Those aren't "strict new guidelines." Those are blackmail demands.

"Just the tip."

This script is starting to read like a collaboration between the writers of the Seinfeld Show and those from Curb Your Enthusiasm -- if both teams had dropped acid.

Different network; different ownership.

But even if baby Ellison did own it, he and his sidekick almost certainly wouldn't care about what gets shown on it.

Their main business plan, after all, is to show the Orange Leader how much they love and honor him. And he doesn't watch Australian TV.

Probably made it worse: He's the one who suddenly sounds worried, if not desperate.

A few more glasses of wine will fix her right up.

Hegseth keeps saying we are untouchable and invincible and we have total dominance so I don’t know how this could happen.

And 60 Minutes is there to help catapult the propaganda.

Well, at least Bari let them ask that question.

Pretty good opportunity for China to move on Taiwan, if Beijing is willing to gamble. Best chance they may get for a while.

The fascists have been with us for a long time. What happened was that they grabbed control of one of the two major political parties in a political duopoly, which gave them a platform to radicalize other partisan loyalists and attract the oligarchs.

Not sure what that has to do with "us."

They're putting the band back together.

What MAGA sees vs. what the rest of the world sees

Senators vote to give Florida’s governor the power to label ‘terrorist’ groups College and university students who “promote” such organizations would be immediately expelled and assessed out-of-state tuition fees.

Florida Legislature is enabling the governor to label certain groups as terrorists, so college students who "promote" those organizations could be expelled.

Investigators' determinations could be kept secret if they are “critical to state or national security.”

I dunno. Trying to save money and avoid at least some of the economic consequences of the Orange Maggot's folly doesn't seem like "prepping" to me.

Just common sense -- if you can afford the initial outlay.

Trying to stay ahead of the curve by eliminating potential expert dissent NOW, I guess, instead of waiting until the hard questions are asked.

In that respect, at least, they've learned from the Cheney Administration's mistakes.

So the U.S. government is back to using the body count as its favorite success metric, I see.

"Everything's new that was old."

They're all traitors, pure and simple.

I vaguely recall reading analysis which argued that when the unemployment rate rises by a certain amount -- even from a very low base -- a recession becomes extremely likely.

Are we there yet?

They know that pure, raw, sadistic blood lust gives them their biggest hold over their benighted base.

Orwell knew.

If anything, Idiocracy didn't go far enough.

Because she (for once) told the truth in public. A truth that made Dear Leader look bad.

So she was doubly damned.

Thank God he's finally focusing on the crucial issues.

His natural home as a hyper-opinionated idiot is sports radio.

He Stephen Smith could co-host.

It would be wise not to trust a poll from the Manhattan Institute (a nest of neocons) further than you can throw the island.

Well, that is her job, right?

For some reason, the illegal building permits seem secondary to me.

"In addition to starting a world war and murdering millions of people, Hitler also cheated on his taxes."

Gangrene starts out as an infection of healthy tissue. But we've reached the point where the healthy tissue is a rare infection of the gangrene -- an entirely unwanted one from Trump's POV.

C'mon, wouldn't yours be?
