They have hit the bottom of the barrel so hard and so often that they are touching the dirt beneath the barrel.
A cartoon in the style of Studio Ghibli depicts rapist and convicted felon Donald Trump working at a desk on the left side of the screen. The right side has propaganda writing that insists the rapist and convicted felon Donald Trump will make America safer. Beneath it is the video description Lo-fi MAGA Video to Relax/Study To US The White House 1.6k Watching Live

I mean:
A screenshot from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Death_panel that reads, "By mid-August 2009, about a week after Palin's initial Facebook note, the Pew Research Center reported that 86% of Americans had heard of the "death panels" charge.[3] Out of those who had heard the charge, 30% of people thought it was true while 20% did not know.[3] For Republicans, 47% thought it was true while 23% did not know.[3] Oberlander said the false warnings of a "government takeover" and "death panels" from Republicans drowned out the "Democrats' focus group–tested mantra of 'quality, affordable health care' ".[83] Morone said the White House was not able to offer a "persuasive narrative to counter the Tea Party percussion", and "struggled to recapture public attention", contributing to Republican Scott Brown's election.[84] The election of Brown in the special Senate election in Massachusetts was a surprise victory for Republicans[85] and a setback for the chance of health care reform under Democratic leadership; Brown won the historical Senate seat of the late Democrat Ted Kennedy, ending the Democrat's supermajority of 60 in the Senate."

The URL now leads to a 404 page, but here's the original:
BRIDGEPORT, W.Va (WDTV) - The West Virginia Democratic Party is calling on the lawmakers to immediately remove an amendment that would allow health care providers to visually inspect a child’s genitals for purposes of verifying biological sex without parental consent from Senate Bill 456. The amendment was introduced by House Judiciary Chair J.B. Akers The bill would reaffirm the meaning of sex, male, and female in state law, “preserve single-sex spaces” for women, and “promoting accuracy in sex-based data collection.” Delegate Kayla Young (D-Kanawha County) says she introduced an amendment in the house that would require parental consent to physicians checking children’s genitals. That amendment was largely rejected. (ADVERTISEMENT) “It’s unconscionable that Republicans would support legislation that authorizes intrusive visual inspections of minors without parental approval,” Young said. “West Virginians should be alarmed and disgusted by this invasion of privacy.” SB 456 was passed by the Senate Tuesday 32-1 with one Senator absent for the vote. In the House, 90 delegates voted in favor, eight opposed, and two were absent. It now heads to Governor Patrick Morrisey’s desk to be signed into law. Copyright 2025 WDTV. All rights reserved.

Musk has made similar proclamations, calling for an American “Sulla,” famous for being the first Roman general to march his army on Rome, seizing control by force. Retired Lt. Gen. Michael T. Flynn seems ready to take up that role and has continued to call for various “black swan” events, and has made repeated warnings about potential assassinations, including of Donald Trump. We have seen how rapidly public opinion can now shift based on the interplay between traditional media, social media, and authority figures. The Silicon Valley Bank run and the crisis of confidence in Joe Biden following his poor debate performance shared similarities. In early 2021, I circulated a memo privately in Washington suggesting that Musk and Thiel were aiming to do the same thing to the US dollar. And now we see that plan coming into place, with Thiel, Musk, Russia, and other right-wing media planting seeds of doubt in the dollar. Thiel ally Balaji Srinavasan just published an article arguing that default is unavoidable. Inserted image is a headline that reads "Trump-Vance Administration Could Herald New Era for Dollar Both candidates on the Republican ticket have argued that the U.S. currency should be weaker to support American exports." New York Times Headline, July 16, 2024 (NY Times)

Going into the weekend like
A scene from Silver Linings Playbook (2012). Robert De Niro as Pat Solitano sits in a plaid chair watching a football game. He wears a green Philadelphia Eagles cardigan and is holding a matching handkerchief in his left hand. His face is concerned. Behind him, past the dining room setting and almost out of shot, his wife and son are arguing in the kitchen.

#DoSomething: Even if your senator isn't on this list, pick up the phone. Here's a script, but personalize it with your own reasons (there are many) not to confirm.
Hi, my name is [NAME] and I'm a constituent from [ZIP]. I'm calling to urge the Senator to oppose the nomination of Robert F. Kennedy Jr. for Secretary of Health and Human Services. Kennedy has no scientific background and has promoted dangerous lies about vaccine and drug safety. Samoan children d*ed because of him. He is a direct threat to public health and has no business running the world's largest public health agency. Thank you for your time.

President Barack Obama at the 2024 DNC emphasizing convicted felon Donald Trump's obsession with crowd size. The left side image has President Obama's hands in front of him, stretched away from each other to create distance. The right side image has President Obama's hands in front of him, but held closer with little space between them.

Just a few months ago you (truthfully) called him a danger. Now you’re softening his image by using children’s stories. Stop it.
The Inquierer. Opinion. To serve his country, Donald Trump should leave the race. Editorial. Biden had a horrible night Thursday. But the debate about the debate is misplaced. The only person who should withdraw from the race is Trump.

After following the directions you should see a 🚫 button where the Follow one used to be. Like so:
The Lee Greenwood Spotify page with no follow button visible because the artist has been blocked by the user.

1) Visit the artist's Spotify page on your mobile or desktop.
2) Look for the three dots, usually next to the follow button.
3) Click "Don't play this artist".
The Lee Greenwood's Spotify artist page. The drop down menu that appears after clicking the three dots next to the follow button. "Don't play this artist" is highlighted for selection.

Yet TikTok went from "A law is forcing us to do this" (even though President Biden is not enforcing the ban) to "Trump will save us, say thank you".
Screenshot of a TikTok notice that reads, "Important update from TikTok We regret that a U.S. law banning TikTok will take effect on January 19 and force us to make our services temporarily unavailable. We're working to restore our service in the U.S. as soon as possible, and we appreciate your support. Please stay tuned." Dismiss Screenshot of a TikTok notice that reads, "Sorry, TikTok isn't available right now A law banning TikTok has been enacted in the U.S. Unfortunately, that means you can't use TikTok for now. We are fortunate that Donald Trump has indicated that he will work with us on a solution to reinstate TikTok once he takes office. Please stay tuned!"

As head of the General Services Administration, Emily Murphy caused resources and intelligence briefings to be withheld from Biden.
A tweet from @JoeBiden dated November 20, 2020 at 2:07 PM reads "Here's the deal: Because President Trump refuses to concede and is delaying the transition, we have to fund it ourselves and need your help. If you're able, chip in to help fund the Biden-Harris transition." It includes a now-defunct Act Blue link to the campaign's page.

I wonder how soon it will be before movies that feature banned books also get banned. 😑
A scene from the movie Dan in Real Life (2007). Steve Carell holds up a copy of the book "Everybody Poops" for Juliette Binoche. They are standing in a bookstore.

🧾Receipt: The Hill on March 12, 2023 states that "last year" (so 2022) Donald Trump shared the idea of pardoning insurrectionists if he won.
"Trump, who said at a rally last year that Jan. 6 prisoners were being treated 'very unfairly' also said that he was 'supporting' some of the defendants and will consider pardoning their sentence if he were to win a second White House term in 2024. The money raised off the single will be directed towards the families of the defendants, Forbes reported." Source: The Hill, March 12 2023.

I don't believe John Furner, CEO of Walmart, purchases his groceries, household goods, or birthday and holiday gifts from Walmart.
John Furner, CEO of Walmart, a white man with graying hair, wears a black coat over a white button-up and stands in front of Walmart produce displays. The CBS chyron reads "Walmart's DEI Rollback Signals A Shift." A salary.com graph breaks down John Furner's compensation as president and CEO of Walmart according to proxy statements filed in the 2024 fiscal year. Over $1.2 million was salary, $2.8 million was bonus, over $10.8 million was awarded stock, and $464,463 came from other types of compensation. The total is an estimated $15.4 million.
