Gently caressing his personal gavel Mike Johnson nervously licked his thin lips and approached Donald Trump. “I want you to have it” he gushed. Donald was delighted, he had had Mike before but never like this.

CBS wasn’t around 100 years ago, nor was fox, Walmart, amazon, McDonald’s. We don’t need any of these people, we have choices. Chose people and companies of character and let the other ones fade into the history books.

I’m guessing that the C in CBS stands for Conform

The dems wouldn’t speak out about the genocide in Gaza, the dems wouldn’t release the Epstein files, the dems didn’t put a 34 time felon behind bars. They don’t get to take the high road.

Donations are urgently needed because republican congress is still shuffling around on their knees praying.

If people could shut the fuck up about how their grandparents or great grandparents had it tough and did it right but these immigrants who walked 2000 miles to the border have it easy, that would be great.

They’re so patriotic that they’ll wear flag underwear and wipe their greasy hands on flag napkins.

Instead of sending prayers to Texas, maybe speaker Johnson should take in an old John Wayne movie, or play a game of hackysack or try out kite flying. They’re all just as helpful to the people in Texas.

Mike Johnson feels helpless but is sending prayers to Texas. GOP leadership in a nutshell.

Locals and meteorologists call the area “flash flood alley”.

In the middle of the deadly Texan flood coverage is not the place to give sports updates.

Dr No is squaring off with Blofeld.

The people who oversaw the deadly shooting in Uvalde are overseeing the deadly floods in Kerrville. My heart goes out to the victims of this catastrophe.

Musk is dismayed that the person who made a career out of lying is lying. Oh no….

Felons belong in prison. If the orange man was sentenced to prison instead of warm snuggles and adoration from the Nazi party then we wouldn’t be in this situation.

The democrats will address the iniquities of the big bollox bill as soon as they’ve finished attacking Mamdani.

I do sometimes think I should use the Substack app more. It can be confusing and non-user-friendly on occasion, but there is some good content there.

If I learned anything from the No Kings march it’s that it had zero impact on the king. Trump and his minions don’t care. Their policies remain intact.

But they didn’t care. They were ok with the misery and unhappiness that it would bring. They called it big and beautiful but in comparison to the amount of chaos it would cause it was really small and ugly. America became less of a place to live for every American. And they were okay with that.

Those amazingly brave and heroic men who wrestle scared immigrants into unmarked cars could easily be sent to iran. They already have their little vests and camouflage shirts. They can wrestle the ayatollah into submission and end this war!

He’s deployed the troops to America and the bombs to iran.

Trumps surprises world by giving allies a wedgie and iran a kick in the bollox
