BULLY BOY PRESS & CEDRIC'S BIG MIX & THOMAS FRIEDMAN IS A GREAT MAN & ANN'S MEGA DUB & THE WORLD TODAY JUST NUTS & THE COMMON ILLS -- THE KOOL AID TABLE

AS MORE AND MORE MEMBERS OF THE CHUMP ADMINISTRATION RUSH TO THE EXITS, SOME ARE NOT SO LUCKY AND MUST REMAIN IN THEIR POSITIONS FOR THE TIME BEING. THAT INCLUDES ONE HIGHER UP WHO DESPERATELY WANTS OUT BUT STATES HE IS BEING BLACKMAILED AND FORCED TO STAY. AS A RESULT, HE IS WILLING TO SPILL ON LIMITED MATTERS.

THESE REPORTERS: SECRETARY OF DEFENSE PETE LOOSELIPS HEGSETH IS SAID TO HAVE ALARMED MANY IN THE MILITARY BRASS WITH HIS CALL FOR A FACE-TO-FACE MEETING NEXT WEEK WITH HUNDRES OF THEM. THEY ARE WORRIED ABOUT MILITARY READINESS SHOULD AN ATTACK ON THE U.S. OR AN ALLY TAKE PLACE.

TOM LAST NAME REDACTED: THERE'S NO NEED TO WORRY. PETE JUST WANTS TO BE BELLE OF THE BALL. IN FACT, IF YOU'RE A GENERAL WITH SOME ALLOCATION NEEDS, COMPLIMENTING PETE ON HIS EYES OR MAKE UP IS A SURE WAY TO GREASE THE WHEELS. HE COMES OFF CROSS AND TOUGH BUT, DOWN DEEP, PETE JUST WANTS YOU TO TREAT HIM LIKE A LADY. MAYBE PAT HIM ON THE ASS,, LINGER, BUT IGNORE THE WETNESS?

THESE REPORTERS: THE WETNESS?

TOM LAST NAME REDACTED: PETE SUFFERS FROM JOCK P**SY SYNDROME. ON THE PLUS SIDE, HE SAVES A FORTUNE ON LUBRICANTS.

THESE REPORTERS: SECRETARY OF HOMELAND INSECURITY KRISTI NOEM WAS ON CNN AND HOST KAITLIN COLLINS ASKED HER WHETHER SHE CONSIDERED THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY TO BE A TERRORIST GROUP AND SHE REFUSED TO "REFUTE" THAT. WHAT THE LITERAL F**K?

TOM LAST NAME REDACTED: I THINK TOO MUCH IS BEING MADE OF THAT. YOU HAVE TO REALIZE THAT NOEM GETS CONFUSED WHEN A WORD HAS TOO MANY SYLLABLES.

THESE REPORTERS: HUH?

TOM LAST NAME REDACTED: TERRORISTS. IT HAS TOO MANY SYLLABLES.

THESE REPORTERS: IT'S JUST THREE SYLLABLES.

TOM LAST NAME REDACTED: THAT'S ABOUT TWO TOO MANY FOR KRISTI.

THESE REPORTERS: FINALLY, WHAT IS IT THAT CHUMP HAS ON YOU THAT HE'S BLACKMAILING YOU WITH? IS IT THE BRIBE YOU TOOK?

TOM LAST NAME REDACTED: NO. HE GOT AHOLD OF MY MEDICAL RECORDS. WHEN I WAS 18 I WAS RUSHED TO THE E.R. I WASN'T THAT APPEALING BACK THEN -- I MEAN, LOOK AT ME NOW -- SO NONE OF THE GIRLS WERE INTERESTED IN ME. BUT I HAD NEEDS. YOU UNDERSTAND? NEEDS! SO I HAD SEX WITH A RAT OR TRIED TO. HE GOT HIS --

THESE REPORTERS: THIS WAS A MALE RAT?

TOM LAST NAME REDACTED: I ONLY FOUND THAT OUT LATER AT THE HOSPITAL. HE GOT HIS CLAWS DEEP INTO MY UNIT AND I SCREAMED AND HOLLERED AND MY EMBARRASSED MOTHER FOUND ME AND RUSHED ME TO THE E.R. CHUMP KNOWS THIS STORY BY PILFERING MY MEDICAL RECORDS. HE SAID HE WAS GOING TO TELL EVERYONE THE STORY IF I QUIT MY POST. AND THAT IT WAS AN AFRICAN PYGMY MOUSE AND, EVEN WITH THAT, IT WAS BIGGER THAN MY ENTIRE UNIT! I CAN'T TAKE THAT KIND OF EMBARRASSMENT! I CAN'T! THANK YOU FOR PROTECTING ME AND SHIELDING MY NAME.

THESE REPORTERS: NO PROBLEM, DIRECTOR HOMAN.

FROM THE TCI WIRE:

Want to see something disgusting? Steam this video at THE NEW YORK TIMES of an ICE agent slamming a woman to the ground. Andy Newman and Luis Ferré-Sadurní report for the paper:

A federal agent shoved a woman and pushed her to the floor in front of what appeared to be her two young children on Thursday during a confrontation at an immigration courthouse in Manhattan.

A video shows a wrenching encounter in a hallway of 26 Federal Plaza in which the woman and a girl are desperately clinging to the woman’s husband, who is being detained. Agents pull the hair of the woman and the girl to get them away from the man.

After agents pry the family apart and lead the resisting man away, the woman yells, “You guys don’t care about anything!” in Spanish at an agent who is trying to get her to leave and telling her, “Adios, adios.” She puts a hand on his chest, and he shoves her. When she tries to grab onto him, he pushes her down.

This is not America, let's not pretend that it is. It's hell and it's brought you to be the tedious contributions of Convicted Felon Donald Chump and the corrupt Supreme Court.

These are thugs unleashed by Donald Chump who are not bound by laws -- per the Supreme Court -- and who terrorize people daily. And there is no real legal recourse presently, none at all. Federal courts try to do their job and follow the law -- including the Constitution -- and for that Chump attacks them publicly and the Supreme Court nullifies them.

That's why the mid-terms are so important.

I see so much disgusting garbage right now. And I'm not talking about Chump or MAGA for this point. I'm talking about Democrats who don't have spines. They've tried to toss transpeople to the side. It's easier, they think, to abandon trans people than to fight for what's right.

It's probably is very easy for them. They're spineless.

But they'll abandon the trans community first and then they'll move on to --

Wait. They've already moved on. Ezra Klein's saying the Democratic Party has to give up support for reproductive rights (see Rebecca's "ezzie klein the fake democrat who's now attacking reproductive rights").

They're spineless and their cowards.

They're not going to help us win in November 2026. The American people will not reward the Democratic Party for cowardly abandoning principles as the spineless seek a quick fix.

These same people are having a fit over Zohran's campaign. There are reasons to criticize him -- true of any politician. But the spineless are doing nothing to help us turn out votes.

Reproductive freedom is a very popular position with the American public. Republicans realize that which is why they don't like a referendum on reproductive rights at election time.

These Ezra Klein's know nothing. Let's remember what that spineless crap is noted for: Lying.

Journo-List was about lying. That was Klein's baby. It was an attempt to fool the American people. A number of journalists got on this list-serv that Klein started. It was there where they told the truth and it was there where they sought feedback on how to lie.

Katha Pollitt watches Sarah Palin's national debut as John McCain's running mate and she freaks out. She takes it to the private list where she says that Sarah seemed likeable -- the horror! -- and she gets the feedback she needs to write, the very next day, at THE NATION about how awful Sarah Palin is, how uninspiring, how this, how that.

A leftist is a sexist pig nightly on MSNBC. We've never pimped him here so we'll leave him unnamed but I'm sure most will know who I mean -- he's no longer with MSNBC. Do his leftist peers hold him accountable? No. On the private list-serv they talk about how hateful he is towards women. But Scott Horton -- not ANTIWAR.COM's Scott Horton, this is the attorney who got trouble for misrepresenting his credentials -- and I'm oh-so-glad to have been a part of that take down -- Scott could say sure he's a sexist pig but he calls out torture so let's not say anything about his sexism.

These people are liars. They are filth. They were paid for their opinions and they didn't share them with you. They did share on the private list-serv and they plotted there how to be 'on point' and how to trick and deceive.

No one needs that but that's all Ezra has to offer.

No Democrat has to endorse Zohran. My personal opinion is you should only endorse in a race you can vote in. You know what race all Americans can vote in? The race for president.

We remember that, right? Last November. The only real choices were Kamala Harris or Donald Trump.

Each month the Michigan Green Party sends an announcement to us. I like them. In the past, for years, I've included everything they've e-mailed.

2024 changed that. Jill Stein had no shot at winning and shouldn't have run to begin with. She ran a lousy campaign in 2012 and we noted that after the campaign. That she would be given a chance in 2016 was bad enough. Again in 2024? Ridiculous. You're not a real party. That's reality. But the other reality? You're not trying to be a real party. First off, a real party doesn't nominate the same person three times. Especially not a third time when the country is getting tired of all the elderly people in elected office and Jill was 74 years old.

There's more. In 2023, Jill and the ethically challenged Chris Hedges tried to make Cornel West the nominee. Cornel eventually caught on that what they were promising couldn't be delivered. They tried to top-down force him on the party. This was after Chris and Cornel were going to be the nominees for whatever that fringe party was. And most people don't even know that to this day. Cornel, early in his People's Party -- that's what it was -- made the mistake of being honest in an interview and talking about how Chris recruited him for the presidential candidate and Chris was going to be his running mate but then at the last moment Chris' wife convinced Chris not to run and blah blah blah.

Why does it matter? Because Chris LIED in interviews and in the written word (online, I don't believe anyone bothers to print that crackpot's nonsense anymore). That's the mind set of the Ezra Klein's in fact.

I have my problems with DSA and I've noted that at this site many, many times oer the years.

Zohran's saying he's a Socialist. That takes care of my biggest problem -- lying to voters.

So while Ezra's trying to trick voters and weaken the party, Zohran's being honest and possibly bringing in voters to the Democratic Party. We'll see with the election.

If someone doesn't want to endorse him, they shouldn't. And people should shut up about Chuck Schumer. If Chuck doesn't want to endorse him, that's fine.

And I'm sure Zohran's fine with it. 2024 was between Kamala and Chump. And Zohran refused to endorse Kamala. Was part of movement to get people to not to vote for Kamala.

If people are bothered by this (see Stan's "Rachel Maddow and Kamala Harris" and Rebecca's "big tent? doesn't work just 1 way"), that is their right.

But, at his best, Zohran is trying to enlarge the party. And there's a great discussion about that now, about how to bring in leftists who aren't Democrats into the party. The way the GOP used to work to bring Libertarians into the party in other decades or the way today's GOP works to bring White Nationalists and KKK into their party.

While Zohran tries to bring leftists into the party, Ezra is working to try to drive leftists out of the party.
