And then there's this video, of officers talking with each other about what they just witnessed.

"We didn't have a chance," one officer said. "[Trump] was still giving his speech, and I just had to leave, because he's basically just telling people to come down here and rip this place down."

For years, Venezuelans have suffered under a dictator, dreaming of the day they would have a fatter, orange one.

Because we live in the United States of Amnesia, the media hardly mentions the last time we orchestrated an oil company coup in Venezuela and kidnapped their president. The cameras were rolling. It failed miserably. Great doc shows it all:

Here is the fake Trump Kennedy Center parody account, started by a South Park writer, that is giving the Trump administration fits.

You know in movies where they kinda wipe their hand gently over the face of a dead guy and it closes their eyes. It would be a good gag if they did that on a guy with glasses. Either his eyes close or the glasses turn into sunglasses.

RFK Jr: "Two weeks ago we ended, under your leadership, a twenty year war on women".

Three out of five men in this shot have been accused of sexual misconduct, harassment or abusive behaviour towards women. A fourth signed into law a near-total abortion ban in his state as governor.

Ten years ago today, I posted on FB this meme someone had made from a scene in "Ask Me Anything" (my movie based on my novel Undiscovered Gyrl). Not much has changed in the past decade, except that the problem has gotten worse.

If you get high—or if anyone you know does—please read these two testimonials. There’s a dangerous drug circulating right now, sold cheaply in smoke shops and even gas stations. It’s legal everywhere except Florida, which banned it early. It’s called 7-OH.

It's time for us to get off our lazy asses and start clicking some online petitions.

Yes! Any smart, sane president would have said. "The directive is, of course, correct. Ignore any unlawful order. As your commander-in-chief, I pledge to you that I will never give you an illegal order."
'An ordinary president, Kelly told us on Tuesday afternoon, would have responded to the video by affirming that troops should of course follow lawful orders. “But not this guy,” he added. “We basically said, ‘Follow the law.’ And he said, ‘Kill them.’”'

The pursuit of Mark Kelly in the military-justice system sends a clear message to service members and veterans.

Can confirm.
Twitter accounts are based in Russia. BlueSky accounts are based in homes with, frankly, too many books, plants, obsolete cables, and pieces of rustic pottery, that could do with a bit of a tidying up, to be honest.

Remember when Obama was president?

"Half the nominees filibustered in the history of the United States were blocked by Republicans during the Obama administration. Of 23 district court nominees filibustered in U.S. history, 20 were Obama's nominees."

Trump defended Carlson, saying the former Fox News host has “said good things about me over the years.”

Except on Jan. 4, 2021, Carlson texted, "We are very, very close to being able to ignore Trump. I truly can't wait. I hate him passionately. I can't handle much more of this."

Mango Beast is so dumb that he’s threatening us (like a mobster) with investigating Democrats’ involvement with Epstein. He doesn’t get that if Clinton did something illegal, they can send him to Devil’s Island for all we care. We’re not a damned cult!

No, it wouldn't be, and he doesn't think so. But the fact that it's happening at this time, highlights the shamelessness of it.

McGovern: Seriously, we were worried. We actually started handing out missing person posters. Nobody has seen you for eight weeks. But, hey, I'm glad that you are ok. I'm glad you survived your nice, two-month paid vacation
