The inside scoops at Axios can do two things at once and do them well: Annoy the absolute shit out of you with the insufferable “Behind the Curtain” insidery aesthetic and increasingly childish “Why it matters” bullet points while ALSO managing to provide a rarified window into the pants pissing when things are starting to go bad for their Republican donor class audience demo’s political outlook.

Sometimes they even express it visually…

Lol.

Much of the text of this Thursday article is just outlining some bad recent polling for the Trump Regime. There’s only one [direct] anonymous quote: “People are depressed,” attributed to a “Trump loyalist at the barricades,” summarizing the feeling inside the top echelons. Terse and maybe a tad dramatic but God willing that loser mentality continues to sink in inexorably.

“Climate change highlights the importance of understanding life’s survival limits for addressing global challenges and supporting future human habitation beyond Earth. Plants, as photosynthetic organisms, play a vital role in sustaining life. Bryophytes, such as mosses, show notable extremotolerance, but despite studies on environmental responses in the model moss Physcomitrium patens, its survival under extreme conditions in space remains unclear.”

“We tested protonemata, brood cells, and spores encased in sporangium under simulated space environments, identifying spores as the most resilient, and subsequently exposed them to the space environment outside the International Space Station. After 9 months in space, over 80 percent of the spores survived, retaining their ability to germinate. These results demonstrate the remarkable resilience of P patens spores in space and reveal the potential of terrestrial plants to endure extreme environments, providing insight into bryophyte adaptation and offering a foundation for future applications in space exploration and extraterrestrial habitats,” says the abstract to a paper from a team led by brainiac Tomomichi Fujita of Hokkaido University in Japan.

“🟠 I’M THANKFUL FOR YOU 🟠 Guess who I’m not thankful for this thanksgiving? Each and every American-Hating Liberal who’s made hard-working Americans lives more difficult. They shut down the government to try to stop MAGA! And I’m calling it now…they’re getting ready to ring the bills of impeachment! I hate to be a debby downer but the point I’m trying to get across is that I need YOU to be extra generous during the holidays. CHIP IN $25 Because American-Hating Liberals are already raising millions of dollars to buy back the Senate and House majority – they’ll have enough votes to impeach me then…” says a typically unhinged fundraising email from the Orange Slob.

Interesting how his team that writes this stupid bullshit is that upfront with their whales about a third impeachment being the motivator to kick in for the GOP’s midterm campaign.

“We are veterans and national security professionals who love this country and swore an oath to protect and defend the Constitution of the United States. That oath lasts a lifetime, and we intend to keep it. No threat, intimidation, or call for violence will deter us from that sacred obligation. What’s most telling is that the President considers it punishable by death for us to restate the law. Our service members should know that we have their backs as they fulfill their oath to the Constitution and obligation to follow only lawful orders. It is not only the right thing to do, but also our duty. But this isn’t about any one of us. This isn’t about politics. This is about who we are as Americans. Every American must unite and condemn the President’s calls for our murder and political violence. This is a time for moral clarity. In these moments, fear is contagious, but so is courage. We will continue to lead and will not be intimidated. Don’t Give Up the Ship!” say Dem Senators Mark Kelly, Elissa Slotkin, and Representatives Jason Crow, Maggie Goodlander, Chris Deluzio, and Chrissy Houlihan in a statement responding to convicted felon President Trump’s meltdown over their video message.

Deputies with the Belmont County, Ohio Sheriff’s Office will sadly have to live the rest of their lives wondering if they could have somehow done things differently and saved a deer owner’s life.

From a statement by Sheriff James Zusack: “On November 15, 2025, at approximately 10:27 pm, deputies with the Belmont County Sheriff’s Office were dispatched to the Proger residence in Stewartsville regarding a reported animal attack. Upon arrival, deputies were advised by family members that the victim, identified as Jodi Proger, appeared to be trapped in a pen with a male deer that was being kept at the residence. The animal appeared to have attacked Ms Proger.”

“Family members attempted to intervene and dispatch the animal prior to the arrival of law enforcement to reach the victim; however, the animal was ultimately dispatched by responding deputies to ensure scene safety. Tragically, Ms Proger succumbed to her injuries and was pronounced deceased at the scene. The Belmont County Coroner’s Office was subsequently contacted to assist. No foul play is suspected in this matter. The Belmont County Sheriff’s Office has notified the Ohio Department of Natural Resources (ODNR) of the incident. ODNR officials are currently communicating with the Ohio Department of Agriculture regarding the matter.”

LOL! If Republicans worked… Stacey Plaskett and Ilhan Omar would both be censured and expelled from Congress.

Judge Boasberg would be impeached

Filibuster would be nuked

People would be in jail

I can go on, but you get the picture.

Douchey Florida MAGA Congressman Greg Steube on Thursday introed a resolution expelling indicted fellow Sunshine Stater Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick after her indictment on massive federal felonies for stealing $5 million in funds from taxpayers in a FEMA scam operation.

At least 1,000 people living in the largely rural Lumajang District of Indonesia’s island of Java fled their homes Thursday, having been warned by government elites that a natural phenomenon called “pyroclastic flows” was putting them in danger of suffocation and incineration, Sky News reports.

Granted, the existence of what geologists who were educated almost exclusively at very group-think-intensive educational institutions describe as “superheated clouds of ash and gas” appears to be at least partially supported by photographic and video footage from various locations around the globe over the past two centuries. However the establishment’s repeated warnings of the extreme dangers of these clouds are so emphatic and intense that one may start to perceive them as hyperbolic – and perhaps even agenda-driven. It doesn’t take an extreme fringe conspiracy theorist to look at the volumes of peer-reviewed literature on pyroclastic flows – all dreadfully repetitious in content – and come away wondering what it is they are not telling you about them.

Viewed from a distance, these pyroclastic flows appear as benign white clouds of dust tumbling speedily yet gently down slopes, almost like baby powder, about as stark of a contrast one can get with red hot basaltic lava setting aflame everything and anything combustible in its path. What if the clouds have some sort of healing properties or pleasant hallucinogenic effects? Now let’s be clear, no one is saying that they do. They could very well be as lethal and destructive as the establishment science community says they are. But again, there hasn’t been any serious consideration of alternative viewpoints or outside research into the effects of pyroclastic flows is troubling.

“Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick has proudly represented the people of Palm Beach and Broward Counties since 2022. Consistent with the United States Constitution, she is entitled to her day in court and the presumption of innocence. Pursuant to the Rules of the House Democratic Caucus, Congresswoman Cherfilus-McCormick will take leave from her position as Ranking Member of the Foreign Affairs Committee’s Subcommittee on the Middle East and North Africa while this matter is ongoing,” says House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries’ office in a statement responding to the corrupt scumbag’s indictment on charges of ripping off $5 million in FEMA funds.

Responding to a Washington Examiner headline saying “Democratic veterans in Congress urge service members to refuse unspecified unlawful orders” convicted felon President Trump on Thursday posted “It’s called SEDITIOUS BEHAVIOR AT THE HIGHEST LEVEL. Each one of these traitors to our Country should be ARRESTED AND PUT ON TRIAL. Their words cannot be allowed to stand – We won’t have a Country anymore!!! An example MUST BE SET. President DJT.”

“This is really bad, and Dangerous to our Country. Their words cannot be allowed to stand. SEDITIOUS BEHAVIOR FROM TRAITORS!!! LOCK THEM UP???” he then followed up in another post.

He also shared a shit ton of replies from his cultists like “HANG THEM!! GEORGE WASHINGTON WOULD !!” and “It’s called a seditious conspiracy and every one of them should be frog marched out of their homes at 3:00 AM with FOX News cameras filming the whole thing…” and so on.

Funny how it takes a few days for these “controversies” to get to the fat fuck – and how this sort of performative melting down just lays bare his impotence. Now Judge Box-o-Wine’s going to have to figure out how to thread a needle through the Speech and Debate Clause to prosecute Democrats who simply reminded military personnel that they have a duty to disobey illegal commands like to open fire on civilians or drop cluster munitions on a No Kings rally. Donald needs a Midol.

“SEDITIOUS BEHAVIOR, punishable by DEATH!” Trump later posted, further amplifying his bloodlust.

At least 33 people – among them women and children sheltering in tents because their homes were destroyed in previous bombings – were killed in a pair of Israeli strikes in the tranquil territory of the Gaza Strip late Wednesday and early Thursday, a region that was pacified recently by future Nobel Laureate US President Donald Trump, the AP reports on the fruits of his dealmaking.

Fascist plutocrat Larry Ellison recently told convicted felon President Trump he’d fire CNN anchors that have irked the Orange God Emperor – including Erin Burnett and Brianna Keilar – should Larry and his dickhead son David be successful in their bid to buy up WarnerDiscovery and consolidate formerly independent media in an Orbanist regime, the Guardian reports citing insider sources.

In the weeks before he voted to gut Medicaid with those bullshit “work requirements,” Pennsylvania Republican Congressman Rob Bresnahan, who literally campaigned on banning stock trades by members of the House and Senate, dumped as much as $133,000 worth of shares in companies that manage nearly half of all Medicaid enrollees in the country, NBC News reports.

Asked to comment, Bresnahan claimed to NBC he “never instructed my financial advisors on what to buy, sell, or hold. It is no secret that I built a successful career before serving, and I am beholden to no lobbyist or special interest,” as though the mere appearance of having engaged in insider training isn’t reason enough to tell his “financial advisors” to just not fucking do it.

NYC is so fcked

Stupid, stupid assholes. At least Laura Loomer realized how fucking dumb she looked and quickly tried to cover it up within 10 minutes. These two clowns are now going on 12 hours.

Beloved conservative icon Vladimir Putin’s government on Thursday went all socialist and enacted a tax hike on ordinary hardworking Russians to fund his Neocon war on Ukraine, the AP reports.

Vlad’s minions in the lower house of parliament, the State Duma, approved a bill that will raise value-added tax from 20 percent to 22 percent, appropriating what’s expected to add as much as 1 trillion rubles (about $12.3 billion) to the state budget. The bill also lowers the threshold for businesses required to collect VAT from 60 million rubles (about $739,000) in annual sales revenue to 10 million rubles (about $123,000), which will end up dinging small businesses pretty badly. So woke.

“Jeffrey Epstein, who was charged by the Trump Justice Department in 2019 (Not the Democrats!), was a lifelong Democrat, donated Thousands of Dollars to Democrat Politicians, and was deeply associated with many well-known Democrat figures, such as Bill Clinton (who traveled on his plane 26 times), Larry Summers (who just resigned from many Boards, including Harvard), Sleazebag Political Activist Reid Hoffman, Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (who asked Epstein to donate to his Campaign AFTER Epstein was charged), Democrat Congresswoman Stacey Plaskett, and many more. Perhaps the truth about these Democrats, and their associations with Jeffrey Epstein, will soon be revealed, because I HAVE JUST SIGNED THE BILL TO RELEASE THE EPSTEIN FILES!”

“As everyone knows, I asked Speaker of the House Mike Johnson, and Senate Majority Leader John Thune, to pass this Bill in the House and Senate, respectively. Because of this request, the votes were almost unanimous in favor of passage. At my direction, the Department of Justice has already turned over close to fifty thousand pages of documents to Congress,” posted Dirty Jeff’s friend on Wednesday and the fat fuck just kept going and going and going with this lies and bullshit.
