Once a library school grad, always a sarcastic individual with too many books and not enough shelves. Definitely not making Mt. Holyoke, Stony Brook, or Pratt proud.

Fuckin' all of them. Hell, I saw Genesis live at MSG in 2007 and the set list was heavy into their earlier 70s, Gabriel-era work.
I prefer the Gabriel-era songs, but like Collins better as the lead singer *ducks and runs*

I feel like everyone is looking at what MTG is doing with total blinders on. She's not rebelling against Republicans. She's not holding them accountable. She's not learning.
She sees further that MAGA is done for, and she has aims to fill the void when it's gone. She's playing the long game.

President Donald Trump on Friday announced he is withdrawing his endorsement of Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.), who has grown increasingly critical of the Republican Party and Trump's actions and policies.

I just don’t see how we can pretend even for a moment that anything involving our federal government is remotely normal when the president is covering up his involvement in a child sex trafficking ring. Like, what are we doing here

I still have nightmares about my first girlfriend chasing me around with a bottle of tea tree oil and a sharp implement shouting "LET ME AT THAT BLACKHEAD, PUSSY". All women are New Jack. If you don't know that, you haven't had a good, healthy relationship with one.
Fun to see male fans get the vapors over women blading. The average gal has had a monthly relationship with blood before you had a whisker, goes to bed listening to podcasts about Ted Bundy, and would gleefully take a scalpel to any blemish you have if you let her. Catch up.

The whole "it's not pedophilia if the girl is 15" is a strong argument against parents' absolute control over children's lives. We can't be trusting the lives of children to people who think adult men deserve sexual access to adolescents.

Note: A lot of people keep asking why the docs released the other day weren't released under Biden.
The short answer is 1) alleged ongoing investigation/prosecution, 2) scope 3) Privacy Act and 4) CVRA, which mandates that victims hear from DOJ.
It matters that DOJ is ignoring the latter.

Update: It's now the fault of Kamala Harris. Because she didn't do enough.... I really can't get any cogent thought or reasoning out of this person. But they firmly believe Harris should have read up on Acosta's plea deal in 2008 and then connected dots to Epstein emails in 2017 and stopped Trump.

I've now experienced my second "let's blame Biden" rant. Is this the new Fox News line or is it something someone on CBS or CNN floated?
I just IRL witnessed someone blame Joe Biden for not releasing the Epstein emails and arresting every man identified in those emails. Because it's his fault.
And his team for hiding his "condition."
Not the GOP for engineering the cover-up. Not McConnell for knee-capping the country.
