I would like someone influential to put Rosie O'Donnell's name on the list for this years Nobel Peace Prize. Might just be the stroke trigger we've been waiting for.

Trump using Rosie O'Donnell as a misogynist punch line at the 2015 debate--a Twofer! He punched Rosie AND Megyn with one uppercut--marked the bright red line when we crossed into open season on women, minorities (Gotcha too, Barack!), and anyone visibly not a member of the white male Alpha class. If we had thought it was on its way out, we were not only wrong, we were fatally wrong. Because in its wounded state it was coming for all of us "like a bitch."

Disabled reporters, Kathy Griffin, Hillary, "Antifa" (the myth, not the reality)...All would be trashed and swept aside. "Cucks" like Joe Biden? Also trash. Might makes right. #MeToo is a faded memory, while the backlash to it seems like it will never die.

We are living through the greatest backlash in the nation's history. Greater even than post-Reconstruction horrors? Those eventually ushered in the civil rights movement. This one...I can only pray it will usher in something besides the end.

Ta, Marcie. Recently, I bought my own copy of Marge Piercy's sweeping epic of a WWII novel, Gone to Soldiers. One of the reasons I wanted to reread it is the arrest and stripping of citizenship from Parisian Jews. Too many echoes of our reality.

Twenty years later, and her shoe is still wedged firmly in his ass.

Rosie O'Donnell's social media post is brilliant.

Meanwhile the Ennobling Ceremonies for Roseanne Barr holds a $20 million spot in the One Big Beautiful Bill. Hope there's time to get the mongoose fur out from between her teeth first!

I love Rosie O'Donnell, am glad she was able to get out and hope she has a great life in Ireland with her family.

OMG, Rosie's impersonation of Donald on the View was…chef's kiss. I love her!

Normal libs! You forgot that unlike a good citizen, Rosie did not send her list of five ways she celebrated MAGA last week, putting her citizenship at risk.

I wish every one Trump has slandered or libeled would sue him.

Confession from an Old Guy who Never Watches TV --- Until this blew up I didn't really know who Rosie O'Donnell is, and had her confused with .... Roseanne Barr!

From that clip, though, I gotta say, she's fabulous.

Oh those innocent days of 2006 when Krasnov was just an obnoxious game show host and the answer to a trivia question about Back to the Future II.

Little did we know.

The question being "who is the biggest smelliest asshole who appeared in the movie Back to the Future II?"

They must REALLY be planning on being in power permanently. Otherwise, they wouldn't be so cavalier about calling for the exile of native-born citizens.

You see, there are plenty of right-wing, Bible-humping, racist scum WE'D like to kick out "for the best interests of our country." Do they REALLY want to set up a precedent for that?

That's just a pathetic attempt to change the narrative, but this time it's not working as TACO has trended and there is blood in the water with the Epstein Files which even the MSM sees as clicks and eyeballs.

Rosie will fade but Epstein is the "man who won't die" to quote a moron.

Topical, from Slate (today):

"Recent neuroscience discoveries reveal a chilling picture: Your brain on revenge looks like your brain on drugs. Brain imaging studies show that grievances—real or imagined perceptions of injustice, disrespect, betrayal, shame, or victimization—activate the “pain network,” specifically the anterior insula. The brain doesn’t like pain and tries to rebalance itself with pleasure. Pleasure can come from many things, but humans have evolved to feel intense pleasure from hurting the people who hurt us, or their proxies.

But unlike other addictions, to gratify revenge cravings, you’ve got to hurt the people who hurt you (or, again, their proxies). And when you do, you experience pleasure … for a while. But then, as with other addictions, the pain returns with a vengeance, leaving you feeling worse but wanting more." https://slate.com/life/2025/07/drug-brain-addiction-revenge-public-health-death.html

If "not in the best interests of our country" is the criterion upon which stripping Americans of their citizenship is going to be based, then the line down Pennsylvania Avenue is going to be extremely long.
