. People who have succumbed are easy to manipulate by feeding them more words.
You are probably right; after all, Heisenberg believed in that Nazi shite. But the present crop has opened my eyes to another way of looking at life in the past, in those terrible times of enthusiasm and compliance.
Buffalo Chip and his clueless cronies of the GOP never take a day off with their endless bullshit. Now we have proposed legislation from another MTG-like dimwit that will keep controlling the weather in check. Like it was suggested weeks ago, if this was even remotely possible, Mar a Lardo would of already been in the crosshairs of a Category 5 hurricane.
The "brown Shirts" were, they were the violent ones, bully boys who eventually got put down in the "Night of the Long Knives", after they had fulfilled their purpose.
Jeff, thanks for the news that “it’s the Jews” that control the weather, not the government…. More absolute bat shit crazy from the Florida Confederate Mafia. Since it’s the weekend I’m adjusting my Space Lazer and aiming it at Florida.. Best to all and buckle up.
Typical conservative euphemism in order to deflect and downplay a very serious allegation. Notice how they do the opposite when the accused is a Democrat, where they inflate/conflate/ exaggerate/ confabulate, to increase the outrage at all costs.
Now, there is a way to hurt the ACLU financially. Like most organizations like this, the ACLU has 501 (c)3 status; meaning that, under most circumstances, donations to the ACLU are tax-exempt. Without 501(c)3 status, donors will no longer be able to claim giving to the ACLU as a tax deduction.
The Orange Shitstain has proposed hiring a person to head up the IRS who has called for its abolition more than once. He looks like he’s stupid; I don’t think he is.
I am a Guardian of Liberty and send them money monthly. It’s my way of saying Fuck You to MAGA.
Let us not overlook the fact that the Soace Nazi donated to the ACLU to the tune of $6 million over a period of time and had praised them prior to 2019.
Oh, that Space Nazi - such a fickle little thing he is! Now I understand he’s dragging one of his children with him to public meetings to use as a human shield in case anyone decides they want to come after him. Whatta guy!
And she hates his guts. One of the latest baby mamas is wacky herself and they named the poor kid something that isn't even a name. I think he was the one with Elon at the hearing this week. Should be toddler age.
I read that he's built an underground bunker city for himself, his breeders, and his spawn in case his plan to rule the world backfires. Somewhere in Texas, probably. (Waco has a vacant site.)
Heard similar cases of IVF use by him on a Ted Talks, being used repopulate our blue spinning cosmic ball that’s becoming underpopulated! This fucking tosspot should be at the front of the deportation line, for buying his way to becoming a king right here PJ
I’m not so sure I want to support the ACLU. They’ve defended horrible men who are stalkers who terrorize women. Just listened to a podcast about a couple of truly egregious cases they defended on the grounds of “free speech.” Tolerance should have limits when it actually harms another human.
The guy grifted at least two sets of bubblegum cards with his head photoshopped onto superheroes. Someone came up with a rendering of him hugging Jesus - which he, of course posted on his social sewer pipe. And the last time I checked - he was elected president of the United States. Of course he’s going to distribute photoshops of himself in the alps with a Canadian flag. Why the fuck not? Trumpamerica is a trailer trash celebration of idiocy and a masterclass in propaganda. Didn’t Hitler have similar heroic paintings of himself on horseback in a suit of armor? You don’t fuck with success. When his portrait is inevitably installed in the White House, it should be painted on black velvet.
It's tempting to send messages to MTG, Boebert, et al., warning them of the solstice conspiracy (and then explaining solstice to them). We should have a pool to figure out which one of them gets to work on it first. Also, who says the dumbest thing.

Sorry, we’re getting desperate over here
Oh hell no…
The Ram Ranch sting guy was excellent though! And the western separatists are just nuts.
LMAO! I hadn't heard it before this!
My husband is Canadian, and we lived in BC. for several years, so I tend to follow anything that seems weird about Canada.
How’s your French and do you enjoy the cold Norie?
The only place they speak primarily French is in Quebec, only in that one province
I have first cousins with dual citizenship Canada/ America . I speak a little French, but because of my early childhood in Minnesota, & unfortunate frozen child incidents,
I don't like being cold, or wet.
BON JOUR? ☝️🤣
My French is horrid. But, it hasn't been a problem in BC. The weather on Vancouver Island is pretty much the same as Seattle. For better or worse.
I tried—applied to immigrate and got turned down. I’m retired, have plenty of assets, speak French. But right now, they want young people with skills that they need. I am on their mailing list, so we’ll see if anything changes.
I hope it works out for you. We really do have a need for medically trained people here. Veterinarians included.
I've been waiting 7 months for a hip replacement. But, when it happens the majority of the cost will be covered.
My family originally came from England to Canada in & around 1903-6..lived there for many many years-can we go back?🙋♀️lol
Too late! My grandfather was born there, but it cuts none of their famous ice

Bingo! Steph!!!
What if no man or boy was allowed to mention sexual assault or harassment or rape until that man or boy was proven to have been raped or sexually assaulted himself? Proven not by a judge or jury, but a much higher standard. On tape, with ten witnesses. Disallow any false claims. Rape is not "boyish high jinx". No excuses, straight up what happens to girls & women.

Pretty sure women are already aware of this precaution.

What prison did you do your time in, sport? Co-ed cells!
I’d like to apply there for my next stint.

Can I borrow that fantasy please? It’s a good one!
Jodi, I’m willing to share.
Nice Stephanie, applauding!!
Say it loud Bubba!
Yes please
Sheer perfection!
Yeah, they'll do a Rittenhouse, where the trump-appointed judge likes young boys.
I’d LOVE this for him. 🤣🤣🤣

Not snark to me. It's the truth.
Forgot about that quote. So on the money.
Wow Kristy, back to back home runs with Linda, I know you’ve always been a star!!
🙏
The repugs carry a lot of hate.
Possessing a small or micro penis makes them hateful blowhards, know-it-all's, and bullies. For these guys, it is a natural transition to become a republican.
Also those guys with mushroom dicks (per Stormy D).
Yes, happy, well-adjusted people don't vote republican.
They do,its exhausting.

Which was exactly why the Founding Fathers put a wall between church & state
They had the recent Puritan sadistic fanatic oppression to convince them they didn't want a repeat of European historical religious war history.
I believe deeply that you're wrong, but I can't prove it. No one has been burned at the stake for hundreds of years, not even in Russia or China or Nazi Germany. Admittedly, a few black people in the South may have been burned before they were lynched.

That is one of the greatest misogynistic
quotes of all time. “No rape- cause the body shuts it down” Obviously Todd”I’m Achin’ for a Brain” never passed anatomy
or sex education in his ute.
Turns out it is a common propaganda lie in the forced-birther circles.
"In some cases, it has been claimed by anti-abortion activists that pregnancy from rape is either rare or impossible. This is an incorrect assertion; studies repeatedly show that any female capable of ovulation may become pregnant after rape by a fertile male, and the prevalence of pregnancy from rape is the same or greater than pregnancy from consensual sex."

Todd Akin's outrageous words elected Sen. Claire McCaskill. The fucking brain dead pols are making laws affecting females, and they have no idea how pregnancy might occur.
There should be a bunch of Schoolhouse Rock episodes to teach stupid politicians the basics of, well, everything.
I doubt even then they’d be able to learn. Their brains are impenetrable.
Uf dah !
Legitimate rape ? Yet another who can not differentiate between sexual congress and sexualised violence because he has seemingly only ever experienced indulging in the latter. His parents and all his close relatives should be ashamed.

It is a contradiction in terms only existing in his febrile fantasies, to be ignored.
You are a true fire proven survivor, to be believed.
Thanks. I'm old now but the memories don't ever go away.
You are not alone. There was a survey I came across that unfortunately I did not note down, comparing PTSD suffered by soldiers exposed to extreme violence in warfare and rape survivors. The latter were found to suffer levels of PTSD four times higher than battle hardened elite combat troops. So when I called you a survivor I meant it. Surviving does not mean you can ever forget or forgive, just that we daily ‘carry it on our backs’. I can almost always recognise ‘one of us’ if I meet them in the flesh and vice versa. I don’t really know why 🐈⬛
No they don't. When I was younger, 1 in 3 women reported sexual assault by age 18. Now statistics say 1 in 4. I think both numbers are low.
Rape happens all the time.
I am sorry you are part of this club.
Firm Hugs to you, D.
They don't "do" consent.
True dat ska girl
I forgot about that one—it is a classic! I wonder if any GOP women colleagues took him to task after blurting that for being a capital M Moron.
He lost the election over that stupidity.
From HANNAH ARENDT
Eichmann in Jerusalem
A REPORT ON THE BANALITY OF EVIL
Introduction by AMOS ELON
“….Eichmann’s mediocrity and insipid character struck Arendt on her first day in court…..
...In the Third Reich evil lost its distinctive characteristic by which most people had until then recognized it. The Nazis redefined it as a civil norm….
…she insisted that only good had any depth. Good can be radical; evil can never be radical, it can only be extreme, for it possesses neither depth nor any demonic dimension yet-and this is its horror!-it can spread like a fungus over the surface of the earth and lay waste the entire world. Evil comes from a failure to think. It defies thought for as soon as thought tries to engage itself with evil and examine the premises and principles from which it originates, it is frustrated because it finds nothing there. That is the banality of evil.”
At this point I had to close the book and just chew on that for a while before starting in again. Does this help?
When dishonor and dishonesty and cruelty are held in esteem as virtues, evil wins.
The Trump policy to torture and traumatize children and their mothers and fathers, by separating them with no hope of reuniting, is today's equivalent to Hitler and Stalin. Normalizing cruelty to children is the banality of evil. If those in Good Faith do not stop this, we are complicit.
I still think Stephen Miller is a serial killer.
. . . or a wannabe
There IS something there. Evil is the ego run amok. It’s the ego which can’t fathom how it’s possible that you are like me — that you are in fact, at the level of a truer reality, the same as me.
Learning how to abandon thinking in favor of simply being, is a goal of meditation. We are humans being, but have been inculturated to be humans thinking, ( I’m not referring to critical thinking here) or rather humans who abide the constant flow of ongoing random words that have taken root in our brains. People who have succumbed are easy to manipulate by feeding them more words.
Arendt was right though
Some poignancy there bluesy!!
You are probably right; after all, Heisenberg believed in that Nazi shite. But the present crop has opened my eyes to another way of looking at life in the past, in those terrible times of enthusiasm and compliance.
Why for me (among others) Ezra Pound and Salvador Dali can fuck all the way off forever…
Buffalo Chip and his clueless cronies of the GOP never take a day off with their endless bullshit. Now we have proposed legislation from another MTG-like dimwit that will keep controlling the weather in check. Like it was suggested weeks ago, if this was even remotely possible, Mar a Lardo would of already been in the crosshairs of a Category 5 hurricane.
Heather Cox explained this historical fact pretty succinctly in yesterday's post. I think so, Neal.
The one day I skip reading her… thanks.
Peel off those cool Hugo Boss greatcoats, take off those jackboots and those penis-helmets, and what you’ve got is a bunch of common thieves.
The "brown Shirts" were, they were the violent ones, bully boys who eventually got put down in the "Night of the Long Knives", after they had fulfilled their purpose.
Jeff, thanks for the news that “it’s the Jews” that control the weather, not the government…. More absolute bat shit crazy from the Florida Confederate Mafia. Since it’s the weekend I’m adjusting my Space Lazer and aiming it at Florida.. Best to all and buckle up.
Some of us are normal down here in Florida- just aim it at Mar-a-Lago please.
And Tallahassee.
Rape isn't an indiscretion. It's a felony.
And a LIFE SENTENCE for the victim ( I
know this from personal experience, how different my life and mind would be without THAT trauma, on top of everything else)
❤️🩹
❤️🩹
❤️🩹
Kristy ❤️🩹🙏
❤️🩹
I can’t imagine Kristy… in spite of all the evil I know of, knowing there’s so much more I don’t, leaves me thoroughly distraught and disgusted!!
Kristy, ❤️. It's a life sentence, even if you survive.
The experience never leaves you. But you can’t let it overshadow your life, either. That’s why we refer to ourselves as survivors and not victims.
If I call myself a SURVIVOR, do I get a prize ? 😕
Typical conservative euphemism in order to deflect and downplay a very serious allegation. Notice how they do the opposite when the accused is a Democrat, where they inflate/conflate/ exaggerate/ confabulate, to increase the outrage at all costs.
The right's persecution of Hunter Biden is a prime example.
Damn right. If it were anyone else but Hunter, the ammosexuals would be leaping to his defense
Honestly, Jeff, limiting yourself to one stupidity per day may be depriving us of an awful lot of stupid going forward.
I hope everyone who is able will sign up for monthly donations to the ACLU.
#XProtest
I’ve been a monthly donor for years!
I started a monthly donation after the election
Full disclosure: I used to work for the ACLU.
Now, there is a way to hurt the ACLU financially. Like most organizations like this, the ACLU has 501 (c)3 status; meaning that, under most circumstances, donations to the ACLU are tax-exempt. Without 501(c)3 status, donors will no longer be able to claim giving to the ACLU as a tax deduction.
The Orange Shitstain has proposed hiring a person to head up the IRS who has called for its abolition more than once. He looks like he’s stupid; I don’t think he is.
I am a Guardian of Liberty and send them money monthly. It’s my way of saying Fuck You to MAGA.
Let us not overlook the fact that the Soace Nazi donated to the ACLU to the tune of $6 million over a period of time and had praised them prior to 2019.
Oh, that Space Nazi - such a fickle little thing he is! Now I understand he’s dragging one of his children with him to public meetings to use as a human shield in case anyone decides they want to come after him. Whatta guy!
Also he drags the little boy around as a support ‘animal.’
Oh my god. He has a kid?????
He has 11 or 14 or something with multiple mothers.
Yep one's transgender?
And she hates his guts. One of the latest baby mamas is wacky herself and they named the poor kid something that isn't even a name. I think he was the one with Elon at the hearing this week. Should be toddler age.
At last count, he has 13 children by at least three different women. Nice, hm? Like I said, whatta guy! 🙄
I read that he's built an underground bunker city for himself, his breeders, and his spawn in case his plan to rule the world backfires. Somewhere in Texas, probably. (Waco has a vacant site.)
Imagine that! I think Waco would be perfect for all of them.
Pronounced “whacko”
He built a compound in Austin, so they could all live right next to each other. Not all of the mothers moved in. Some did. Ewww.
I’ve heard that many, if not all of them, have been conceived using IVF; don’t know if that’s a fact or not.
Heard similar cases of IVF use by him on a Ted Talks, being used repopulate our blue spinning cosmic ball that’s becoming underpopulated! This fucking tosspot should be at the front of the deportation line, for buying his way to becoming a king right here PJ
Scary ain’t it? me thinks he has many
He has 13
More than just one Terri!!
Yeah, he has 13. He believes In repopulating the USA with white people, & I presume he thinks he has great genes to pass on. 🤮
He is South African, after all.
After turning Shitter into a fascist paradise in the name of "free speech," he now rails against the organization most identified with free speech.
You’ve got the goods on the Space Nazi, who donated $6M to the ACLU, likely because they defended a Nazi and a Klansman on separate occasions HI2!!
I’m not so sure I want to support the ACLU. They’ve defended horrible men who are stalkers who terrorize women. Just listened to a podcast about a couple of truly egregious cases they defended on the grounds of “free speech.” Tolerance should have limits when it actually harms another human.
Just when I thought Floriduh couldn't get any stupider
There is no bottom
Oh, I’m sure there is. The bloody misbegotten piles of guts that make up this version of republicans just haven’t found it-yet.
That’ll take years
Seems like the middle is pretty soggy too
Truer words Kay-EI!!
Well there's a few of us who aren't✌🏻💙
Too few
The guy grifted at least two sets of bubblegum cards with his head photoshopped onto superheroes. Someone came up with a rendering of him hugging Jesus - which he, of course posted on his social sewer pipe. And the last time I checked - he was elected president of the United States. Of course he’s going to distribute photoshops of himself in the alps with a Canadian flag. Why the fuck not? Trumpamerica is a trailer trash celebration of idiocy and a masterclass in propaganda. Didn’t Hitler have similar heroic paintings of himself on horseback in a suit of armor? You don’t fuck with success. When his portrait is inevitably installed in the White House, it should be painted on black velvet.
With lots and lots of orange paint.
Resembling FAT ELVIS.
And titled, ‘I Can See Switzerland From My House’

(ix-nay on the ewish-jay eather-way ontrol-cay ing-thay!)
I'm waiting for MAGAt commentary on the convergence of hanuka, xmas and kwanzaa. I'm eager to know who they will blame for that.
It's the War on Christmas! Plan so many holidays at the same time that nobody can celebrate them all!
It's tempting to send messages to MTG, Boebert, et al., warning them of the solstice conspiracy (and then explaining solstice to them). We should have a pool to figure out which one of them gets to work on it first. Also, who says the dumbest thing.
if it weren't for you and Borowitz, this shit would be news to cut by, with maudlin violins playing in the background. I'm grateful for both of you.
