“Unleash this monster and one day it will come for you. And you’ll have no principle to credibly invoke in protest when it does. You’ll be left with nothing more than lame and craven pleading that your friends do not deserve the same treatment as your enemies. Force, not principle, will be the sole factor deciding the outcome,” insufferable wiener Glenn Greenwald wrote in a scathing rant about the cancelation of New York Times contributor and Niskanen fellow Will Wilkinson after he joked on Twitter that Joe Biden should have Mike Pence hanged if he wanted to unify the country.

That was in late January 2021, during a pretty low point for MAGA world – and the start of their long and grueling road back to power. A milestone on that road was Greenwald blocking National Zero on Twitter for mocking the 20 year-ish age gap between him and his (now-deceased) husband.

Three federal law enforcement sources tell NBC News that, to the surprise of no one, Charlie Kirk’s assassin Tyler Robinson was a lone wolf and had no links to any leftist groups. “Every indication so far is that this was one guy who did one really bad thing because he found Kirk’s ideology personally offensive,” said one of the sources. Anonymously, of course, just because just acknowledging that someone found Kirk offensive would’ve been a fireable breach of regime’s rules.

Cornered by CNN’s Dana Bash on Sunday on convicted felon President Trump’s lawless reign, Oklahoma Senator Markwayne Mullin went with old “whatabout” dodge to get himself out of the jam, running out the clock on the segment after using another signature Congressional Republican move: telling Bash that Trump is very open and honest with the American people when he’s being a fascist.

Other bullshit from Sunday below:

Stay tuned and try to stay sober.

“Effective today, Sunday the 21st of September 2025, the Commonwealth of Australia formally recognises the independent and sovereign State of Palestine. In doing so, Australia recognises the legitimate and long held aspirations of the people of Palestine to a state of their own. Australia’s recognition of Palestine today, alongside Canada and the United Kingdom, is part of a co-ordinated international effort to build new momentum for a two-state solution, starting with a ceasefire in Gaza and the release of the hostages taken in the atrocities of October 7, 2023. Today’s act of recognition reflects Australia’s longstanding commitment to a two-state solution, which has always been the only path to enduring peace and security for the Israeli and the Palestinian peoples. The international community has set out clear requirements for the Palestinian Authority,” says the official announcement from the office of the Prime Minister of Australia.

“Pam Bondi is doing a GREAT job as Attorney General of the United States. She is very careful, very smart, loves our Country, but needs a tough prosecutor in the Eastern District of Virginia, like my recommendation, Lindsey Halligan, to get things moving. What we don’t need is a Democrat Endorsed ‘Republican.’ I will be nominating Lindsey Halligan to be the United States Attorney in this very important part of our Great Country. She will be Fair, Smart, and will provide, desperately needed, JUSTICE FOR ALL!” posted convicted felon President Trump on Saturday night.

America is the hottest country in the world now. A year ago we were dead, and food products like Hamburger Helper were dead too. Now all thanks to $17 trillion in new deals for international investment, closed borders, lower crime, no inflation, huge success for America – the lowest inflation in history – nobody’s ever seen anything like it. Hamburger Helper is doing incredible, tremendous sales. They love “TRUMP” because our economy is “HOT” and people can’t even believe it.

Lol. The New York Times reports sales of the, um, dinner “helper” line’s 50 or so different boxed varieties are up 14.5 percent in the year through August which is a sign that regular Americans are eating more shitty food because the fat fuck has not only done jack shit to fix the problem that got him elected but has made it worse. Some experts even literally use the term “Hamburger Helper economy,” to describe the kind of conditions surrounding such sales jumps for the product.

In a pretty plain and embarrassingly weak attempt to obfuscate his true reason for smiting his US Attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia, just after midnight on Saturday convicted felon President Trump posted “Today I withdrew the Nomination of Erik Siebert as US Attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia, when I was informed that he received the UNUSUALLY STRONG support of the two absolutely terrible, sleazebag Democrat Senators, from the Great State of Virginia. He didn’t quit, I fired him! Next time let him go in as a Democrat, not a Republican,” after Siebert resigned under pressure to bring a fake prosecution against New York Attorney General Letitia James for mortgage fraud… a “case” for which he brought as many as 15 witnesses in front of a grand jury.

Cops in Sacramento on Saturday announced they had arrested a 64 year-old local man named Anibal Hernandez-Santana after he allegedly fired at least three rounds into the lobby of the building housing the California capital’s ABC affiliate KXTV on Friday, NBC affiliate KCRA reports.

Hernandez-Santana’s political motive – or whether he actually had one – was unclear. The station, owned by affiliate chain Tegna, was the target of protests this week after Jimmy Kimmel’s show was canceled and thus, maybe not coincidentally, one of the affiliates that will be acquired by right-wing conglomerate Nexstar in a $6.4 billion deal that requires approval from the MAGA reich’s FCC.

Experiencing some sort of mental episode on Friday, Republican Texas Senator Ted Cruz told his podcast audience that what the Trump Regime just did to Jimmy Kimmel is “dangerous as hell” and warned that “If the government gets in the business of saying ‘We don’t like what you, the media have said, we’re going to ban you from the airwaves if you don’t say what we like,’ that will end up bad for conservatives,” the Dallas Express reports on a troubling development.

Even more disconcerting is that Cruz was apprehensive enough to break kayfabe by accurately characterizing this as the first true instance of government censorship, thereby negating about three fucking years of “cancel culture” and “Hunter’s laptop” shit that spandex-wearing grapple-freak Jim Jordan wasted a mind-melting amount of time and energy spittling angrily over. That very isolated precursors like the Biden Administration quietly requesting that Amazon throttle anti-vax books during the tail end of a deadly global pandemic maybe weren’t something to get that worked up over in contrast to the present a slowly dying autocrat crushing comedic dissent.

Dem Arizona Congresswoman Yaasmin Ansari on Friday emerged from the House Oversight Committee’s still-ongoing deposition of former federal prosecutor and then convicted felon President Trump’s first Labor Secretary Alex Acosta to tell CNN that Acosta is being less than credible in his answers about his decision to go easy on Donald’s friend Jeffrey Epstein, with Ansari saying Acosta believes “justice was served” in that case and that he’d done nothing wrong in reaching the deal that allowed Jeff to exit a local jail on “work release” to continue abusing girls.

Right off the bat the problem with Acosta believing he’d done nothing wrong is that the reason he resigned from Trump’s cabinet in 2019 was because of the goddamned Epstein case. That piece of shit literally freaking said “I do not think it is fair for this administration’s Labor Department to have Epstein as its focus rather than the incredible economy we have today. The right thing was to step aside,” when announcing his resignation. If that wasn’t consciousness of guilt then it was an acknowledgement that the way he handled an important case in his old job was at the very least pretty goddamned problematic and thus resigning was, in his own words, the “right thing to do.”

The House on Friday canceled votes for September 29 and 30, which Punchbowl News’s John Bresnahan reports mean a government shutdown barring a “major reversal.” The continuing resolution bill also either failed just now or is about to fail in the Senate.

Hungarian dictator Viktor Orban on Thursday told state media radio station he’s following his friend convicted felon president Trump’s lead and is designating Antifa as a terrorist group, CNN reports.

“Antifa is a terrorist organization. The time has also come in Hungary for organizations like Antifa to be classified as terrorist organizations, following the American example,” which is a nice tribute as it’s coming the same week Trump’s been following the Orban example.

George HW Bush-appointed Florida Federal Judge Steven Merryday on Friday was pretty savage in his dismissal of convicted felon President Trump’s batshit stupid $15 billion complaint against the New York Times, writing that “even under the most generous and lenient application of” federal court procedure that demands filings be compsed by and for mentally functional adults, “the complaint is decidedly improper and impermissible. The pleader initially alleges an electoral victory by President Trump ‘in historic fashion’ – by ‘trouncing’ the opponent – and alludes to ‘persistent election interference from the legacy media, led most notoriously by the New York Times.’ The pleader alludes to ‘the halcyon days’ of the newspaper but complains that the newspaper has become a ‘fullthroated mouthpiece of the Democrat party,’ which allegedly resulted in the ‘deranged endorsement’ of his principal opponent in the most recent presidential election.”

“The reader of the complaint must labor through allegations, such as ‘a new journalistic low for the hopelessly compromised and tarnished ‘Gray Lady.’ The reader must endure an allegation of ‘the desperate need to defame with a partisan spear rather than report with an authentic looking glass’ and an allegation that ‘the false narrative about ‘The Apprentice’ was just the tip of Defendants’ melting iceberg of falsehoods.’ Similarly, in one of many, often repetitive, and laudatory (toward President Trump) but superfluous allegations, the pleader states, ”The Apprentice’ represented the cultural magnitude of President Trump’s singular brilliance, which captured the zeitgeist of our time.”

So Cory Mills says he defended ISIS-sympathizer Ilhan Omar’s right to speak, because of the First Amendment. And yet, he voted to censure Rashida Tlaib. By his own logic, that’s a direct violation of her First Amendment rights. 🤦🏻‍♀️

The hypocrisy is exhausting. https://t.co/kYeWcCpLYQ

Convicted felon President Trump has ordered the firing of US Attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia Erik Siebert for refusing to bring charges against New York Attorney General Letitia James over the bullshit “mortgage fraud” allegation concerning a home in the Old Dominion State in 2023 that is currently occupied by her niece, the Washington Post’s Carol Leonnig reports.

ABC broke the news late Thursday, building on their reporting from earlier in the day but had characterized this as more of failure – as Siebert definitely tried with as many as 15 witnesses brought before a grand jury – rather than the apparent direct insubordination of not pursuing a dead-end case that Leonnig describes writing “This is frightening prosecutors far and wide – as [Siebert] was seen as loyal to Trump team and simply didn’t see a basis to bring criminal case.”

“Since June, the share of adults who say the country is on the wrong track increased 13 percentage points from 62 percent to 75 percent. The shift occurred primarily among Republicans. In June, 29 percent of Republicans said the country was heading in the wrong direction. That number is now 51 percent. The vast majority of Democrats have felt the country is headed in the wrong direction since Donald Trump won the election in 2024,” says the intro to the newest AP-NORC national survey.

Just so we’re clear here, this is what Kimmel said on Monday: “We hit some new lows over the weekend with the MAGA gang desperately trying to characterize this kid who murdered Charlie Kirk as anything other than one of them and doing everything they can to score political points from it. In between the finger-pointing, there was grieving. On Friday, the White House flew the flags at half-staff, which got some criticism, but on a human level, you can see how hard the president is taking this” after which the show played a clip of reporters talking to the fat fuck on the White House lawn, being asked how he was holding up emotionally after his dear friend Charlie was murdered.

“I think very good. And by the way, right there where you see all the trucks, they just started construction of the new ballroom for the White House, which is something they’ve been trying to get, as you know, for about 150 years, and it’s gonna be a beauty,” said Trump in the clip, after which Kimmel said “Yes, he’s at the fourth stage of grief: construction… Demolition, construction. This is not how an adult grieves the murder of someone he called a friend. This is how a 4 year-old mourns a goldfish,” and yeah you can see why the regime calls it “dangerous rhetoric.”

“Hey, you said wheel, bro.”

Ahem. The New York Post reports that Grammy-winning country singer-songwriter Brett James and two other occupants were killed when a single-engine Cirrus SR22T plane crashed in Macon County, North Carolina on Thursday afternoon. While it’s not 100 percent clear he was behind the “wheel,” the aircraft was registered to James. His credits included the headline 2006 Carrie Underwood hit for which the jokes write themselves, Taylor Swift’s “A Perfectly Good Heart,” Brantley Gilbert’s “Bottoms Up” and Rascal Flatts’ “Summer Nights,” and a shit ton of other hits that were scarcely if ever heard on terrestrial radio stations in the New York City region over the last few decades.
