have been thinking about this for like two hours and I think what stands out the most is that Trump feels genuinely honored. he has no conception whatsoever that it is complete horseshit invented to flatter him. he loves it!

Two corrupt lowlifes shoulder clapping each other on stage. Who would have thought #FIFA could sink to even lower lows.

When Infantino announced that FIFA for the first time was awarding a World Peace Price I thought "Oh no, they won't stoop that low...", but of course they did. So we ended up with two corrupt lowlifes shoulder clapping each other on the stage.

Shameless and despicable.

They’re killing people as a twitter joke. It’s depraved. Can’t let yourself lose the capacity to be appalled and disgusted and outraged by this.

Rachel Maddow: "Russia is a podunk country. The idea that we work for him is so humiliating and is such an abject failure on the part of Trump in terms of his weakness. I don't know what Putin has on him, but he works for Putin and it's an embarrassment to this country"

That kind of sums up my feelings. Never forget how the Magalomaniac got there.

Suddenly he began writing in sheer panic, only imperfectly aware of what he was setting down. His small but childish handwriting straggled up and down the page, shedding first its capital letters and finally even its full stops: April 4th, 1984. Last night to the flicks. All war films. One very good one of a ship full of refugees being bombed somewhere in the Mediterranean. Audience much amused by shots of a great huge fat man trying to swim away with a helicopter after him, first you saw him wallowing along in the water like a porpoise, then you saw him through the helicopters gunsights, then he was full of holes and the sea round him turned pink and he sank as suddenly as though the holes had let in the water, audience shouting with laughter when he sank. then you saw a lifeboat full of children with a helicopter hovering over it. there was a middle-aged woman might have been a jewess sitting up in the bow with a little boy about three years old in her arms. little boy screaming with fright and hiding his head between her breasts as if he was trying to burrow right into her and the woman putting her arms round him and comforting him although she was blue with fright herself, all the time covering him up as much as possible as if she thought her arms could keep the bullets off him. then the helicopter planted a 20 kilo bomb in among them terrific flash and the boat went all to matchwood. then there was a wonderful shot of a child's arm going up up up right up into the air a helicopter with a camera in its nose must have followed it up and there was a lot of applause from the party seats but a woman down in the prole part of the house suddenly started kicking up a fuss and shouting they didnt oughter of showed it not in front of kids they didnt it aint right not in front of kids it aint until the police turned her turned her out i dont suppose anything happened to her nobody cares what the proles say typical prole reaction they never —

This is straight out of Orwell:

Bottomless vileness. Or is there a cabinet opening coming up soon she is auditioning for?

the batshit American government is forcing children’s book publishers to put out the absolute wildest statements

National Defense Ministry Honors 11 Soldiers for Refusing Illegal Orders National Defense Ministry Honors 11 Soldiers for Refusing Illegal Orders Honored for rejecting illegal orders during martial law, Marine death probe

The South Korean Ministry of Defense has awarded medals of merit to 11 officers for disobeying direct orders of superiors during the martial law fiasco, orders that they deemed to be contrary to the constitution and endangerment to democracy.

In his confirmation hearing Hegseth stated he had thought "very deeply about the balance between legality and lethality."

Apparently he came to a conclusion.

She might want to start with broadening HER horizons.

While #NYT and #WaPo and even the #WSJ finally are waking up, break the news on the corrupt and criminal trump regime and show some backbone, #BBC displays what @timothysnyder.bsky.social calls anticipatory obedience.

Who loves Costco even more now? ✋🏾

They not only didn’t bend the knee when it comes to DEI, they’re taking Trump head-on.

Great video and I do share your sentiments. I'm afraid, though, you start from the wrong premise here. The vast majority of those goons don't share your (our) values or sense of decency. They are happy with what they are doing, just for financial and/or ideological reasons.

It’s actually worth watching this, starting around 35 minutes. It is the most Nazi-loving, racist apologia I’ve heard in some time. Tucker argues the UK was wrong to “get involved” after Germany invaded Poland because the result is a less-white country.

A perfect example of anticipatory obedience and cowardice. This is how democracy dies.

Great! "But don't kid yourself she's done."

This is what you get after the BBC caved after running their piece correctly implying that Trump instigated the failed Jan 6 coup.

The US government under Trump is an epic money laundering scheme. They’re robbing the taxpayers blind for crap nobody asked for!

My first thought as well.

Not just here.

“UK is costliest country to…”

- build nuclear power

- build fast rail

- build a house

- buy a house

- rent a house

- travel by train

- buy a beer

- power your home

- insure a car

- stay in a hotel

- go to the dentist

- buy bog roll

At least some museums are free….

Charges dropped against Utah doctor accused of throwing away $28,000 in COVID vaccine doses The federal government has dismissed charges against a Utah plastic surgeon accused of throwing away COVID-19 vaccines worth thousands of dollars during the pandemic.

This is fu*king outrageous!

The federal government on Saturday dismissed charges against a Utah plastic surgeon accused of throwing away COVID-19 vaccines, giving children saline shots instead of the vaccine and selling faked vaccination cards.
