The election in Israel this fall looks like it’ll be like the Hungarian election. A broad coalition of pro-democracy parties, left, center, and right taking power. All the polling is showing a crushing defeat for Bibi and his toadies in the Likud, the incompetent fascists Smotrich and Ben-Gvir, and the corrupt black-hatted draft dodgers.
What he is, is a crook and a liar, who brought actual monsters like Smotrich and Ben-Gvir into the government so he could retain his hold on power.
It’s actually a little sad-or would be, if it weren’t for the consequences. He grew up in the shadow of his older brother Yoni, the hero of the Entebbe rescue mission in 1976. He’s spent his life trying to prove to his cold asshole of a father that he’s worthy.
OT: Trump fired the board of the National Science Foundation. Unfortunately, his ballroom has not distracted him from utterly destroying science in America.
(dabs at eyes) It's a week away for me. Again. This will stop happening, as I have one last payment to zero out the credit card debt. I could, of course, cut back, but where's the fun in that?
Silly me -- I thought CPAC just lived off American fascist largesse, but apparently that wasn't enough, and they were taking money from Orban too. You know the problem with being a conservative is that eventually you run out of other people's money.
***Magyar told CNN that neither MCC nor CPAC would receive state funds under his government. ‘I believe the state should never have financed them in the first place. It was a crime. Mixing party financing with government spending from the state budget is, in my view, a criminal offense.'***
"White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt blamed rhetoric from prominent Democrats for the shooting on Saturday at the White House Correspondents’ Association (WHCA) dinner.
“This political violence stems from a systemic demonization of him and his supporters by commentators, by elected members of the Democrat party and even some in the media,” Leavitt told reporters at the White House press briefing on Monday.
“This hateful and constant and violent rhetoric directed at President Trump day after day after day for 11 years has helped to legitimize this violence and bring us to this dark moment,” she said.
Leavitt argued the “left-wing cult of hatred” against President Trump and his supporters has gotten multiple people hurt and killed, and it “almost did so again this weekend.”
Gee, Karoline. I didn't realize it was members of the "left-wing cult of hatred" who killed Alex Pretti and Renee Good (among others that I could name).
What's the demonization? He acts like a fucking mob boss, promoting violence against his opponents literally for his entire political career. He has literally always acted like a thug, including his childhood. Any violent rhetoric is done in reaction and in kind against his own. And he his factually, legally, a rapist, and very probably a pedophile. There's no demonization, he just behaves like a demon.
Trump calls for Jimmy Kimmel to be fired after joke about ‘expectant widow’ Melania
President Trump is calling for ABC’s late-night comedian, Jimmy Kimmel, to be fired over a joke the host made last week with a punch line saying first lady Melania Trump has the “glow” of “an expectant widow.”
Kimmel’s joke came during an episode of his nightly show that aired just two days before a gunman tried to storm the annual White House Correspondents’ Association dinner on Saturday, an attack that authorities have said was targeting the president and other top administration officials.
Hit dogs be hollerin'. The more defensive they get about a statement the more truth there is to that statement. I bet she tells him to his face that she wishes he were dead on a regular basis.
The joke is funny because we all know she is going to be the happiest person in the world on that day. Barron will be set and she will have her slice and she can GTFO to wherever it is she wishes to live however that looks and she will never have to see, smell or touch that vile man again. I wouldn’t do it the first time but she and I have different responses to how much is enough.
I hope he never sleeps again. That motherfucker did this and these are the consequences of inciting violence and division. Couple that with his entire history of pedo and rapist.
The headlines in my newsfeed today are a tad on the WHAT THE FUCK NOW side. However, this one caught my attention and I actually thought about how good it would feel to scream my fucking head off....if it weren't for the kitties and Paul.
From Really American on Substack
BREAKING: Senate Republicans say Hegseth has a failing grade and wouldn't be confirmed today, Melania demands ABC fire Kimmel, and King Charles lands to clean up Trump's mess
The White House press secretary said “there is no difference at all” between Democrats’ rhetoric and the written manifesto allegedly circulated by the suspect.
So all an American would have to do to use the White House Ballroom would be to invite the President. WHCA dinner? Invite Trump and you can have 2,000 of your closest friends at the WH. Little Shawna’s Bot Mitzvah? Invite the President and you can plan it here in case he agrees to come. Seems good for one and all?
I wish her the longest, most painful childbirth experience in history. Like the 15 months of torture she's subjected the rest of us to, and then her head pops right off.
This seems a little insane: "Indiana is an open-carry state, meaning anyone aged 18 or older who the state hasn’t deemed an “improper person” can legally possess a firearm in public without a license."
Same in AZ as far as I can tell. I’ve seen people doing it anyway. That’s why I quit going to Spring Training. I’m a namby pamby about people who are so insecure that they need to wander around with a loaded weapon, but my weapon of choice is a smart ass remark which could get me shot.

Whoa that's so...hopeful! Gasp!
Bibi might actually face some consequences unlike a certain orange toad.
Good. Bibi is a monster!
As far as I know, he doesn’t eat canned clams.
What he is, is a crook and a liar, who brought actual monsters like Smotrich and Ben-Gvir into the government so he could retain his hold on power.
It’s actually a little sad-or would be, if it weren’t for the consequences. He grew up in the shadow of his older brother Yoni, the hero of the Entebbe rescue mission in 1976. He’s spent his life trying to prove to his cold asshole of a father that he’s worthy.
I would love to see Bibi put in prison. Give the Mad Shitter something to think about.

If he didn't want people to call him out for being a fascist, perhaps he shouldn't have behaved like one, KKKaroline?
He thinks he can act anyway he wants and people should never question that because he's perfect in every way.
Seems to me that the vast majority of angry aggressors who've lashed out most viciously toward the Fetid Fascist are disillusioned Rethuglicons.
Can you imagine?
It's "Democratic Party," you complicit bitch.
I think a law suit is in order. Discovery can begin with the Epstein files.
We'd never get the truth. These assholes are worse than Bill Barr.
Gee, Karoline. I didn't realize it was members of the "left-wing cult of hatred" who killed Alex Pretti and Renee Good (among others that I could name).
What's the demonization? He acts like a fucking mob boss, promoting violence against his opponents literally for his entire political career.

And he his factually, legally, a rapist, and very probably a pedophile. There's no demonization, he just behaves like a demon.
Calling Trump a pedophile rapist isn't really "demonization" since it's probably 100% true.
He's a convicted sex pest already.
Demented, corrupt, and incompetent aren't speculation.
Nor are they a way to go through life.
Son.

Truth about him is systemic demonization. Uh huh.

There is no proof that Barron wasn't conceived in a test tube. She ALSO may never have touched him or his 10 picometer pole.
Fuck Trump.
Thin-skinned asshole criminal rapist.

That's also the source of all the gun problems in Chicago.
Chicago, IL is a very short drive away from Indiana. All the gang types go there to buy their guns, 'cause there are almost no rules about that in IN.
If only IN would get some sense into them, things might get a little better. After all, I think 0 people have enjoyed getting shot.
You're welcome - this has been big news in the metro this weekend.
Has evaded my radar because of the WHCD.
Your comment has connected the dots.
Not even a gang - but an "improper person" can buy a gun if they lie.
