POPULARITY
Dear Paul Krugman,You used to be the kind of journalist I thought was telling the truth. I looked up to you, as I did so many writers at the New York Times. I was a different person then. That was before everything changed. The year was 2020, a summer of riots and a breakthrough moment when many of us realized for the first time that the Gray Lady was not telling us the truth.I have been on the internet for 30 years. I watched the collapse of traditional media and the rise of opinion-based journalism, the kind you do, Paul. Do you mind if I call you Paul? Mr. Krugman sounds so formal, and really, I'd like for you to see me as a human being, someone worthy of your attention and respect.Now that I have confirmation of what I've assumed all along, that people like you, Kara Swisher, Peter Baker, and Susan Glasser would like people like me thrown into re-education camps or gulags, I feel it's worth the extra effort to get you to see real people again.To the horror of many, you went viral last week for your comments on what all of you will do with Trump supporters and the system that elected him. It was ugly, Paul. As ugly as anything I've seen written by a high-minded journalist and certainly closer to what the Nazis believed about the Jews than anything I've seen in my lifetime:“Purging of the United States, we need a de-MAGAfication. I'm not going over the top by using a word that's very similar to the de-Nazification that we pursued successfully after World War Two in Germany. It's not just the MAGA ideology, but the whole structure of hugely unequal power, hugely unequal wealth that made this horrific moment possible. It's not going to be easy, but, and maybe it's not going to be doable, but we have to try, because this is an absolute, this is a nightmare, this is the nightmare beyond, I think, even the worst fantasies of progressives, beyond the worst fantasies of conservatives, who still have a conscience, there still are plenty of those, but they're no longer MAGA. This has to be turned around, and we should not, above all, whitewash or forget this moment. This is where a lot of forces in America have been leading, and if we don't do something beyond just getting rid of Trump, it's going to happen again.”It can't have been easy, watching Trump win a second time and this time the popular vote, or to admit you are no longer relevant and that the only value you have is in giving the base of the Democratic Party their daily dose of hate and fear. Why didn't Americans listen to your constant bleating about the end of the world? That's an important question to ask, Paul.After all, they're your most popular videos.Your Substack, with over 500K subscribers, is no less alarmist:It looks like your Substack is paying you more than you made at the Times, that's for sure. So why not keep pumping it out, day after day, like a broken record — fear, hysteria, hatred, more fear, more hatred. What could possibly go wrong? You all seem certain you're about to take back power and put things back where they belong. The only question you seem to have on your lips is not how we can better address the needs of the people, but what you will do with all of those MAGAts.You don't even pretend there is a whole country or even half of a country that voted all of you out, not once but twice. You have no shame in admitting you see yourselves as better than the working-class half of America. You fully admit it. You bask in it. You know your power, Paul, and that's maybe the only true thing you know about yourself.So let me set you straight on a few things. You are not the Allied Forces after World War II, and Trump is not now, nor has he ever been, Hitler. The closest thing to Fascism this country has ever seen is with all of you in power. It became “all sticks of wood bound together as one,” a “fasci,” with all elements of our society mandating conformity or else. Your side ruled through fear and violence, and still does. You violently beat Trump supporters and feel emboldened to do so, just like Hitler's Brown Shirts. You probably never even knew that in 2015, Trump supporters were beaten and harassed and called Nazis. On the Left, there is no such thing as free thought and speech, which is why cancel culture collapsed the empire and why Tyler Robinson had to silence Charlie Kirk. So who are the real fascists, Paul? On your side, thought and speech are heavily policed throughout our culture. Everyone is tracked, monitored, and under constant surveillance lest they like the wrong tweet, follow the wrong person on social media, or read the wrong news outlet. Just because people like you cosplay that ICE is the Gestapo doesn't make it so. It took 80 years for the world to forget about the Holocaust. But no one should ever forget what that looked like, and it wasn't mass deportations or even detaining a five-year-old or shooting Alex Pretti and Renee Good. Shame on you. Shame on all of you for even suggesting that what we've just lived through is on any level the same as what happened during World War II. 70-80 million people were killed. 600,000 in America alone. Even the war in Gaza can't compare, and shame on anyone who suggests it's the same. None of this should have to be said to a man who enjoys high status inside utopia, a well-educated elite who lives on the Upper West Side and enjoys a decent retirement while he's discarding half of America like human garbage. You tell me who the real Nazis are.You don't have to tell me. I already know. I escaped the suffocating dystopia that you live in. I escaped the world that no longer knows the meaning of important words like fascist, Nazi, dictator, king, and pedophile, never mind man or woman. I escaped that world because the truth always mattered to me more than being liked, making money, or having status.I can't say the same for you, Paul, or any one of your former colleagues at the Times. We're watching the destruction of legacy media in real time, just one of the pillars of your now collapsing empire. Trump won because ordinary Americans can't stand living under the oppressive thumb of the high and mighty, like yourself.I didn't see what kind of power we all had until 2020. We had built a Shining Woketopia on the Internet that gave us complete control of all institutions of power - educational, cultural, corporations, and institutions. We thought we could shape the America we dreamed of. The problem was that there was a whole other America outside our bubble, and it took Donald Trump to ignite a populist revolt. The idea that this was about racism and bigotry was a lie. It was never Hitler invading. You were never the resistance. You've been living in a dream world of your own making. You destroyed yourselves trying to destroy Trump. The real story of the last ten years will never be told by any of you, much less seen or understood.I still see signs of the MAGA I know. I just saw one near the memorial site for the deadly battle of Antietam. From the middle of America, on the side of a store just living out their ordinary days near the ghosts of profound history, this:I am no longer welcome in your world, Paul. Some days, that hurts more than others. But when I see what you have become, calling for a “purge” and “de-MAGAfication, I know you don't know this country anymore. You've been isolated for too long, and you've been participating in a decade-long deception.I also know I have the truth on my side, and that makes me the lucky one.// This is a public episode.

James Talarico has literally reduced the MAGATS to sniveling, snot-nosed schoolyard pissants. Angry Texas Republicans are ready to burn it all down to punish their leadership. Nitwit Nero is in the middle of a losing streak.
Fornicatin' Ken Paxton's gonna have his hands full with James Talarico. Mayonnaise-mouth Miller gets burnt to ash after attacking the Texas Democrat. Nitwit Nero cost the MAGATS millions in campaign funds with his Paxton endorsement. Israeli fascists pursue genocide in Lebanon, declare they won't "allow" a peace between the U.S. and Iran.
When J6ers merge with "Cops." Hilarity ensues. "Filmed Live On Location In Clarksville, Tennessee." OTOH, that J6 domestic terrorist has raised $100,000+ Hey, MAGATS! DON'T take the last train to Clarksville. We've never been here before: all but a day of an entire month unfunded. PLEASE?!
MAGATS mad at music,
A gentle reminder: this ginormous shitstorm is less than four months old. Hold fast, Horndanistx! We're losing a wat we should never have started and these goons are ignoring a disease that kills 40% of the people who get it. The "Thank god for Ivermectin" posts are already proliferating. The MAGATS are playing Calvin Ball all over the Confederacy, proving that the Union really didn't burn enough sense into 'em. Heads-Up: As I predicted, the y next talking point is "why Dems gerrymander Vermont?" No. Really, They're that damned dumb.
In the wake of JesusGate, MAGATS begin to question whether they've elevated the Antichrist. Twenty MAGATS tell Julius Geezer to pound sand in FISA vote. More from RFK's really bad, awful, no-good day. PsychoBibi thumbs his nose at Cankles Caligula and takes the starch out Nitwit Nero's "deal' with Iran. Sen. Tammy Duckworth hammers President Bonespurs in a truly epic jeremiad from the well of the Senate.
The blockade ain't blockading. Butthurt confederates. Jimmie Dic Bowman chastises the Vicar of Christ while actual Catholic MAGATS. Pink Shrek is shocked, shocked, I tell you, that his Orange Daddy is a blasphemous grifter. DoorDash Grandma's story doesn't add up. MAGATS in disarray in NY and Wisconsin. Ron Johnson from Visconsin (he vorks in de lumbermill der) says old men need to leave young women alone, even as Cankles Caligula creepers on a young woman on his tacky golf course.
Nitwit Nero doubles down on his threats of genocide (then backs down). The world shudders. The feckless MAGATS in the Congress utter nary a peep.
Nitwit Nero turns Easter into a nightmare. Criminally insane press conference on Monday is so sick it defies description. Guess who's talking nuclear war against Iran? Even the weirdest of the weirdo MAGATS are getting the willies.
Tarabuster Tuesdays with Tara Devlin. April 2, 2026
Y'know what? When the MAGATS and Centrists agree that bad things are gonna happen in the Persian Gulf, look for a soft place to land. Things are totally sideways among the MAGATS.
Tarabuster Tuesdays with Tara Devlin. Originally recorded on the Political Voices Network, March 24, 2026
Who's next? Apparently Cuba, that's who. Forever Wars, here we come! So sayeth the Mental Defective-In-Chief. He and his buddy PscychoBibi appear to have the beginnings of WW III on their agenda. Gosh! Remember when Nitwit Nero said Kamala was the WW III lady? Oops! MAGATS begin to turn on Krusti the Nasty Nazi Noem. More allegations of the monstrosity of Pedophilus Maximus. It's a struggle from month to month to stay on the air. Always has been, but it seems to be getting more difficult. We're through the first week of March and entirely unfunded. We still haven't finished February. The H.O.R.N. relies on the generosity of those who know how important indepedent media are. Can you please help?
Tarabuster Tuesdays with Tara Devlin. Originally recorded live on the @PoliticalVoicesNetwork Feb 17, 2026
Nothing brings MAGATS out of the woodwork like the passing of a civil rights icon. Behold: li'l Benny Johnson, who thinks equality is commie and "full r-word" (only he actually uses the word).
Today we talk about people's interesting, yet predictable, reactions to the Super Bowl Halftime show. Also one such person had an interaction with SPJ that lea to both he and Krissy getting blocked. Enjoy!
Jack Smith brings the receipts to the House. It doesn't work out well for the MAGATS. Howard Nutlick couldn't give a straight answer in Davos. West Virginia's brain-drained legislature wants to let cops create a list of disabled people.
The Murderous MAGATs are trying to brazen their way through their rampage in Minnesota. They can't even pick a lie and stick to it. Republicons buck Mullah Moses Mike and vote to extend the ACA subsidies. The murderer has been identified and the MAGATS are trying to keep him from facing justice.
Nitwit Nero's primetime manic blather falls flat. MAGATs in Congress panic. Anything to distract from the Epstein Files. More photos released today. Disgusting is too mild a word. Oh, goody! Here come the real-life Hunger Games.
The MAGATS are killers, Monsters. Starvers. Killers. Authors of disaster.
At some point, these MAGATS will run up the Jolly Roger and just come out as the pirates they are. An oil tanker? Yep. House passes NDAA that compels Whiskey Pete to release the unedited video of the war crime he helped commit. Jared Kushner funds an attempt to further turn American journalism into North Korea. What happens when the Prison-Industrial Complex goes hand-in-hand with the Eco-tourism industry?
The MAGATS have published their manifesto for a "white" "West." It's just a bloodtrail to a fascist wonderland. Poor Ukraine. MAGATS have courage enough (the tidal kind, it comes and goes) to commit piracy on the High Seas, but not anywhere near enough to defend a people beset by rabid Russian wolves. Here at home? Whalehead Deadbear Brainworm-Lamprey and his bone-in-the-nose "advisers" have decided Hepatitis B is cool for kids. And we're not even a year in . . . at this point, I'll not be surprised if Cankles Caligula gives the A-OK to Israel to Hellfire the Church Of the Nativity. Wanna support independent progressive hillbilly broadcasting? Here's how!
It's almost as though members of Congress saw two different videos of the September 2 murders today. Democrats saw a horrifying slaughter, but MAGATS like bobble-throated goon Tom Cotton saw a patriotic display of homicidal masculinity. Guess which one was the real thing. Breathless announcement from the dirtiest DoJ in American history that they've found the Capitol Hill pipe bomber. SCOTUS MAGATS love them some racial gerrymandering. Justice Kagan takes 'em to school.
Dear God, they were right. The Epstein files really ARE much worse than the MAGATS dared fear. And it's funny and disgusting, made the moreso by your 'umble 'ostess's radio portrayal of that magic moment.
Tara Dublin again guest hosts for John. She talks about Congress remaining locked in shutdown hell after Republicans in the Senate rejected Democrats' offers. Also, the Trump administration followed a court order and fully funded SNAP benefits to dozens of states but has not given up its legal fight to deny those funds moving forward. Then, she chats with Malcolm W. Nance about the shutdown and other carnage from Trump and his MAGAts. And, she interviews Oregon Rep. Suzanne Bonamici about the situation in Portland.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
Nitwit Nero cans the panel that advises on monuments in DC. Because of course. MAGAT scum goes before the Court and gets a reading of the Riot Act: Rope-->Self-->Hang. MAGATS prove that Mark Twain will always be relevant. MAGAT NJ Congresscreep thumbs his nose at Mullah Moses Mike, not that he's paying attention, nudge-nudge, wink-wink. WV's pill-rolling governor asks already hungry West Virginians to contribute to his food bank scam. We're in the deepest funding hole ever, and I more than understand. If you can help, though, this is the time: https://HeadOn.Live
She has a Wh0Le keYBOarD now. heaven help us all. Sometimes, I feel like this (and every other progressive broadcast) should re-name ourselves "The (insert name here) Anti-Fascism Report. It's where we are. P.S. ICE trash are assaulting journalists. Hey, MAGATS! Is it fascism yet?
Connectivity issues. I hope it didn't come through in the podcast. MAGATS are sooooo easily triggered. Secretary Goat-killer gets turned away from the Broadville, IL P.D. Good for them. Nitwit Nero murders again.
The MAGATS' homicidal spasm continues to grow. Clueless and sunk deep in their cult, they can't even consider the obvious: that it was a hit and the people with the strongest motives weren't "librulz." It was a hit. I'm entirely convinced. Remember: only ONE man in America is immune to prosecution in ordering a murder.
Newsome signs bill into law to redistrict MAGATS right out o' CA. Hairless Heydrich ("Mayonnaise BatBoy) declares Whalehead Deadbear Brainworm-Lamprey the "crown jewel" o' public health. Circuit Court shoots down Cankles Caligula's trade power grab. Mullah Moses Mike has no answer about the crime spree that is Louisianastan. Ice Kidnappers batter immigrant children while kidnapping their papa. Y'all, August has been a rough month, but we have a chance to close it on a happy note. There's $600 in matching money on the table through August's end (Sunday night, 8/31). Every dollar that you generously give gets matched, up to $600. It would end the month with a sure enough Community Made Murrackle.
TRIGGER WARNING! The American Disease strikes Minneapolis . . . and the MAGATS are going to weaponize the living beejeezuss out o' this. As ever, something wicked this way comes.
DNC Chair wants Democrats to fight back against Trump's GOP-backed authoritarianism. An obviously hobbled Shitler could barely walk during his latest golf outing. Governor Pritzker ripped man-baby a new one for illegally deploying the National Guard in a historic righteous tongue lashing. In the new authoritarian led economy, the government could take stakes in even more companies. Even conservatives didn't like sickly Trump's plan to jail folks who burn the flag. Lil Nas got in trouble in Los Angeles and of course the cops were up to no good. A memoir of the late Epstein victim, Virginia Giuffre chronicled horrors involving predator Prince Andrew. A gaggle of New York suits gave the famously bland restaurant Cracker Barrell a marketing makeover and scored a zero with the MAGATs. The Crabs discussed how the New York Times and other outlets ruthlessly covered Biden's health issues and wondered why those same outlets barely touch on the Felon-in-chief's alleged congestive heart failure.
Another day in the resistance against Republican fascism. Sarah Huckabee Sanders feigns outrage about insurance rates going up thanks to Republicans. You get what you vote for, MAGAts. JD Vance's Disneyland trip proves that Republicans thing government serves them, not us. Trump meets with his handler, Putin, in Alaska. STDs are rampant in Mississippi. This one is now considered an epidemic - more Republican failure! Hey - where are those Epstein files? and more!

Superman would super-teabag people like Dean Cain. Nazi President Trump blathered he might deploy the National Guard to New York and Chicago after doing stupid totalitarian crap to DC. Trump's friend rapist Ghislaine Maxwell apparently offered to give the Biden campaign dirt on Shitler. Mama Nazi, AKA Marjorie Taylor Greene, who squared off against right wing but Mark Levin was also attacked fascist loon Laura Loomer. Swamp creature Jeanine Pirro lied when she said crime was not down in the nation's capital. Jesus super fan Jack Hibbs accused White House god liaison Paul White of being a false teacher. Bravo star Jennifer Welch preached the truth about MAGATS. Evil Royal and rapist of children Prince Andrew complained he was scared to travel to America.
