OK, now we can stop talking about how icky it is that people get old and focus on the fact that the GOP candidate is a rapist and Russian dupe who fantasizes about screwing his daughter, mass deportations, and Hannibal Lecter, and should already be dying in prison for high crimes including treason.

Eviscerate that criminal on the debate stage from asshole to toupée, Madam Soon-to-Be-President. We got you.

New Yorker staff writers, blink twice if you need an emergency extraction.

The title of Trump-boosting fascist Jack Posobiec's new book, "Unhumans," literally does sound better in the original German: "Untermenschen" or "Lebensunwertes Leben," the label applied to disabled people, gays, Jews, Romani, and Communists before they were forced into camps and exterminated. I'm sure it's a conscious echo, if you were wondering what Project 2025 has in mind for your neighbors.

I guess once you firmly establish your reputation in the minds of the media as someone who is utterly incapable of anything resembling coherent, logical speech but is still able to work up little squirts of spaced-out racist verbal diarrhea on command SPLAT they'll never write op-eds about your "gaffes." Trump has trained the media well. https://www.threads.net/@gtconway3dg/post/C9nHoTaplcf?xmt=AQGzBahaYvAXNIUIPvxg2e2tIA_7vtwm_9nJi7SiPnognQ

History may not repeat itself, but it rhymes.

To ensure that as many #LGBTQ+ people die of AIDS as possible, House GOP votes to defund HIV prevention program that Trump once praised.

I keep seeing surprised posts along the lines of "Huh, I went to [insert event, conference, club, on an airplane, the Sphere] and got COVID!" Meanwhile CNN is running headlines saying "COVID-19's Back." Friends, it never, ever went away and I'm still masking in indoor spaces for your protection as well as my own.

This is a moth-eaten gambit by fey creeps and sleazeballs freakishly obsessed with homosexuality like Tucker, who's been white-knuckling it since name-checking Harvey Milk's assassin in his yearbook. Norman Podhoretz used to claim Allen Ginsberg was only posing as gay to outrage the bourgeoisie because Ginsberg didn't fit Podhoretz's queeny stereotype. https://www.advocate.com/news/tucker-carlson-pete-buttigieg-gay?utm_source=threads&utm_medium=infeed

And here's the GOP's candidate for vice president calling RAPE and INCEST "inconvenient" for women forced by GOP laws to have their abusers' children. https://www.threads.net/@bidenharrishq/post/C9dUAEiqyWx?xmt=AQGzVg4ejIpr9X2yc--M-Nwz0sgY8Y56Z0nzD0VfB1JxkQ

Instead of focusing on the naked craven hypocrisy of JD Vance once calling Trump "America's Hitler" and now running with him, focus on the fact that his "Hillbilly Elegy" gave America's pundit class a chew toy in 2016 so they would focus on "economic anxiety" rather than MAGA racism and the GOP's collusion with Russia. Dozens of NY Times interviews in diners followed, while the evidence trail was buried. It's Putin's party all the way now, and it's captured SCOTUS. [photos via @gettyimages]

I have no doubt Trump is guilty of selling our top-secret documents to our enemies - crimes more grave than those for which Trump's mentor, Roy Cohn, executed the Rosenbergs. If Trump and the GOP are not soundly defeated at the ballot box in November and the horrific schemes of Project 2025 are set in motion, we will no longer be living in the America we grew up in. In many ways we already aren't. [New Yorker cover by Anita Kunz]

Rest in peace, fitness guru Richard Simmons, who made exercise accessible to a wide range of body types. I waited on him once when I was a waiter, and despite his wild and crazy media persona, he was a very sweet, softspoken, and gentle queen, instantly endearing.

Two out of three of the leading candidates for President of the United States in 2024 are rapists. But the third makes "gaffes," so what are voters supposed to do?

13 years ago, Ry Cooder wrote an ASTONISHINGLY prescient song.

"And then the day dawned bright and hard

When I stole away the court of nine

The Judas men served the cause

And the sacred church of law is mine

Justice has been cast down

I want my crown, I want my crown"
