Zappa Returns

My guitar might’ve wanted to kill your mama but the Christo-Fascists want to kill all your freedoms. I’ve come back from the dead to stop them.

[Zappa Returns @ZappaReturns]

I was probably already sick when I appeared on this show. Just 7 years later, I’d be dead. But I wasn’t gonna let these fascist shitheads have the last word.

[Chris Tackett (aka See It Name It Fight It) @cjtackett]

This is Frank Zappa on Crossfire in 1986. What he said then was true. It’s still true.

Look at what we face today. It’s coming from the same source, attempting to do the same thing with our books, schools, and people they don’t like. And their vehicle is the government.

[Zappa Returns @ZappaReturns]

Third time lucky.

[Joyce Alene @JoyceWhiteVance]

Trump commits what would have been impeachable offenses for any other president with regularity. By avoiding conviction twice in his first term, he’s created a myth it’s pointless to attempt it again.

[Zappa Returns @ZappaReturns]

Normally, I’d say this was just the usual fascist thing where they say one thing one day and the opposite the next and use it as a loyalty test. But I’m starting to think it’s just Donny Demento not having enough brain cells left to remember all his lies and keep ‘em straight.

Trump to NBC: “First of all, I didn’t guarantee no war.” And: “So when you say I promised – I didn’t promise anything. I don’t like these endless wars. This is not an endless war.”

Reality: Trump promised in two of his highest-profile 2024 addresses not to have any wars at all, and he also made that promise in a bunch of other forums. Some examples:

June 2024 social media post: The election is “a choice between STRENGTH or WEAKNESS, COMPETENCE or INCOMPETENCE, peace and prosperity or war and no war.”

July 2024 Republican National Convention acceptance address: “With our victory in November, the years of war, weakness, and chaos will be over. I don’t have wars.”

August 2024 Pennsylvania rally: “Under Trump, we will have no more wars, no more disruptions, and we will have prosperity and peace for all.”

August 2024 North Carolina rally: Approvingly claimed Viktor Orban had said, “Make sure that Trump gets re-elected president and you're not going to have any more wars,” then added himself, “No more wars. No more disruptions. We will have prosperity and we will have peace.”

August 2024 Adin Ross interview: Boasted that he had no wars during his first term, then said, “And we won't have wars again.”

October 2024 Wisconsin rally: Did one of his numerous renditions of the Orban story: “Viktor Orban said, ‘If Trump comes back, you won't have any wars. You won't have any wars.’ And he's about as tough as they get, and he said it loud and clear and he said why. But you won't have any wars.”

November 2024 Election Night victory address: “I'm not going to start a war, I'm going to stop wars.”

That is in addition to the many times he struck similar themes without the explicit promise of having no wars period if elected again – for example, vowing to stop “endless” wars or prevent “World War III,” denouncing “warmongers,” boasting of having had “no wars” in his first term, or saying we don’t “need” wars.

the face of a person who is never challenged, his world-view never questioned, literally never hears a syllable of opposition unless a journalist, usually a woman, questions him, & then he is astonished & infuriated.

[Zappa Returns @ZappaReturns]

Gunther is hallucinating again.

[Gunther Eagleman™ @GuntherEagleman]

History has a feeling before it has a headline.

You can feel it in the air.

A nation rediscovering its strength.

A people rediscovering their confidence.

An America that refuses to settle for decline.

The next chapter is being written right now!

Anthony Scaramucci: “My name is President Hillary Clinton. I’ve blown up the country by getting into a forever war, I campaigned on affordability and jacked the prices to the moon, but I’m focused on interior decorating and remaking the ballroom. I want to ask you, what do you think Fox News would be doing?”

Don Lemon: “Excoriating, they’d be running her out of DC, they would want to impeach her, they would say she’s inept and why is she focusing on such frivolous things”

[Zappa Returns @ZappaReturns]

Anyone who knows my work will remember I called TV the “tool of the government and industry too.” Well, the MAzis want to dumb it down even further to a pipeline from Donny Demento’s ass to your living room.

[Niall Stanage @NiallStanage]

This is a devastating interview.

Scott Pelley tells the NYT that Bari Weiss directly put a “thumb on the scale” for Trump over the killing of Renee Good.

Here’s his explanation of exactly what happened.

[Zappa Returns @ZappaReturns]

Julius Sleazer is the only politician I’ve ever seen who routinely gets caught in 2 lies simultaneously:
1. Black employment is higher than it’s ever been.
It isn’t.
2. He has no idea “where in hell” he got this stat.
He made it up.

[Zappa Returns @ZappaReturns]

“White cultural power”? You’re getting closer but you’re not there yet. Try white supremacy, racism, bigotry and hate.

[Zappa Returns @ZappaReturns]

I’m sure there’s some welfare fraud but it’s minuscule compared to the financial swindle perpetrated by Christian Nationalist preachers. What we need to do to get this country out of debt — but of course, these guys will never do it — is this:

A strong person responds to a challenge by accepting it with grace and overcoming it.
A weak person responds by attacking the questioner and shrinking from the challenge.
AmeriKKKa, the man you elected president is a weak person.

Not only should NBC have Kristen Welker teach a course in interview technique, the company should build a shrine in her honor.

[Zappa Returns @ZappaReturns]

Benny, someone participating in this interview humiliated themselves, but it certainly wasn’t Welker. Your Dear Fuhrer is a weak, foolish, mentally disordered man who’s unfit to be president of a condo board, let alone the “leader of the free world.”

🚨Trump Goes SCORCHED EARTH on California’s Elections, then WALKS OFF Interview Leaving Kristen Welker HUMILIATED

“It was a dirty election and it’s happening again in California… Do you think it's appropriate that they have an election and five days later they're nowhere close to picking a winner!? They're crooked — just like you're crooked.”

“I’ve given you enough time”

*Walks off*

Welker: “We travelled all the way to Wisconsin for this interview”

*Blames the rain*

Raise your hand if you think Kristen Welker should be FIRED from NBC for being a Fake News Reporter

[USA NEWS 🇺🇸 @usanewshq]

President Trump is a good man! Few will notice, but watch what he does with his hand.

Even after she was nasty to him for over an hour and he was forced to walk out by dishonest questions and a rainstorm.…

He still put his hand on her shoulder to console her!

A pure heart :)

[Zappa Returns @ZappaReturns]

@DawnsMission @ScottConer Ok, Dawn. Lay out all the evidence for us like we’re 3rd graders.

[17 Anon @17Anonn]

🚨 Stephen Miller says the scale of welfare fraud is SO MASSIVE that eliminating it alone could balance the ENTIRE federal budget

"The amount that has been fleeced from us is in the HUNDREDS OF BILLIONS of dollars."

"We could balance the federal budget if the only dollars that went out of the treasury went to individuals who were properly, lawfully, correctly eligible to receive them."

This should infuriate EVERY taxpayer.

[FireFighterDev @fire_starter457]

The Christianity being put on display by Erika Kirk, Franklin Graham, William Wolfe, etc., is not the Christianity of Jesus.

It’s White cultural power dressed up as faith.

Don’t let them fool you.

[Daniel Dale @ddale8]

President Trump said he has no idea “where the hell” he got his “stat” that Black unemployment is doing better than ever before. That’s probably because the “stat” is fake. The Black unemployment rate is higher now than it was when Trump returned to office…in fact, higher than it was in each of the last 34 months of Biden’s term. https://t.co/r3BentdjF3
