Our President is primarily focused on building a Ballroom. I thought the fall into authoritarianism would be more jarring. Turns out, a lot of us were already there. #SocialismSunday Solidarity now, solidarity forever.
I hope we can all agree that we need to stop pardoning Turkeys.
Partially because the exercise is so trite now that Trump had to riff on his grievances.

Secondly, because they are hellish creatures deserving of nothing other than our wrath. Happy Thanksgiving.

The dead minimum for a redemption arc for MTG (which is not what she is doing) is apologizing to David Hogg directly.

Until that happens, she still the 'Jewish Space lasers' to me.
Should the apology happen, I would still have many doubts. I think I find her irredeemable.
Never forget who MTG really is.

In America, Prison is kind of a dimension. One does not go to 'a' hell nor to 'the' hell.
Lots of us are fine with it. I presume it is one of things at the core of what is wrong with Americans.
wait I just realised

when I write in US English I get pulled up for saying “she went to hospital” because there should be a definite article in there

but they’re fine with “she went to prison”?

what

The likely summary of 2029 if we win with a moderate Democrat.
Before Obama took office, a lot of Dems in office condemned all manner of things the Bush Admin did. When he took office they dropped it all.

Yeah, get all up on firing the girl behind the counter.
Bondi has always been the lowest hanging fruit. Bondi et al, they are not here for a long time, they here for a good . . . nope. They are here for money. She gets what she gets, but there should be no badge of honor for calling for her removal.

Mine too. Grifters grift. The current iteration of MTG is still a grift, even if she seems passionate about it.
When MTG goes back to her old ways my “I told ya’s” are gonna be lit

It is not like I disagree with the central point. Suggesting removing Trump at this moment is red meat for blue people, but laughable. Even winning the house will not put this back on the table. 2 failed impeachments during the first regime assured that and permanently damaged the process.
The stakes are too high to wait: we need to impeach Trump now.

I’ll be speaking at the Remove the Regime rally in Washington, DC this Saturday. I hope to see you there!

The files, as I would think we think of them, will be released.

All for it, super cool.

Trust is so rotted that conspiracies will rise simultaneously.

It's not just where we are, it is who we are.

And I despair.

It does go a long way toward explaining her general facial expression. She might be a hostage with serious leverage.

The CBS team calling the Broncos-Chiefs game sounds like a KC home radio station. When KC's offense is on the field, most of the talk is about KC. When Denver's offense is on the field, most of the talk is about KC.

Has Trump been formally accused of anything relating to his one-time bestie? I am unaware of charges, so this would be 'much ado about nothing'.
It would be insane to shut a country down because an innocent person was worried about the release of any set of files. Since the emails . . .

If you are feeling proud of yourself for holding progressive/leftist(hopefully) views. This is what you are up against.
A moral compass is not a playing card in a tornado. True shit holds.
First of all, a 15-year-old is not "barely legal." The age of consent in Florida is 18. So sexual behavior with a 15-year-old is rape.

Megyn Kelly is VILE trash for saying otherwise.

And Megyn Kelly is confessing to having insider information about what Jeffrey Epstein was up to but stayed silent.

Seriously. Progressives and leftists need to reject AI art. NOW.
This is fucking trash. I don't care about the accuracy of the story. The thumbnail is indigestibly bad. It looks like parody as no one serious would do it. WTF

Going forward, a president doesn't spend time suing people.
Obama would be Musk if he forced clear defamation into court.
Trump is getting paid out of sheer cowardice. As we all expected, the cult is infringing on our rights.
And we need to not think that MAGA imploding helps us. They will get worse

If there is a #Comicssky , the Legion of Superheroes #LSH deserves some fricking respect. They were my first super hero team.

MAGA's version of the American Dream has gotten pretty dark.
I hope she got her braces as I shower with steel wool to get the stench of this administration off of me. If they aren't Trump they are fronting for him. If they are Trump, Hell awaits, buddy.

I don't know how this somehow slips my mind, but DL Hughley is so underappreciated.

Fine. A fair point.
But . . .

it makes people sit through the credits. Maybe some people start to appreciate the grandeur of the movie they just watched. Big movies are frequently our times great projects. Not as impressive as cathedrals, I grant you. But, huge undertakings.

Then you get a treat.
I never want to wait for a post credit scene again for the rest of my life. If you want me to think it's part of the movie, put it in the movie.

I do not take postings on this site as fact. SO, when a post suggests something that sounds beyond the pale, in these times, I do go look for sources.

Yeah, this happened. No one needs more rules than law enforcement. Less a criticism of law enforcement than an indictment on the power of corruption

The new Epstein drop makes me worry deeply for the people Trump is going to kill as a distraction. And you will not convince me there will not be a body count.

We've been killing people who happen to be on boats in the Caribbean before it got this drastic. I can only see this escalating.

Reagan was a RINO, This judge is an MSDNC plant. . . Affordability is a Democrat hoax.

I presume the responses in some circles will look like this.
