Can any reporter ask Orangeboy to explain what he means when Indians are insulted by the name change when they requested it for decades? Redskins? Really? I suppose Black people are peeved because we DO NOT use the N-word anymore too?
Another distraction. Say you care about them “injuns” while you arrest all the Latinos.

That was such a ludicrous demand that I initially sanewashed it when I saw it posted on Reddit since the claim that Native Americans are clamoring for the names to revert was at the bottom of the post so it was easy to miss. I only re-read it when people mentioned that he claimed they were hoping for the name change.
It’s one thing for some people to not have cared in the first place about the name of The Indians, or perhaps the Braves, or even to a lesser degree the Redskins, even if they ostensibly offend your heritage. But they actively want to change it back? OK then.

Ah, but you don’t realize something. Magaflatearthers*, even the head magaflatearther, thinks everyone believes, acts, and talks exactly like them. The bigots* are freaking out about their “heritage” (glorifying traitors) being disrespected by renaming certain things. Therefore any other renaming is wrong. The fools* likely even believe there actually is a tsunami of Native Americans/First Nations peoples demanding the offensive team names be changed back even though there’s no evidence.

Wow. The pubbies in office really do believe in magic.
Republican Sen. Tommy Tuberville thinks it’s not age, Big Macs, or a notorious aversion to exercise that’s making President Donald Trump ill.
It’s the radical leftists.
“The pressure on somebody like President Trump right now, not just from outside entities […] all over the world, but also fighting the radicals in this country,” the Alabama Senator told New York radio station WABC 7770 AM Sunday. “Every day, it’s almost like a fistfight.”
Tuberville’s comments come after this week’s White House announcement that doctors carried out emergency heart tests and diagnosed the president, who is almost 80 years old, with chronic venous insufficiency.
That’s a fun article! What does he think we “radical leftists” are doing, sitting at home sticking hatpins into oranges?
And the really amazing part is his admission that the felon wasn’t the picture of perfect health the pubbies have been saying he is.
The felon doesn’t want anyone but him to go golfing.
Senators hoping for an August respite after several weeks of late-night votes may not be in luck, with President Trump asking Majority Leader Sen. John Thune (R-S.D.) Saturday to cancel the chamber’s traditional late-summer recess in order to confirm his executive and judicial appointments.
“Hopefully the very talented John Thune, fresh off our many victories over the past two weeks and, indeed, 6 months, will cancel August recess (and long weekends!), in order to get my incredible nominees confirmed,” Trump wrote on Truth Social. “We need them badly!!!”
Senators are currently scheduled to confirm six Trump appointments on Monday and advance his pick to lead the Drug Enforcement Agency. Right now, members are set to take the month of August off.
And this part is scary!
The threat to cancel the recess could push senators to avoid stonewalling appointments. Trump’s most high-stakes nominees include Emil Bove, a lawyer for the Justice Department, to be a judge on a federal appeals court. Jeanine Pirro, a former Fox News host, is also up to be the top federal prosecutor in D.C.
You’re a journalist? No freedom for you! (The bolding is mine.)
Prosecutors dropped the last remaining charges against Atlanta-area journalist Mario Guevara last week after he was arrested while livestreaming a protest in June. But the influential Salvadorian reporter remains penned up in a south Georgia detention center, fending off a deportation case, jail house extortionists and despair, people familiar with his situation told the Guardian.
Donald Trump’s administration has been extreme in unprecedented ways to undocumented immigrants. But Guevara’s treatment is a special case. Shuttled between five jail cells in Georgia since his arrest while covering the “No Kings Day” protests, the 20-plus-years veteran journalist’s sin was to document the undocumented and the way Trump’s agents have been hunting them down.
Today, according to the Committee to Protect Journalists, he’s the only reporter in the United States sleeping in a prison cell for doing his job.
&
Guevara had been working for La Prensa Gráfica, one of El Salvador’s main newspapers, when he was attacked at a protest rally held by the leftwing group Farabundo Martí National Liberation Front (FMLN) in 2003. The former paramilitary organization viewed reporters from his paper as aligned with the rightwing government, and threatened his life. He fled to the United States in 2004, seeking asylum with his wife and daughter, entering legally on a tourist visa.
&
He has been reporting for Spanish-language media in the United States ever since, riding a wave of Latino immigration to the Atlanta suburbs to career success and community accolades. He began reporting on immigration crackdowns under the Obama administration, one of the few reporters to note a tripling of noncriminal immigration arrests in the Atlanta area, as noted in a 2019 New York Times video profile of his work.. He meticulously documented cases and interviewed the families of arrestees. People around Atlanta began to recognize him on the street as the journalist chasing la migra .
His work continued through the Trump administration, drawing an audience of millions that followed him from Mundo Hispánico to the startup news operation he founded last year: MGNews or Noticias MG.
&
An immigration court judge denied Guevara’s asylum claim in 2012 and issued a deportation order. Guevara’s lawyers appealed, and the court granted administrative closure of the case. He wasn’t being deported. But he wasn’t given legal residency either. Instead, the government issued him a work permit, his lawyer said. With a shrug, he went back to work.
And what’s the charge that got him locked up? A traffic offense.
The next day, Gwinnett county charged Guevara with three misdemeanor traffic offenses, claiming that they were related to Guevara livestreaming a law enforcement operation a month earlier. The charges would be sufficient to keep him in jail and provide Ice an argument for his deportation at a federal bond hearing. The Gwinnett county sheriff’s office said Guevara’s livestreaming “compromised” investigations.
The felon even fucks up at fucking up.
WASHINGTON – When President Donald Trump signed a megabill with his spending and policy priorities into law on July 4, he distanced himself from another one of his goals: dismantling the U.S. Department of Education .
Congressional Democrats have already tried to stand in the way of that effort – sometimes literally . So have the federal courts , which continue to debate the legality of the president’s attempts to weaken the agency, whose work impacts students and schools across the country.
But there’s one obstacle that’s less evident: the so-called “One Big, Beautiful Bill Act.”
Starting next year, the law will create two brand-new federal student loan repayment plans . It also expands Pell Grants, a staple of college financial aid, to include weekslong post-high school training programs. And it binds colleges to a fresh set of rules meant to protect students and save taxpayers money.
Under the law, there’s one person ultimately responsible for carrying out those directives: Education Secretary Linda McMahon.
That’s hilarious. What a fuckup he is.
The felon’s doing a great job with wildfires in national parks.
Multiple lightning strikes on July 10, 2025, were incredibly unlucky: They ignited what would become a catastrophic wildfire at Colorado’s Black Canyon of the Gunnison National Park , creating a travel emergency that’s still unfolding nearly two weeks later. The South Rim Fire has consumed over 4,200 acres and destroyed key visitor infrastructure, including the entire South Rim Campground (the park’s main campground), multiple overlooks, and essential park buildings. The most underrated national park in the U.S. — in this author’s very adamant opinion — is now cut off to a generation of parkgoers who could’ve fallen in love with its mystical cliffs and ultra-dramatic slopes.
Park officials have canceled all reservations for the South Rim Campground and Wilderness Permits with no reopening date announced. The park remains completely closed as 510 firefighters battle the blaze, which has now, finally, achieved 21% containment despite round-the-clock efforts for upwards of ten days.
Only 21%? Maybe the felon should take his own advice and get out there raking the ground.
Yes, I remember his asinine behavior and comments regarding fires in California.
And finally, a rather blunt comment to co-conspirator/accomplice Miller. (The bolding is mine; the attitude is awesome.)
In a common insult the Trump administration uses against dissidents of federal policy, White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller called a California judge a “communist” after she blocked roving immigration arrests based on race alone.
The MAGA-embraced epithet from Gov. Gavin Newsom’s official press office in response, however, was hardly typical for a Democratic politician.
“This fascist cuck in DC continues his assault on democracy and the Constitution, and his attempt to replace the sovereignty of the people with autocracy,” the California governor’s office posted on social media . “Sorry the Constitution hurt your feelings, Stephen. Cry harder.”
Trump’s most high-stakes nominees include Emil Bove, a lawyer for the Justice Department, to be a judge on a federal appeals court. Jeanine Pirro, a former Fox News host, is also up to be the top federal prosecutor in D.C.

Now that you mention it…
Ecuador’s most notorious drug kingpin has been extradited to the United States, a month after he was recaptured following a prison escape that sparked a wave of violence across the country.
Jose Adolfo Macias, better known as “Fito,” was transferred Sunday from a maximum-security prison in the port city of Guayaquil to the city’s airport, where he was handed over to US officials who arrived earlier to carry out the extradition process, according to Ecuadorian prison authorities.
A US Department of Justice plane arrived in Guayaquil around 12:45 p.m., local time, and departed with the gang leader after 2 p.m., according to the city’s aviation agency. State media outlet TC television reported the plane arrived at 12:30 p.m plane and departed at 2:12 p.m departure.

The felon and his co-conspirators/accomplices are mass deporting, to third countries yet, people who have at most committed misdemeanors. Yet here he is bringing a convicted murderer into the United States. You might recall–because you just read it–the dude was already in prison in Ecuador serving time for murder. Yeah, he escaped, but he was captured and returned to prison.
People are, quite literally, doing this, and have been since 2016. There is a loose network of Wiccans and other pagans doing defensive magic against Trump, and sticking pins into an orange is a practice that has been used in folk magic since before Trump was born. I don’t know that they’re hatpins, specifically, though.
Thoughts and prayers, huh?

The felon is unhinged.
Donald Trump has posted a bizarre AI video of former president Barack Obama being arrested and thrown in jail.
Trump, still mired in controversy over his administration’s handling of the Jeffrey Epstein files, posted the TikTok clip on his Truth Social platform on Sunday in which the Democrat is seen declaring in a rally speech that “no one is above the law.”
He is then seen being handcuffed by law enforcement during an Oval Office sitdown with a grinning Trump, created using real footage of the two men meeting at the White House in November 2016 when the Republican was president-elect and Obama about to leave office.
The Democrat is then led away and subsequently seen wearing an orange jumpsuit in a federal prison, all of which is soundtracked by The Village People’s 1970s disco anthem “YMCA,” which has become the Republican’s personal theme tune.
I think I’m going to go buy some hatpins, an orange, and some cheetos.
Remember, that kind of Wiccan magic is for defensive purposes only. Going on the offense is strictly forbidden under their belief system, with the end result being that the spell is cast back on you several times over.
I learned that from my last girlfriend.

If magic like that actually worked the MAGA types would obliterate themselves with it, when you combine their malice and their sublime conviction that rules don’t apply to them.
They’d not only hex themselves with the rebound, they’d refuse to admit that was happening and blame “woke witches” or the like.
Well, that’s why I’m not a Wiccan. (Among other reasons.)

I think we’re all safe, Wiccan or not. At this point, anything along this line should be seen as defense against the damage he continues to do.
I remember taking a religious studies course In college (Loyola Marymount). I learned that Peter and Paul (the early Christian evangelists, not the confectioners) had such a fraught relationship that they couldn’t stand to be in the same room. And that one of their biggest disagreements was over whether Gentiles were qualified to become Christians.
So …does the MAGAverse now believe that Obama is in jail?
Negotiating with Coke to use real sugar.
Do you remember when Republicans were the party of small government? The President isn’t supposed to interfere with how companies conduct their business. This is yet another mark of an authoritarian tyrant. He wants to override in a stroke of a pen the decisions of those actually qualified to make such choices. So much for democracy
What gets me is that these are pretty standard Old Man Rants that are heard and ignored all over the country, but when THIS old man yells at clouds, the clouds feel compelled to issue a statement or otherwise take them seriously.
Wouldn’t it be nice if those surrounding him just said, “Sure, Old Man” in a patronizing tone every time he said something stupid?
