"Jerry, the gold paint sticks to your ass."

They like to lean in to the country music video aesthetic, which is jarring when paired with Trump's discount super store DIY Versailles aesthetic.

"So what is wrong with gold plated toilets in my single wide?"

"I guess instead I coulda bought that one-of-a-kind Black Velvet Jesus."

5/5 Now we're just openly being governed by the dumbest chucklefucks from the dumbest bar in the country.

"The partition that once sealed out the cranks and mediocrities has been permanently sundered."

4/5 Until the wake of 9/11, when they tried to push the envelope in that direction for a while. It didn't go well at all! But even then, our leaders were men who made a big show of acting like serious people with deep thoughts, leading the free world by example... even when they clearly weren't.

3/5 Then I'd listen to Republican political leaders do their best to win the hearts of these fucksticks, without, you know, actually doing most of these things.

2/5 It was always about needing to get tougher, ignoring the diplomats, kicking out the UN, no more sissy concerns about war crimes, no more fighting with one arm tied behind our backs, bomb 'em back to the stone age. Etc.

1/5 I grew up in a conservative part of the country, and I have a great many memories from my youth of hearing grown adults (almost always men) spouting off about foreign conflicts -- with absolute confidence in their own wisdom and zero understanding of how the world works.

Wow did something happen in the US in January 2025?

LLM-app adherents are like a cargo cult for the modern era.

What does the Trump era feel like? “Campy, openly and equally hateful and opportunistic, and above all, shameless.”

"Put more directly, any scholarship about this Iran invasion must also contend with the fact that, simultaneously, Melania Trump was presiding over the U.N. Security Council."

"All I am thinking about is how impossible it will be to explain the conditions of this era to future generations, who will surely be baffled as they sift through the seriousness of this moment to find nothing but cloying frivolity."

The Most Surreal Part of Trump’s War Is What He Is Doing Right in America, in Front of Us All I can’t believe we have to watch these people sell a war now.

"Trump is using Call-Of-Duty propaganda designed to stimulate his prime constituency—unsocialized Discord incels, Joker-fied elder millennials, and bloodthirsty Gen Xers—by speaking the language they understand best: a disorienting blend of asserted evil and hammy kitsch."

Telegraphing the false flag attack on US soil that allows him to cancel the midterms even though we still had elections during the civil war and WW2 and frankly every other conflict the USA has been involved in, but I digress

Leopard says, hey, this doesn't taste like a natural face!!!!

Effin Birds calendar page for Wed March 4 2026 "I dont think there's a stupider was to do this shit"

It was kind of @benwolfevision.bsky.social to send today's INCREDIBLY APPROPRIATE page from the @effinbirds.com calendar.

Thank you. I've posted this speech at least three times in my thread over the years. Can you believe an american president spoke that way to the people? A person who was the WW2-winning general who defeated the Nazis, no less? His mind was unclouded by any fog of war.

“They delight in acting in bad faith, since they seek not to persuade by sound argument but to intimidate and disconcert.”

- John Paul Sartre

"Never believe that they are completely unaware of their absurdity. They know that their remarks are frivolous, open to challenge. But they are amusing themselves, for it is their adversary who is obliged to use words responsibly, since he believes in words.”

Don’t tread on me? More like “tread on me harder, Daddy.”

They spout obvious bullshit not because they hope sane people will believe them, but because they see it as a power move.

And they love it when powerful men subject them to the same power move.

They lap it up and beg for more. These are sick, diseased people.

What I find telling is that MAGA and the GOP aren’t trying to make rational arguments about Iran.

This is because right-wingers actually prefer nonsense and non-sequiturs. They prefer lies and love being lied to. They love it with a disturbing intensity that seems to border on sexual fetishism.

The administration's sheer incompetence, and sycophancy to the incompetence, is really astounding.
*slow clap for Republicans *

Also keep reminding Americans that Trump owes each household $1700 to pay for his illegal tariffs. That's money he stole from you and me. Democrats and Progressives will get it back if we have to take it out of his orange hide.

"Democrats and Progressives will end this nonsense, really keep us out of useless foreign wars, and focus on putting American first at long last. No more of the fake Republican approach to putting America first. They don't, and you've seen it."

"The American people need affordable groceries, housing, health care, GAS, electricity, education, etc the list goes on. The Republicans have blown it by focusing on lining their pockets and serving foreign dictators like Netanyahu."

Democrats have got to start getting more comfortable with populism and stop letting Trump steal it with his faux-populism.

The message is clear: "Trump started this war for Israel's benefit. The American people don't benefit."

Sure, let's just blunder our way into World War 3.

I mean, we've already started a war with a country that ranks 7th in terms of military personnel. China is second, right behind the USA, in military spending. They're an essential trading partner. Let's piss them off.

I do wonder if and when we would ever learn things are going badly, now that we have billionaire/governmental capture of media working against the free flow of information. Related, I wonder at what point the regular German people realized that the war that started in 1939 was going badly?
