Wait, *Sweaty Teddy* is at loggerheads with Trump again? I’m sure it’s only temporary. He’ll quickly go back to slobbering over his boss’s rear end. And not-so-surreptitiously swallowing his boogers before he does so.

Time to reopen the case into his father’s possible responsibility for the JFK assassination? Who knows? Maybe RFK Jr. will get in on the action, provided the brain worm lets him.

I really wish that the GOP grew some backbone. Everyone who cares about free speech and democracy need to insert themselves between Trump and the levers of control. Those who stand up to and stop Trump will be remembered as champions of democracy.

“Fascism should more properly be called corporatism because it is the merger of state and corporate power.” — (wrongly attributed to) Benito Mussolini
A intraparty civil war in the GOP is one of the better ways that America could end up keeping her democracy. It’s important that we pay attention to whether this escalates or not.

Ted Cruz exists to be dunked on by almost anyone, so he’s not going to do anything more than what he did, blurt out in a basic acknowledgment of the obvious.

„Unfair“ is not the same as „illegal“. There is no law that requires TV personalities to be „fair“.
One thing that I’ve seen conservatives say to justify Kimmel’s firing is that his comments were „misleading“. What I’ve havent seen anyone ask in response to that is…why does that matter? The government has no business, and no legal authority, to punish people for misleading comments. I wish more prominent people who point that out. Colbert played that clip on his show, and pointed put that Kimmel’s comments weren’t nearly as inflammatory as Carr made them out to be. But he didnt point out *why* that whole claim is made in bad faith and is so dangerous to free speech.
Right-wing media is full of misleading comments, but did you see Biden or Obama using regulatory agencies to pull them off the air?
It’s exactly the point that Cruz is making here.

I am NOT the Author but this is something we ALL need to read
“Collapsing Liberal and Conservative”
At our core, we are far more similar than we are different. Yet in American politics, the division between “liberal” and “conservative” has been amplified to the point where many people feel pressured to choose one side or the other, even when neither fully reflects their truth. This dualism keeps us distracted and divided, while those in power continue to benefit from the split.
When we step back, we can see that the heart of this divide is not about left or right at all – it’s about fear versus trust, scarcity versus abundance. Fear contracts, keeping us small, suspicious, and defensive. Abundance expands, allowing generosity, openness, and the sense that we all do better when we all do better.
Labels like “socialism” or “capitalism,” “left” or “right,” often become weapons in this game. Words get twisted, and ideas that could unify us are cast as threats. Yet when we look honestly, the real question is not about ideology but about relationship: how do we live together, share resources, and care for one another?
Education, travel, and exposure to new perspectives can help us see beyond the limits of our upbringing or geography. But even those who never leave their hometown, who live close to the land or labor in the same job for decades, carry wisdom. None of us are reduced to our political label.
The truth is that human beings everywhere want the same things: safety, dignity, belonging, and the chance to provide for their families. When we collapse the illusion of liberal versus conservative, we begin to see one another again as neighbors, not enemies. And from that place of recognition, abundance is not an ideology – it’s a way of living.
Right relationship means seeing beyond the labels that divide us. Liberal and conservative, left and right – these are costumes we wear, not the essence of who we are. When we meet each other beneath the labels, we find the same longings: safety, belonging, freedom, and care. If we relate to one another from abundance instead of fear, the old divisions begin to dissolve. What remains is not a side to defend, but a shared humanity to honor.

Cruz is right. What’s to stop a future FCC chairman appointed by, say, President Newsom from doing the same thing to someone like Sean Hannity?
Either Trump didn’t bother to have thought that out, or doesn’t give a shit about the future of the GOP.

There isn’t an ounce of exaggeration in that statement.
Over a thousand victims.
JP Morgan flagged 1.5 BILLION in suspicious transactions made by Epstein.
And they want us to believe the only perpetrator is Epstein?
The idiots who believed Hillary was running a kiddie sex ring out of the basement of a pizza parlor with no basement aren’t saying shit.
The people who said that EVERYONE, regardless of party, should be outed, these very brave folks seem to have found some allowance in their hearts for pedophilia after all.
Remember when folks used to scream about identity politics and found their safe space in white Christian nationalism?
Remember when these folks decried cancel culture and then canceled Kimmel?
Remember when these folks said they were for the police while cheering the people who assaulted police?
Remember the folks who said black poke needed to protest peacefully and got mad when Kaepernick did exactly that?
Remember the folks who raged about political violence after Kirk’s murder but literally don’t know that two different democratic lawmaker’s families were attacked and murdered six weeks ago.
They don’t believe what they say.
NONE if it.
Every belief the GOP claim is just a slogan to be wielded as a weapon and sheathed when they’re done with it.
