No, just the opposite. Thugs in black clearing out the Democrat side of the House, lining them against a wall and shooting them. Brown people being herded across the border at bayonet point. His Nibs getting the Nobel Prize, Pulitzer Prize, and an Oscar.
Looked how they lapped up that take down of Obama in the Oval Office by FBI agents.
I kinda like the idea of force feeding maga it’s own ideology. You want to arrest Democrats? Fine here’s a bunch of AI generated videos giving you your hearts desire. A violent arrest for Obama. Joe Biden behind bars. Hillary getting tried by a federal court because “her emails.” All day everyday. If they insist on living in an information bubble let’s take advantage of that.
“See! You don’t have to vote anymore. You’ve already achieved everything you wanted!”
Wouldn’t work of course, too many still relatively honest news orgs would have to report on the videos. It would further confuse an already problematic news environment. It would further inspire and radicalize an extremist political movement. And Trump would still be fucking things up in the federal government.
I’m sympathetic to the urge though. Let them just stare endlessly at the shadows on the wall and leave the rest of us the hell alone.
Bread and videos.
This idea of The Feed being far more influential than has been discussed before, is making a lot of sense:
Here’s something Trump has grasped much more quickly than the rest of us: After a decade of feeding at the slop trough of our online political discourse, a critical mass of Americans are in such an advanced state of epistemic collapse that they have essentially given up on the idea that broad facts about the public—things like crime rates that can’t be felt or seen but can only be grasped as data—are knowable at all. The graphs, the numbers, the charts simply don’t matter. These voters either won’t ever see them in the first place, or, if they do, they’ll assume prima facie that the numbers are cooked. Many of these Americans don’t even trust their own experience—at least not first and foremost. The vast majority of people who care about violent crime as an issue haven’t suffered violent crime, and they’re not poring over the statistics. How do they get their sense of what’s what out there? Like everyone else does: by scrolling their apps and soaking in the algorithm.
To win those people, Trump and his retinue realize, you need to win the algorithm.
It’s what they see every day that matters—facts are utterly irrelevant.
Why do Republicans think America in general—and its cities in particular—have a massive raging crime problem? Because their scroll surfaces them a parade of crime content—brawls, shopliftings, gangs of teens up to no good—and a barrage of right-wing influencers confirming for them that that content adds up to an epidemic.
On this model, crime quietly going down in a given city literally doesn’t matter. … As he takes over D.C., Trump isn’t acting like a politician so much as a film producer. The goal isn’t quiet on the D.C. streets. It’s making something new for the content beast: video of clashes between masked cops and D.C. residents.
(My bolding in the quotes.)
Just look at regular broadcast television. It is heavily saturated with police/crime shows, not to mention entertainment “reality” court shows. Police good.
And where the police are shown as hapless, vigilantes above the law in the form of comic book superheroes jump in to save the day.
I’m not sure where this belongs, possibly in it’s own thread, but it may have already been brought up. I was skimming this article about a priest wanting to talk about AOC and stepping down because his church wouldn’t allow it. In it, they mentioned that churches are now allowed to endorse political candidates from the alter and maintain their tax exempt status.
In a July 7, 2025, court filing, the IRS carved out a significant new exception to the Johnson Amendment, saying churches are allowed to endorse political candidates in their “usual channels of communication” with no tax-related consequences.
May I say that this was an exceptionally stupid Republican idea.
Yeah, the right-wing pastors were already doing that, and now the law-abiding ones will be able to, too.
The law-abiding ones must now feel silly that they, you know, abided by the law for all those years.
DeSanctimonious can’t work a calendar.

Utah must redraw their Republican Gerrymandered districts.
SALT LAKE CITY (AP) — The Utah Legislature will need to rapidly redraw the state’s congressional boundaries after a judge ruled Monday that the Republican-controlled body circumvented safeguards put in place by voters to ensure districts aren’t drawn to favor any party.
The current map, adopted in 2021, divides Salt Lake County — Utah’s population center and a Democratic stronghold — among the state’s four congressional districts, all of which have since elected Republicans by wide margins.
District Court Judge Dianna Gibson made few judgments on the content of the map but declared it unlawful because lawmakers had weakened and ignored an independent commission established by voters to prevent partisan gerrymandering.
"The nature of the violation lies in the Legislature’s refusal to respect the people’s exercise of their constitutional lawmaking power and to honor the people’s right to reform their government,” Gibson said in the ruling.
New maps will need to be drawn quickly, before candidates start filing in early January for the 2026 midterm elections. The ruling gives lawmakers a deadline of Sept. 24 and allows voting rights groups involved in the legal challenge to submit alternate proposals to the court.
But appeals expected from Republican officials could help them run out the clock to possibly delay adopting new maps until 2028.
“But it’s not fair! If they make us follow the law and stop cheating we can’t stay in power!!!”
They will probably just try to take the North Carolina approach and stall long enough that they have to keep the current gerrymandered ones.
Former MLB first baseman Mark Teixeira looked around at all the fucked up shit happening in America and decided he’d like to help destroy the place by running for Congress.
Eat 10 bags of shit, Tex.
Missouri Rep. Mark Alford offerered this blistering self-own in response to an angry constituent at a town hall this week
“OK, if you didn’t want to hear my lies, why did you come here?” Alford said.
The leadership blantantly recommended AGAINST having town halls. The Republicants having them were being eaten alive by their supporters 
It’s a sort of face-eating leopard thing - these Republicans clearly think their constituents won’t eat their face!
Stupid, kind of evil, but, played right, Texas just created a real-life Infinite Money Glitch:
Lawmakers also approved House Bill 7, a sweeping crackdown on mail-order abortion medications. The bill, which passed in a party-line vote of 82–48, allows almost anyone to sue doctors, distributors, manufacturers—even delivery companies like FedEx or UPS—over pills sent into Texas. Each lawsuit, if successful, carries a minimum payout of $100,000. Women who take the medication are exempt, but anyone else in the supply chain is fair game, even if no abortion occurred.
…
HB 7 turns our communities into hunting grounds for extremist vigilantes, offering $100,000 bounties to anyone willing to spy on women seeking lifesaving health care.”
Forget vigilantes, any married couple could turn this into CA$H! Wife orders abortion pills, and she’s in the clear due to the exception for the woman actually taking the pills. Then the husband sues everyone involved in the supply chain. Wash, rinse, repeat, with as many suppliers and delivery companies as possible. At $100K a pop, a couple of million shouldn’t be that hard.
