It’s “trolling the entire world again,” Hannah.

There is a claim that green card holders are being cuffed and their social media reviewed. They are being questioned about their attitudes toward Trump.

Russia has been run more or less continuously for the last century, more or less, by an unholy trinity consisting of the oligarchy, the mob, and the Russian Orthodox Church. Even Stalin adapted to the triumverate, at least the latter two (plus the Nomenklatura), early on.

This is pure Steve Bannon. She was chosen as a goad—a needle in the eye of “libtards” and thus a powerful aphrodisiac for nasty little Nazi boys like the Bannon Base.

Never an asshole. Invariably polite when I talk to someone who makes a living by picking up the phone to talk to people like me.

I am longing for George W. Bush’s way with words, Richard M. Nixon’s integrity, and above all—whenever Steve Bannon’s grotesque, coke-gnarled face drifts across the screen like a Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade balloon on DMT—Karl Rove’s spirited and honorable performance as the most powerful political operative in the…

Indignation is a way of life with these people, but most of them crumble surprisingly quickly in the face of someone who is neither deferential nor apologetic. They’re such snowflakes that they’re actually trying to figure out how to get criticism banned.

Carl Bernstein seems to be suggesting that there’s real concern about Donald’s mental health in Republican circles.

Mexico. It’s affordable, the culture is lovely, the people are wonderful, older Americans live there in great contented flocks because while they can’t afford to live in Republican America, they can live decently and comfortably in the more civilized nation south of the border.

Republican legislators across the nation are passing bills limiting the rights of demonstrators. These are being prepped as test cases which will pass up through select right-wing benches throughout the appellate system and ultimately reach the Roberts Court where, with at least one new justice named (ostensibly) by…

Who was it said America had better get used to living in a small Southern town more or less permanently, or at least until the next election?

Are our vaunted national correspondents still excited that Sean Spicer has so swiftly and completely learned how to lie to them and promulgate fascism calmly, pleasantly, and in a reasonable tone of voice, instead of frenziedly with vein-popping and flop sweat, as he did last Saturday before he turned it around and…

He’s a fucking delusional fascist, probably senile, certainly mentally unstable,  controlled by crazy bastards like Steve Bannon, a big proponent of the Church Militant and the whole psychopathic “war of civilizations” narrative: Donald is in fact the Manchurian candidate placed in office by 63 million fucking…

The entire Republican Party has become a talk radio party on a permanent trolling expedition. This fact would be less dreadful than it is, if only it weren’t for the additional fact that this kind of slime both turns on and incites their voting base.

Nobody tell Donald about this:

Chris Cillizza is a right-wing, dark money apologist going way back. No surprises there. He’s absolute scum.

We’ve been down this road before; the First Amendment is way peskier and more problematic for right wing legislators than the one that comes right after it (the rootin’, tootin’, shootin’ Second Amendment), hence an irresistible target in troubled times.

This is an old, old fight on the left, and an important one. It has shattered progressive momentum in other eras. Let’s hope it doesn’t shatter our resolve this time around, because Donald and his crew of Church Militant, “war of civilizations” cryptofascists are a clear and present danger to us all (so are Charles…

It has something of the weird folie a deux vibe of the awful Parker/Hulme case depicted in the movie Heavenly Creatures—these kids were already broken, separately and individually, but turned into something not merely broken but lethal when they were together.

This is one more thing I refuse to apologize for or feel bad about. You can troll me till the end of time with your “oh, fine, I thought you liberals were supposed to be the moral, non-violent, tolerant ones, so what you’re saying is you’re all right with getting down in the mud, and punching a guy just because he’s a…
