"So we’ve moved past the “papers, please” phase and are now in the “arbitrary arrests and disappearing people” phase"
Say what? Hair Fuehrer and his Sturmabteilung blew past that phase a while ago. Anerica is now in the "summary execution of brown people" phase. Know your current events, centrists!
Ta, Brooke. The truth is always worth it. The Truth is Always Worth It. THE TRUTH IS ALWAYS WORTH IT. I'm sorry you had to deal with threats and unreason.
I have told people in my work life and my personal life: I don't care if it hurts my feelings, as long as it's the truth; the truth is always preferable to a lie. Some of them realized I meant that, and they are the ones who are still welcome in my life.
I don't live in the U.S., which is probably why I thought all those things on YouTube which show fictionalized instances of cops stopping motorists on invented pretexts, demanding their ID and registration, then tossing the ID on the ground and sneering, "This looks fake to me" and cuffing them and running them in, while without doubt having a basis in the real world, were, um, uh, hey, scuffs boot toes in the dirt bashfully, at least a little exaggerated.
Apparently not. At least not where the thugs of ICE with their hidden faces and ready trigger fingers are concerned.
OT Regular readers here, as well as irregular readers, have noticed the Stock Markets have pretty much sloshed around and rehashed for the last 4 months with out really gaining or losing.
Today the Nasdaq is actually lower by a mouse whisker than on June 1. You say "So whut ?"
Yes, but remember gazillions have gone into AI tech, but the rest of tech doesn't seem to have benefitted. That is, IF a stock price is supposed to represent the nature of future business. It is a common practice to rob Peter to pay Paul, if Paul has the money. But it's pretty much going to pay Paul's credit card, and Paul ain't got no money. Ah Capitalism ! Ya gotta love it. Or not. I will give my $.02. Put your stops on. No, really, put them on. You wanna be fancy ass and shit with 2,5 and 10% alerts, fine, but get them on. That's all I have to say about that.
Honestly, if Sergei were still wearing his physical body, I would be low-key nervous for his safety. As a Russian, his skin color wouldn't have attracted attention, but as an extremely outspoken lefty who was a Green Card holder, I would always wonder if the wrong person would see his social media posts, or even just overhear him at the wrong moment.
Just a reminder that millions of Americans—some minorities themselves—voted for this specifically. America's Pilonidal Cyst promised mass deportations and cruelty, of people with brown skin. They jumped on those promises. All despite the promises coming from a 34x felonious con man sex predator.
They would all be fine if gas was $1.99 and rates were in the 3s. Make no mistake... they were, are, and always will be deplorable, they're just broke.
Apparently she's even concerned about telling her fully up his ass MAGA Trumphumping parents what her new man does. They are content with "good government job" and no other details.
I imagine if he actually got the thing built, at the opening ceremonies, the floor would open up, and demons would drag him down into the depths of Hell.
Yes, exactly. That Thing refused to install sprinklers in the Trump Tower ceilings, because they offended his esthetics (as if!), and a tenant died in a fire.
Roving gangs of thugs with guns. Paid with our own money. There's a picture. I'm so white I'm almost transparent and that won't serve me one little bit. They aren't out there to 'protect' anybody, but rather to bring us to heel, quivering in fear. Why? Who profits? Are human souls just game pieces now in obscenely monied corporate pastimes?
Leaving Biden aside, he directly profits from his father's decisions regarding business and finance regulations, and has been put in charge of his father's businesses. He's not "a private citizen" except for tax dodge purposes.
Whatever happened to Marcie Jones? Is she still writing for Wonkette? She's terrific!

We're going to need to keep one or two of their warehouses for when this is all hopefully over. Surprise, guys, you're all going in the cage!
Enjoy that wormy food.

This did not occur in a vacuum.
They would all be fine if gas was $1.99 and rates were in the 3s. Make no mistake... they were, are, and always will be deplorable, they're just broke.
Bread and circuses, etc. Historically, the circuses were the easy part for rulers to provide.
"Are you not ENTERTAINED?"
Circuses are easy for clowns.
The "Broke Deplorables" would be a good name for a rock band.
The vacuum is in their skulls.
The "Vacuum Skulls." Hmm, maybe.

My friend's niece is dating an ICE fucker. Only niece is too ashamed to tell anyone.
My friend ( who came out of the womb screaming "vote Democrat!!!!") related the conversation as thus...
NIECE: Aunt S, I've got a new boyfriend! You'll be so happy he has a,real job!
AUNT S: That's nice, what does he do?
N: um, he works for the government.
A: that used to be a good steady job. What does he do for the government?
N: um, law enforcement?
A: for whom? Which agency?
N:um, I don't know.....?
A: it's ICE, isn't it? You're dating another piece of shit, only this one gets paid for being a violent piece of shit.
N: um, I don't know...? But he's gone for weeks at a time but he really loves me?
A: you're dating ICE.
This goes in circles for a few more minutes until my friend told her not to call her unless she stops dating the enemy.
"He's a pest controller who performs fumigation in Birkenau."
How sadly desperate is Niece Person? Like, there's a lot of guys out there - she really does NOT need to date a fucking brownshirt.
Apparently she's even concerned about telling her fully up his ass MAGA Trumphumping parents what her new man does. They are content with "good government job" and no other details.
🙈🙉🙊
She should fear for her life and those of her family. Maybe she does already if she decides to leave the relationship.
Imagine if she said FBI
"He doesn't love you. He's just using you to get to the dog!"
“Quick hide Scruffy!!!! The boyfriend’s on his way!!!
There are numerous people who lack dignity and proportion, like a common Olivia Nuzzi.
I think Olivia Nuzzi's in a class by herself.
Lots of people date assholes. She dated RFK, Jr.
Couldn’t she find a nice crack dealer or a guy who tears off mattress tags? Horse thief?
The tattoo artist who worked out of his trunk and had questionable hygiene she used to date is looking like quite the catch now.
Ahem...freelance pharmaceutical salesperson.
Street corner pharmacist is what they say in Harlem.
Steady work.
😳
How desperate can you be???
😳
I've never been that desperate, but seriously! Have some self respect girl!
My grandma used to call that dating judgement as flying around a chicken coop and landing on a pile of shit every time.
How can you date a person who won't even show you their face?
Love is blind drunk?

He thinks he's Sylvester Stallone
🙄🙄🙄
Sly's so much more articulate.
Based on the Coconut Grove nightclub fire code era.
Sarah Winchester’s architectural guidance reborn.
Tofu dreg! Tofu dreg! Tofu dreg!
Old Fred would be proud
All his apartments and condos should be re-inspected.
Before we feel sorry for this poor architect, let me remind everyone that he willingly agreed to work for Trump.
In French: L'code, c'est moi!
I think he meant to say “I am the choad.”
ISTR there was some fire code issue in one of his Manhattan buildings..
That's what I immediately thought of. IIRC a guy died.
Yes, exactly. That Thing refused to install sprinklers in the Trump Tower ceilings, because they offended his esthetics (as if!), and a tenant died in a fire.
How do so many of us New Yorkers know this story and so many people west of the Hudson do not
😑
goo goo g’joob
In that case I hope he completes it in time to have a big opening gala event with all of his friends and family in attendance.
'Towering Inferno' has entered the room.
You're a LOT of things fuckface, but the law you ain't.
Let 'em. Then demolish all of that shit as soon as Sharty croaks.
I'm guessing the 'stairs to nowhere' was likely the first tip off.

Yes. One must have a soul to recognize one.
"Are human souls just game pieces now"
I think it's been like that for a long time in other parts of the world. Gogol it.
Fuck this shit and fuck the rancid dickfuck ICE and the rancid dickfuck Sharty Assministration for this fascistic orgy. Fuck them all!
Lewis judges.

I was not ready for that look. It shook me to my core.
You're raising him right. 👍
*cowers before judgy stare of Lewis*
Yep, I feel judged.
I have a buddy who can say fuck 4 times in a three word sentence.
You two should meet.
It'd be a fucking blast!
Especially with Li'l Feller making the drinks.
Wonkette: Looking good, Lewis!
Lewis: Feeling good, Wonkette!

Unlike Hunter Biden, yeah?
Murc's Law is Cruise Control for Cool!
I like the cut of your jab.
Situational ethics.
Just a friendly reminder of how Nazi Tom Emmer was all in going after Hunter Biden and how he's flipped when it comes to Señor Snort!
L - Tom Emmer in 2024 on the House subpoenaing Hunter Biden.
R - Tom Emmer today on why the House shouldn’t investigate Don Jr: He’s a private citizen.

Leaving Biden aside, he directly profits from his father's decisions regarding business and finance regulations, and has been put in charge of his father's businesses. He's not "a private citizen" except for tax dodge purposes.
