FWIW in the armed services, at least when I served, “cowboy” meant a foolish showboater who thought he was cool but actually was a walking, out of control disaster. That’s the demo this ad is aimed at.
Fuck it -- let's just agree that words are totally meaningless and communicate in toe wriggles instead. Sorry, let me re-communicate that appropriately:
OT: "Also in that ABC News interview last night, Donald Trump called senators Thom Tillis, of North Carolina, and Lisa Murkowski, of Alaska, “losers” after they became the first Republican lawmakers to call for DHS secretary Krisi Noem to lose her job.
They’re terrible senators. One is gone and the other should be gone. What Murkowski says -- she’s always against the Republicans anyway. And Tillis decided to drop out. So you know, he lost his voice once he did that.
Tillis told CNN this morning he was “thrilled” that Trump thinks he’s a loser, adding: “That makes me qualified to be homeland security secretary and senior adviser to the president.”
Tillis told CNN this morning he was “thrilled” that Trump thinks he’s a loser, adding: “That makes me qualified to be homeland security secretary and senior adviser to the president.”
By that standard, everyone on the other side of the aisle, except Fetterman, is qualified to be homeland security secretary and senior advisor to the president.
Tom Homan is a fucking liar! They DO arrest at hospitals and court houses. They barge into homes and swarm schools. That asshole has seen the videos and he doesn’t trust his own eyes. Go. To. Hell! Do not pass go, do not collect $50k in bribes.
I heard cop noises in the bank today & half expected it to be ICE. Although, that seems like a bad idea unless you're a bank robber dressed as ICE, creating a diversion
“We have got children in Minnesota hiding in their houses, afraid to go outside. Many of us grew up reading that story of Anne Frank,” Walz said. “Somebody’s going to write that children’s story about Minnesota.”
Perhaps Gov Walz's statement was a bit beyond the pale, but not by much. The Nazification of the Fulvous Fuckwad and his stans closely follows Hitler and his stans. The ICEholes have a tad bit farther to go to be the Gestapo, but they are most definitely comparable to the Brownshirts (and, IMO, will suffer the same fate: Operation Hummingbird).
Either way, when there are people cowering in their own homes or hidden in others' due to the rampant asshattery of the ruling regime then the comparisons are to be expected. Today, there's not a whole lot of difference between Minneapolis and Amsterdam, both were/are occupied by a military force antithetical to the beliefs of the residents and the country writ large.
(BTW, has anyone not noticed that the invocation of Godwin's Law is no longer occurring in response to the Nectarine Nattering Nabob of Negativism [thank you Mr Safire]? It's no longer necessary to be well into a thread before the comparisons come flying fast and furiously, they are soooo obvious from the get-go.)

"Back in May, Trump [sic] purged the board of all members appointed by Joe Biden, including former second gentleman Doug Emhoff, former Biden chief of staff Ron Klain, and former domestic policy adviser Susan Rice, and installed 14 loyalists instead"
Of course the Corrupt Coral Coward would purge the board of anyone not willing to rewrite history to obliterate American Antisemitism. I'll bet that given the opportunity, the Fourth Reich would alter Emma Lazarus' poem on the Statue of Liberty: "Give me your tired, your poor, / Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free" to ""Give me your tired, your poor, / Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free...

The Hillbilly is as hypocritical, ignorant, unempathetic, and as unaware of basic human rights as his boss. (And both have multiple faces they show depending on the audience.) He can make statements like "we promise to never again to go down the darkest path[,]" he and the current regime have already embarked down that path, beginning with the coronation of the Shocking Orange ShitForBrains.
He is correct on one thing, "we're capable of unspeakable brutality." The regime has proven that since it invaded Los Angeles... if not earlier.
With almost three more years of this onerous regime yet before us that "unspeakable brutality" has entirely too much poisonous potential to become a noxious reality.
Tom Homan will apply a thin veneer of professionalism to the Proud Boy rampage under cover of law enforcement privilege.
And that is all Bovino's substitution with Homan does.
At least Bovino had the gumption to go prance around in costume with his mercenary death squad guys.
Some of these 16 will be quietly released without charges. Others may be released when a Grand Jury refuses to indict. Others will be acquitted at trial, or have charges dismissed for bad law thingy.
But once it gets into a courtroom, who the hell knows.
The Dinos 24/7 Channel, run by the BBC, now has on an episode about what a safari would be like if the dinosaurs were still here. It's Jurassic Park but it's real!
I kind of wish some of the big-ass animals were still here. Dinosaurs were cool.
I watch a YouTube video about Angel Steve (Ashley Ottesen) that created all the animals on earth. But almost all dinosaurs. But God (also Ashley) thought they would eat the humans, so sent a meteor to destroy them.
But Steve outsmarted Her and make them look like birds.
God is not the sharpest tool in the shed and loses to Lucifer at cards.
I live quite close to a smallish river formed by the retreat of glaciers at the end of the last Ice Age. There were giant beavers about 5 feet tall living there until about 12,000 years ago.
I think about them every time I walk by the river, which is almost every day in good weather.
The press needs to quit scolding people for pointing out the extremism of the Trump administration. We've never had anything like this in America. Nazism or fascism is the closest thing we even know about.
I love how our party shits all over Biden/Harris and blames them for the 2024 loss while Trump sending the FBI to a polling station in GA to relitigate the 2020 Election is perfectly fine.
Yeah, he did those things, but he didn't do the most important thing-which was appointing an attorney general that would have held trump accountable for his crimes against the U.S! Garland was pathetic.
Full disclosure that I'm speaking as a non-Jewish person -- but I would suspect that the term "Never Again" fundamentally implies a continual scan for similarity in current events. Not all comparisons need be complete or perfectly congruent in order to be meaningful.
The Federal Reserve left interest rates unchanged, despite relentless attacks from President Trump, who wants borrowing costs to be much lower. Two policymakers dissented, voting for a rate cut.
"Two governors voted to cut: Stephen I. Miran, whom President Trump appointed to the Fed late last year, once again issued a dissent and voted in favor of a quarter-point cut. He was joined by the Fed governor Christopher J. Waller, who also voted for a quarter-point cut. Mr. Waller was appointed by Mr. Trump during the president’s first term in office and is among the contenders to be the next Fed chair."
Rethugs are so easily offended, one might even call them "snowflakes."

Beyond the pale?
Please note I used the qualifier "perhaps," and the "not by much" could have been clearer, but I believe my comment reflects agreement with Gov Walz.

Maybe closer to the edge of the pale than to its center, but definitely well within the pale and not beyond
We've seen since Columbine that life means nothing to them.
Since Columbus? Certainly 16th century anyway.

Shut up Pammy.
for bologna throwing?
Someone threw Homan?
i mean i'm against it because i abhor food waste. then again i'm not certain if bologna counts as "food".
Most of it is. Iff'n ya chew on a hard part, just spit it out.
The record 'round these parts is 12 ft, 3 in.
Did he break anything, such as his neck for example?
Threw Mousillini (Hai, Suse!) at Homan
Assault with a dildo weapon
SOP.
What matter is what happens AFTER these dubious derelicts are returned to duty, as you may be sure will be the case.
Tom Homan will apply a thin veneer of professionalism to the Proud Boy rampage under cover of law enforcement privilege.
And that is all Bovino's substitution with Homan does.

But once it gets into a courtroom, who the hell knows.
The occupation continues.
how thin of a veneer can you do and still call it a 'veneer'?
Don't ask me.
I just learned what 'provenance' was.
it's in france, right?
Ah, oui Madame. Vous have caught me red footed ! Or cold handed?
I believe gold can be made into a foil only 1 atom thick. Gold spray-paint probably can't get that thin, but Homan's veneer would be similar.
molecule thick
Thats like almost a whole hockey team in January!!!!

I kind of wish some of the big-ass animals were still here. Dinosaurs were cool.
The atmospheric pressure was higher then, which allowed them to grow to gargantuan size. Nowadays, they would be smaller, i. e., birds.
I watch a YouTube video about Angel Steve (Ashley Ottesen) that created all the animals on earth. But almost all dinosaurs. But God (also Ashley) thought they would eat the humans, so sent a meteor to destroy them.

The press needs to quit scolding people for pointing out the extremism of the Trump administration. We've never had anything like this in America. Nazism or fascism is the closest thing we even know about.
The GOP is in real time enacting the policies of the Nazis, step by step but is calling them fascists just heating the rhetoric?
-BoBo probably

Say what you will; the GOP can get non criticized blind allegiance better than us.*
* did Baconz use his semicolon correctly? Im trying it out.
Nope, try again.
Republicans are so good at getting blind allegiance they can even get Democrats to blindly follow them.
Biden was too left AND not left enough and I am different because reasons
Biden didn’t improve our lives enough but we’re not going to lift a finger while Trump is setting fire to our country.
By the Dem establishment
Curbed a pandemic, brought back jobs, invested in the environment, supported unions....
No, didn't improve anything did he
Yeah, he did those things, but he didn't do the most important thing-which was appointing an attorney general that would have held trump accountable for his crimes against the U.S! Garland was pathetic.
Sarcasm?
Moderate Dems: you’re not cool unless you say the last Democrat that loss is a total suckbag.

OFF TOPIC (ketchup meet wall):
𝗙𝗲𝗱 𝗞𝗲𝗲𝗽𝘀 𝗥𝗮𝘁𝗲𝘀 𝗦𝘁𝗲𝗮𝗱𝘆
The Federal Reserve left interest rates unchanged, despite relentless attacks from President Trump, who wants borrowing costs to be much lower. Two policymakers dissented, voting for a rate cut.
wait. Only two dissented?
"Two governors voted to cut: Stephen I. Miran, whom President Trump appointed to the Fed late last year, once again issued a dissent and voted in favor of a quarter-point cut.

https://www.nytimes.com/live/2026/01/28/business/federal-reserve-interest-rates
lol...the argument was a quarter point?
ok I am not a financial person, but that seems like a very very very meager cut. Was they just trying to give Trump a "win"?
I don't know Waller, but Miran is a certified idioté, if you'll pardon my Spanish.
The rest of the Fed Board are actual, you know, economists.
Economists know that rates are actually too low right now.
Uh oh. This may be TACO's cue to try out his SCOTUS-conferred assassination immunity on Powell.
Or blow an artery (fingers crossed).
Or his cue to wilt like an old rag.
Old rag is what comes to mind when I hear the word Trump.
In TACO's case, ain't no mutual exclusivity there. :D
