I know it sucks when you have a whole day planned and you got the mower out and the weather’s nice and then the president says he’s going to exterminate a whole civilization but you ran for senator dawg, not me, jump on that amtrak and maybe see if you can get a meeting with a general or something?

“A whole civilization will die tonight” is the most vile thing a US president has ever said, certainly during the post-1945 era when they’ve had the power to kill civilizations with the dropping of a bomb. I’m staring into the darkness. May this not be one of the most fateful days in human history.

saying “a whole civilization will die” is not a “grave threat,” it is a confession of genocidal guilt and evidence of a psychotic break from a deeply demented and dangerous freak. this is like saying “the zodiac killer has published an interesting new crossword puzzle”

it’s like the fire department shrugging and saying “we hope the arsonist stops setting things on fire”

at some point this kind of thing becomes even more depressing than the post it’s responding to. we know trump is a deeply unwell criminal psycho but it’s deflating when you feel like the people you expect to be sane and reasonable dom’t respomd with the urgency the situation requires

it’s not new information but we will repeat it every day. trump’s 2024 campaign was shamelessly, brazenly fraudulent and that’s why he’s at almost 70% disapproval. the whole thing was a lie and voters just needed to touch the hot stove again and they did and they fucking hate it

really fun closer look tonight. an accurate history of the paper clip and a true story about mr. and mrs. met visiting the @latenightseth.bsky.social studio. we guess what trump’s mystery gift from Iran was, survey the state of the maga agenda and discuss hegseth’s throttle youtu.be/XB569g9-giQ?si=NDKTC2YMcTNheTNh

they’ve been telling this lie for years because they want you to think americans are maga and anti-trump politics are unpopular when the opposite is true. the maga-ified cbs is tanking and the daily show is having its best ratings in years

obviously the linear tv business model is broken but it’s because giant tech companies ate up all the profits. the money used to go to networks and now it goes to youtube. but way more people watch late night shows than theo von. these guys just make shit up because they’re republicans

every single day the late night shows rack up millions of views on youtube alone

we are the smallest of these shows and we have more youtube subscribers than theo von

the episode this clip is from currently has about 1/5th the views of our most recent monologue

these guys are literally just lying

for his entire life trump has gotten away with being an obnoxious lunatic toddler bully because everyone else around him is reasonable and conflict-avoidant so they placate him. He didn’t consider that Iran might go full Joker on him and burn it all down, so now we have a Joker vs. Joker situation

THREAD: I got laid off from NYMag/Vulture after 14 years. The family lost 75% of income + medical. Now mzs.press bookstore, once a side project. is do-or-die for Judith & I. I feel weird telling you this because others are doing much worse. But if you could like or share this, we'd be so grateful!

“we’re punching ourselves in the dick and we’re doing it very strongly, folks. no president had the courage to punch america in the dick until I came along, and we’re not stopping after one punch. we’re doing two, three, four. we’re gonna keep punching ourselves in the dick and we’re not gonna stop”

this new york times headline stopped me in my tracks. I am stunned. They posted this on the same day trump lied about bombing a girls’ school. And this isn’t even an op-ed. This is supposed to be news. These people desperately want to be doormats to power. My god. I am at a loss for words.

“the white house doctor has released a statement dismissing the speculation about the president’s health and explaining that he simply contracted the rash after boarding an alien vessel filled with eggs. he’s applying a standard cream until the lifeform bursts from his chest and the rash subsides”

the fact that the administration is too lazy and incompetent to even try to sway public opinion on Iran should be a huge opportunity for the opposition but instead democrats are taking two days to organize a virtual conference call like they’re in a book club that got moved to zoom because of snow

every 20 years a republican president starts a war in the middle east and crashes the economy and everyone hates it and votes tnem out then a Dem takes over and conservatives whine about how the Dem is mean to them and everyone forgets and puts a republican back in and it happens all over again

is it just me or is it somewhat unnerving that the worst and dumbest people on earth are currently building an actual real life skynet

Donald Trump killed two of my constituents. He is a liar and should be ashamed of himself.

many have attempted over the past 10+ years to craft a nuanced theory of trumpism that grapples with the complexities of human behavior and political realignment but then you see stuff like this and it’s impossible to avoid the obvious which is that these are just the stupidest fucking morons alive

we really need to start wrapping our heads around the fact that if we ever get back into power there will have to be mass prosecutions of hundreds of people, from trump, noem and miller all the way down to ICE agents and the staff at dilley. anything less is complicity in state sponsored child abuse

there was nothing unusual about it at all, we were simply travelimg via boat through the caribbean with our multiple nannies when we stopped off for lunch on a private island with a billionaire registered sex offender. completely innocuous and normal. an all-american family vacation
