Trump is a fascist racist classist homophobic transphobic xenophobic misogynistic rapist whose name appears over 38000 times in the Epstein files, and some of y’all are fine with it.

I'm so white I look like an Irish vampire, and I have zero problems with a great and beautiful actor like Lupita Nyong'o playing Helen of Troy. Folks, don't bother acting like white people are underrepresented.

Trump is a serial rapist, a raging fascist, and an unapologetic bigot who apparently shits his pants in public regularly. To say I fail to see the appeal is the understatement of the millenium.

I just learned that the great Sal Buscema died three days ago. He was one of my very favorite comics artists. I particularly loved his work on the Spider-Man titles. RIP, sir.

Man, even by MMA standards, Josh Hokit is a piece of shit. #UFC324

@paramountplusbr.bsky.social Bad enough you’re a mouthpiece for fascists and bigots. Now you’ve fucked up watching the UFC too. Why do we have to wait until the entire show is over to watch on demand? Why do you use thumbnails that give away who won?

The Xenophobe-in-Chief is at it again. Hey Donny, attacking the most vulnerable populations makes you a bitch, not a tough guy.

Trump loves superlatives, so here's one for him: No one in history has every spent so much time talking and talking and TALKING without saying anything of substance.

Just a quick reminder that the fascist cowards in ICE need to be in jail, as do the people who employ them.

All those small-government, don't-tread-on-me, second amendment worshippers must have left their guts in their other pants.

Someone on Threads just said that ICE is an army of Kyle Rittenhouses. Yep!

ICE cowards murder a woman on camera. The Coward in Chief has already defended them.

The people saying "Let's give Trump a chance in Venezuela; maybe he'll introduce democracy and do good things with that oil" would be funny if they weren't so damn stupid.

I just saw Andy Borowitz call Stephen Miller "Pee Wee German," and now I can't stop laughing.

We have now reached the point where Canadian TV is airing uncensored episodes of a venerable American news program because the network is owned by a fascist.

Isn't it strange that no one has found any pics of Trump with any of his sons sitting on his lap?

Someone tell JD Vance that America is NOT a Christian nation. It's a nation with a lot of Christians in it, but we don't have a state religion. If you're thinking you might like to change that, I refer you, for instance, to the history of Western Europe.

More of my favorite Christmas songs: I don't have a video of my family singing this a capella on Christmas Eve, so this will have to do.

"I'm going to start another oil war so you won't pay attention to healthcare or the Epstein files or the cratering economy" is peak Trump.
