I just watched the John Oliver segment. It was great. One note I do wish that he had pointed out how hypocritical it was that such a prominently anti-DEI opinion writer admitted in one of the first clips they showed that she herself was hired for diversity at her NYT job. Hmmm
That was pretty damn striking. A point that watchers that appreciate the intelligence of Oliver would probably pick up on, but completely go by or not matter to Maga. Hypocrisy does not matter to them, only what THEY WANT messaged.
That's the thing about NOT being in a cult, recognizing, for whatever reasons, bad ideas are sometimes held by people of every demographic. Thank goodness, by the same token, there are white men, like JL, with "good" ideas that I agree with! 😅
Madagascar Military Seizes Power, Then Nation Explodes in Joy
The change in power came after Parliament voted to impeach President Andry Rajoelina, who faced mounting pressure after weeks of Gen Z protests.
Members of Parliament dismissed the move to dissolve the body as unconstitutional because it had been posted by the president on social media and was not formally signed or stamped.
This is Madagascar first ever impeachment since it became a sovereign nation from France in 1960
Do you know any of Madagaskar's history or read either link? They have had several coups, including the one in 2009 that led to Rajoelina gaining power. He fled in a French plane. It is not all done and dusted yet.
"The HHS layoffs were ordered Friday apparently to pressure Democrats into approving Republican spending levels … by weakening America’s defenses against bioterrorism."
I guess the RINOs have been losing even more touch with Americans who don't identify as MAGA cultists. (Personally, I avoid touching the cultists even with a ten foot pole; Petr Koslowski -- a ten foot Pole -- said he wouldn't touch them either.) IMO, the firings will solidly backfire like so many other of their bovine scat-filled actions. It won't pressure the Dems to concede the high ground on extending Obamacare subsidies and return Medicaid to pre-budget slashing -- this is, after all, what caused the shutdown in the first place. What it will do is add more voices calling for the MAGAdroids ouster (wishcasting?).
Furthermore, two assholes serving in the Fulvous Fuckwad's cabinet (along with several Congressional RINOs) have decided that the Dems' actions are directly attributable to No Kings Day:
> "Two of President Donald Trump’s [sic] Cabinet secretaries said Democrats are keeping the government closed for the sake of "No Kings" mass protests scheduled for Saturday, Oct. 18.
Dachau Duffy has gone so far as to imply that the people taking part in No Kings Day events will be filled with astroturf protesters and paid Antifa provocateurs:
> "Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy told Fox he expected millions of attendees will be part of "antifa [sic], paid protesters. It begs the question (of) who's funding it."" ibid
Weren't the Israelites fleeing the Egyptians 3000 or so years ago? Led by Moses Mike's ancestor Moses Mike the First who famously parted an actual sea, not a sea of lies. Ergo, there was no Israel as we know it... yet.
Mostly just playin’, my friend. I sure as HELL don’t know a great deal! Inasmuch as we’re living through a scarier national Tammany Hall, I think it should be required historical reading!
You know damn skippy that DFW and Love Field are running Sec. Puppy Killer Fat Lips whine-fest video.
Thank you for alerting us to John Oliver's take on bari weiss. I could've gone my whole life without knowing what a puffy, hot airbag she is, and I would've gone on my happy ass way. JO is right to expose what a shallow, vapid human she and her 'journos' are. And you were right to alert us to it. These are some thirsty people. I am disgusted at her using the suffering of thousands upon thousands of Gazans and their children to bend a story her way. So, the short clips of Gazans rushing the aid trucks with their bowls, as is shown on NBC Nightly News - they're all suffering from pre-existing conditions?
her very self-important takes on her reporting style, the use of the term nucleation point (what does that even mean?), her self righteousness of her resignation letter heard 'round the world (I never heard about it, nor would I care). All this said in a "I'm done talking to you - go get me the manager!" tone of voice.
GTFOH bari - you're just another grifter in a long line of grifters hanging on to the tail of an oligarch. You'll say anything for that sweet, sweet dollar.

The recent John Oliver on TFP is absolutely worth watching as you point out. When I started reading TFP based on recommendations from friends, something just didn't feel right. One article in particular on funding for 'liberal causes' during the Biden years garnered the most 'this is a horrible waste' type of comment with no analysis or reason. Just crap for the most part.
When I pointed out that 'approved by congress' happens no matter who controls the show and that MacKenzie Scott also contributed millions to one of the causes after reasonable due diligence by her organization, my comment was flushed down the drain by more 'horrible waste of money' comments. I think I got one 'like' for my 'reasonableness'.
As Oliver points out TFP is an opinion site where voices can post their words with little to no research or objectivity. That TFP publishes a variety of opinions along the political spectrum, I suspect a majority are 'anti-woke' grievance-based hit pieces with a few exceptions from authors who can back up their statements (like Niall F, Sam H, Douglas M).
I may not always agree with your positions but it is great to get a laugh in while reading your words backed up by research and links to source material. Cheers.
Thanks for the John Oliver link.

Thank you Jonathan! I am, as ever, proud to be a newsfucker. E pluribus fuckem!

What is your point? The Madagascans ended their trump like dictator today.
Do you know any of Madagaskar's history or read either link? They have had several coups, including the one in 2009 that led to Rajoelina gaining power. He fled in a French plane. It is not all done and dusted yet.
He didn’t wear condoms often enough, however. 🤪

The comments, made on the same Fox Business show on Oct. 13, echo those of congressional Republicans who have blamed the now two-week-long shutdown on Democrats, saying they wanted to keep the government closed until after the protests in hopes they can show party activists they are pushing back on the Trump [sic] administration." https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/2025/10/14/republicans-blame-no-kings-protests-shutdown/86679080007/

Y’know I started to look up what was happening 3,000 years ago and then stopped.
*Most of America’s tanks and fighter jets are made of oak and balsa.*
Heh!
If Trump and Kegbreath keeps this up, they will be.
Damn, you’ve got a point there! SMH
*Historically corrupt New York City political bosses.*
Pls give your dedicated Newsfuckers a li’l credit, sir.
Lotsa credit for being smart…but that doesn’t mean knowing every reference! I sure don’t…
Mostly just playin’, my friend. I sure as HELL don’t know a great deal! Inasmuch as we’re living through a scarier national Tammany Hall, I think it should be required historical reading!
*If you have polite questions about any of this for your representatives in Congress, you can find them here.*
And if you have impolite questions, same link…

Sorry for the rant. Good reporting Jonathan.
Don’t be sorry—it was a great rant!
*because Trump remembered that epidemic intelligence can come in handy.*
Did he, though??
I SIMPLY CANNOT ACCEPT OR BELIEVE WHAT IM READING. MY GOD.
WHAT A PATHETIC NATION. FUCK TOU AMERICA AND EVERY ASSHOLE IN THE FUCKING VILE NATION.
