You should add the chase music from The Benny Hill show to this clip. It sums it up perfectly.

Live from "war ravaged" Portland

“Fascism is a political system built on control, fear, and loyalty to a strong leader. Fascism attacks democracy.”

A quick primer on fascism and anti-fascism:

I just watched "A Big Bold Beautiful Journey". This film is a wonderful romantic tale that emotionally grabs you by the heart and sweeps you away. It deserves an audience. It is so well done.

Absolutely so wrong. I have solar on my house. It's the best decision ever.

We'll have to now wait for another more intelligent administration to undo this mess.

Gee -- Really? No. Getting preferential treatment for favorable testimony surrounding Trump with Epstein has become expected with this administration.

Insanity.

Interesting video. Too many questions with the reality of that moment and this video now only adds to those questions.

I'm an avid viewer of Deadline White House and a huge fan of Smartless. So listening to you and Jason Bateman the other morning was, as expected, just a great conversation.

How has insightful, normal conversation become so rare?

I can't even wrap my head around what universe we're living in anymore. I swear this has to be a simulation and the designers have changed the settings to absurd lunacy with a side of moronic idiocy.

How else do you get a criminal president with a decoy first lady?

Saw this.

Everyone knows but too many chose to believe the facade. From Mad Magazine 1992.

This new PC form of reporting rocket launch failure should be reported as it is -- Fuel leaked caused it to blow up. That's what happened.

When one lands within a form of the film Idiocy I have to laugh.

A college professor caught a student who had used AI to write an assignment. He apologized to the professor with an email written by? Yep.

After-tax income under the Trump/GOP budget:

-People making less than $17/k year: LOSE $1000
-People making between $17k and $51k/yr: LOSE $700
-People making over $4.3M/year: GAIN $389,000

This is what class warfare looks like.

Clueless.

Perfection.

Anyone surprised?

The next president has to do two things: 1) right the wrongs of Trump and go after those who broke the law and were corrupt. 2). Then spend time divesting power from the presidency and building real guardrails and passing laws like, “the president is not immune” etc.

And get the money out

Putin suggested holding direct negotiations in Turkey on May 15.

President Zelenskyy with his team arrived in Turkey.

Putin is absent. Instead, he sent a non-representative delegation with no decision-making mandate.

Does Putin want to achieve peace and stop the war? The answer is obvious - no

Aaaand there it is.

You're not a genius if you take an economic structure, tear it apart and then begin to put all the pieces back together where they once were. It's not even a good slight of hand.

As if we don't have enough issues within the FAA and commercial aircraft, now the Navy. Just saying, this stuff didn't happen prior to Jan 20th.

Trump Is to Accept a Luxury 747 From Qatar for Use as Air Force One

Aside from the obvious law violation here, it will take the US gov’t months to dismantle this plane and try to find all the embedded bugs and trackers: www.nytimes.com/2025/05/11/u...

I can't figure out how that country can keep up with new recruits to fill the openings. And where are the families who are losing so many husbands, brothers etc.? We see nothing of them. As if this entire loss of life is okay with them. And I get that news is suppressed but still...

Then it's a good thing we have a man leading the fight for vaccinations to rid this...oh wait. Sorry he's from Earth 29 while we're on Earth 01. Never mind.

The hypocrisy is beyond belief or understanding. How is a country built upon laws, rules and procedures turning such an abhorrent blind eye to all of this?

If you’re not alarmed yet you’re not paying attention

(🎁) GIFT LINK to a stunning but also inarguable New York Times piece that says in no uncertain terms that America is no longer a democracy but an autocracy.

The joke is sadly always on us.
