Why I read: "Caligulan caprice" "strategic hairspray" My day is made.

Thank you for trying to connect these fast moving dots. Another doozy, per USA Today: Bill Ackman contributing $10k to ICE murderer Jonathan Ross’s GoFundMe. A piddling amount for an arrogant SOB to own the libs but I sure would love Ackman’s funding of a murderer to be publicized.

Thanks Tina. A voice of reason in these mad times is so necessary. Don’t stop. Stick it to the fool in the WH.

Thank you Tina for more of your glorious descriptions..."licked all over for so long by the uber rich and congressional toadies"... or should I say, goriest?

Great writing, Tina, but why, or why, does courage always seem to get measured by male genitalia? Surely there is some other form of measurement besides balls, especially when talking about women. Can't we admire courage, moxie and outrage without needing to reference male dominance in the form of hairy old balls.

Balls are by far the wimpiest part of males’ anatomy. Incredible marketing ploy to make us think otherwise!

Brilliant footage of Hitler’s life and those who surrounded him were the lightening bolt proof that Trump is Hitler and Miller either Goebbels or Speer and Hegseth a field Marshall. The rest can be figured out after you see the series.

Wake up everyone this is frightening. Trump is grabbing land just like Hitler and taking away your freedom.

Thanks, Tina -- I had not heard/read Sheriff Bilal's comments. The look on her face would knock down a line of ersatz ICE like dominoes. One protester -- an elegant 72-yr-old (he said) protester, who looked like a college prof, asked how do we know who these masked people are? Are they Proud Boys? Oath Keepers? Good question... that killing wasn't self defense, it was an execution!

Right on Tina !! We need more and more of this ! Speaking of Noem's grotesque lips, the Mar-a - Lago face and lip look is getting a lot of attention. Noem, Laura Loomer, Matt Gates, Natalie Guilfoyle and others have all gone in for face transplants. This week a medical doctor told me the males surrounding Trump are on testosterone. 'That's why they're angry all the time, " he said. Swollen ankles is one symptom of testosterone indulgence, and we all know about Trump's canckles.: ) A government of ghouls, fits with fascism.

Last night I binge watched the Netflix series on the Nuremberg trials. As seen through the eyes of William Shirer who lived through the war following Hitler. Shirer broadcast at great peril daily

Perfect line: "Yes, we can applaud California Governor Gavin Newsom’s 2025 social media bravura, but it’s had the whiff of strategic hairspray."

Thank you, Tina! We need you to post your comments. It helps us believe our lying eyes! RIP, Ms Good.

I agree with mike, Caligulan Caprice (which is not a 70s Chevrolet, I checked) is the phrase of the day. Fortunately the BBC showed I Claudius again a couple of years ago, the amazing dramatisation of Robert Graves novel “I, Claudius”(made in the 1970s) which showed the full level of depravity of the Roman Emperors from Augustus to Claudius (Tiberius, Nero, Caligula in between).

Caligula is played by John Hurt, who goes completely mad, marries his sister, convinces himself he is a God … it doesn’t end well. But the caprice is the essence of the character, nothing has a reason - if he wants something to happen then it must. There is no reason for anything.

Back to President Trump. He knows nothing about the oil industry, and has no interest in democracy or freedom. In Venezuela or Minnesota.

He is told that he can’t deploy the Army, or the National Guard to Illinois or Minnesota, so he sends barely trained young men with guns - for no reason, other than these are States that didn’t vote for him. This is pathetic, from a man ashamed of his bone spurs.

The President clearly lacks mental capacity. The 25th Amendment is the cleanest solution for this failing president.

Renee Good seems to have been a warm and friendly person, she used the term “dude”. She deserved a better president, more capable of fulfilling the duties of a president.

The flaming picture of the Ayatollah being used to light a cigarette happened in Canada not Iran.

Jessica Drew's avatar

Her name is Morticia Addams. She lives in Canada. She is very much alive. She is still posting on twitter at her handle (@melianouss).

Sheriff Bilal should be in Trump's cabinet, she would double the average IQ and make sure that Trump stays awake. She is clearly very sensible:

"No law enforcement professional wears a mask, none…Law enforcement professionals do not stand in front of moving vehicles, invoking an action that is ILLEGAL.”

Thank you, Tina. Keep speaking up! 👍

The cowboy hat, signifying what exactly? The wild west or a bad-hair day?

I would leave the country but no one wants us anymore, unless we’re George Clooney.
