With no power comes no responsibility.

The ugliest parts of the discourse are about to be: “You Democrats are disgusting for celebrating when all these children were molested.”

No, Karen. This is schadenfreude in anticipation of a monster finally, maybe, seeing a consequence for a change.

Congressional Democrats should release them all in contravention of the rules. Given a choice between right and wrong, fuck the fucking rules.
Nancy Mace is expected to pull her support for the petition to release the Epstein Files, the day before Adelita Grijalva is sworn in.

As the wheel of Ka turns again, this time James Bond has retrieved the Horn of Eld and carries it as he follows the path of the beam.
James Bond’s death in No Time to Die is causing a nightmare for the next film. Writers are stuck because Bond “was blown to pieces.”

Anthony Horowitz, author of three 007 novels, says:

“You can't have him wake up in shower and saying it was all a dream."

Beside the point here but “roles?” Stop having AI juice your writing, WSJ.
(WSJ) - U.S. nonfarm payrolls likely shrunk by 50,000 roles in October, economists at Goldman Sachs said.

'V for Vendetta' TV series is in the works at HBO and DC

James Gunn will exec produce

The same brain-havers who never codified Roe because they wanted to fundraise off the political issue. Primary out these fools.

Senate Democrats are feckless rubes who should all be primaried out. They capitulated for nothing.

Mamdani is going to impose Shou Lou. Everyone gets a chance to steal the heart of the dragon and possess the power of the Immortal Iron Fist.
Mamdani is going to impose Shangri-La. Everyone gets a room upgrade, 2 free drinks in the bar, and a free massage in the spa.
Mamdani is going to impose Shishito Law. One in every ten New Yorkers will be unexpectedly spicy.

Dems always snatching defeat from the jaws of victory.

I just called Schumer’s office and left a voicemail. Infuriating.
So, listen, call Schumer’s office no matter where you live, no matter if you’re registered to vote. Leave a voicemail that says if Senate Dems cave without an ACA premiums fix, you will never vote for or donate to another Senate Democrat as long as he is Leader
Call them:

Schumer (NY)
202 224-6542

Booker (NJ)
202 224-3224

King (ME)
202 224-5344

Hassan (NH)
202 224-3324

Durbin (IL)
202 224-2152

Ossoff (GA)
202 224-3521

Shaheen (NH)
202 224-2841

Gillibrand (NY)
202 224-4451

Masto (NV)
202 224-3542

Warner (VA)
202 224-2023

Fetterman (PA)

Fuck this. Democrats need to hold fast. Why give the Rs anything when the House CR only runs until the 21st?

Hold out 12 more days and then force a deal that requires Johnson to bring the House back, seat Grijalva, and force the Epstein Files into the light.
Senate Democrats are meeting behind closed doors to discuss the emerging deal. “Stay tuned,” Schumer tells us with a grin.

Oh well, nevertheless.
Bills are undefeated this season when I wear the Los Bills shirt, FYI.

Yes, I will be wearing it every game now.
I hope the Bills win today.

Day 9: The Fantastic Four

Doom’s Time Platform flashes to life. Stepping through it, four silhouettes in matching blue & white FF uniforms. They are the adult Alex, Julie, Jack, and Katie Power.

Katie: “We’re the Fantastic Four and we’re here to save the world.”

A chicken in every pot as a service.
Trump isn’t going to do anything to address ridiculous prices, but he will let you mortgage a house for 50 years!

His banker buddies will LOVE that. A $400,000 house will cost you a million dollars over 50 years.

What’s next, 10 year auto loans? 🤢
Trump and his cronies are now pushing 50-year mortgages.

Buckle up. This is going to make the 2008 mortgage crisis look like the good old days.

Fundamentally, Obamacare IS the Republican plan. It’s RomneyCare writ large. The only alternatives are going backwards or universal healthcare like the rest of the world has.

The Rs will NEVER have a plan because they’re checkmated.
The current GOP lie is that they’re going to replace Obamacare with something better.

Bullshit. In all of the majorities they’ve had since Obamacare passed, they’ve never once tried to replace it.

They’ve tried to repeal it a whole bunch, but never actually make it better.

Day 8: The Liberators

Sue Storm knows that 4-person teams work best and has gathered Monica Rambeau, Clea, & Escapade for this critical moment.

Escapade: “We’re the Lady Liberators!”

Sue: “Just Liberators is fine, Sheila dear.”
