White “back the blue” family shocked after suffering police abuse
What’s the point of white privilege if it doesn’t get you a police escort to the veterinarian? A white “back the blue” family was speeding their dog to the veterinarian after it had been hit by a car. When stopped by the police, they assumed white privilege and that cops would escort them to medical […]

It’s impossible to satirize the stupidity of MAGAts because they’re stupider than any smart person can pretend to be. How else to explain the results of the recent poll of 2,200 dog owners found that 37% of them consider canine vaccines unsafe because – I’m not making this up – they might give their dogs […]

Jan. 6 Proud Boys leader Joseph Biggs sentenced to 17 years
This defense – “I’m not a seditionist or terrorist, but was just hanging out with some seditionists and terrorists when sedition and terror broke out.” Reminds me a lot of this classic Onion headline – Why Do All These Homosexuals Keep Sucking My Cock?

Trump admits that he has no legitimate legal defense – everything rides on being President again
I think we all knew this, but now it is confirmed.
From a Monday morning New York Times report written by Alan Feuer, “Trump has made no secret in private conversations with his aides of his desire to solve his jumble of legal problems by winning the election. If either of the two federal trials he is confronting is delayed until after the race and Mr. Trump prevails, he could seek to pardon himself after taking office or have his attorney general simply dismiss the matters altogether.
And if he doesn’t win in 432 days he’ll probably submit quietly to the FBI and serve his time.

Former President Trump told conservative media personality Glenn Beck he would prosecute his political enemies if elected president again.
“You said in 2016, you know, ‘Lock her up,’” Beck reminded Trump of his statements about Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton in 2016 during an appearance on his BlazeTV show Tuesday. “And then when you became president, you said, ‘We don’t do that in America. That’s just not the right thing to do.’”
“That’s what they’re doing,” Beck continued, asking the former president, “Do you regret not locking her up? And if you’re president again, will you lock people up?”
Trump, who dismissed the various charges he faces in Georgia, New York, Florida and Washington, D.C., said there is “no choice.” “Well, I’ll give you an example… The answer is you have no choice, because they’re doing it to us,” Trump said, adding that he “never hit Biden as hard as I could have.”
“I always had such great respect for the office of the president and the presidency … And then I heard he was trying to indict me, and it was him that was doing it,” he said.
