Did we all watch last night's South Park episode? If not, do so immediately.

At my house I have limited basic cable, so I don't get all those channels that other people do. However while I was still at my grandparents' house late last night in PA, I watched a few South Park episodes on their T.V....and was lmfao at the episode about Trump. WELL DONE!!!

I also love rewatching this clip of Jon Stewart and a choir singing "GO FUCK YOURSELF!" He's another talk show host I'd love to get tickets for.

Rope is getting tighter. He has now resorted to saying Biden put his name in the files. I wonder if it's peaceful to be that demented.

I'm sorry for the image quality, but this gave me a needed chuckle this morning...

It reminded me of the song Charlie sings on its always sunny in Philadelphia. "Go fuck yourseeeeeeelf "

I don't approve but I understand (why he got his ass kicked, not what they want to do in response) But there is a hidden dog whistle here -- minors being charged as adults...

Former DOGE Staffer Nicknamed 'Big Balls' Bloodied in D.C. Attack

6:41 AM PT -- United States Attorney Jeanine Ferris Pirro tells TMZ ... “It’s time we start taking crime more seriously irrespective of the age of the criminal. No longer can we coddle criminals while innocent victims are being assaulted and maimed as young violent criminals avoid consequences...

This is funny

ICE Tried To Recruit With A "South Park" Picture And Got Shut Down By A Single Hashtag

What a weird timeline we're living in.

[omni]

white house and senators requesting fbi help in tracking down state representatives breaking quorum (in the texas constitution, this is fully allowed) to avoid wh-reqeusted redistricting to ensure party's political power by minimizing opposition voice/vote/legislative representation. bomb threats to the hotel these quorum hold-outs are staying at. governor asking state court to declare 'abandonment' argument against the quorum breaking reps and allowance to reappoint the seats to hand-picked replacements. state attorney general threatening arrest warrants, creating federal policing implications.

oh, and fema's probationary hires are being directed to report to ice within 7 days for assignment. i wonder if they had that on their 'new job' bingo card.

Just want to remind all Americans, the government cannot prove you received a piece of mail unless it is registered mail.

 

[Vixxen81]

Ooops I meant certified, not registered.

 

[yummybrownfox]

This pissed me tf off! I'm watching Roland Martin's interview with this man (a 29-year old Tennessee state representative) who was barred entrance to a public announcement held in his own district, and yes, that part (them telling him he's not allowed in) is shown here at the beginning of the video.

Brazen behavior is becoming more brazen and will rise to the boiling point of brazen responses. This will give them reason to start curfews, no-go zones, and increase width and severity of over-enforcement “for public safety.”

We are in the slow walk phase now.

First they came for the Communists
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a Communist

Then they came for the Socialists
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a Socialist

Then they came for the trade unionists
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a trade unionist

Then they came for the Jews
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a Jew

Then they came for me
And there was no one left
To speak out for me

I’m working on a quick updated rewrite for the current affairs.

Oh, man...how I wish South Park episodes were available to watch on Hulu or Peacock (I'm not paying for Paramount+...I've got enough monthly expenses as it is). I'll settle for watching clips online, and will watch full episodes the next time I'm at my parents' house. They've been going IN on Trump and that MAGA Kristi Noem chick who.....

*TRIGGER WARNING*






shot and killed her "untrainable" dog.

"Trump. His penis is teeny tiny...but his love for us is large."

Well, DC looks to be the test-bed for taking control of cities. This is fun.

Controlling what moves big industry makes is a cool way for government to further manipulate the economy and markets. Neat.

Openly stating that states gerrymander voting districts to allow one party to remain in control of all elected positions? Rad.

Nominating a cranial crater of an economist for BLS because you fired the guy who gave real numbers you didn't like? Cool.

How many people associated with Project 2025 have to be put in power before people quit believing dt didn't know what it was when it came out and caused all of the uproar?

And did I hear someone is now looking to try 14-17 yr olds as adults in court? And whispers of national age of consent for marriage to 14? "But why?" Maybe because dear leader has reasons to retroactively lower age to avoid prosecution for him and his friends? Did I mention that this country elected a racist, misogynistic, serial sexual assaulting, child raping, terrible human being who has now placed additional terrible human beings in positions of power?

 

[MarieElise]

Yeah, I hope Governor Newsome pulls through and toasts all their crusty old asses. I have high hopes for that guy. I believe in him.
I like that he's not trying to be all high and mighty; he's just going after them on their own level.
I'm so sick of pompous out of touch people; it's so nice to see someone just being real, and going for it.

The California State Constitution limits the redistricting power of the government. Fingers crossed and not trying to be a Debbie Downer here but there are hurdles. Unlike Texas, where there is nothing that stops the government from gerrymandering districts.

Yeah I know. But maybe others didn't who will read, so thanks for sharing anyway.
I'm more refering to his fire and drive. He's the kind of guy I believe won't give up, and will find a way. Unlike some of these other apathetic washouts.
He's going at him from every and any angle he can, relentlessly. That's what I like.
That's what is giving me hope, not the specific redistricting move, or the recent announcement that his office has info that will end Donald.
Governor Newsome has been going balls to the wall for weeks now, and I don't think he's gonna stop

More blue gov reps need to do what Newsome is doing. It's time to drop the "take the high road" politics because the powers that be don't do that, so we can't either. Fight nastier. Pull out all the stops. Get dirty in the trenches.

The fact that so many aren't doing that is why our own party is starting to doubt their own leaders. I feel it's a big reason we lost the pres election. People want actual action. Newsome seems to want to try that approach. I like it.

Thank you, this is exactly what I was trying to say, also. Exactly. It's not pretty, but it is what it is.
At this point, I don't want pretty; I want something done.

Too many things to add to the list of why everyone should be concerned with how this goes…



There is a very specifically targeted way the NG and active troops will be stationed across the country.

There is a distinct and specific reason the US has begun the process of nationalizing tech companies, Intel and AI to start…robotics…data mining…

There is a reason that up to 30% of US employees will need skills redevelopment in the next 5 years.

There is a reason the homeless, racial minorities, and social minorities are all having their rights smashed.

There is a reason media, political opponents, and any source of facts are being shamed through louder and louder echo chambers of lies.

There is a reason the US has stationed warships pointed at Venezuela.

All of the reasons the administration has given for any of these moves are lies. Look deeper.

Find your passports. Find your defenses. Find your voice. Fuck this lunatic and all of his friends.

 

[Vixxen81]

I'm afraid to apply for a passport. I have no upcoming international travel plans but what difference does it make if he says we can't leave at all? I mean everything else he's done so far was said to be impossible, illegal, immoral, violations of international treaties, actual treason and he's an adjudicated rapist and 34 count felon.

I do acknowledge and understand that fear.

I don’t have any impending int’l travel, but if much more shit gets thrown up into this damn fan, I may just be quickly changing that and jumping transport to GTFO.

I’m only hoping that foreign governments will not carte blanc hold US citizens directly responsible for the crimes and atrocities of the nutsack dictator, and generally identifiable paperwork will be necessary for recovering any and all livelihood when this nightmare is over.

I’m genuinely concerned I can’t take much more. I recognize I have the benefit and privilege of being able to leave, if that time arises, and I’ll do what I can to help anyone wanting to do so without the means.

I feel like I should've done it way sooner. But I have a dependent whose other parent still lives here and probably would never consider evacuating the US so I don't even know how to begin with that. I wasn't too worried before because I figured being in a blue state would buy me time, but it seems like blue states are going to be the first under Trump's thumb. I guess I should've expected he'd go for his enemy states first, I'm nervous to see how the NG will handle this because I know many of the deployed are young and may not share Trump's politics. Will they be willing to commit violence against their fellow citizens for some ambiguous lowering of an imaginarily high crime rate?

I deeply hope and must believe that there will be a majority of troops, NG and/or active duty, (and hopefully a significant majority of upper-rank, NCO or enlisted) that will openly and loudly disregard orders “against the constitution” when the time comes. A new civil war is in the balance, and this will be the tipping point for all-out escalation, imo.
