These are the same people who insist Adolf Hitler was a socialist because “National Socialist German Workers Party” has the word “socialist” in it.

I like to quiz them about the Democratic People's Republic of Korea, just to watch their eyebrows twitch.

Slotkin knows exactly what she’s doing here, i.e., putting on a bullshit “maverick” act to secure herself a spot on the ‘28 ticket.

I’ve fallen for this same ruse twice – first with Sinema, then again with Fetterman. I’ll not fall for it again.

Little rodent looks like he’s passing a kidney stone.

In the proud, cutting-edge tradition of conservative American comedy.

Cholesterol and old carpet.

Your very own Annie Wilkes. Yikes!

My dad once described Etta James as having “the voice of an angel—with a lightning bolt in her quiver.”

I will never forget the way @edokeefecbs.bsky.social treated @karinejean-pierre.bsky.social in that briefing room – bullying and shouting at her like a sawed-off drill sergeant. I often wonder if he treats his wife and daughters the same way.

And these days, he’s quiet as a church mouse.
