Oh, boo-hoo to right-wing pearl clutching over Olympic skier Hunter Hess's remarks about his "mixed emotions" representing the U.S. right now, given the horrific turn our nation has taken under Trump's regime. Let's free the Olympics from all symbols of nationalism, and make it truly a global event.

Disheartening to learn that Vance and spouse thought it necessary to foul the Olympics by delivering unwelcome Trumpstink to the Olympics. Many booing in the stadium did not appreciate their presence.

This is a long read, but most informative. You can skim to the part about ballot and machine seizures in Puerto Rico, the bit making the connection to the imprisonment of Maduro, and Trump's plan to nationalize the coming election. Write your reps & senators.

Perhaps instead of focusing on alleged Somali fraud in Minnesota, the nation would be better served if Noem turned her gaze to her own state:

“I am doing the same thing to the United States of America, but only on a ‘slightly’ larger scale!”"

Does Donald listen to the words coming from his own mouth, or is he simply that clueless?

"Even if the physical overhaul succeeds, the center will still have the same problems of audience, artists, and staff when it’s done—only in a gaudier space. In effect, Trump appears to have graffitied his name on an empty shell.

Now the preternaturally thin-skinned Trump vows to sue Grammy host Trevor Noah for some slight. Anyone else sick of how this manbaby can tie our court system into wicked knots? I can't believe a U.S. president watches every awards show, ready to chase down quips made at his expense. Sweet Baby Jesus

Trump temporarily closing the Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts. Of course it has nothing to do with the venue's recent revenue hemorrhaging, and everything to do with badly needed rebuilding - I mean, many "experts" say so, according to wrecking ball Trump ("I'm a builder. It's what I do.)

You really can't argue that ICE isn't a fascist militia. All you need to do is to look at the totally accurate comparison with the Diary of Anne Frank.

I have posted before that ICE is Trump's equivalent of Hitler's brownshirt militia "infamous for their operation outside of the law and their violent intimidation of" people disfavored by Hitler (leftists and Jews). This photo makes an even more visceral comparison.

If you're a woman home alone, or a single woman & 6 masks men come to your door, dressed in tactical gear, I bet you'd be petrified.
You don't know if these men are legit, because they won't identify themselves. Or you're abt to be gang rape & killed.
