"Period of stagnation"

Is the ending as bad as in the last animated version -- where the "good" capitalist family comes and takes over the farm and the animals are all happy to go back to being human property?

Because Orwell would have vomited at that one.

Pretty clear postive correlation between Donnie's mental deterioration and the length of his Lies Asocial rants.

Appealing to the "center left" and "center right" with animal videos, human interest features that People Magazine would find too silly, neocon foreign policy takes, and warmed over Faux News MAGA slop.

Oh yeah, that'll work.

Now we know who Patel's next target will be.

They paused Oversight Committee hearings the minute we started getting answers about the Epstein files.

Now it’s “roundtables”: no rules, no oaths, no subpoenas.

You do the math. Because the moment accountability shows up, they shut it down. The survivors deserve better.

"Next up on Fox Business: Ignorance is Strength!"

Seems appropriate that it's also Earth Day, given how much time these little guys spend with their noses to the ground.

Hopefully it will be funnier than that trailer.

Not really. He just does a lot of it.
