RIP 1A

Well, another Dalíesque week in Kleptolandia. The protestors in “war ravaged” Portland played for keeps, since it seems that ICE thugs are terrified of frogs.

Not to mention a T-Rex with serious moves.

Meanwhile, ICE thugs in Chicago—defending the White Christian supremacy, as ordained by the Orange One—shot a pepper ball point blank into the head of a Presbyterian minister who was <checks notes> doing nothing except urging the ICE snipers on the roof to think about Christian teachings.

And the Kleptocrat said the quiet part out loud:

There is no longer a First Amendment in that dementia-fueled world of his.

Pro Tip: The courts—including an actually non-dysfunctional SCOTUS—have upheld flag burning as protected speech. Of course, with these six clowns, it may be up for grabs, especially as Thomas has declared that precedents are not even really guidelines.

Finally, today Cadet Bonespurs is getting his second “annual” medical checkup of 2025. It’ll turn out that he’s 6’4”, 225lbs of nothing but muscle and once again aced that test. You know, the one no one’s ever aced like he does.

So our earworm for today is the “Imperial March”. Typical of John Williams' oeuvre, it's heavy-handed, bombastic, hollow and overwrought. Like every Republican in office.
