I once sang, “From where I stand you look like ants / and there’s an aardvark in my pants.” It wasn’t literally true at the time.

Surely at some point, organizations had a sensible bias against being led by know-nothing dumbfucks? I believe this must be true because humanity has torn iron from the ground and made it into buildings a thousand feet high.

If Donny Trump - the brain-damaged Whitey House guy - got a 50-year mortgage when he was 29, he’d be done paying it off now! Instead, he wasted his time keeping Black people from moving into his daddy’s properties.

The President wouldn't survive 3 seconds in my mom's vagina. I miss her terribly.
The President wouldn't last five minutes as an air traffic controller, and after everything they've been through - and the way this administration has treated them from Day One - he has no business shitting on them now.

Honestly, this is the crux of Trumpism: The argument that the government and its agents should be allowed to break the law without consequence. They don't understand why they shouldn't be allowed this, nor do they care to understand.
what's so crazy-making about this oral argument (which I'll write about when it's done) is that the GOP justices are saying 'yes the officials knew they were violating his rights, but they didn't know they could be *sued and have to pay $$ for that, seems unfair'

"Democratic capitulators whose seats would be filled by Democratic governors in the event of vacancy (Durbin, Fetterman, Kaine, King) should be under immense pressure to resign mid-session. Now, even. Or in Kaine’s case, after Abigail Spanberger is sworn in. If your senator fits that bill, get loud"

This is disgusting and racist, obviously bc the admin is those things. Y’all waiting for my verdict on that, here you go.

Seriously, will somebody please inform me about the people in the race to replace Dick Durbin in the Senate, before some shitbird runs away with the nom? Please re-post, I don’t have the bandwidth for this research but it seems kind of fucking important!

That is some kind of booing, so much that even a thing as stupid as Trump knows he got booed… but it still wasn’t enough. They should have booed so loud that he fucking died.

Remember when Joe Biden gave the GOP every ask in a border bill and EX President Don Trump killed that bill? Well, MAGA voters didn’t remember that at all and Dem voters did. It only cost votes for Dems.
Schumer needs to be punched in the jaw by everyone that sees him for the rest of his life.

SCOOP: Schumer was more involved than reported with the attempted cave on the government shutdown. The Gang of 8 Senate Dems had his approval & he was getting daily updates.
In Thursday's caucus meeting, the Gang claimed they had 10 votes to cave. The caucus went nuts, leading to the new proposal.
