"The story of our nation is pockmarked and littered with atrocities, oppression, terror, and violence. History is not pretty.

Yet the one thing that a divided country can actually agree on right now is that what's transpiring, in this age of the Great Step Backwards, is not normal, regardless of how those in power are trying to normalize it.

Not even low ratings can stop it. Network gazed into its crystal ball and broadcast back a worst-case-scenario diatribe that, if you paid close enough attention, doubled as a warning.

We don't just live in Howard Beale's world now. We're stuck in a world dictated by millions of Diane Christensens.

Fifty years later, Lumet and Chayefsky's brilliant work of art is neither a satire nor reportage. It's a horror movie. It's reality."

HATING America would be supporting a criminal racist rapist traitor in the WH.

Which is what Bellboy and the other Trumpers are good at.

It means you are next up for the Donkey Show across the border in Tijuana.

Proof is for non-Cultists... they don't need no stinking proof.

Just what Trump or one of his more loyal to him than the Law tells them to think.

Dear Mr. Fantasy, of course

while I'm here anyway:

What About Me? - Quicksilver Messenger Service

Traffic & Jerry Garcia - Mr Dear Fantasy - live concert video

Yeah... loyalty to the Cult over the Country and the Constitution, and the Laws is Jim Jones stuff.

He told them to drink the kool aid, and they believed his lies and drank it, same as a Trumper does.

The whole idea that this DHS and DOJ and AG would follow the Law rather than Trump's perceived best interests in ludicrous.

Your posts about the women your Cult Leader has extrajudicially murdered in the streets are a worse eyesore.... not to mention morally reprehensible, so I won't mention that.

Jerry Garcia & Merl Saunders - Positively 4th street (1973) Live

[Verse 1]
I've been waiting for something to happen
For a week or a month or a year
With the blood in the ink of the headlines
And the sound of the crowd in my ear

You might ask what it takes to remember
When you know that you've seen it before
Where a government lies to a people
And a country is drifting to war

[Bridge]
And there's a shadow on the faces
Of the men who send the guns
To the wars that are fought in places
Where their business interest runs

[Verse 2]
On the radio talk shows and the TV
You hear one thing again and again
How the USA stands for freedom
And we come to the aid of a friend

But who are the ones that we call our friends"
These governments killing their own?
Or the people who finally can't take any more
And they pick up a gun or a brick or a stone

[Chorus]
And there are lives in the balance (There are)
There are people under fire (There are)
There are children at the cannons (There are)
And there is blood on the wire

[Bridge]
There's a shadow on the faces
Of the men who fan the flames
Of the wars that are fought in places
Where we can't even say the names

[Verse 3]
They sell us the President the same way
They sell us our clothes and our cars
They sell us everything from youth to religion
The same time they sell us our wars

I wanna know who the men in the shadows are
I wanna hear somebody asking them why
They can be counted on to tell us who our enemies are
But they're never the ones to fight or to die

[Chorus]
And there are lives in the balance (There are)
There are people under fire (There are)
There are children at the cannons (There are)
And there is blood on the wire

Wow... the things you fantasize about.

How many people have died in ICE custody?

"Based on recent reports, at least 32 people died in U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) custody during the 2025 calendar year, marking the highest number of deaths in over two decades.

As of late January and early February 2026, at least six to eight additional deaths have been reported, indicating a rising trend in fatalities."

"The document pertains to a woman who alleged to the FBI that Trump sexually assaulted her when she was a child."

from another article:

"This woman also accused Jeffrey Epstein, and she successfully settled a lawsuit in 2021 with the Epstein estate," Ali reports.

"Investigative reporter Roger Sollenberger discovered this bombshell and told Ali that "The allegations and FBI interview are landmark revelations, undermining the White House's protestations that Trump hasn't been accused of wrongdoing and showing instead that the U.S. government has been aware of a credible Trump accuser in the Epstein files."

In the summer of 2025, the DOJ included the redacted woman's allegation in a 21-page internal slideshow presentation as well as in an internal email chain involving the government investigation into Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell, Ali wrote. But she's not the not the only credible accuser.

There is another incident that allegedly occurred at Mar-a-Lago in 1994 involving a 14-year-old girl who later became a key government witness against convicted Epstein accomplice Ghislaine Maxwell.

Sollenberger says the witness is clearly credible considering DOJ prosecutors used her testimony to convict Maxwell."

Comparing Obama's criticism to Trump's wild rantings, insults, and accusations of being owned by foreign influencees... is something only a deleted Cultist might do.

You never need worry about going over heads here, unless you are talking to Trumpers.

You just made an ass of yourself by assuming a fact not in evidence.

Yes, he's a lying Trump loyalist, but let's trust him when he's going after the Video legally, and trust whatever he says about Colbert's Talirico interview.

Like Jeffy Turley does!

When the WH is occupied by a criminal rapist traitor to his country, being an Independent means making the right choice on the that person in general, not cherry picking.

No, I'm saying he's already Taco-ing yet again on whatever he claims he's going to do.

Don't try extrapolating so hard, you might hurt yourself.

#30 FF!

But are you sure that isn't 1Nutjob after almost every one of his posts?

That's what many of them are doing... of course, some of them are making yt videos about it, but still.

"White House to seek alternative' tariff moves after Supreme Court ruling, Bessent says

"Let's be clear about what today's ruling was and what it wasn't," the administration's top finance official said in prepared remarks.

"Despite the misplaced gloating from Democrats, ill-informed media outlets and the very people who gutted our industrial base, the court did not rule against President Trump's tariffs.

Six justices simply ruled that IEEPA authorities cannot be used to raise even $1 of revenue," Bessent added."

Envoy for Piece of the Action, more like.

He's like the Prince of the Trump Crime Family.... while the older Trump sons are the Royal Shleps.

Here's an alien concept for Trumpers, and from a real Christian:

Is that not like the gayest name on the Retort? (not that there's anything wrong with that!)
