Kim Davis And The Things That Man Always Has Been
Some of you will remember Kim Davis, the Kentucky county clerk who was famously jailed for refusing to grant a marriage license to a same-sex couple, stating that her religious beliefs were the reason. Although she was eventually released and she was even sued for violating the rights of the couple in question, she has been rather unrelenting in her quest to get Obergfell overturned since then, for she has occasionally appeared in various venues attempting to start the process on this very thing.

Pat McAfee is a shithead and always has been and ESPN's brand could and would be improved by punting this man's head through the uprights one Saturday morning in the chill of autumn.

I don't know, Karoline. These seem to prove that he was there and did a lot of wrong.
JIANG: Did the president ever spend hours at Epstein's house with a victim?

The remaining hangups for the GOP in this respect are that some of them probably are in those files and / or disloyalty is going to open the blackmail files on still more, courtesy of Dear Leader. They have put themselves in a position where they are - either now or at some point - decimated.
If Republicans were smart, they'd get behind releasing the Epstein Files.
It'll all come out eventually. The last thing they want is to be seen as protecting pedophiles, but then again...

As your President, I pledge that my worst trait will be geeking out over someone who does 80s songs in classic Latin. Also, my occasionally rude sense of humor.

I think state-level offices were going to do this. I think that, at the state level, the rage is going to be more concentrated and, on a net basis, more profound for the GOP in 2026.
Republican states are defying a Supreme Court hold and Trump's Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) suspension, paying out benefits for millions.

If I were the BBC, I would at least raise my hand and ask if, in light of this, we could have another discussion about all this....
unpopular opinion but the bbc shouldn’t give $1 billion to a man Jeffrey Epstein called ‘dirty’

While I am not struggling as mightily, I can certainly tell you that we have become a bit more observant of the budget around here, and even though I am comfortable, having a man who has never even had to do that much thinking, let alone the amount other families do, speak about this bad taste.

The focus now has to be a relentless assault on the GOP as protectors of what has to be one of the largest pedophile rings in the modern world.
I guess we know why Trump, Bondi, Patel and Mike Johnson have been covering up the Epstein files. I’m sure there is a whole lot more and a whole lot worse.

In normal times, just this would end someone's career and possibly freedom.

Jeffries has it on an audible volume, but he needs to turn it up to 11.
the only thing democrats should be saying today is “the entire republican party is engaged in a coverup of the most notorious child sex trafficking ring in world history”

This isn't shocking, of course. All it does is underscore why the man is so afraid of anything else coming out.
(At this point, he probably barely remembers his name, so he might not even know right away if they are released because look at this lovely portrait of Calvin Coolidge.)

All they had to do was be kind and culturally appropriate, China's less desirable features - such as being a repressive single-party system - notwithstanding for just a moment....

They sell these at the Home Depot about three miles from us. They sell the paint too.
If nothing else, the look is somewhat accessible if you like "late era bankrupt landed family" decor.

CONFIRMED: the gold snot covering the Oval Office is $58-apiece onlays from Home Depot that have been spraypainted.
When Laura Ingraham confronted Trump about this in the Oval—specifically and correctly noting that the tacky garbage was from Home Depot—he lied to her face and insisted it wasn't.
