The Death of CBS News

John Oliver has the deets:

The TOFF Speaketh

He's speaking to the Knesset right now. I tuned in for a few seconds, he was blathering about "gas stations in the sky".

Back in the day, I was on a ship that made a port visit to Haifa. I signed up for a bus tour that, as a bonus, drove past the Knesset building. The tour guide identified the building as "our national circus".

So it's fitting that our Orange National Clown is speaking to the Israeli National Circus.

Trump's Dementia is in High Gear

This is what he said:

Dementia Patient One has forgotten that he was the president on 1/6/21.

Nor can he do math, which is pretty pathetic for a graduate of the Wharton Business School:

Tip of the Day: Never Let LICE Into Your Home

Even if there are no migrants in your home and they ask nicely, turn them away. Because they'll come inside and kill your dog.

I could say something about ICE taking its cues from DHS Secretary Cosplaying Kristi the Puppy Murderer, but the truth of the matter is that killing family dogs for fun is what cops do.

Because It's Friday

For that big Northern, pulling two cars is like pulling a feather mattress.

No Peace Prize for Trump

If you were to read the citation for Maria Corina Machado, the winner of the 2025 Prize you might conclude that DPO's[1] (and Pee-Wee German's) push to institute a dictatorship will be disqualifying for his public campaign to get one.

We all know why he wants one: Obama got one, so he wants one. It's as childish and no more complicated than that.

[1] Dementia Patient One.

The RFK,Jr. Experiment

He is just throwing out crazier and crazier shit to see how gullible the American people are, and how much crazy Republicans will accept until they push Dementia Patient One to fire him.

This is his latest bit of verbal sewage:

Robert F Kennedy Junior has claimed that circumcision raises a child's risk of being diagnosed with autism.

Speaking at today's televised cabinet meeting, the Health and Human Services Secretary said: 'There's two studies which show children who are circumcised early have double the rate of autism. It's highly likely because they were given Tylenol.

This is almost as nuts as watching Putney Swope run an ad agency. He is just going to keep on tearing our public health system into ruins while Trump and the brain-dead MAGAidiots cheer him on. Either he's running an evil experiment or his brainworm is eating more and more of his cortex. He is just weird as fuck.

The "Peace" President

Last month, the Rev. David Black stood in front of a Chicago-area U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement facility and spread his arms wide. Adorned in all black and wearing a clerical collar, the pastor looked up at a group of masked, heavily armed ICE agents on the roof and began to pray.

“I invited them to repentance,” Black, a minister in the Presbyterian Church (USA), said in an interview. “I basically offered an altar call. I invited them to come and receive that salvation, and be part of the kingdom that is coming.”

But when Black began to lower his arms a few seconds later, the agents responded to his spiritual plea by firing pepper balls, or chemical agents that cause eye irritation and respiratory distress, video footage shows. One struck Black in the head, exploding into a puff of white pepper smoke and forcing him to his knees. Fellow demonstrators rushed to his aid, and as the pastor rubbed his face in pain, the agents continued to fire.

“We could hear them laughing,” Black said.

Lying ICE representatives said that protestors were throwing rocks, but none of that was on the video. And, according to the manual for those weapons, the lying ICE agent who fired should be charged with attempted murder:

Meanwhile, the Puppy-Killer went to Portland to see the hellscape for herself. She went up to the roof to see the Trump-bleated devastation for herself:

And this is what she saw:

The same dain-bramaged man who has been agitating for a Nobel prize has been working tirelessly to instigate a civil war and end democracy in this country.

On another note, Dementia Patient One is going in for his "annual physical," even though he had one six months ago. Only in Trumpworld does "annual" mean "every six months".

Republicans Keep on Lying for Fascism

Before a federal judge blocked Donald Trump from putting members of California’s national guard on the streets of Portland, Oregon, late on Sunday, the state’s Republican party welcomed the planned deployment in celebratory posts on social media.

“President Trump on Sunday deployed 300 California National Guard troops to Portland, Oregon after a judge ruled that the Oregon National Guard could not be deployed to keep federal facilities and personnel in Portland safe,” Oregon Republicans wrote on their official Facebook, Instagram and X accounts.

On all three platforms, the statement was illustrated with an image that seemed designed to support Trump’s false claim that protests against immigration sweeps in Portland are so out of control that the city is “burning to the ground”. On one side of the image, a line of police officers held riot shields; on the other, a crowd of young men held up flares that lit up a night sky filled with red smoke.

On closer inspection, however, it turned out that the image was not a photograph of a real event in Portland, but instead a fabrication created by combining two photographs of scenes that unfolded in South America nearly a decade apart.

Republicans are lying to support Trump's push to turn this country into a police state. They are not loyal to the Constitution, they are loyal to Trump.

To be an active Republican is to be a traitor. They are the Confederates of this century and they are just as evil as the Confederates were.

Everything DHS/ICE Claims is a Lie

They are lying about the woman they tried to kill in Chicago.

ICE lies and fabricates. Their so-called agents are totally lacking in moral character. They are mask-wearing, heavily-armed cowards. They are badged-up terrorists.

The GOP gave ICE more money than any other law enforcement agency. The next congress controlled by Democrats needs to defund it.

ICE is beyond saving or redemption.

Burn it to the motherfucking ground.

It’s What Dictators and Kings Do

They put their faces on money.

For 224 years in this country, those whose faces were on money and stamps were dead.

But that's a tradition that the Senility Patient-in-Chief wants to break. It's also the law, but that doesn't matter to Trump. He's already a convicted felon, so what are a few more laws to him?

Since he's making the Oval Office look like Saddam Hussein was using it, it's only fitting that he adopt another tradition of tyrants and put his ugly mug on a coin.

Because It's Friday

The Locomotion replica:



200 years ago last month, the original pulled the first passenger train on a public railroad.

Top-Grade MAGA Voter Fraud

Jack Posobiec, a top-level MAGA loudmouth about voter fraud, lives in Maryland and votes in Pennsylvania, using his parents' address.

Ity's pretty much the MAGA reality: Everything they complain about is stuff that they themselves are doing. Voter fraud is rare, but it seems to be concentrated among Republicans and MAGAidiots.

Google Comes Down on the Side of Trump

Goggle's tilting the table on searching about Trump's senility. Try it yourself: Run a search on Google AI for "Trump senile". It'll give information on Biden.

The tech bros and the oligarchs are all bending their knees to the Obscene Orange Senile Pedo. Don't trust the results that you get from Google.

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. We do the same.

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.
