According to the commander-in-chief By: Austin Abbring October 9, 2026 Donald Trump at a rally in Nebraska “Let them hit a missile into San Diego or Los Angeles on the way. Let them hit. You want to see a horror show? You want to see problems? Let them hit San Diego. Let them hit Los Angeles if you want to see some bad things happen. You want to see a country that would be in free fall?” This, of course, is a totally rational excerpt from a speech President Trump made in Neb

The banality of cruelty knows no bounds By: Austin Abbring September 24, 2026 The Trump administration continues a deportation process with not a single modicum of human dignity behind it. The administration has struck deals with 35 countries, primarily in Africa and South America, which have seen the deportation of at least 25,000 individuals who have no connections to the country they are being deported to. Of the approximate 700,000 formal deportations since President Tru

This is remarkably grotesque and inhumane, but it is obviously no surprise By: Austin Abbring September 15, 2026 “Telephone Booth” detainee cages at ICE facility in Ochopee, Florida. Photo credit: DHS/OIG There is some pretty damning reporting coming from The Guardian about a government watchdog report about the Trump administration essentially covering up the truth about horrific cages that held detainees outdoors, exposed to brutal Florida elements. Alligator Alcatraz ha

It kind of sounds like election interference… By: Austin Abbring September 11, 2026 The Republican Party held its first-ever midterm convention in Dallas this week. This only indicates how well things are going for the GOP right now. Dubbed “Trump-a-palooza”, it was meant to spark some energy among Republican voters. Which simply means spreading propaganda, misinformation, xenophobia, transphobia, and perpetuating lies about elections, Democrats, and immigrants. The typical

The dementia has fully set in By: Austin Abbring September 8, 2026 Donald Trump's 9/11 Commemoration address from the White House The dementia has completely melted Donald Trump’s mind. This is not a new revelation; however, today it reared its ugly head in the worst imaginable way possible: making false claims about his experience on September 11th, in front of victims’ families and first responders from that tragic day. Earlier today, at a White House event commemorating 9

And where is the Democratic Party? By: Austin Abbring September 1, 2026 Angie Nixon and Abdul El-Sayed continue to face the utmost racist and bigoted vitriol from Republican media. They continue to fight this battle alone on an island, as the Democratic Party is nowhere to be found to support them as they face unadulterated character- and trope-based attacks. I have a few screenshots of some recent social media posts surrounding both Senate-hopeful candidates, where I will s

This is infuriating By: Austin Abbring August 28, 2026 The Democratic Party desperately needs new leadership. Desperately. I am going to reserve my frustrations with Chuck Schumer for another time and focus on a disastrous month for House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries. I mean, Jeffries' leadership in the Democratic Party has been a disaster for far more than the past month, but August has been especially disappointing. If Democrats continue to put members like Schumer and

Again, please get this man off the air. By: Austin Abbring August 19, 2026 Jesse Watters continues to do Jesse Watters things. I try to refrain from writing about everything this man says because I could dedicate an entire blog to picking apart his ill-guided, misleading, non-evidence-based arguments and have enough content to post daily. Sometimes, however, he just goes on these rants that are so horrific and incoherent that I just cannot help myself. I try to separate what

Someone take this geriatric’s phone away By: Austin Abbring August 10, 2026 It is truly disturbing how desensitized we have all become to the blatant anti-Muslim racism we have endured from the president. I miss the days when this did not just feel like another Tuesday. There are not enough trees to supplement the amount of books, or semiconductors to produce enough laptops to document all of the horrific, Islamophobic slandering right-wing pundits, media, and politicians ha

Trump’s insane tariff policies must be halted By: Austin Abbring August 3, 2026 A faction of 25 Democratic states is now challenging the latest round of tariffs implemented by the Trump administration after filing a lawsuit in the U.S. Court of International Trade. These states have asserted that the new tariff agenda is merely a false justification for maintaining aspects of Trump’s tariff policy, which has been an integral part of his platform, after his previous two attem

And incredibly racist. No surprises here. By: Austin Abbring July 28, 2026 Elon Musk CPAC 2025, photo credit: Gage Skidmore, unedited, https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/2.0/legalcode.en Elon Musk is painfully unfunny, woefully misinformed, immensely dangerous with the wealth and influence he has amassed, and is a perfect case study of how stupid, out of touch, and simple-minded a large majority of the billionaire and multi-millionaire class are. A large portion of

Someone is afraid of powerful women By: Austin Abbring July 24, 2026 Jesse Watters Photo Credit: Gage Skidmore, unedited, https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/2.0/legalcode.en Jesse Watters is such a disgraceful human being. He might be my least favorite talking head on Fox. He is disingenuous, backward, and a complete sycophant for everything wrong in our society. He is a true champion of what this MAGA movement is all about. I could dedicate an entire blog to comme

Or should I say “dum”? By: Austin Abbring July 23, 2026 I think this is something we are all well aware of at this point. The man obsessed with magnets, windmills, and toilet water pressure does not exactly shine as a beacon of intelligence, but he somehow finds a way to reach lower depths. We may be getting close to bedrock. There are a few things I want to point out in this bizarre Truth Social post Donald Trump made yesterday morning following primary races in Arizona. To

What a disaster By: Austin Abbring July 20, 2026 As I have continued to review Donald Trump’s address from a few days ago, all I can say is that this is yet another instance of behavior by Donald Trump that should invoke the 25th Amendment. It is unfortunate that I can toss around that notion so easily and so often, but here we are. The 25th should have serious implications, and I hate to almost water it down with this presidency, but I do not know how else to classify this

Another blatant disregard for election functionality by this administration By: Austin Abbring July 16, 2026 In light of President Trump’s ramblings in his address to the nation, this feels like a perfect time to discuss this action from around a week ago. With just a few months to go before we hit midterms, Donald Trump fired the 2 remaining Democratic commissioners and essentially forced the one remaining Republican commissioner to resign from the Election Assistance Com

In case you missed it By: Austin Abbring June 29, 2026 Supreme Court hands Trump an early defeat in his attacks on mail-in voting: While I estimate we will still face numerous attacks on mail-in voting and our election processes in general, this is a win for our democracy going into the midterms. Two Republican justices joined three liberal justices to reject the Republican effort to not allow states to count mailed ballots that arrive at election offices after election day.

Sounds like someone is a little nervous about a potential shift in the electorate By: Austin Abbring June 28, 2026 Mike Johnson is so painfully unfunny and such a cuck to President Trump and the GOP. A couple of days ago, he delivered a speech where he attempted to mock socialism and DSA (Democratic Socialists of America) platforms. This did not turn out to be the flex he thought it was, as these principles are necessary if we are going to make any real change or progress in

In honor of the president turning 80, examine 8 0 star moments from the 2nd Trump administration By: Austin Abbring June 14, 2026 Donald Trump will be celebrating his 80th birthday with a UFC event on the South Lawn of the White House. I cannot believe these are words that I just typed. I thought the film Idiocracy was supposed to be a satirical social commentary. This birthday celebration perfectly encapsulates the American empire's downward trajectory. For my celebration,

Should anybody really be shocked? By: Austin Abbring June 12, 2026 What’s that? Is that the distant rumblings of a social insurance program that has not been slashed into little tiny bits? You mean to tell me we missed gutting a safety net that protects the American working class? This is what I believe Speaker Mike Johnson meant to say after he was caught on a radio show where he did not mince words on Republicans’ future plans for Social Security, Medicaid, and Medicare. H

A truly embarrassing display for the president By: Austin Abbring June 9, 2026 Credit: NBC news, Full interview: Trump says Iran ‘is not an endless war’ as conflict reaches 100 days After being challenged to provide evidence for fraudulent voting claims in the California gubernatorial and mayoral races as well as in the 2020 election, Donald Trump left his “Meet the Press” pre-tape interview in outrage. I have to commend Kristen Welker here for not backing down while Preside
