Airport lounges no longer separate the haves and have-nots.
Sure, Perrier instead of seltzer, but same chaos. Sean Duffy says dress up to “restore civility.” Lipstick. Pig.
Godspeed to everyone flying home for the Christmas encore.

Holiday Travel: Flying Passengers Like Herding Cattle
Holiday travel isn’t glamorous; it’s a cattle call with stale croissants. Even the airport lounge has become just another holding pen. And no amount of “Sunday best” can hide the indignity of modern a...

So much for Trump’s cosplaying diplomacy. Putin isn’t even pretending to indulge his Nobel fantasies anymore. He’s making Trump look like an even bigger chump than Hitler made Chamberlain look. And instead of waving a bogus peace treaty, Trump is just flailing like a “Putin puppet” on a string.

A judge ruled just last week that National Guard deployments, like those in other “blue cities,” are illegal. Yet Trump’s response is to deploy another 500 troops. Because soldiers are nothing more than cannon fodder for his military bluster. Wake up, America!

Republicans crusade for mass deportations until it’s someone in their own family. You watch: Leavitt will fight to save her brother’s Latina baby mama… unless he actually wants her deported. You never know.

Thanksgiving 2025 should be a celebration. Instead, families are counting bills instead of blessings, while politicians pretend life is “wonderful” even as millions slide toward modern breadlines.

Thanksgiving 2025: Everything Settled In Conflict Again
Thanksgiving should unite us, but in 2025 even the dinner table is divided. Families are fighting, bills are piling up, and democracy itself feels up for debate.

Meghan just wants to live like a royal without all the duties and responsibilities of having to work like one. So nobody should be surprised that this imperial shrew expects Americans to be even more deferential to her than the British ever were to the Queen.

Democrats building a digital media army is smart. Doing it with influencers who look like a Young Republicans mixer… not so much. Frankly, it looks like they’ve joined MAGA’s anti-DEI crusade, too. Can’t beat ’em… join ’em?

We used to say “a penny for your thoughts.” But now nobody has pennies… or thoughts not trapped in their phones. With cash disappearing and even coins becoming relics, bitcoin is looking like the one coin to rule them all, and not minted by the US Treasury.

Bill, you’re saying you’d keep breaking bread with relatives cheering Hitler’s plans to exterminate all Jews... because “family is family”? Pro tip: When MAGA trolls are quoting you to defend their fascistic white-supremacist hate-isms, you’re not the sensible centrist… you’re their useful idiot.

Oh dear, as if this family (especially Caroline) hasn’t endured enough tragedy. My thoughts and prayers are with Tatiana and her family. Surely her brother Jack will suspend his congressional campaign to spend whatever time they have left together. Politics can wait; family can’t.

Because everything MAGA manages turns into a grift. Trump has turned the Kennedy Center into a private club for MAGA cronies and bribing suck-ups. And ticket sales are plummeting because no self-respecting American will attend anything under their kakistocratic management.

Not since Clarence Thomas railed about a “high-tech lynching” to keep uppity Blacks like him in their place has a "darkie" displayed the self-hating paradox of trying to be more White than White supremacists to show they belong in the GOP.

Trump keeps losing his anti-democratic cases, like this Texas gerrymander, thanks to the Democracy Avengers led by Marc Elias. In fact, Elias is as much a foil to Trump’s Jim Crow 2.0 as MLK Jr. was to Bull Connor’s original Jim Crow. That's why I hereby nominate Elias for the Nobel Peace Prize.

Earth to people outside MAGA world, these are intended to be political persecutions, not criminal prosecutions. For Trump, indictments and arrests, with all the humiliation and costs they entail, constitute enough retribution.

Pro tip: If you're a citizen or legal resident and ICE stops you, don’t refuse commands to show ID or step out of your car. Refusing will only lead to unnecessary damage to your car (and possibly to your body), while ICE just moves on with impunity to the next target.

Not since Trump betrayed and banished Jeff Sessions (the first senator to endorse him in 2016) has one of Trump’s betrayals been so redolent with schadenfreude. But if MTG ends up like Charlie Kirk, Trump will not only pretend he had nothing to do with it, he’ll hint at pardoning her assassin, too.
