The Derangement of the Conservative Mind (Cont'd) Plus: MAGA embraces the bloodlust

"If you do a Google search for 'ICE raid this is what I voted for' you will get a quick sense of how MAGA supporters are celebrating the cruelty of Trump’s deportation regime."

Good @sykescharlie.bsky.social roundup on MAGA sadism here (includes our pod):

Absolutely. This is utterly disgraceful. At some point, the perpetrators need to be brought to justice.

We should be able to rescind all pardons issued by an insane person.

A “Dressbarn” in Muncie, Indiana had been named the inaugural winner of the FIFA “Most Super Glamorous Parisian Haute Couture” award.

Supporting Supreme Court expansion is pretty close to a litmus test for me for a 2028 Democratic candidate.

WOW! AN HONOR! — GCN

Mockler: It's honestly humiliating that other countries are treating our president like a child, like a baby. It's like if I created a peace prize and I gave it to myself. I'm like, I'm just going to keep this medal on all night. Our president is an actual child

When the Dems are back in power you need to send DHS back to where it was in the 1990s. When it didn’t exist.

My constituent, Wilmer, was mauled by an ICE attack dog despite the fact that, as he has consistently explained, he was not resisting arrest or trying to flee—his wife and young children, all U.S. citizens, were forced to watch helplessly as Wilmer was violently attacked and dragged away.

If the Democratic Party retakes Congress, the first duty is accountability. Every crime, every abuse, every betrayal of the public trust must be unearthed. If we look away, we teach future generations that power excuses corruption.

A claim, I might add, only a Republican could make or believe.

Two shirtless guys in deep ocean, trying to stay “in the fight” against the U.S. military with its missiles? What a claim!

This is where we are

The cons had abortion as their organizing issue. Not sure we can make the Supreme Court ours, but hell, let’s do it.

Democrats Need to Treat the Supreme Court Like the Villain It Is The Court is out of control, and we'll never see reform unless we build the case for it. Starting now.

Democrats need to lay the groundwork for reform by attacking the villains on the Supreme Court - loudly, angrily, personally, relentlessly. And they should start now.

The Roberts Six have thoroughly politicized the Court and turned it into a reliable arm of the RNC.

Democrats should have no reservations about calling them out for it, demanding resignations from these bought-off hacks and running on a promise to enact sweeping reforms.

This is not The Onion. The American president really did get a made up award from FIFA. Thinking Americans are embarrassed.

It happened again: The Trump administration has admitted illegally deporting a man to Guatemala despite an immigration judge's order that he was likely to be tortured there.

A judge has ordered the administration to facilitate his return by next week.storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

When you see brown people as less than human, your reasonable assessment gets lost in the paranoid psychotic thought processes of Pete and his Department of War.

NEW info on shipwreck attack. It gets worse.

The 2 survivors climbed atop wreckage and waved to overhead.

"Some of the people viewing the video thought ... could have been an attempt to surrender"

Others "said the most logical explanation was ... signaling for a rescue."

Five corporations control 90% of the US media market.

Airlines merged from 12 major carriers in 1980 to 4 today.

Four giants control 80% of meat processing.

The evidence of corporate consolidation is everywhere.

It means more power for them and less freedom for you.

Friday night Tequila Tweet: Fuck all my former colleagues who turned my former political party into a cult. Into a proudly stupid, authoritarian-embracing cult. Fuck their fear. Fuck their selfishness. Fuck their cowardice. They’ve done real damage to their country.

It’s a participation trophy for dummies.

What a total asshole Tom Cotton is. I hope he’s caught sunbathing sometime.

It really is amazing that the president has a noticeable an unexplained physical ailment that is disfiguring his right hand and there's no reporting about it. The White House's line is that it's from Trump shaking too many hands! Something is clearly being covered up.

These clowns.

Today, on the 31st anniversary of the Budapest Memorandum with its useless security assurances, we are facing a repeat of history as EU leaders warn of the risk of a peace deal without strong US security guarantees.

Strength is the only true guarantor of peace for the EU.

This has got to be the plan of every Democratic candidate for national office that is serious about being elected.

SCOTUS is nothing more than an arm of the GOP. Expand the Court. Impose term limits.

The White House surrenders at 138 million views. Sabrina wins.
