“But I don’t want to go among mad people," Alice remarked. "Oh, you can’t help that," said the Cat: "we’re all mad here. I’m mad. You’re mad." "How do you know I’m mad?" said Alice. "You must be," said the Cat, "or you wouldn’t have come here.” ― Lewis Carroll, Alice in Wonderland

  1. note to jake: you’re welcome to use that thread title as the title for your next book on aging pols.

  2. don’t miss 7:44 segment

    Los Angeles residents pushed back against President Trump’s authoritarian immigration raids this past weekend after White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller pushed ICE officials to increase the pace of their deportations.

  3. fallon and the fall at :54

    Jimmy addresses the latest news, like Trump stumbling while walking up the stairs of Air Force One, him considering selling his Tesla amid his feud with Elon Musk and Lululemon raising its prices due to tariffs.

  4. et tu, lawrence?

    Lawrence O’Donnell played the clip of Trump nearly falling while trying to board Air Force One and said that he will not be controlled and he will not allow Trump to control what is broadcast on his show.

  6. PatD, your are so right, i could handle Jake’s focus on the coverup of Biden’s condition if he at least pointed out the coverup of serious presidential flaws is happening right now.

  7. Jamie, re your new roof, we had the same experience last fall. Crew of 7 or 8 – only El Jefe spoke English. Mexican music on the boombox and the youngest member of the crew fried salmon on a propane camp stove for lunch for all of them.

  9. They never say, “I’m gonna be a dictator now.”
    They say, “Don’t worry, this is just for your safety.”
    And suddenly the tanks are on your street, not the front page.

  10. craig, haven’t read Jake’s book yet so don’t know if he at least let his readers know that those missed steps by Joe were due to the loss of feeling in his foot which had been broken while playing/chasing his dog. easy to stumble when you can’t tell when you step on a stair that’s not there.

  11. If anyone’s thinks Dodo’s face could end up on Mt. Rushmore, the truth is there’s no more rock that can be carved: his face would crumble and fall.

  14. Pat, Crazy Horse is astonishing! They’re still working on it, no feds allowed.

  15. They detained a journalist (briefly) in LA, who happened to be brown – in LA.

    They shot a journalist from the UK, who had been here for 18 years, even though he was wearing a press pass and had a giant camera; it was a sponge bullet, but required medical attention – in LA.

    They shot another journalist in the back of the leg; she is with Australia News Nine. No medical attention -in LA.

  16. The critical question is who is “they”? Local cops, county sheriffs’ deputies? State Troopers? ICE? National Guard? Marines? I sense a problem here.

  17. I wouldn’t read tapper’s book if they were giving it away with free hot dogs down at the goodwill.

  18. I’m with you Sturg on tapper’s book.

    We had a new roof put on several years ago. Same experience… only El Jefe spoke English. Although the owner of the roofing company is a French Canadian and the nephew of Rick’s best friend. He told Rick he preferred hiring Hispanics because once they are trained they work fast and accurately. Said they always show up on time (and not hung over) on Monday morning… and don’t take a liquid lunch on Fridays.

  21. OMG. What is it going to take for people to say. Enough.

    People here have had to change their whole lives because of
    the constant threat they now live under.

  26. Stephen Miller’s wife works for DOGE. She left the White House when he left. Love to be a fly on the wall for her home conversations.

    Unless KGC has remarried, Mr Cracker passed away several years ago.

  29. Think of a bowling alley during team play at seven pm, the crashing noise is never ending. Now put all that in a small half orange colored bowling ball sitting a “6’3″, 235#” senile idiot. Yup, right now the final weeks of krasnov are happening. He usually has no idea where he is in the universe. Time is a human contrivance to have a measure of our existence, he does not have that anymore. Drug addled and very low intelligence he pulls the wings off flies.

    He considers himself a king, an emperor, a dictator of the meanest kind. His rule is what he says it is, and you better do it. Except if you tell him to shove it, then he does TACO.

    The speed he is failing mentally and physically is amazing. Comparing weekly snapshots you can see what walking death looks like. Most likely he is receiving a lot of medications and fluids we are to learn of in years to come. Will he still be using the stairs for anything? Expect his entries and exits to not be public soon.

    I see the only reason that 2025 and russia is keeping him in public is they do not have another puppet. Some group is constantly pushing that Vance has been groomed to be a replacement. The guy has less appealing facade than a sick lizard. The magats will be in revolt mood after sfb goes cold, and Vance is not the one to step up on the step stool and bring them back in. So, without a back up puppet, they will let sfb rampage about doing his dictator thing. Will puttin call his loans in? We can hope.

    Good to see you.
    A thought on the protests in California. California leads the nation, what is happening there now will be everywhere in the next few years. The protests in California are aimed at specific overreach by the government. As such they will probably be more effective than the generic “No, Kings”,something the American people dismissed in the last election

    The troops that fired on the protesters were actually brought to trial by the British. But as you pointed out, too late.

  32. I learned today that NGs and Marines/soldiers/sailors are not allowed to wear masks simply to hide personal identity recognition.
    I also learned from a pop-up reel that “oats are only for feeding horses and have no place in the human diet.”
    No! I have been eating oatmeal for a long time. These quack Tik-Tok doctors with stethoscopes around their necks do not ever sway me. I had Quaker Oats today.
    Big celebrations in 2 different arenas.
    Happy birthday to the USA Army, 250 today.
    And for all saved drunks, a great remembrance, as AA was formerly started on June 10, 1935 in Akron. 90 strong, still there for millions if they want it.
    From SF Gate:
    “Thousands gather in SF for ‘epic battle’ against ICE amid Calif. raids.
    In true Bay Area fashion, Monday night’s protest had its own rhythm.

    An estimated 9,000 protesters gathered for a rally and march that started at San Francisco’s 24th & Mission BART Plaza around 6 p.m. to protest the recent raids carried out by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement across California.

    “LA is the epicenter right now [in] the struggle against fascism and the state violence,” said one protester. “We had to come out and support here and show them that they’re not alone.”

  35. Exercising powers of the Insurrection Act without invoking it. Orange chicken sh/t Taco Don is weak, and Peewee German Miller is stupid. Their cruelty blinds them. Haven’t decided whether I’d like for them to go on trial in International Criminal Court, or if it would be better for everyone if they went into a bunker and modeled their mustachioed hero’s end.

    No provocation & they shot a blonde woman.

    https://www.newsweek.com/los-angeles-protests-journalist-shot-rubber-bullets-2082640

    The shooting of a journalist by police using less-lethal munitions raises international concerns about press freedom and the safety of reporters covering unrest. It highlights the increasingly aggressive stance of U.S. law enforcement toward media during demonstrations.

  37. ICE agents are already evil, but it would be nice if Trumpco did not put 22 year-old young adults in position to shoot on protesters and their own communities

  38. https://www.cbsnews.com/news/marines-high-alert-deploy-los-angeles-ice-protests/

    700 Marines arrive in L.A. area amid ICE protests as Newsom files suit

    The Marines join approximately 2,100 members of the California National Guard who are now on location in the greater L.A. area, operating in Los Angeles, Paramount and Compton. A top Pentagon official testified to Congress that the estimated cost of deploying the National Guard and the Marines is roughly $134 million.

    *Waste. Fraud. Abuse.

  39. do you think Trump wakes up in the morning and thinks “I hope I don’t inadvertently corrupt anyone”?

  40. *Joni Ernst will enjoy the line “everybody dies,” I’ll bet. New music from David Byrne.

  42. https://www.pbs.org/newshour/nation/watch-hegseth-says-troops-could-be-in-la-for-60-days-cost-134-million

    Pentagon officials told Congress on Tuesday that troops sent by President Donald Trump to Los Angeles in response to protests against federal immigration raids would be there for 60 days, at a cost of $134 million.

    We stated very publicly that it’s 60 days because we want to ensure that those rioters, looters and thugs on the other side assaulting our police officers know that we’re not going anywhere,” Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said during an exchange with Rep. Pete Aguilar, D-Calif., during a House Appropriations subcommittee hearing. “We’re here to maintain the peace on behalf of law enforcement officers in Los Angeles, which Gavin Newsom won’t do.”

    When Aguliar asked about the cost of sending the National Guard and U.S. Marines to Los Angeles, Hegseth turned to the Pentagon’s acting comptroller/CFO, Bryn Woollacott MacDonnell. She said $134 million was “the current estimated cost” and will come out of operations and maintenance funds.

    Earlier in the hearing, Hegseth declined to provide a specific dollar amount when asked about how much the deployment would cost.

    *So, the asshat pulled $134 million out of his ass?

    federal law allows the president to call up the National Guard in three instances: when the U.S. is invaded or in danger of being invaded, when there’s a rebellion against the authority of the U.S. government, or when the president is unable to execute the law with regular forces.

    “I don’t know, you just read it yourself and people can listen themselves, but it sounds like all three to me,” Hegseth said. “If you’ve got millions of illegals and you don’t know where they’re coming from, they’re waving flags from foreign countries and assaulting police officers and law enforcement officers, that’s a problem.”

    “You just said the president is unable to execute laws of the United States?” Aguilar asked.

    “The governor of California is unable to execute the laws of the United States,” Hegseth said.

    Aguilar said the law gives authority for these orders to state governors.

    “You and I both know that President Trump has all the authorities necessary and, thankfully, he’s willing to do it,” Hegseth replied.

  44. MAGAts have taken to the streets of Beverly Hills, blocking traffic. Zero police presence.

    Hmmm, did they bus MAGAts into BH? Like, did they get a police escort to the protest?

  45. thanks for electing a guy deliberately choosing to send the country into chaos for no good reason, trumpers

    idiots

  48. I just did a dive into strange regions of the intertubes. Oh my. Time for another martini. The only good thing is rainy day on Saturday, or Sunday if you are sfb. Hopefully a heavy rain aĺl day.
    I can say sfb put up a challenge to protesters to disrupt the mango feeder parade, saw enough to be sure that will occur.
    I did see posts from names (you would recognize them) coming in to town to do protests.
    Also, watched a few minutes of the moron in his alternate world. Remember his inaugural speech from 2017, got worse. Killings in all the major cities, Dem only,crime and billions of forced Transgender surgeries of grade school children. And horrible things.
    The guy needs to be locked up.

  51. I’m just going to live my best life until they lock me up or shoot me in the head and kick me into a trench, fuck the fascists 💪 🇺🇸

  52. I’ve seen that video of the Australian female journalist being deliberately shot while obviously recording in a journalistic professional capacity with a crew while 30 yards and facing away from the law enforcement “professional” who shot her

    who’s granting that authority?

  53. Craig – June 14th is Barack Obama Appreciation Day. If you have Obama campaign merch, wear it all.

    Social media platforms are requesting Obama posts & no mention of Orange Chickensh/t Taco’s birthday bash.

    Only counter-programming; No Kings, Pope Leo, etc.

  57. Oh, my! Maybe that lightning bolt will finally find him!

    Hmmm, maybe Adolf, JD, Vought, RFKJ, Noem, MAGAt Mike, Hegseth, and Peewee German can huddle together in the rain & zap!

  59. I almost think I prefer a weak “strongman” to a spineless, self-loathing closeted puppet of the tech-bros and Putin

    it’s the “Devil you know” vs. the “Devil Wears Prada”

    …and after how he tried to ambush Zelenskyy, i’m being polite

  60. the problem with being a chaos agent is chaos no longer benefits you once you’re in power

    I was looking for responsible stewardship when I voted for Kamala, however

    Gavin Newsom Just Launched His Presidential Campaign, Scott Jennings Says

    During a news conference, the officials displayed a map of the curfew zone. Newsom then followed with a formal address to the Golden State, ripping Trump and his administration for inflaming an already combustible situation.

    “Trump and his loyalists, they thrive on division because it allows them to take more power and exert even more control. And by the way, Trump, he’s not opposed to lawlessness and violence as long as it serves him. What more evidence do we need than January 6th,” Newsom said in part.

    *Yep, Orange Adolf & Peewee German just made Newsom bigger. Now, ICE is going into Philly & Chicago, so here come Shapiro and Pritzker. Adolf just reminded everyone he’s a lame duck with this expensive and dangerous stunt.

  62. As Jimmy Kimmel said, LA is not on fire tonight. They are even having a red carpet event for a movie. And, the BET Awards were last night. Wondering how much of the small amounts of trouble were caused by, what did Adolf confess to…”paid agitators”?
