exfuckingscuse me? there are no guarantees? I seem to recall that there was this guy who campaigned on the GUARANTEE that he would make prices come down on day one. “Starting on day one, we will end inflation and make America affordable again, to bring down the prices of all goods.” that was Donny, lying out of both sides of his face on August 1, 2024. he spun that bullshit over and over, and hoodwinked so many voters into believing his ‘prices down on day one’ fairy tale that they handed him the presidency. and now we’re being told that there are no guarantees? fuck you, and fuck the turbocharged golf cart you rode in on.

Bravo to the bartender at The Chatterbox in Indianapolis and bravo to @jefftiedrich.bsky.social for writing about it.

these MAGA shitstains stepped inside the Chatterbox and immediately cranked the asshole dial way past eleven. they shouted. they got abusive and confrontational. they deliberately misgendered the bartender. and they got tossed the fuck out. and then, they came back in and recorded the clip you saw at top of this post — and went whining to the media about it.

on the one hand, kudos to John Roberts — because it’s pretty extraordinary for a Chief Justice to rebuke a sitting president. but on the other hand, fuck John Roberts. he’s done as much as anyone to kickstart us into this hellish nightmare, first by ruling in favor of Citizens United, and then by declaring that Donny is a Very Special Boy Who Gets To Do All The Crimes He Wants. but that’s John Roberts for you. he’s happy to toss your rights into the shitter, but when Donny starts coming after judges, suddenly he finds his voice. ‘I hereby decree that the leopards shall not partake of my face, nor of the faces of my judicial brethren.’ you gave a madman unlimited powers, John. what the fuck did you think would happen?

obviously, this is a one hundred percent bullshit story. Donny hasn’t spent five minutes raising any of his children. that’s what wives and nannies are for. there is no freaking way Donny is diligently policing Barron’s computer usage. Donny could give a fuck about any of that. but this is the fairy tale that Donny improvises on the spot — some clownfuckingly ludicrous story about how Barron is a genius because he knows how to turn on a computer. instead of saying to Donny ‘excuse me, you fucking lunatic, are you having a stroke right now?’ Laura Ingraham just nods her head like it’s the most perfectly reasonable anecdote she’s ever heard. she has to sit there and pretend that it all makes sense. and not just Laura — the entire wingnut propaganda ecosystem is duty-bound to report with a straight face every fucked-up thing Donny says, as if Dear Leader weren’t a barely-functional demento whose tertiary-syphilis-stewed brain went fuckity-bye ages ago.

he’s so fucking stupid that he thinks magnets stop working if they get wet. he’s so fucking stupid that he thinks exercise is bad for you. he’s so fucking stupid he thinks windmills give you noise cancer. he’s so fucking stupid that you don’t even have to use his name — all you have to say is ‘he’s so fucking stupid’ and everyone immediately knows who you’re talking about.

uh oh, noises are coming out of Fox News found object Jesse Watters’ face-hole again. “I have rules for men. like you don’t eat soup in public. you don’t cross your legs. and you don’t drink from a straw. his excuse was I was drinking a milk shake. again, you shouldn’t be drinking a milk shake. milk shakes are for kids.” I have a rule for Jesse Watters: shut the fuck up. guys, can we talk? the last thing anyone needs to be doing is living their lives to the dictates of some toxic Fox News meathead. no well-adjusted dude thinks about any of this shit. you want to suck on a straw? then fucking suck on a straw. who gives a shit? worrying what other people think doesn’t make you manly — it makes you weak, insecure and fragile.

NEW: Judge Boasberg orders DOJ to file by noon tomorrow, under seal (and ex parte), more info about the two planes that were in the air when the judge issued his temporary restraining order, to assess whether DOJ violated his order.

So ORDERED by Chief Judge James E. Boasberg on 3/18/2025. (Icjeb1)

Yes, it's like pulling teeth, but so far it's producing results, in that DOJ gave the judge info today that they were unable or unwilling to give yesterday, and I expect the same will be true tomorrow

'sold as slave labor to El Salvador' is I honestly think a fair way of describing it
reichlinmelnick.bsky.social Aaron Reichlin-Melnick @reichlinmelnick.bsky.social · Mar 18
Totally agree with this. Flying a person to a third country that they may never have been to, directly into a prison where they are going to be forced to do hard labor, is not a deportation; it's something else entirely.
cad6711.bsky.social c-a-m @cad6711.bsky.social · Mar 18
@washingtonpost.com They were not DEPORTED. Deported means sending them back to their country of origin. These people were sent to a maximum security prison in El Salvador, without any due process or any analysis as to whether they feared harm in El Salvador!

From a source: “Just had a co-presenter for a buildings research conference bow out. She’s a dual citizen and the FBI came knocking to ask her about her involvement in coauthoring chunks of the Paris Agreement.

Climate science is being literally (and I mean literally) criminalized.”
