Convicted felon President Trump’s regime have removed the rainbow pride flag from the Stonewall National Monument in Manhattan, the symbol of the very reason why there’s a goddamned Stonewall National Monument in Manhattan, USA Today reports on the equivalent of removing the Marine Corps flag from the Iwo Jima memorial statue in Washington, DC.

“Removing the rainbow flag from the Stonewall National Monument again makes a target of what is sacred ground for our community – and another attempted act of erasure by an administration that has relentlessly attacked the LGBTQ+ community since the day it took office,” said Cathy Renna, spokeswoman for the National LGBTQ Task Force, in a statement to the paper.

Former CNN host Don Lemon on Tuesday retained for his defense team Joseph H Thompson, who until he quit just weeks ago was one of the top federal prosecutors in the Minnesota US Attorney’s Office, the New York Times reports on a nice little fuck you to the Trump regime from both men.

If you were suspicious that ICE was hiring a bunch of incel pedophiles with twisted sadomasochistic fantasies well CBS News is here to confirm your priors about the utter savagery and nihilism of those evil, evil cunts. Images obtained by the still quasi-independent outlet show Anabel Romero’s 14-year-old daughter SueHey’s wrists with the ligature marks from the zipties ICE agents bound her with during a raid on a community horse racing venue in Wilder, Idaho in October.

The pics are included in a complaint filed by the ACLU on behalf of the Latino US citizens who were roughed up during the raid that netted 105 undocumented internees. “They have done long lasting damage to children. At this moment, when the United States Congress is confronted with a question of how to reign in ICE… the answer is they need to reign in ICE to protect our children,” said Jenn Rolnick Borchetta, the ACLU’s deputy project director on policing on the case against the Reich.

Yeah. He did. They really should just do these interviews live, add more suspense.

Scroll down just a bit in this newly unsealed search warrant that was executed on the Fulton County, Georgia election records building while super secret agent cosplayer Tulsi Gabbard tried to look undercover and you’ll see this little hint of classic Kraken-alia to begin the affidavit:

“Following the 2020 election, the Georgia Secretary of State’s office made available ballot images of absentee ballots cast in the 2020 general election. Georgia resident [REDACTED] was a chemical engineer and taught at a technical college. [REDACTED] began conducting research and analysis on elections following the November 3, 2020, election. As part of that analysis, [REDACTED] reviewed images of the released absentee voter ballot images. He discovered that the number of ballot images from the Recount did not reconcile with the number of ballots cast,” it says on page 8.

Fuuuuuuuuuuuck. Fuck, lol. These fucking people, “conducting research.” Fuck.

“In response to remarks made by President Donald Trump criticizing global music artist Bad Bunny following Sunday’s game, as well as separate widely condemned racist imagery circulating online depicting Barack and Michelle Obama, an artisan bakery is announcing a limited-edition cookie release as a form of cultural expression. President Trump’s comments regarding Bad Bunny were widely viewed by critics as dismissive of Latino culture and Spanish-language expression, sparking significant backlash across social media and among artists, fans, and cultural commentators.”

“The bakery responded with a small-batch release of boldly iced cookies reading ‘F*** TRUMP,’ describing the drop as ‘a statement, not a stunt.’ ‘We’re bakers, not politicians,’ the bakery said in a statement. ‘But when culture, identity, and representation are repeatedly targeted, staying silent doesn’t feel like an option.’ According to the bakery, an earlier limited release of similarly themed cookies that read F*** ICE generated immediate demand, with more than 100 orders placed within the first 12 minutes before selling out. The bakery reported receiving a surge of follow-up emails and messages from customers asking when the next drop would be available, prompting the decision to cap the current release. The limited cookie drop will go live today at 2:00 PM Pacific Time, 5:00 PM Eastern Time. The bakery emphasized that the release is not about profit, but about participating in a broader cultural conversation. A portion of proceeds from this drop will be donated to United We Dream, a national organization advocating for immigrant communities and families,” says a press release issued Tuesday that doesn’t actually identify the vendor until the bottom.

Upon further examination, the site at getyummycookies.myshopify.com doesn’t identify them either, possibly for fear of violent reprisal from fanatic MAGA cultists. And yes, this is just free ad space for the some shadowy bakery, but fuck it. Buy them or don’t, there’s no “affiliate link” shit here.

Indescribably incompetent FBI Director K$H Patel on Tuesday updated the American people as untold millions awaited breathlessly for something, anything on the whereabouts of abducted 84 year-old Arizona woman Nancy Guthrie, mother of some longtime network morning show host Samanth- sorry, Savannah Guthrie, with K$H posting “Over the last eight days, the FBI and Pima County Sheriff’s Department have been working closely with our private sector partners to continue to recover any images or video footage from Nancy Guthrie’s home that may have been lost, corrupted, or inaccessible due to a variety of factors – including the removal of recording devices.”

“The video was recovered from residual data located in backend systems,” K$H said, nine days after Nancy was kidnapped from her home. God knows how many fucking hours have been spent on this by the director of the agency formed to take down infamously violent bank robbers, powerful mafia syndicates, Nazi saboteurs, and Soviet fifth columnists. All sincere prayers and best wishes to the Guthrie family with the possible exception of some shithead nephew or cousin trying to shake down a highly-paid TV host for what CNN reports is a $6 million ransom demand. Who knows who it was but just the headline basics of the story point to a knowledgeable inside job. In any case they he/they have something seriously fucking wrong with them to be holding an old lady hostage.

Not as wrong but still disquieting is the frenzy around this, with or without K$H introducing his boyish amateurism to previously unfamiliar demos. That goddamned Nancy Grace came out of semi-retirement says it all about how much bandwidth – that could be shared with so many more innocent souls also abducted by violent, masked men – is just going to one medium-profile victim.

🚨 BOOM! 🚨 THIS WEEK’S ECONOMIST/YOUGOV NATIONAL SURVey shows a noticeable shift in the preference of independent voters – that exists in a liminal space where the readers who mock the generic ballot findings need to be acknowledged before any such coverage can be justified.

Ready? In October the pollsters found 46 percent of indies saying “I would not vote,” when asked “If the elections for US Congress were being held today, who would you vote for in the district where you live?” a stat seen by this site as a possible leading indicator of broad turnout collapse – which probably wouldn’t be a bad thing when Dems have the corner on propensity. Not voting led “Not Sure” at 28 percent, followed by Ds in third at 15 percent, and then the GOP dead last at 8 percent.

That’s changed. “I would not vote” still leads at 33 percent, but this week Dems are in second at 27 percent, then the Not Sures at 25, and Republicans last again at 12 percent. Now circumspection in everything, doubly so in American election polling, triply so on the fucking generic ballot that many dismiss. Yet that kind of movement if not the numbers themselves still merits attention as it speaks to the end of what seemed to be a mass checking-out on the part of the irritable middle, their hazy twilight roused not by “Trantifa” rogues burning Portland to the ground for real this time or some other MAGA daydream spank material. It would seem that it was moments like their fellow citizens getting shot dead in the street like dogs, children being held hostage by masked man-boys, kind souls bound to undocumented coils caged and concentrated in camps, and far too many other atrocities big and small, all wrought simply because Stephen Miller was a virgin until he was 23.

Roused they seem, if judging solely by the disproportionate assortation of stated intent. 🚨 WOW 🚨

In a world defined by mankind’s panoply of modern technological advantages over the lethal threats the animal kingdom still poses – from firearms to bear spray to dynamite to electric cattle prods – it can be easy to forget just how often the solutions to the hazards faunae pose can be found in the simplest of tools, ones that have existed in some form or another since time immemorial.

A publicly-unnamed Victoria, Australia man no doubt has a newfound appreciation for one such tried and true implement, the humble shovel, as 9News reports it was deployed to great and lifesaving effect against a kangaroo that was savagely beating the shit out of his friend, identified only as Col.

Col, a retired farmer, briefly offhand described to 3AW radio the shovel’s effectiveness at striking and thus scaring off the hopping mad marsupial and ending the unfortunate encounter as his friend intervened. “He embarrassingly kicked me in the arse and I’ve got a big hole on the arse cheek,” Col said of just one of the multiple injuries suffered before the shovel worked its magic. The beast also drove a toe claw three inches into Col’s gut and left a large gash on his scalp, among other wounds treated by doctors instead of noted by a coroner – all thanks to a good guy with a shovel.

The chiefs of ICE, CBP, and USCIS will sit in the frying pan in front of the House Homeland Security Committee on Tuesday in what’s sure to be a freaking nightmare of a hearing for them.

Madagascar’s ruling junta leader Col Michael Randrianirina lost his shit Monday over a pic of ousted President Andry Rajoelina being welcomed to Eswatini Friday by the small continental African monarchy’s King Mswati III, with Randrianirina issuing his “strongest condemnation” and calling the visit “politically unacceptable,” the BBC reports on someone sounding a bit insecure.

Randrianirina’s statement also made prominent mention of the fact that Rajoelina, who was ousted late last year after deadly civil unrest forced the coup, surrendered his Madagascan citizenship by becoming a citizen of another country, even further distancing the failed leader from any hope of returning to power. “I’m not mad. Please don’t put in the newspaper that I got mad,” the colonel might as well have said. Seriously, who’s re-legitimizing Rajoelina more, Mswati or the literally unelected self-proclaimed leader of a military junta that deposed him four months ago freaking the fuck out over a landed baron receiving a failed and unpopular itinerant? Christ, what an asshole.

From the intro to Tuesday’s ruling by Trump-appointed Michigan federal Judge Hala Jarbou, saying straight up the Orange Overlord’s regime has no legal claim to the state’s voter rolls:

“This is one of over two dozen lawsuits that the United States has recently brought seeking voter registration data from states and localities. This particular case arose after the United States Department of Justice (DOJ) requested that the State of Michigan turn over its electronic statewide voter registration list. Michigan turned over a partial list that omitted certain fields containing voters’ personal information. The United States subsequently brought this lawsuit to compel disclosure of the full list, citing its authority under provisions of the Help America Vote Act (HAVA), 52 USC § 21083, the National Voter Registration Act (NVRA), 52 USC § 20507, and the Civil Rights Act of 1960 (CRA), 52 USC § 20703. The Court has allowed the Michigan Alliance of Retired Americans and two individuals to intervene as defendants in this action. (See ECF No 46.) Before the Court are two motions to dismiss for failure to state a claim: one filed by Defendants Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson and the State of Michigan (ECF No 38), and the other filed by the Intervenor-Defendants (ECF No 47). As explained below, the Court concludes that (1) HAVA does not require the disclosure of any records, (2) the NVRA does not require the disclosure of voter registration lists because they are not records concerning the implementation of list maintenance procedures, and (3) the CRA does not require the disclosure of voter registration lists because they are not documents that come into the possession of election officials. Thus, the Court will grant the motions to dismiss.”

If a mental patient like Peter Navarro’s saying the Wednesday jobs report is going to be bad while limp dickedly claiming something something deportations, then yeah it’s going to be worse.

No one alive today can be said to have truly blown open the Jeffrey Epstein shitsow more than the Miami Herald’s Julie K Brown, whose 2019 pieces led to Alex Acosta’s downfall, Jeff’s second federal indictment, and then his suicide-ish death in the Manhattan federal lockup. As such, her years of work and encyclopedic knowledge of all the players involved equipped her with the knowledge to effectively search the context-free dumps of millions of files in the Justice Department’s possession, revealing one in particular that, in retrospect, Todd Blanche just might’ve wanted to hang on to:

The FBI’s October 2019 interview with retired Palm Beach, Florida Police Department Chief Michael Reiter, who told agents that in 2006 – right as it became public that law enforcement were starting to build their first case against Dirty Jeff – Trump called him to say “Thank goodness you’re stopping him, everyone has known he’s been doing this.” Which sort of implodes the fat bastard’s 2019 assertions that he “had no idea. I had no idea” that his ex-bestie was trafficking underage girls.

It gets even more consciousness of guilt-y. Reiter told agents that Trump had told him that “he was around Epstein once when teenagers were present and Trump ‘got the hell out of there.'” It’s not clear from the FBI’s interview brief (not a transcript) the level of solicitation that preceded that awfully specific claim, but keep in mind that Trump called Reiter to talk to him about Epstein. This wasn’t them chatting idly on the golf course or whatever, but an otherwise unprompted phone call.

Still it gets even more damning: Of Ghislaine Maxwell, the convicted sex offender now kept in protective bubble wrap at Club Fed for having told Blanche that Trump never did anything inappropriate around her (she also said the same thing about Jeff), Reiter told agents that Donald said Ghislaine was Jeff’s “operative,” and “she is evil and to focus on her.” Good call, fatass.

“We at DinoCon take the safety of our attendees, speakers, and staff very seriously. As a result of the release of half of the Epstein files, it has come to light that a select number of scientists, authors, and researchers relevant to the field of palaeontology allegedly engaged in correspondence with members of the Epstein organisation after the conviction of Jeffrey Epstein. We want to state that all respective individuals are banned from all of our events,” said the UK’s DinoCon on Monday.

“Additionally, we find it deplorable that some established palaeontological organisations are not taking firm action to protect their members in light of these allegations. As such, executive committee members from organisations that are not issuing public bans to these individuals are also banned from our events. We do not tolerate those who allow this behaviour to go unchallenged within our community,” the organization continued in their statement condemning Velocirapetors.

Maybe the time for convicted felon President Trump to throw a shit fit over the material sourcing for the bridge was literally what’ll be nine fucking years ago exactly on Friday when he and then-Canadian “Governor” Justin Trudeau issued a joint statement saying “In particular, we look forward to the expeditious completion of the Gordie Howe International Bridge, which will serve as a vital economic link between our two countries,” and not Monday when it’s already completed and mere weeks away from opening to traffic. Given that setting, there was no way Fox Business Newsidiot Maria Bartiromo could throw it as a softball to US trade gauleiter Jameson Greer. There was still good form to his swing on the whiff, right up until he lost his grip and flung the bat into the stands.

“On Friday, Freedom of the Press Foundation (FPF) filed an attorney disciplinary complaint against Gordon Kromberg, the federal prosecutor who reviewed and signed the search warrant application targeting Washington Post reporter Hannah Natanson. The complaint notes that Kromberg appears to have violated an ethical rule that requires lawyers to reveal relevant legal authority to the court, even if it undermines their arguments. Recently unsealed court records disclose what many suspected: The government failed to alert the court that authorized the warrant to the Privacy Protection Act of 1980, a federal law that, in most cases, forbids the use of search warrants for journalistic work product and documentary materials,” says a Monday release from the Freedom of the Press Foundation, raising the question of why other outside groups haven’t been doing the same to Pam Bondi, K$H, Todd Blanche, Jaydee, and all the other unethical worms in the Trump regime.

Telling Putin regime state media that they “⁠don’t see any ‌bright future in the economic sphere,” Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov on Monday seemed pretty lukecold to convicted felon President Trump’s moronic insistence on increasing trade between the US and the vast, frozen, polluted wasteland on the other side of the globe, Reuters reports on a “no shit” kind of conclusion.

Russia’s economy is half the size of California’s and in 2016 trade between the two countries amounted to $5.8 billion in US exports to Russia and $14.5 billion in Russian exports to the US. If that sounds like a lot then compare it to the US-China trade relationship that same year, which was 29 times larger at $115.6 billion US-to-China exports and $481.3 billion in China-US exports.

Thus unless there’s a monster viral marketing campaign in the works to increase American reliance on cheap, shitty vodka with just a hint of anti-freeze flavor then Lavrov’s got the right idea.
