The Knock on the Door in the Middle of the Night

There was a time when that was considered thr hallmark of police states, of totalitarianism. There was a time when that was widely understood in this country, that only secret police, like the Gestapo or the KGB, did that.

Not any more.

If you are in favor of this, you know who and what you are. Which is not an American who believes in freedom.

Discount Goebbels Threatens to Arrest Everyone Who Calls Him Names

That's pretty much what he's going on about.

He's a fascist and so is his increasingly demented boss. It's a good question as to who is actually running things and it's likely not the Orange Bloated Fuckwad.

Meanwhile, as Seth Meyers pointed out, a convicted felon is selling drugs.

We Shall Remember

We will remember that Joe Biden did not discriminate against red states when money was distributed following the passage of his infrastucture bill. We will remember that in contrast to what the Bloated Senile Gasbag is doing now.

I've said before, and I'll say it again: The Golden Rule of Politics is I'll Do Unto You As You Did Unto Me. If the people in the Party of Trump don't think that we'll remember this and act accordingly when it is our turn, then they all have rocks for brains.

Shutdown

The Trumpist Party controls the entire government and yet they can't keep it open.

Or they don't want to, because then Johnson will have to swear in a new congressman and then the Epstein discharge petition will have enough votes.

Trump Loses His Shit (Updated)

He told the generals that he wants to use American cities as live training grounds.

And this:

Trump’s speech was packed with campaign references to his electoral victory and the perceived shortcomings of his political adversaries. The assemblage of uniformed officers sat stonefaced, expressionless and inscrutable with few smiles. Trump’s attacks on Joe Biden were met with silence. Some of his lines elicited polite ripples of laughter.

It's just insanity. And the generals and admirals in the audience all know it.

Added: Andy Borowitz pointed out that it was kind of ironic that a former TV host who installed a makeup room by his office in the Pentagon was lecturing senior leadership about masculinity. Or that he was the opening act for a fat, senile draft-dodger.
