If Marjorie Taylor Greene really wanted to send Trump into a tizzy she could simply change parties. The Democrats wouldn't be pleased to have her, but at the same time it would be a move to make the next month really interesting.

One of our Federal politicians has just changed party, from the (more right wing) junior partner of the (right wing) Opposition coalition, to the growing racist party - hmmmm

Said Opposition got almost wiped out in the election earlier this year - they lost women & young people & inner city electorates, so are going further right (let us sing a few bars of When will they ever learn) And he as gone even further ...

Sandra, that gets into the kind of stuff discussed when Charlie Kirk was murdered. It wasn't, as Trump et al hoped "antifa," it was someone even more to the right who thought Kirk was too wishywashy.

”Sandra, that gets into the kind of stuff discussed when Charlie Kirk was murdered. It wasn't, as Trump et al hoped "antifa," it was someone even more to the right who thought Kirk was too wishywashy.”

Which probably explains why we’re not hearing anything about the shooter and his prosecution, at least on major news outlets here in the UK. If he had been someone from The Left who did for Kirk, we’d never hear the end of it. The same situation seems to exist in regard to the guy who fired the shot that, if you believe in fairies at the bottom of the garden, ‘wounded’ Trump’s right shell-like.

And will someone please tell the MAGA dipshits that ‘Antifa’, as an organisation, does not exist - it’s a political movement…

I realise I’m preaching to the converted on this Forum, but I see so much horse-puckey on the internet from Righties, I think it’s worth stating facts about the Anti-fascist Movement vs. their nonsense.

Good link, BWM.

You'd think that since the Trump/MAGA groups are so hot to label anyone who opposes them "antifa" that they'd give it a moment's thought. Anti-fascists. Anti-Trump-who-is-fascist. They're characterizing themselves as fascists by naming groups they think are opponents.

Just a thought.

The meaning of "Anitifa" in the United States is a little misleading.

"Antifa" isn't commonly used to designate just anybody who opposes Fascism or who fought against it World War II.

When the right talks about "Antifa," they mean that teeny-tiny number of political thugs prepared to use violence not just against actual Fascism, but specifically and more often to advance communism or, possibly more often, anarchism. "Antifa" presumably consider FDR and the Clintons "Fascists." (I can remember when "Antifa's" predecessors, like the Weathermen, were stridently denouncing Johnson and Nixon as "Fascists.")

In right-wing fantasy, "Antifa" is all over the place.

But as so often has been said, there is no coordinated "Antifa" organization. Just a tiny, tiny, disorganized network of potentially dangerous nuts.

President Donald Trump drew swift backlash online Monday after claiming in a Truth Social post that filmmaker Rob Reiner and his wife Michele were killed because of Reiner’s opposition to him in what he called an “incurable” case of “Trump Derangement Syndrome.”

Reiner and his wife were found dead in their Brentwood home on Sunday with wounds consistent with a knife attack, one source told TheWrap on Sunday. Police arrested the couple’s son, Nick Reiner, on Sunday night, according to media reports.

“Rob Reiner, a tortured and struggling, but once very talented movie director and comedy star, has passed away, together with his wife, Michele, reportedly due to the anger he caused others through his massive, unyielding, and incurable affliction with a mind crippling disease known as TRUMP DERANGEMENT SYNDROME,” Trump posted to Truth Social Monday. “He was known to have driven people CRAZY by his raging obsession of President Donald J. Trump, with his obvious paranoia reaching new heights as the Trump Administration surpassed all goals and expectations of greatness, and with the Golden Age of America upon us, perhaps like never before. May Rob and Michele rest in peace!”

Little Green worm.

Since you are so comfortable
hiring people whose minds have
been hollowed out by worms,
I’ve been thinking about

a little green worm that has
worked its way into
your anterior insular cortex,
the part of the brain

where empathy originates.
Empathy is the ability to understand,
feel, and share the emotions of
another person.

It is like a muscle,
which is to say:
you can develop it with practice.
The little green worm quickly devoured yours.

He then munched onward
until he came to
the prefrontal cortex,
which is involved in

impulse control
and regulating social behavior.
It’s meant to stop us from blurting out
vulgarities such as

“Grab her by the pussy” and
“Shithole countries” or accusing all
Mexican immigrants of being criminals,
rapists, and drug dealers.

There is one of your outbursts however,
which remains both
unfiltered and true:
“I could stand in the middle of 5th Avenue

and shoot someone,
and I wouldn’t lose any voters.”
What’s a little green worm to do
but munch on to the cerebrum,

which is the big one, responsible for thought,
language, memory, reasoning and learning,
for all the functions that make up basic
intelligence.

But oh shit: there’s nothing there.

However pathological you suspect Trump may be, he used to have an affable side...bing bing.
By the way he now admonishes reporters and is blatantly cruel and charges headlong into retribution, he is relishing his killing orders and immunity. He grinds his heel on American heroes without laughing, even though vengeful people believe he who laughs last laughs best.

He now expects to be worshipped under threat of treason.

The Brownshirts are back in the form of ICE. Trump has reopened the same concentration camp that was used for the Japanese Americans during World War II. There are currently 3,000 immigrants there, with hopes to expand it to 5,000. One difference is that there is no forced labor; however, conditions are reported to be horrendous.

This is a Trump administration thread.

Unemployment is now 2/3 higher than under Biden. AI is already increasing unemployment. Fewer young people are hired and are replaced by AI. The year 2026 is expected to witness a sudden and drastic rise in job losses.

The credo of this administration is "if it ain't broke, break it".

Regarding concentration camps, I have seen the pictures of the former Japanese camp with continuous roofs instead of separate cabins.

From the Huffington post

Prior to that exchange, as soon as he wrapped up his speech, Trump turned to the two journalists present and asked: "You think that’s easy?"

He then sipped his Diet Coke before singling out New York Times photographer Doug Mills, telling him he'd rather be in his line of work, "just click click," the White House press pool report noted.

The world would rather he was in that line of work.

Thanks Raggy ~ I think I understand your posting ~ censoring "free speech" was a means employed by many dictators in the past and so it continues it seems

Govt should be by collective measures and not by a simple Executive order or Statutory Instrument with no previous discussion and consideration of the Impact of such law before Senate or Parliament in my view

To not do so is ultra vires and therefore illegal ~ a tool of a dictator of course

Social media has few outlets to complain and is therefore all powerful

It's all about inflicting pain as they keep turning the screw to make more people unhappy and unhealthy. The removal of funding for treating young people who experience gender dysphoria is going to lead to a lot of suicides.

At one time I had my doubts if as many people who felt that was their condition were correct, or if they were easily influenced or following a trend. But that isn't my business, and furthermore, a lot of people have been helped and if they change their minds later that's up to them to deal with. It isn't up to Trump and his ilk to practice medicine without a license based upon what they think about a particular topic (in the Xtian Nationalist domain).

From Mary Geddry on Substack, commenting on the Pulitzer Prize Board’s response to being sued by the Fat, Orange Baboon. Makes perfect sense…

“This week’s installment of Trump v. Reality comes courtesy of the Pulitzer Prize Board, which has decided it is done indulging his tantrum and would now like to see… well, everything.

Medical records. Psychological records. Prescription histories. Tax returns. Financial holdings. Foreign gifts. Crypto assets. Liabilities. The Pulitzer Prize Board isn’t asking for a sliver of context or a carefully curated snapshot, they’re demanding the whole damn filing cabinet, prying open every drawer Trump has spent a decade slamming shut.

Oh yeah!, and while we’re at it, documentation proving that all those other lawsuits, the E. Jean Carroll cases, the CNN suit, the ABC settlement, the CBS meltdown, the Wall Street Journal–Epstein birthday card fiasco, actually caused the billions and billions of dollars in harm Trump keeps claiming. In short: Show us your work.

This is all unfolding in a defamation lawsuit Trump himself filed after the Pulitzer Prize Board committed the unforgivable sin of calmly explaining why it refused to rescind the 2018 prizes awarded to the New York Times and the Washington Post for their reporting on Russian interference and the Trump campaign. The Board commissioned two independent reviews. Those reviews found that nothing in the reporting had been discredited by later facts. The prizes stood.

Trump responded the way he always does when confronted with facts: he sued. According to Trump, the Board’s explanation defamed him. Emotionally devastated him. Ruined his reputation. Cost him untold wealth. Possibly disturbed the very molecules of his being. He demanded astronomical damages in Florida state court and waited, presumably, for everyone to cower.

Instead, the Pulitzer Prize Board chose violence. Their discovery requests are a thing of beauty. Not flashy, nor rhetorical, just brutally literal. If Trump is claiming emotional or physical injury, they would like the records supporting that claim, all of them, going back to January 1, 2015. Including prescription medications and annual physicals. And if he is not claiming such injuries, they would like him to say so in writing.

That sentence alone is doing more work than most congressional committees. Trump’s entire litigation persona depends on simultaneously being the most harmed man in America and the most private. He wants to claim catastrophic emotional damage without ever explaining what that damage looks like, who diagnosed it, or what treatment it required, if any. The Board has now forced him to choose: either the harm was real, or it wasn’t. And either way, the paper trail matters.

Then come the finances. The Board would like Trump’s tax returns from all jurisdictions, with all attachments, schedules, and worksheets, from 2015 to the present. They would also like documentation showing every source of income, every asset, every liability, and every gift worth $100,000 or more. If you’re going to claim you lost billions, they politely suggest we should probably see what you had in the first place, and who was giving it to you.

The lawsuit has stopped being about defamation and now looks like an unsolicited audit of Trump’s entire adult life.

And just when it seems it can’t get better, the Board turns Trump’s own legal hobby against him. If the Wall Street Journal injured him by reporting on his 2003 birthday letter to Jeffrey Epstein, then he must produce the documents. If E. Jean Carroll damaged his reputation, he must produce the documents, and reconcile them with the jury verdict finding him civilly liable for sexual assault. If CBS, CNN, and ABC cost him billions, he must show the proof. If being accurately described on television caused him harm, he must explain how.

Trump has filed hundreds of defamation lawsuits, each one inflating his supposed suffering to cartoonish proportions. The Pulitzer Prize Board has simply said: fine. Let’s see the evidence.

And here’s the part that makes this such a delicious spectacle: Trump always loses interest when discovery gets real.

We’ve seen this movie. When Michael Cohen fought back by immediately serving discovery and noticing Trump’s deposition, Trump delayed, dodged, claimed he was too busy, tried to push dates months out. Judges ordered him to sit. Trump blinked. And then, right on schedule, he dismissed the case and ran away rather than answer questions under oath.

The Board isn’t just defending journalism, it’s calling Trump’s bluff in the one arena where his bravado collapses: sworn testimony backed by documents.

Trump can posture on cable news, rage on social media, and file lawsuits by the dozen. What he cannot do, and has never been able to do, is withstand sustained, disciplined scrutiny of his records, his finances, or his health.

Trump will either comply and open the vaults, revealing a trove of information he has spent years fighting to keep hidden. Or he can do what history suggests he will do: stall, deflect, scream “witch hunt,” and eventually walk away from his own lawsuit rather than let anyone see what’s inside.

Either way, the rest of us get to enjoy the show. I’m stocked up on popcorn and Prosecco is chilling.
