As opposed to the terror of sandwich snipers?

Whither art thou, Andy Rooney?

"Sir, we'd like to all throw in and buy you a TV. Where should we have it delivered?"

Just like her orange overlord keeps losing in court. #AuntFester is a misery to all she touches. We could have elected the rocket scientist, but no, we chose this frumptastic failure.

Trump pardoned Binance cofounder Changpeng Zhao after Binance made a $2 billion investment in his family’s crypto venture.

Now Trump is claiming he has no idea who Zhao is.

Hello?

Obama’s stumping for Democrats. Trump’s at Mar-a-Lago. "If you believe in that better story of America," the former president told a rally ahead of Tuesday's elections, "don’t sit this one out. Vote ."

While tens of millions of people were about to lose their access to food stamps, what was Trump doing?

Throwing a Great Gatsby–themed Halloween party at Mar-a-Lago.

What’s at Stake in the Supreme Court Tariffs Case If the Court blesses the president’s use of emergency powers to evade Congress, the consequences would be profound.

The Supreme Court’s decision in the Trump tariffs case could shape whether the use of emergency powers to bypass Congress becomes routine. bit.ly/43OZTxQ

The Psychology of Goons: Why Authoritarians Always Find Enforcers From the Sheriff of Nottingham’s men in the Robin Hood legends to the Nazi Gestapo, Soviet KGB, Pinochet’s DINA, and modern police in various authoritarian states, the tyrants groom their enforcers.

In personalized regimes, loyalty—not competence—is the currency of survival. That’s why dictators often handpick their enforcers from trusted ethnic groups, family ties, or old friendships.

These enforcers know: if the regime falls, so do they. That’s why they go all in.

Brett Kavanaugh's behavior during today's second oral arguments has been incredibly obnoxious and rude. He is so eager to kill a service member's lawsuit against a negligent government contractor that he keeps interrupting other justices, raising his voice, and getting emotional. Weird and erratic.

Why?

Was there some provocation?

Cameras out, America. Get it all on video.

not to put a too fine point on this, but if Donny knew nothing about the person he was pardoning, THEN WHY THE FUCK DID HE PARDON HIM? pardons are supposed to be the result of careful consideration of actual miscarriages of justice. they aren’t supposed to be doled out like swag bags at some Great Fatsby golf motel party. either Preznit Fuckwit is lying right to our faces about not knowing the guy who helped Donny enrich himself to the tune of billions of dollars though a series of crypto scams, or he just admitted to unquestioningly signing whatever papers some toady puts in front of him. I’m not sure which is worse.

DEMENTED DONNY (LOW-IQ "LOSER") WENT ON 60 MINUTES AND CONFESSED HE HAD NO IDEA WHO HE WAS PARDONING. IF BIDEN SAID THAT, REPUBLICANS WOULD HAVE LOST THEIR FUCKING MINDS. I EXPLAIN THIS IN A "TREMENDOUS" POST LIKE NO ONE THOUGHT POSSIBLE. THANK YOU FOR READING IT HERE: bit.ly/3Xb5wCQ

Israel just arrested the former top lawyer for the IDF for leaking a video of Palestinian prisoners getting viciously sexually abused.

(Barely a peep in 🇺🇸 media about this)

Exploit The GOP's Nazi Meltdown Are we really going to accept the conceit that the central issue in politics is whether DEMOCRATS are too extreme?

If (knock on wood) Dems sweep Tuesday’s elections handily, can we ease discourse away from its obsession over whether Dems are too left wing to win, and take greater notice of the fact that Republicans are in a civil war over whether to be Nazis or merely lesser fascists?

A purported ally threatening diplomats and their families with personal consequences if they maintain the positions they’ve been instructed to take is very deeply shocking, extremely hostile, and undermines the norms by which non-violent resolution of international disagreements are possible.

Trump reverses course on attending Supreme Court arguments this week The president previously said he had “an obligation to go” to oral arguments in the tariff case at the high court Wednesday.

Just sayin’

US citizen shot in the back by ICE

Trump sued 60 Minutes for editing a Kamala Harris interview to “make her look better.” Yesterday, 60 Minutes edited Trump’s interview, removing numerous outrageous claims, which made Trump look less insane. Will Trump sue them for it?

It’s clear who the aggressors are. Keep remaining nonviolent, and record EVERYTHING. All of these masked ICE thugs will be held accountable.

“Shame on you!”

How tiny Qatar became Trump's indispensable ally

The 400 richest Americans are now worth a record $6.6 trillion.

The entire bottom 50% of America is worth just $4.2 trillion.

Read that back.

When 400 people control more wealth than half a country’s population, we have a very serious problem.
