Apparently nether Trump nor Vance were invited to Dick Cheney’s funeral at the National Cathedral today and while I still don’t like Cheney, it IS some impressive shade from beyond the grave

Love you @raskin.house.gov. But it’s not THAT big.
Raskin: We are a big tent. We must be a huge, vast tent. I say this is a party that’s got room for Marjorie Taylor Greene if she wants to come over.

White cop parked next to where I pulled up at a stop light, motioned to me to roll down my window.

Cop: What kind of music is that
Me: Sorry officer, was it too loud?
Cop: No. just, what music?
Me: Rhianna?
Cop: Good tune.

WHAT THE FUCK JUST HAPPENED TO ME??

In 1925, the all-Black Wichita Monrovians beat the KKK’s baseball team 10–8—a small but undeniable crack in the lie of white supremacy. Frederic J. Frommer tells the story.
100 years ago, an all-Black team beat the KKK on a baseball diamond
Today, though, legacy of the law has led to the end of a Black college scholarship.

Best case: The President of the United States knew about a pedophilia ring and did nothing to stop it.

Medium case: He also used his office to protect the perpetrators.

Worst case: Because he was one of the perpetrators.

Epstein says, “I know how dirty donald is.”

You know Trump is going to lie when confronted with this.

As more and more comes out, and it will, Trump will be boxed into a corner.

He can shoot someone on 5th Ave, but child sex trafficking is another matter.

The Situation Room.

LOL. LMAO.
Q: "Why are White House officials…meeting with Rep. Boebert in an effort to try to get her to not sign this petition calling for the release of the [Epstein] files?"

Leavitt: "I'm not going to detail conversations that took place in the situation room."

If you like whipped shea butters, check out my girl! Black owned, based out of GA. I’ve been using her for over five years now.

They’re creamy and I love the scents, they’re not overly heavy which I appreciate.

Good morning to everyone but especially to Lady Ruby Freeman and Shaye Moss, whose judgement against Rudy Giuliani for defaming them and turning their lives upside down cannot be pardoned away by the president

The answer Sen, Shaheen is that since America elected the Black man to be president, the official position of the Republican Party is “not to work together with Democrats to address the problems that are facing this country.”
Shaheen: "When I talk to my constituents in New Hampshire, you know what they say to me? They say, 'Why can't you all just work together to address the problems that are facing this country?'"

So, will Arizona Rep. Adelita Grijalva be getting immediately sworn in once the Dems cave on this shutdown madness? I sure AF don't trust Mike Johnson and his king's other minions to let that eventual Epstein-files-release-vote leaf flow easily down the river.

Johnson is a chicken-shit feckless little fuck who's too busy polishing Trump's mushroom to actually do his fucking job.

Face it, you feckless fuck, the Epstein files are going to come out. And when they do, you'll look even more like a feckless, sycophantic little fuck, assuming that's possible.
Speaker Johnson is officially keeping the House in recess again next week. This will be the eighth consecutive week the House has been out of session. The chamber hasn't met since Sept. 19. Adelita Grijalva, who was elected on Sept. 23, has not been sworn in.
