Can't wait to see how they carry this hoohah into the Zoo. Anti-communist deprogramming for the Red Pandas? Checking the capybaras for "terrorist" tattoos? Deporting Macaws for wrong-think? (And good luck to anyone trying to root out natural instances of hermaphroditism or same-sex bonding--in any animals, not just humans.)

I see a radical Disney animated feature in the future...better than Wicked, because just the animals, no American Idol singing competition involved.

I read a post from a friend, later confirmed to be filed under "The Onion, At Least for Now," that Elno's history purge had gone as far as to shut down Holocaust museums.

I replied that, whether or not true, at least he doesn't have jurisdiction over Auschwitz. That would probably lead to Dear Leader renaming it "The Many Fine People Who Used To Work Here Memorial."

Ta, Dok. I love the Smithsonian; I love museums. Can't wait to see what this slash-and-burn group of nogoodniks has planned for the Museum of the American Indian, which is in lower Manhattan. Replace it with displays dedicated to oil and gas exploration? Museum of the American Cowboy? Who the fuck knows!

He's probably going after the Smithsonian because PBS and NPR folded damn fast so hey, maybe the Smithsonian will, too.

I'm just waiting for them to start trying to remove statues of NON-white people. Because you KNOW that's on their wishlist.

There is absolutely nothing patriotic about Krasnov and his minions.

Reeducation anyone? Glenn Youngkin taking over Virginia state schools, DeSantis doing the same in Florida, even Penn State may close as many as 12 of its 24 campuses.

I suppose "The Spirit of St. Louis" will be scrapped. Might be a good idea.

It would make a great Air Force One.

Last time I went to the National Zoo, that commie panda they had there tried to eat its ration of bamboo in a very "I hate America" way. Right in front of my childrens! The complaint I filed of course went nowhere with any of those socialist zookeeper thugs. So I had to take things in my own hands. Now, don't tell anybody but late one night (I won't disclose which for security purposes although you can check out my insta for a pretty cool selfies reel using my night vision scope) I easily evaded the leftie-slacker "guards" they pay to eat avocado toast and binge watch the West Wing and successfully achieved the Chairman panda enclosure. Before I could eliminate the threat however, I was viciously counterattacked from behind by an unreported hoard of real commie red pandas that stripped me naked and nearly castrated me with their made in China knife ware. I barely escaped with my life. Let this be a lesson to you: Never trust a marxist animal that eats shoots and leaves!

I imagine that executive order sounds better in the original German. Or Russian. Possibly both.

That order was probably authored by either Von Ribbentrop or by Molotov.

If we're going to erase historical events let's start with Nov 5, 2024

Back in the day when the Air and Space museum was putting together an exhibit on the Ebola (don’t say) Gay right wingers got their panties in a twist over the suggestion that incinerating hundreds of thousands of civilians might not have been an entirely wonderful thing and forced a white-washing of all exhibit text and graphics.

When the National zoo opened their Think Tank exhibit focusing on animal cognition fundie outrage over the phrase “humans and other animals” was revised to “humans and animals”. Now that I look back at it I admit that we don’t deserve to groups with the rest of the animal kingdom. Hell, even the Cyanobacteria don’t want to hang with us.

The Ebola Gay dropped a bomb that ended 100,000 lives.

Prophecy or autocorrect? These are dark times.

Eight five-star officers in 1945 — Gens. Dwight Eisenhower, Douglas MacArthur and Henry Arnold, and Adms. William Leahy, Chester Nimitz, Ernest King and William Halsey — later called the atomic bombings either militarily unnecessary, morally reprehensible, or both. Nor did the bombs succeed in their collateral purpose: cowing the Soviets.

If the Mad King has his way. His inchoate cloud of stochastic terrorists has proved one of his most effective tools for imposing his will on Amurkkkka, cuz how do you defend yourself against his murderous pack of "lone wolves"? Even when the political motive AND the inspiration for an act of domestic terrorism could not be more plain to the objective eye, we can always count on our defenders of freedom to sweat it&d not what it looks like, and shame on you for noticing what is really going on, it's hurtful and divisive to denounce our shit-stirrers just because some commie gets hurt.
