- WAPO’s Ukraine correspondent was fired while in a war zone, but McArdle, who adds nothing of value to journalism and spends her free time going to bat for pedophiles, kept her job… If we lived in a healthy society, these people would be fired and blacklisted
- I just found out that Matt Damon is not Greek… I am so tired of this woke bullshit! He should have cast Stavros Halkias
- It’s amazing that just a little over a year ago MAGA (and their media pals) had assured themselves they had finally won the culture and now the culture is as rabidly anti-MAGA as it’s ever been with a Spanish-singing, Puerto-Rican artist about to play the halftime show for America’s biggest TV event
- Remember back to when the WAPO ran an op-ed that said critical race theory (this was in 2021, before they all solidified behind “wokism”) began with Immanuel Kant lmao For some reason, it popped into my head again today and gave me a good laugh www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202...
- Making fun of old ppl losing control of their bodily functions is not cool… BUT making fun of this very powerful person shitting himself, while his propaganda team projects that he’s the healthiest man ever, is both very funny & cuts thorough the BS *no pun intended*. Therefore, It’s your civic duty
- FDR Coalition coming back in 28?
- Reminds me of Tillich (by way of Matt McManus) on the lethal hallucinogen of inexorable socialist victory in Germany and the futile debates among Marxists about whether to form a united front with “reformists”:
- MOGGED, as the kids say
- Current Reads: Fiction- East of Eden Nonfiction- Psychopolitics: Neoliberalism and New Technologies of Power Poetry- The Flowers of Evil (Baudelaire)
- Finally was able to ask my Trump-voting parents their opinions on ICE & they are on the side of Good & Pretti & believe that ICE murdered them. They wade through ALOT of propaganda from Facebook&Fox so thankfully they are seeing through it (at least w/ this, we take the wins where we can get them)
- If you want some more catharsis, watch Nick go from overconfident glee to absolute despair over Bovino in an hours time:
- Men, though they must die, are not born in order to die but in order to begin. Hannah Arendt, ‘The Human Condition’
- GOP politicians retreating is a good reminder that the ones who rely on the public for their jobs still have to face reality and reality is telling them they are screwed. Pay no attention to the bloviating from right-wing influencers who only deal in hyperreality, where they get paid regardless.
- This is your annual reminder to watch Mussolini: Son of the Century
- As bad as Trump is, Mr. Absolute Immunity, JD Vance, would be so much worse Then again, Miller (more so than Trump) is the main driver of immigration policy for this admin and he is in stiff competition with Vance for ‘most evil bastard’.
- I’ve heard a number of crazy stories too, one involving a restaurant where ICE agents ate and then came back and detained the owners/dishwasher who just fed them. The kind of inhospitableness that caused God to rain fire and sulfur on Sodom and Gomorrah. Seems bad.
- Bonhoeffer on the “reasonable ones” who “want to do justice to all sides”:

- Just a few days ago, we learned that two DOGE employees were in contacts with political group seeking SSA data to overturn election results. Now the administration is trying to extort Minnesota’s voter database or else more state violence. A conspiracy against the American people.

- Meanwhile, Ahmari’s Compact magazine buddy’s only response since someone was murdered by ICE is that the Dems should stop escalating or they will lose the public…

- Everything this administration does is geared towards appearing based online, that’s why making fun of them, calling them weird, etc is so effective. In other words, it is your patriotic duty to clown them
- Reposted by Classics & VirtuesI do not regret to inform you that we are going to win.
- Kinda crazy to admit that you see ICE murdering Good, arresting kids, violating the 4th amendment, and people being upset about all that as a distraction, Bishop Barron ngl
- Folks, the Bishop of Winona Rochester had opinions and now you all are going to hear about it. It is rare that you get to read the actual letter that someone penned selling their soul to evil, but here is one in it’s full in Fox News www.foxnews.com/opinion/bish...
- This coming out just a few hours after this piece was written… I wait with bated breath to hear Miles and those like him talk about the constitutional authority of this… This is not “bad apples”; this is systemic, anti-American corruption & comparing ICE to the military is actively disrespectful
- Feel Like Pure Shit Just Want Him Back
- I’ve said it before but I think Trump’s charismatic clownery makes it easier for ppl to deflect when it comes to the fascist project of the administration, whereas putting Miller’s face/words at the forefront makes it harder to deflect bc of how charmless and overtly fascist he is
