Hey, Holy Hypocrite: Maybe your job wouldn't be so "stressful and chaotic" if you had actually been DOING it for last four months.
Speaker Mike Johnson is "crushed by his workload."
Bitch, please! You've been on a self-conferred vacation the past few months.

JD Vance's revisionist history tells you how far the Trump Regime is rewriting history to not merely to justify oppression, but to "normalize" oppression, just as they're "normalizing" masked gestapo and the American military making a show of brutality in major American cities.
Vance loves to deploy fabricated racist fearmongering. First Haitians are eating the pets, now Indigenous people sacrificed children?! Sheesh.

No, you have to hear this joke in the voice of Jeff Foxworthy: "If your government opens a War dept and closes or cripples the Depts of Education, Health, Justice, State, Intelligence, FEMA, CPB, Voice of America, etc, etc., ... you might just live in a [redneck] shithole."

I have a great idea! Despicable Donnie will proclaim that Arabs are dirty furriners, so "Arabic numbers" should be renamed "Islamophobia numbers."

I love Simon's cat! My own Samson's technique is to stand on the bed between my husband’s head and mine and mew directly into my ear.

Since "red" and "blue" are locked in mortal combat, I'd like to found the Yellow Party. We're in favor of science, courtesy, tolerance, diversity, justice, inclusiveness, integrity, honesty, courage, liberty, affordable health care for all, and a PROGRESSIVE tax code. And jailing RFK Jr, DJT, Bovi—

Cool trivia: there's a rock in the center of the Pacific, Point Nemo, that is so distant from shore that the closest human beings to Point Nemo are in the International Space Station.
Which Despicable Donnie hasn't decommissioned and sold for parts ... yet.

Time Traveler to Jean-Luc, on *her* mission's failure: "You have succeeded in your mission all too well, Picard." Me: If *you* had succeeded in changing your own distant past, you wouldn't exist, would you?"

There *are no* Republicans in 2025. They are all either Trumpublicans or former Republicans. America's first god-emperor leads a "party" of sycophants and worshipers. I personally find it nauseating — but I've only been a patriot since 1952, so what do *I* know?
TPUBLICAN is perfect if the "T" stands for TRAITOR.

In her column this morning, Heather Cox Richardson was struck by the ways in which we are reliving the 1890s — the Gilded Age. Which is appropriate, since America's first god-emperor rules us from the Gilded Bordello.

The original Star Trek's "Wink of an Eye" marks the loss of a huge opportunity. Imagine being able to accelerate yourself for some emergency, even if it's nothing more than a test tomorrow, and then decelerate yourself *with no apparent physical aftereffects.*

The parents who preferred propaganda to their own babies OUGHT to be ashamed and consumed with sorrow. Instead I bet they're planning to sue President Biden, or President Obama, or Dr. Fauci...
Unbelievable.
Very few things piss me off more than anti-vax morons killing their children.

I left Facebook the day after the election, when the Facebook bots made me "follow" the Convicted Felon in Chief *and refused to let me UNfollow him.* I will return to Facebook *after* Jeff Bezos acknowledges that the Melon Felon hates democracy almost as much as he hates accountability.

A senior House Republican: “This entire WH team has treated ALL [Trumpublicans] like garbage. ALL. And Mike Johnson has let it happen because he wanted it to happen. That is the sentiment of nearly all — appropriators, authorizers, hawks, doves, rank and file."

I actually hope that reality is what individuals perceive it to be. Wouldn't it be lovely to see millions of sanctimonious hypocrites being Raptured up to their vision of Heaven?

Attorney General Barbie ignored Epstein & his island when she was attorney general of Florida. Her qualification for the highest law enforcement job in the nation? She defended the Felon in Chief for his first impeachment. You know, the first of the two "guilties" where Trumpublicans let him off.

May 31 & June 1, 1921: In one of the worst incidents of racial violence in US history, mobs of white men attacked black Tulsans and destroyed more than 35 square blocks of homes & businesses in one of the wealthiest black communities in the United States, colloquially known as "Black Wall Street."

The story is not that Despicable Donnie is in the Epstein files. We already know he has raped or molested AT LEAST 26 women. We know he's done horrible things because we believe the women. The STORY is that wealthy white men can get away with anything, even rape, because they are wealthy and white.
