Hastily bade Zarathustra’s most distant, nihilist kin down unto the nadir on Friday last whilst Superman: The Ride, a rivet-steel ubermensch of thrilling twists and hallows of Six Flags New England. The red-caped god is dead, dead for petty material failure in is dreadful cogs.

And yeah, the roller coaster broke down and the riders had to be evacuated, People reports.

Convicted felon President Trump personally told Axios that his naval blockade of Iran “is somewhat more effective than the bombing. They are choking like a stuffed pig. And it is going to be worse for them. They can’t have a nuclear weapon,” and of course Axios being Axios, they didn’t ask him why he didn’t just order a blockade in the first place instead of the bombing campaign that cost the lives of hundreds of civilians in Iran and elsewhere across the Middle East in the retaliatory strikes.

In one fell swoop three defections – Florida maniac Anna Paulina Luna, Wyoming Senate hopeful Harriet “I am not George Santos” Hageman, and Arizonan white nationalist gubernatorial hopeful Andy Biggs – from the House GOP caucus’s Wednesday rule vote on extending FISA, the annual farm bill, and a budget resolution wiped out the most slapdick plans of mice and Mike Johnson.

There’s been a lot of coverage of dysfunction among House Republicans this week on the political news sites. To call it “news” is taking it too far however as the word by nature implies that dysfunction among House Republicans is not news. One could compare it to the wetness of the ocean and that only when a tsunami or hurricane inflicts said wetness upon what was typically dry does it become news. Then again this might simply be a slightly-above-normal high tide.

In a 6-3 pro-MAGA decision, the US Supreme Court on Wednesday nuked a Black-majority Congressional district in Louisiana but did not wholly strike down Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act.

The consensus from the legal Twitters so far seems to be that yes, of course this advantages Republicans given the number of majority-minority districts across the South, while at the same time it does not appear to mean a clean win on the scale of how the Dobbs decision immediately ended abortion access at 10:01 AM the day of. There will be a shit ton more lawsuits filed and anyone who tells you this is 12 free seats for the GOP in November is simply working off maximal expectations.

That people even have those expectations speaks to how entrenched a revanchist, malevolent autocracy is in American federal power structures and the position is simple: Next Dem trifecta 100 percent has to (A) kill the filibuster to squash the GOP veto on meaningful changes. (B) Add seats to the Supreme Court or otherwise nullify the MAGA majority’s stranglehold (C) Pass a new Voting Rights Act ending partisan gerrymandering and expanding the number of seats in the House with a strong tilt toward more densely-populated regions. (C) Add new states to the union that are more or less guaranteed to send Democrats to the Senate. And then pad it out. Look to smaller countries in the Carribbean, even South America or Africa, that would become states willingly, voluntarily, and by the popular consent of their people the same way the Republics of California, Texas, West Florida, and a number of others joined way back when. The GOP needs decades in the wilderness to reform and become anything recognizable again as a chemically-balanced party of government.

That’s the agenda. No more fucking litmus tests about puberty blockers or microaggressions or pronouns or whatever the next unforced electoral liability is going to be. THIS is the litmus test for Dem candidates: Are you going to have the balls to do the job and quarantine the sociopaths until they get well? Or are you going to “defer to tradition” and “avoid rocking the boat” until the minute President Donald Trump Jr falsely swears to uphold the law on a crypto-sponsored Bible in 2033?

Minutes after Dems on the committee announced a bid to hold disgraced and rejected former Attorney General Pam Bondi in contempt for failing to testify, Punchbowl’s Max Cohen reports that chairhick James Comer’s staff say it’s “unnecessary” and Bondi’s coming in on May 29th.

A source tells the Atlantic that convicted felon President Trump’s self-image is starting to catch up with some of us in the non-MAGA electorate and meida’s perception of him as a false messiah, Antichrist, and so on with the tropes whose tiredness doesn’t make them any less true.

“He’s been talking recently about how he is the most powerful person to ever live. He wants to be remembered as the one who did things that other people couldn’t do, because of his sheer power and force of will,” said the source in one of the most believable insider quotes ever printed.

Another source goes on to describe Trump as being liberated from giving a fuck about how Republicans do in the midterms, indirectly quoted saying Donald’s “not particularly worried whether he loses the House, and that he cares only slightly about holding the Senate,” as a Dem majority in the upper chamber means “a six-month impeachment trial versus three hours.”

No, both sides aren't equally responsible for political violence. The media loves sharing graphs and "data" showing the Right is more violent than the Left, but the organizations producing that data are cooking the books so they can smear the Right with the Left's crimes. pic.twitter.com/nqidqSOcTu

Dangerous domestic terrorist James Comey is expected to be permitted to self-surrender – again, for the second time in under a year because this is the second time in under a year he’s been indicted on a bullshit charge – when he shows up in court Monday for threatening to kill the President of the United States because he posted a pic of seashells that said “8647,” CNN reports.

An Indiana Dem running for the state senate is facing charges of possession of cocaine and a misdemeanor count of resisting law enforcement after residents of a Fishers neighborhood reported him behaving erratically while going door-to-door canvassing at 8PM on Sunday, Fox News reports.

Cops responded and found 38 year-old Andrew Dezelan, who is running in the May 5 Democratic primary for Senate District 31, sitting in his car looking all twitchy. The misdemeanor is from the brief struggle that ensued. It’s not clear if this helps or hurts Dezelan’s bid .

What an interesting way to try to get an adversarial nation to take a nearly 80 year-old man seriously: Waking up at 4:05 AM and posting AI slop of something that not only will never happen, is actually the opposite of what happened in real life when he had the opportunity to join the military and see combat against the North Vietnamese Army and Vietcong that tens of thousands of American men his age died fighting in a bloody, awful conflict that last almost a decade.

A day after his wife’s sentence was bumped up from 20 months to four years, disgraced former South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol got it rubbed in his face a little bit more on Wednesday as court tacked seven years onto his life sentence for the relatively minor crimes of resisting arrest and some procedural bypass before he stupidly declared martial law in 2024, the AP reports.

Funny story about that Obama-branded MetroCard: They all would have had to have been printed while George W Bush was still president. And the federal government didn’t print them, the WMATA did. And without going on a long tangent about how the WMATA is a multi-state authority and all that shit, let’s just remark this being the official White House response to mockery from a citizen.

ICE agent Jonathan Ross apparently has recovered from being “run over” by a half-ton SUV less than four months ago and is back on the job in another state, PunchUp reports. Maybe some libs can use Palantir facial recognition software to identify him the next time he’s caught on camera in broad daylight shooting a US citizen in the face three times, wherever he’s stationed now.

“On or about May 15, 2025, in the Eastern District of North Carolina, the defendant, JAMES BRIEN COMEY JR, did knowingly and willfully make a threat to take the life of, and to inflict bodily harm upon, the President of the United States, in that he publicly posted a photograph on the internet social media site Instagram which depicted seashells arranged in a pattern making out ’86 47′, which a reasonable recipient who is familiar with the circumstances would interpret as a serious expression of an intent to do harm to the President of the United States,” says the indictment against the ex-FBI chief for the stupid seashells post on count one. Count two is “interstate commerce” something.

Todd Blanche and pals will step up to the podium at 4:30…

In these fraught political times it’s important to paste 8647 8647 8647 8647 8647 8647 8647 8647 8647 8647 8647 8647 8647 8647 8647 8647 8647 8647 8647 8647 8647 8647 8647 8647 8647 8647 8647 8647 8647 8647 8647 8647 8647 8647 8647 8647 8647 8647 8647 8647 8647 8647 8647 8647 8647 8647 8647 8647 8647 8647 8647 8647 8647 8647 8647 8647 8647 8647 8647 8647 8647 8647 8647 8647 8647 8647 8647 8647 8647 8647 8647 8647 8647 8647 8647 8647 8647 8647 8647 8647 8647 8647 8647 8647 8647 8647 8647 8647 8647 8647 8647 8647 8647 8647 8647 8647 8647 8647 8647 8647 8647 as many times as will reasonably fit the format.

James Comey’s a self-important dick and you make us real Americans defend him like a persecuted martyr again and again and again because your fat fuck boss can’t just let it go. So 8647.

“The Chancellor of Germany, Friedrich Merz, thinks it’s OK for Iran to have a Nuclear Weapon. He doesn’t know what he’s talking about! If Iran had a Nuclear Weapon, the whole World would be held hostage. I am doing something with Iran, right now, that other Nations, or Presidents, should have done long ago. No wonder Germany is doing so poorly, both Economically, and otherwise!” posted convicted felon President Trump on Tuesday, a day and a half after Merz’s comments soberly summarizing how badly Trump fucked up with Iran rather than anything pro-Iranian nuclear program.
