I'm not always funny, but when I am, people snort-laugh.
When we travel, anywhere in the world, we call all pigeons Bernice. Because I'm convinced, and have since convinced my wife, that all pigeons, globally, are named Bernice.

A SCOTUS justice saying to disregard precedent is ridiculous. It's anathema to the position. Thomas is a corrupt, unqualified joke who should have never been confirmed.

What all this autism hullabaloo taught me is there's no one way to be human. There's not one set of operating code our wetware processors run off of. There's no one way to think or act. That we are all unique in our own broken janky cobbled-together-genetics way. And I think that's beautiful.

How do they just refuse to see it? Is it because they're not wearing jackboots & jodhpurs? Is it because they're not in the default uniform of evil we've used in every TV show and movie over the past 80 years? It's the missing jackboots & jodhpurs, isn't it?

Why is it "the able-bodied shouldn't be on benefits!" and never "the profitable business shouldn't get subsidies!" If your company made millions, let alone billions in profit, why are taxpayers handing you even more?

Nothing shows how full of shit the Repubs are than when you hear them talk about how "burdensome" corp regulations are, and how "common sense" regulations on actual citizens are. It's easier for a multi-billion-dollar corp to dump toxic waste into a river than for a family of 7 to qualify for SNAP.

Here's your reminder that in Castle Rock v. Gonzales (2005) the Supreme Court decided that police have no legal duty to protect individuals. "To Protect and Serve" is a marketing slogan, not a mission statement.
Cops enforce punishment for broken laws, not prevent laws from being broken.

OK, can someone explain to me how Congress sets the budget for the following year, but then the Executive branch can just up & ignore it. How can they just close departments, countermand budgets & unilaterally reallocate spending however they want as if that budget never existed at all?

At this point, the only president to have a worse first 100 days in office was William Henry Harrison, but only because he was dead for 69 of them.
And really, even that's debatable.

Oh, lookit that. Rubio says US will abandon trying to broker a truce b/c Russia won't negotiate in good faith & doesn't want to end the war. Huh if only someone, maybe someone with direct knowledge, like the leader of Ukraine, would've directly told them that Russia doesn't negotiate in good faith..

An entire generation bamboozled by blinding balderdash, bullying bloviation & bigotted bullshit. How populist conservatism ever won the hearts & minds of what was once the heartland of liberal America, I'll never understand. Nobody who has ever worked for someone else should ever vote Republican.

The fucking Koreans, Japanese and Chinese are working together, and those mfs all hate each other. Our two biggest allies in the western pacific are working with our biggest economic and military rival. THAT'S how much they don't want to work with this jabrone.

Do they honestly see all this as strength? As leadership? Our allies are turning away from us. They are actively talking about a future without us. And it's not just because Trump is an immoral, feckless puppet, its because they can't abide a system that would allow such a man to return to power.

So sick & tired of the media enabling this tariff bullshit with acquiescent language. They aren't "reciprocal," they're arbitrary & unnecessary. China isn't "heating up the trade war," they're responding in kind to what Trump did 1st. 10%? OK, they match. 20? 34? 84? 125? US raised 1st every time.

He's threatened a 50% tariff on China if they don't drop the 34% they slapped on us in response to us slapping them with 34% because they raised to 20% matching our 20% put in place when they put a 10% because we put a 10% out of nowhere.

Well, I guess etymology is as good as any other subject to geek about, as we hurtle headlong in a recession & a constitutional crisis on a dreary Monday morning.

If your job required a college degree you should be able to write-off your student loans as a business expense exactly the way CEOs write off their private jets, yatchs, and luxury SUVs for their jobs which require none of those things.

And while we also told them exactly what he was going to do, they called us deranged and AS HE'S FUCKING DOING WHAT HE AND WE BOTH SAID HE WOULD DO they chant that he was right about everything. It's infuriating to see them go full 1984 with the groupthink of the exact opposite of reality.

We had the strongest economy in the world. Added 16M jobs, unemployment at a 50-year low, and the stock market at an all-time high. GOP took control <3 months ago & we're in the dumbest trade war of all time & EVERYTHING imported just got 10% more expensive & we're headed to recession. Again.
