[Speaking about women who marry men for their money] People, so rich, so beautiful, so nice to look at, will be totally busted. And let’s see how long your wife stays with you … she’ll stay with you for about three weeks, and she’ll say, ‘Darling, I can’t take it anymore. I can’t take it anymore, darling, I’m leaving you.’
I said to one guy — he’s a very, very unattractive man — but he’s smart and he’s rich, and I said, ‘You better hope we get this thing passed because your wife will be gone within about two minutes.’ He said, ‘You’re right.’ The crowd erupted in laughter.

Live a good life. If there are gods and they are just, then they will not care how devout you have been, but will welcome you based on the virtues you have lived by. If there are gods, but unjust, then you should not want to worship them. If there are no gods, then you will be gone, but will have lived a noble life that will live on in the memories of your loved ones.
— Marcus Aurelius

I know it’s a hoax. It’s started by Democrats. It’s been run by the Democrats for four years, you had Christopher Wray and these characters and [James] Comey before him, and it’s a bad group. It started, actually, look at the Steele dossier that turned out to be a total hoax. The 51 agents, the intelligence, so-called intelligence agents. It was a hoax. It’s all been a hoax perpetrated by the Democrats and some stupid Republicans, and foolish Republicans fall into the net. And, so, they try and do the Democrats’ work. The Democrats are good for nothing other than these hoaxes.
No, no, I call it the Epstein hoax. Takes a lot of time and effort. Instead of talking about the great achievements, we’ve had a great gentleman yesterday, as you know, went on CNBC and he made the statement that Trump may go down as the greatest [surely he meant worst] president of all time and the United States. And, instead of talking about the things we’ve achieved, we’ve had tremendous achievements, they’re wasting their time with a guy who obviously has some very serious problems, who died 3 or 4 years ago.

AOC, look, I think she’s very nice. But she’s very low-IQ, and we really don’t need low-IQ. Between her and Crockett, we’re going to give them both an IQ test to see who comes out best.
Now, I took my test. I took a real test at Walter Reed Medical Center, and I aced it. I got every one of all those questions right. Now it’s time for them to take a test.
[It should be noted that Trump was given a cognitive test that checks for dementia, not IQ. I had this very test myself a few years back. As far as Representatives Accacio-Cortez and Crockett are concerned, the former graduated cum laude with duel-degrees in economics and international relations, and the latter has a law degree and passed the bar.]

Woe to those [politicians] who make iniquitous decrees, who write oppressive statutes, to turn aside the needy from justice and to rob the poor of my people of their right, to make widows their spoil and to plunder orphans! What will [politicians] you do on the day of punishment, in the calamity that will come from far away? To whom will [politicians] you flee for help, and where will you leave your wealth…

Does this not describe Donald Trump, the Republican Party, and some Democrats?

This is what happened to the “Epstein Client List.”
For you too young to remember the Men in Black movies, the agents used a neuralizer to wipe the minds of other people. Evidently, this is what happened to Donald Trump, Pam Bondi, and other MAGA hacks.
For stupid MAGA Republicans, this is satire. Or is it? How can you know? 🙂

One reason various institutions are crumbling and the people in charge of them so unpopular is that the material reality they defend is so different from their own professed values. They claim to value the “rule of law” but only enforce some laws against some people some of the time. They claim to value “public safety” but pursue policies that make most people less safe. They claim to value liberty but jails hundreds of thousands of society’s poorest people solely because they lack access to cash. They claim to value equality but ensures a small number of people control nearly every major decision. They claim to value evidence but pursues policies that defy evidence. They claim to value health but let us all be regularly poisoned and then destroy the opportunity for most people to get quality health care. They claim to value merit but ensure that fealty to power is what gets rewarded in elite institutions. As a result, establishment politicians, university presidents, and pundits are constantly speaking gibberish instead of being real with people.
U.S.Attorney General Pam Bondi recently released a statement saying that the man in the following picture with Donald Trump is none other than former President Barack Obama. When questioned about the photo, Bondi said that it is the Trump Administration’s policy to blame everything on Joe Biden, Barack Obama, and the Democrats. When asked about the missing Epstein Client List, Bondi told reporters that Biden and Obama broke into her office in the dead of night and stole the list. When asked by MSNBC for evidence for her claim, Bondi replied, FAKE NEWS!
This is satire for Republicans too stupid to know the difference between fact and fiction.

Benjamin Netanyahu nominating Donald Trump for the Nobel Peace Prize is akin to nominating OJ Simpson for husband of the year. (From The Daily Show)
The Jeffrey Epstein client list doesn’t exist says Attorney Pam Bondi, after telling the American people it was sitting on her desk to be reviewed. Shock! Another Trump cabinet official lies to the American people.
Congress needs to criminalize law enforcement wearing masks in an attempt to evade identification and accountability. If I have to show law enforcement identification, they should, at the very least: give their name and department and reason for stopping or arresting someone.
The Trump Administration put on a show of force at MacArthur Park in Los Angeles. The park was flooded with law enforcement, soldiers, and military vehicles, scaring the bejesus out of innocent park users. Just what Trump wants — fear.
Alligator Alcatraz is testimony to the brutality of the Trump Administration’s war against undocumented workers.
Scores of devout Christian Texans were swept away and drowned in recent flash floods. A tragedy of the first degree, but I can’t help but wonder where God was as his followers were drowning.
I hope Musk follows through on his political threats. Nothing better than a junior high lunch room food fight to distract the MAGA crowd.
Did you notice that many of the tax cuts passed by Republicans don’t take effect until after the 2026 midterm election? Cowards.
Trump does something right . . . Airline passengers no longer have to remove their shoes during TSA screening.
Listening to a non-parent Evangelical justify beating children if they disobey. Here’s hoping he never has children.
Bonus: The IRS ended prohibitions on churches endorsing candidates. Good riddance! Now it is time to start taxing churches and end tax benefits that only apply to ministers.

Donald Trump is currently waging a proxy war against Russia, funding Israel’s genocidal war against Palestine, and recently bombed Iran, along with off-book military operations conducted by the U.S. military, CIA, and NSA throughout the world. Explain, then, how anyone thinks the Toddler King deserves the Nobel Peace Prize. Trump is a violent man, a bully. There’s nothing in his behavior or polices that remotely suggests that Trump is a man of peace. He’s not, and anyone who suggests otherwise ain’t paying attention.
Maybe the real issue is one of envy. Barack Obama received the Nobel Peace Prize. Why shouldn’t Trump receive the same? Let me be clear, Obama did nothing to deserve the award, and Trump has done even less. Neither man is what I would call a peacemaker. I’m convinced that Trump is primarily driven by lust, envy, greed, and jealousy. He’s determined to be the “bestest president who has ever lived,” even though his political track record suggests he will go down in history as the worst president ever.
