I was surprised when reading the South Park YouTube comments that so many people did not know that Noem shot her dog, learning of it only from South Park’s running gag of Noem shooting dogs. β€œApparently this is based on an actual events,” were many comments.

Trump’s incompetent lame ass staff used the hotel printer for Putin meeting stuff! We should assume everything is compromised, with these fools running things.

I was amused learning that, in the documents they left behind, they help Trump in the phonetic pronunciation for β€œPresident POO-tihn”!

It makes sense once you realize that every accusation is a confession.

β€œSouth Park” Skewers a Satire-Proof President The new season premiΓ¨re goes after Trump as never beforeβ€”and solves a problem that’s plagued comedians since his first term in office.

The creators of β€œSouth Park” realized something about Donald Trump early on: he’s an endless wellspring of material, but what he says and does is inevitably more absurd than any satire could be.

I remember scouring the newspapers the day after Colbert’s hysterical skit for reactions. I was stunned realizing the extent of the mainstream media blackout. That, along with the Jeff Gannon coverup and the firing of @froomkin.bsky.social from Washington Post, were pivotal events for me in 2006.

When I was little, the U.S. military came to our home at gunpoint and took me and my family away. We were imprisoned for years in barbed wire camps simply because we were Japanese American. I have spent my life telling that story, hoping it would never be repeated.

Democracy Wins a Referendum in South Korea The newly elected President defeated an increasingly authoritarian rival party. Can he bring the country back together?

The alliance between President Donald Trump and Elon Musk spectacularly imploded Thursday as the world’s most prominent bromance collapsed into mutual public trolling.

Here’s a breakdown of the breakup: wapo.st/43M5FQh

Unfit to Serve, Unseen by Choice Markets rally as Trump vanishes, while his administration quietly revokes emergency abortion rights, targets trans inmates, and chases political staffers down hallways.

Trump’s gone AWOL, #ElonMusk’s in gladiator mode, and DHS is arresting congressional staffers like it’s cosplay for a failed state. Meanwhile, a weatherman breaks down on air over #NOAA cuts and #PeteHegseth erases Harvey Milk during #PrideMonth.

I agree.

In a functioning democracy, we would already be in the midst of an impeachment trial.

Like Lindsey Graham before him, Marco Rubio is currently defining what it means to abandon absolutely every principle one used to hold dear. Today he shrugged at the idea that we might need to β€œmove on” from supporting Ukraine. But here’s how he used to sound:

I said my main goal of this trip was to meet with Kilmar. Tonight I had that chance. I have called his wife, Jennifer, to pass along his message of love. I look forward to providing a full update upon my return.
