Chicago federal Judge Sarah Ellis on Thursday guaranteed another histrionic conniption from Stephen Miller as the Sun-Times’s Jon Seidel reports that Ellis barred various uses of force by ICE against protestors and journalists “unless such force is objectively necessary to stop an immediate threat,” required calls for two warnings before using riot control weapons “at a sound level where the targeted individuals can reasonably hear it,” and agents must have identifiers “conspicuously displayed in two separate places,” and reiterated her bodycam requirement for street agents.

“The Democrats will terminate the Filibuster in THE FIRST HOUR, if and when they assume ‘control’ or power. Republicans have what the Democrats want – We should do it, NOW, and have the greatest three years in History!” posted convicted felon President Trump on Thursday, maybe unintentionally letting on at the end that he’s not going to remain in power past January 20, 2029.

A registered Republican Villager was pretty misogynistic during at least two of the four 911 calls that preceded his Tuesday night arrest for misdemeanor misuse of an emergency line, Villages-News.com reports citing a Wildwood, Florida police department after-action of the bizarre incident.

Sheldon Scott Engstrom, 62, first dialed 911 from his home at 3813 Zentko St in the Village of Hammock (lol), claiming that his ex-wife was there with a gun. In the middle of that call he then backtracked and said his ex was not actually there, admitting he did not have an emergency. The dispatcher then told Engstrom to hang up and call the non-emergency police line, prompting the likely Trump voter to say “You goddamn women are all the same,” before he hung up.

Shortly thereafter Engstrom called again, asking why the cops hadn’t arrived yet, then a third time to tell them he wanted his ex-wife “trespassed” which means banned from his home or something. The fourth time he called cops were already outside while Engstrom berated the 911 operator, claiming she wouldn’t do her job “because she is a female.” Police entered the home to find Engstrom next to a large handle of Fireball whisky and a bottle of an unknown type of pills. Likely something he has a legal prescription for since obviously he would’ve been booked on a possession count.

In a Thursday morning story headlined “Texas Governor Greg Abbott Vows to Slap ‘100 percent Tariff’ on Anyone Moving from NYC After Radical Socialist Takes the Throne in Mayoral Election” the Gateway Pundit writes that “Texas Governor Greg Abbott has declared war on the incoming wave of New York City ‘refugees’ desperate to escape the impending socialist nightmare under newly elected Mayor Zohran Mamdani. On the eve of NYC’s mayoral election, Abbott took to X to announce he’d impose a staggering 100 percent tariff on anyone daring to cross state lines from the Big Apple to the Lone Star State after polls closed. ‘After the polls close tomorrow night, I will impose a 100 percent tariff on anyone moving to Texas from NYC,’ the governor wrote on X.”

Not even sure what, if anything to add here given the level of derangement. Like if the headline had said “Texas Governor Greg Abbott Hilariously Trolls Marxists, Vows to Slap ‘100 percent Tariff’ on Anyone Moving from NYC After Radical Socialist Takes the Throne in Mayoral Election,” then okay.

That would be “accurate.” Even the subjective elements of that addition to the headline would still be far more tethered to reality than its current composition. Like forget about the constitution and early federalist precedent which you don’t even need to actually check here and just focus on the practicality of a “tariff” on people moving from one state to another. Actually forget even that and ask why the fuck Abbott would NOT want conservative New Yorkers to move to Texas and further entrench his regime’s political dominance. There are so many different dimensions to how dumb and bizarre of a “joke” it was and still the Gateway Pundit team’s brains are as functional as Abbott’s legs when it came to comprehending that he did not mean for anyone to take him seriously.

Keep an eye on this one. There just might be some fire left in her. Or rather than “some” like an unfathomably large quantity of deadly molten rock that would obliterate anyone nearby.

Former Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi on Thursday announced she will not run for reelection in 2026, ending a four decade career in the House while she still has her marbles, CNN reports.

“With a grateful heart, I look forward to my final year of service as your proud representative. As we go forward, my message to the city I love is this: San Francisco, know your power. We have made history. We have made progress. We have always led the way, and now we must continue by remaining full participants in our Democracy and fighting for the American ideals we hold dear,” said Pelosi in the video announcing her retirement that had been rumored over the last few days.

Nonagenarian Cameroon President Paul Biya, who sometimes had the energy to show up to campaign rallies as he ran for a seventh term, was sworn in once again on Thursday following a contentious, bloody, and probably rigged election, the AP reports.

What do young voters care about most? @ComfortablySmug breaks it down.

This already surreal liver damage dream of a Twitter user identified with an “@” handle wearing his sunglasses indoors at 7:27 AM in a darkened “Patriot Awards” set is even nuttier for a low-key detail: The “Brookville, NY” in the top lefthand corner. Brookville is not some neighborhood in Manhattan.

It’s about 20 miles east, out in Great Gatsby country, almost certainly in a space on the CW Post campus of Long Island University. It’s not some dogshit catering hall but it isn’t exactly a world-class venue either. Just mind-meltingly bizarre and distracting from the usual Fox News stupidity.

Convicted felon President Trump’s 2024 campaign political director-turned-White House Deputy Chief of Staff James Blair this week told Politico that he thinks “you’ll see the president talk a lot about cost of living as we turn the year and into the new year,” adding that the kingpin “is very keyed into what’s going on” and will be “very, very focused on prices and cost of life.”

Notice all the future tensing and the “you’ll see the president talk” where a phrase like “take aggressive action to lower prices” should be. He’s going to talk about it more, which means lie and say that prices are back to 2019 levels, gas is under $2/gallon, so on and so forth.

Amazingly it’s something of a marginal improvement in tone and awareness over that of a quote from a “person close to the Trump administration, who was granted anonymity to discuss private conversations” that Politico printed last week in a story about the beef prices/rancher shitshow: “It’s kind of like eggs, part two. This all kind of started with just concern over consumer prices.”

Emphasis added on that because holy shit, lol. “This all kind of started,” said as if “this” wasn’t the fucking thing Team Orange spent two years essentially telling voters that Joe Biden was too old/weak and Kamala Harris too DEI to understand the secret quantum mathematical formula that would instantly turn a $18 Big Mac value meal back down to $7.49 tops at 12:01 PM on January 20th.

“This” is like Churchill coming into office and telling Parliament “Well we got our asses kicked by the Wehrmacht but we’re going to win. In fact an RAF captain told me he shot down two German planes yesterday. I think we’re winning. Anyway did you see the plans for the new Churchill ballroom? We’re demolishing 12, 14, 16, Downing Street to make room for it. Or maybe the Germans will do it for us…”

The too-often insufferable Punchbowl AM newsletter on Thursday declared their patrons and muses in the GOP to have “lost their groove” after Tuesday’s beatdowns in Virginia, New Jersey, California, Pennsylvania, and New York City. writing that “Since Trump signed the One Big Beautiful Bill Act into law four months ago, Republicans have seemed adrift. Trump has his own agenda; he’s consumed with foreign affairs, immigration and remodeling the White House, among other things. The president seems to view Congress as a nuisance he’d rather avoid than have to deal with.”

Further down in the roundup however they find something approximating a silver living for the reich, writing “But Democrats didn’t flip any seats that Trump won by more than five points, though one such race does remain too close to call. That’s not great news for Democrats when you extrapolate it out. In Congress, there are only three Republicans in Harris-won seats. And there are only a dozen or so GOP-held House seats that Trump won by five points or less, thanks to redistricting. That number is growing smaller thanks to the mid-decade round of remaps.” Phew, right?

Stuttering his way through an interview with Fox News anchor Bret Baier aired Wednesday, convicted felon President Trump was read a question/comment by a three-time Trump voter who was worried the GOP could lose the midterms if something isn’t done about affordability soon to which Trump responded telling Baier more or less she’s wrong and the Democrats are lying about it.

“Walmart just announced that Prices for a Thanksgiving Dinner is now down 25 percent since under Sleepy/Crooked Joe Biden, in 2024. AFFORDABILITY is a Republican Stronghold. Hopefully, Republicans will use this irrefutable fact!” posted convicted felon President Trump on Wednesday.

Yeah hopefully they’ll campaign on Walmart’s 2025 Thanksgiving prices in 2026. Good call.

In related news Target on Wednesday, put out this press release: “Target Corporation today announced it’s making Thanksgiving tastier, more stylish and more affordable than ever before. Back by popular demand, Target’s holiday meal for four returns at its lowest price ever – under $20, less than $5 per person.” Naturally the retailer is too woke to merit Trump’s attention.

Senate Dems on Tuesday decided together to not cave on the shutdown, Politico reports on a state of play that did not change on Wednesday, much to the failure of the fucking stupid predictions of some in the MAGA Reich that the elections would spell the end of their holding out.

WHY ARE YOU NOT ARRESTING EPSTEIN'S CLIENTS?
IT SEEMS TO ME THAT THEY REPRESENT A REAL NATIONAL SECURITY THREAT CONSIDERING THEY WERE SPYING FOR ISRAEL!
THAT'S CALLED FUCKING TREASON!
Y'ALL HAVE NO MORAL AUTHORITY LOCKING PEOPLE UP FOR THIS SHIT WHEN EPSTIEN'S CLIENTS ARE FREE!

Air travelers will be fucked by Trump and Republicans’ refusal to extend Obamacare tax credits if the shutdown continues another few days, ABC News reports on Transportation Suckretary Sean Duffy and FAA maladministrator Bryan Bedford’s announcement of a 10 percent cut in capacity at 40 major airports. “Our sole role is to make sure that we keep this airspace as safe as possible. Reduction in capacity at 40 of our locations. This is not based on light airline travel locations. This is about where the pressure is and how to really deviate the pressure,” said Bedford.

“After much deliberation, I have decided not to seek reelection in 2026. I am forever grateful for the honor of serving my constituents in Congress, and proud of what I’ve accomplished for Maine. But recently, it became clear that now is the right time to step away from elected office. I have never loved politics. But I find purpose and meaning in service, and the Marine in me has been able to slog along through the many aspects of politics I dislike by focusing on the good work that Congress is capable of producing with patience and determination,” writes ME-2 Dem Jared Golden.

“But after 11 years as a legislator, I have grown tired of the increasing incivility and plain nastiness that are now common from some elements of our American community — behavior that, too often, our political leaders exhibit themselves. My team and I have strived to stay above the fray and, for that, we can hold our heads high with appreciation for each other and the way we have gone about our work,” and blah blah blah the performative DINO continued.

Christopher Nolan’s second Batman film The Dark Knight drags on for too long, adds so much unnecessary “gravitas” and nonsensical plot MacGuffins about technology, and was generally kind of hard to follow at points. But between Health Ledger’s Oscar winning performance and the utter brutality of the character, the film’s Joker is and will remain one of the most iconic villains in cinema history. The early scene where he fatally slashes a gangster named Gambol while his three lieutenants are forced to watch while held at gunpoint by Joker’s street punks is wicked enough, but what’s implied to happen next is downright demented: As he’s breaking a pool cue, the Joker goes on about how his operation is expanding and he’s looking to add more men to his small army of murderous rogues. But he’s currently only got room for one more, so he’s holding “auditions.”

Since this is a largely bloodless big budget PG-13 movie, the scene ends by leaving it to the viewer’s imagination about what happened next, though the implication is clear enough as the Joker tosses a broken cue in between Gambol’s three guys and tells them to make it quick as he exits the room.
