Is Dibs also the attorney handling The Donald’s genius lawsuit against Facebook, Google, Pinterest, Hotmail, Penny Mailer, et al? The law firm Dibs,Hansoff, Itza & Mine is well known in Jersey personal injury circles.

I remember being like, 10 and wondering why a doctor had to take an oath to become a hypocrite. Hypocrites are bad, right? Later on I figured it out. I think this guy may have been confused too. He evidently never figured it out.

Christ, another CPAC? It seems like the last one was only 3 or 4 months ago. Maybe they’ve started to run them quarterly.

The conservative movement: a death cult willing to disproportionately kill off their own voters for political advantage. They must be very confident in their voter suppression/election rigging capabilities.

This one's dark & strangely prophetic: a vision of the Trumpovian long game, the GOP dance of death, fueled by assaulting toadies into complicity, & skull-fucking the supine media.

Behold a pale horse, as honky as its rider.

I've heard that BiPACs are more comfortable, but I guess they're afraid it'd sound queer.

As I think a very obvious fake actually would be net-negative for them—though I don't think Trump doesn't yet understand the limits of playing exclusively to the hard-core—this seems a little hopeful to me, variants willing.

I think "Tapeheads"/"UHF"/Watergate-style recording of Trump saying what he really feels about RealAmerica™ as per here might still help, again the hard-core would just shrug or believe it were faked, but there are still enough non-absolute shitheels around….

"We got all the evidence here — and in your bank account, you’re gonna see evidence like you wouldn’t believe."

What if someone said to Trump, "Sir, I don't want to alarm you, but we've heard that certain people have been feeding you poison, and it should start having an effect in about a week to ten days"? How would it affect him? Because isn't narcissism the reversed-polarity version of paranoia? It's not "everyone is out to get me," but "everyone should admire me." Might it take root?

Folks used to wonder if the world would end in a bang or a whimper but apparently it'll just sink in a sea of lies instead. Well, it couldn't happen to a nicer bunch of primates.

You know that political interrogation of teachers and students mandated by Florida's new indoctrination law? I have it on good authority that this is one of the questions:

29. Fill in the blank: Person, Woman, Man, Camera, _______.

If you can't answer this one, you're not only politically suspect, but required to take an immersive course of Remedial Facebook.

By the way, Trumps Fauci monologue is a thing of beauty.

I need to apologize. When I read this:

"that variant’s gonna roll into their little towns like clouds of poison gas and they’re gonna die by the thousands, by the millions. Then Donald Trump doesn’t look so bad, does he?"

I thought, "Oh, now Roy's gone too far, even Donald Trump wouldnt..."

And then I caught myself and remembered what he said to Bob Woodward and what he was saying to the rest of us at the same time.

A stadium full of yahoos howling at a jumbotron picture of an incontinent oldster is pretty fucking scary. "Keep telling yourself, it's only an episode of Roy Edroso Breaks it Down, Breaks it Down, Breaks it Down..."

"It’s Fauci, like Capone or Lucky Luciano, he’s a kingpin, an old-fashioned greaseball kingpin. You know, like me! When I'm done slapping you around, Dibs will explain it to you."
