Trump s**ts on the NABJ, says Kamala isn't really black, and America's favorite news show, Received Opinion with Bolt Upright, is ON IT!

Tubby insults a bunch of black people and Received Opinion is ON IT!

So:

We call Republicans weird because they want to track women's periods, prevent them from crossing state lines for abortions, and keep them as broodslaves.

They call us weird because we don't hate drag queens.

Think we got the edge here.

Today's REBID is on the Democrats' new tendency to call Republicans "weird" -- to which I say, as someone who's been chronicling their freakishness for decades, what took you so long?

I told you conservatives were weird -- now Democrats are catching on

James Chance and the Contortions in New York in the 70s. The band was s**t tight, Chance's sax was hot, and he engaged the crowd like nobody else -- sometimes in contact improv, sometimes in battle, depending on how they reacted. It was punk, jazz, theater: the real thing.

James Chance, the No Wave icon who served as the saxophonist and singer of the Contortions and Teenage Jesus And The Jerks, has died. He passed away in New York, his brother David Siegfried announced. He was 71.

"I know democracy fans are not supposed to be able to enjoy anything anymore. The good economic numbers and legislative and regulatory achievements of the Biden administration (not to mention Biden’s judicial appointments) are, we are regularly told, meaningless, as the voters allegedly either think we’re in a recession or agree with the driltweet 'zero difference between good & bad things' super-geniuses that elections are mostly about vibes and Trump has to win because he is an exception to all natural laws.

"Maybe. But it is something to see ordinary citizens serving as jurors examine Tubby’s crimes in an ordinary judicial proceeding and — despite all the Al Capone bulls**t by him and his goons — pronounce him guilty."

Take the W, folks

Don't worry, they're gonna fix it so Trump doesn't conk out at the defense table again.

Conservatives used to pretend to give a s**t about a lot of things -- deficits, law and order, democracy etc.

No more.

Looks like it was always just a cover for fascism.

“Thought leaders” of the far right talk openly about a 2025 dictatorship. People need to be alarmed.
