Neurodiverse observer, worrier, tempered optimist, trying to balance hope over despair in a world gone mad.
I’ll say this about Kristen Welker: I really, really miss Tim Russert. Gurl, here’s something I learned from him and the brilliant practitioner of his strategy, Katie Porter: Never ask a question you don’t already have the answer to, along with evidentiary charts, diagrams, and videos, if necessary.

The face you make when your liver, kidneys, stomach, and pancreas have been compressed into a single organ, and you realize your dress was made from the draperies in your Bubbie’s apt. In Boca.

Because nothing illustrates white billionaire maga privilege more than them LITERALLY telling neighbors to, “eat my shit.”

Dear media: please tell me again how Biden was the one who was too old to be president, or Obama wearing a tan suit in the Oval was a sartorial faux pas.

Great Hands Off turnout in Great Barrington MA. Probably 75% boomers which isn’t surprising. We’ve been protesting for over 50 years. We know the fucking assignment.

So, President Elonia let little Donny (LD) sit at the big boy desk for the news conference. LD spoke for 30 seconds and Elonia spoke for about 10 minutes. His gross offspring ran around like a wild Dingo. It was a horror show.

I want AOC and Jasmine Crockett to run the Dems, starting now.

I want everyone to know that I have photographic evidence that the 🍊💩 actually did send troops to the Canadian border to turn on the big big big faucet to send water to California. Turns out the faucet wasn’t quite as big as he described, but just look at those heroic soldiers at work.

How will I survive the nxt 4 yrs? Drink the good stuff in the wine cellar, enjoy friends & family, help mid-term candidates, enjoy my solar powered house & plug-in hybrid, smoke weed, call out Nazi & anti-democracy shit. To recap: wine, weed, alt-energy, mid-terms, friends & fam, call out Nazi crap.

If only there’d been warning signs that he lied. One again, people voted for the Leopards Eating Peoples Faces Party & are SHOCKED that a Leopard ate their faces. To them I say, FU. We fucking screamed it from the rooftops, yet you thought he’d spare you? You voted for a Nazi so guess what that make
January 23, 2025 at 3:33 PM
Nah, ADL, you got it waaayyy wrong. That wasn’t an awkward gesture, that was a Nazi salute. He did it more than once and making excuses for it is some serious Kapo shit. And yes, I’m Jewish and my father was a Holocaust survivor so don’t fucking lecture me on antisemitism.

About 3 inches so far. Likely to end up with 6 or more. At least up here the only thing coming down is snow. I hear in DC they’ve been invaded by MAGAts

Hey, @newyorkstateag, surely this grifting, braggadocious, bribe-loving mayor has run afoul of some NY State laws. A state conviction is presidential pardon-proof. How about helping a city out?

The incoming White Christian Nationalist Oligarchy may not put us in actual burkas but they most assuredly will be stripping women, LGBTQ+, & people of color of rights &!dignity while also sowing religious intolerance. Good work voters, we’re about to enter our sh*thole country years.

Imagine the MAGA outrage if Biden had tried to withhold or condition aid to FL for the most recent hurricanes which caused multiple billions in damage, & then hold DeSantis accountable for not tending the sand dunes. That’s what MAGA is doing to CA. It’s not just cruel & stupid, it’s unAmerican.
January 14, 2025 at 5:24 PM
For the “but the economy” and “Dems ignore the middle and working class” folk, I give you and hearfelt FU. YOU are why the US is about to enter its sh*thole country years.
January 12, 2025 at 1:24 PM
So the guy that is now ineligible to be a teacher, an accountant, a nurse, a train conductor or an airline pilot is about to be our president. So, who’s the shithole country now?

Every word of VP Harris’ speech yesterday was carefully crafted to illustrate the stark difference between a man of intelligence, integrity, compassion, & humanity, & a pathetic despot of a man lacking every one of those things. It was a tour de force.
