@1 - yeah, I know. Kind of heartbreaking what's happening to music when you think of the great American music quilt. Is Britney Spears the best they can come up with? Still 18 in the head, still rattling those knockers with two nearly grown children. Yeah, you say Madonna, but Later Madonna wasn't a girlie show. Also, why are they calling "Tiny Dancer," "Hold Me Closer?" Is it easier to remember or say or does no one understand allegory anymore?

I know she's your favorite bitch, Hannah, but----I'm SO over Britney, regardless of whom she sings duets with. Next topic, please.

Since the evidence gathered by the FBI and the White House Investigation Committee is so GLARINGLY not looking good for the Orange Turd and its loyalists, I have an idea. Why lock up the OH SO GUILTY!!! Orange Turd at the taxpayers' expense? Instead, let's wrap it up in an elephant shit-stained Goodyear blimp, fire it off one way into outer space in Jeff Bezos' overpriced dildo, and make the 1%ers pay for the blastoff--at gunpoint by firing squad if necessary (hey--MAGAts LOOOOOOOVE their guns--let's call them on it!). That really should spell the end of the GOP. They're nothing anymore without Der Gropenfuhrer.

Semi-fascism. I hope it's not another "deplorables" fiasco. Prior to Biden's remarks, fascism has always seemed as an "is or is not" designation. Nobody ever talked about "fascism lite". I hope the White House thought this contorted messaging through. Probably not.

It's also regrettable when when the president loses his passion for unity, as even Biden expressed in his inaugural address.

@4: Try not to fall in when you flush, Elmer. Puget Sound has more than its fair share of toxic waste.

It's more regrettable when there are fascists in America.

Beyoncé, Taylor Swift, Britney Spears, the Stranger knows all the good new music!

"That one sad TikTok sound that went mega-viral (you know the one)..."

I actually don't. Not everyone spends time on TikTok.

The Britney Spears song is catchy and entertaining. "Ein Volk. Ein Trump. Ein Reich." is the MAGA slogan for the ages. Auntie Grizelda is still crazy. Raindrop should know that even though "Fascism Lite" only has 60 calories, it is still toxic.

@13: That's the point. It's like saying one is a semi-racist, or a semi-bigot. Trump is a fascist. Nothing "semi" about it.

Stay tuned for all the memes having fun at Biden's expense using the "semi" modifier.

Messaging on things this important should be clear from the White House. This is just playing around.

Essentially, Biden is putting the term on the road to sanitization by applying nuancing it.

Possibility of Obstruction
Looms Over Trump,
Affidavit Suggests

Unredacted portions of the affidavit point to possible evidence of efforts to obstruct the recovery of documents from former President Trump’s home.

By some measures, the crime of obstruction is a threat to Mr. Trump or his associates that could be more serious than disputes over classified information.

Once Outraged by

In the minutes and hours after the F.B.I.’s search of former President Donald J. Trump’s residence in Florida this month, his supporters did not hesitate to denounce what they saw as a blatant abuse of power and outrageous politicization of the Justice Department.

But with the release of a redacted affidavit detailing the justification for the search, the former president’s allies were largely silent, a potentially telling reaction with ramifications for his political future.

@14 Fair enough.

@19 Only the ones from Normandy.

@13 Well, compared to third-world countries where poltical dissenters are jailed, tortured and/or killed, we’re still kinda in the semi-fascism stage, but the GOP is certainly trying to get better at it! Ron DeSantis’ big show of jailing 20 felons who voted in 2020 (even though FL officials told them they were elgible to vote) is a small step forward in the fascism race, but this is the same guy who bullied kids for wearing masks. He may not be a full-blown fascist yet, but he certainly is an unapologetic dick!

omg what a
Challenging quandry:

@20: oooooooooh - groan - good one!

The irony of Slog Posters who spent the last decade defending the GOP from the slightest accusations of authoritarian and fascist behavior now in here complaining liberals are not using the term fascist accurately enough. Precious.

I thought Der Gropenfuhrer was what they called Arnold Schwartzenegger?

@24/25: You guys are so right. I shouldn't be so judgmental. A scale is warranted. As liberals we should accommodate for the benefit of the doubt and equivocation. Given that Trump supports Herschel Walker for Senate and can point to several black celebrities who sing his praises, he can at the most be only a semi-racist.

Also, given that Trump is more of a narcissist and has no interest in how government actually works, he could never be an effective fascist leader, and is really just a semi-fascist.

Given that, I don't see fascism as a justifiable reason to preclude him from enjoying another term as our president.

@10: Nice try. I'm not into phishing, Elmer. If you and your ilk weren't so fucking MAGA stupid, you'd get it.

@13: Be careful on whom you label as crazy, Swifty, before your favorite NRA bros mistake you and your avatar for target practice. Ooooooohhhh--did I SCARE you and your ilk, little MAGAt? You're the one who's professed to be armed and dangerous on a rifle range, not I. For someone who got all bent up out of shape just because elected Seattle City Council member Kshama Sawant retained her seat---despite a bogus "special recall election", you sure do blow up easily. Was your tree fort insured? You know, you really shouldn't hang out with Elmer, Swifty. He just makes you look even dumber than you already are.
Meanwhile, it looks like the FBI has solid dirt on the Orange Turd to make a conviction on a heartless twice-impeached narcissistic dictator-wannabe, who illegally occupied the White House four years too long with help from Russian hackers and RepubliKKKan co-conspirators. Suck it and choke.

@16 kristofarian: Indeed. I'm getting the white cheddar popcorn, red wine, and dark chocolate ready.
I think it would be quite entertaining to see the Orange Turd explode one last time on worldwide TeeVee. May its shit hit its most devout MAGA fans, and this finally spell the end of the GOP.

@26 dvs99: I think COMTE might have used it to describe the Orange Turd (a.k.a., Donald Trump). I've never heard of Der Gropenfuhrer used as a description for Arnold Schwartzenegger. Unless maybe when he was the Governator of California.

@27: Brush up on your reading level, Elmer, and See comment @5.

Whoo---EEEEEEE!! The usual MAGA trolls sure are getting desperate. What'll they do when Der Gropenfuhrer is eternally cornholed in Hell?

@25 RogertheShrubber: I noticed that, too. What'll all the Proud Boy MAGAts DO without their pathetically worshipped Orange Turd to willfully mislead them into life prison terms after a failed coup attempt?

Ahhhhhh! Listen folks: crickets! What a pleasant sound on an early Sunday afternoon.....

@31: Evening.

Go, Senator Patty Murray, GO!!! Kick serious butt a 6th term. Bless you for being able to stomach RepubliKKKans and their endless bullshit.
Don't be fooled, voters. Tiffany Smiley is no senator. She's a typically cheap Trump MAGA ho who has no interest in actually representing the people of Washington State, our issues, or needs. She has been deliberately planted in the Washington senatorial race by Mitch McConnell and his neofascist sock puppets to turn Washington blood red pro-Trumpist. Smiley's name alone makes her sound like the ditzy hostess of a bad game show.

speaking of the
Coming Red Wave:

Republicans
Signal Worries About
Trump and the Midterms

Those worries were on display on Sunday morning as few Republicans appeared on the major Washington-focused news shows to defend Mr. Trump two days after a redacted version of the affidavit used to justify the F.B.I. search of his Mar-a-Lago estate revealed that he had retained highly classified material related to the use of “clandestine human sources” in intelligence gathering.

And those who did appear indicated that they would rather be talking about almost anything else.

@34 kristofarian: I quote Gentleman Gene Wilder (as Roald Dahl's world famous candyman, Willy Wonka, 1971):
"The suspense is terrible. I hope it will last."

Bring on the popcorn, red wine, and dark chocolate, baybee, methinks it's gonna get even Wilder.

The Orange Turd's famous last words, as it goes down the garbage chute and Mar-a-Lunatic sinks into the Atlantic Ocean: "I want it NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOooooooooooowwwwwwwwwwwww!" (HONK HONK!)

It's the wine

@36: Ah, so THAT'S it! I noticed that you, Swifty, District13, and fellow MAGAts are a wee bit quiet lately, Elmer.
Did you pass out from the shock of the FBI's legal findings on the Orange Turd? Willful dictatorial criminal actions and committing high treason have consequences.
Seriously--try not to fall in when you flush.

No matter what happens to the Orange Turd and its loyalists, it's gonna be one helluva GOP-induced shit show.

@37: No, referring to the gas station Merlot where you picked up the rest of your dinner: popcorn and chocolate.

@39: You must be seriously constipated if you really think I'd drink cheap Merlot from a gas station, Elmer.

Nice try.

As usual, RepubliKKKans have it wrong again. This time Deep Southern-fried fatass Senator Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) spat up his pork fat & high fructose saturated iced tea over the FBI White House Investigation turning up incriminating evidence against the Orange Turd, claiming that if the Orange Turd actually get convicted there will be "rioting in the streets". NO, dumbass, there will be elated worldwide celebration, especially if any footage of the Orange Turd getting cornholed in federal prison goes viral. Orange is the new BLECCHH! Film at 11!
"Rioting in the streets" would happen if the Orange Turd gets off scot-free, despite all the glaring evidence against it. Anyone else would be serving a life prison sentence without hope for parole or see the light of day again. NOBODY is above the law!! The very idea that Dumbass Southern-Fried RWNJs actually WANT a second Civil War is beyond batshit crazy.
