We have met the enemy, and he is us.
All these ridiculous mar-a-lago pics people have taken kind of remind me of what Vince Lombardi said about scoring a touchdown. (www.azquotes.com/quote/1399622)

Swell. The Speaker of the House is straight out of Hogan's Heroes.

(Let me help, kids. Hogan's Heroes was a sitcom from a time when American TV execs thought a sitcom about Nazis running a POW camp would be appropriate.)

Also this, from the same article. House GOP is so fractious, many of its members so extreme, and its margin so thin, that the best way to avoid trouble is to keep them away from the House chamber.

Well...everybody around trump is right about ONE thing, I guess....

Jimmy Kimmel was right.

Here's what he said.

Forgive me if I don't have a lot of confidence in the news side, either.

Five years ago, I thought WaPo was the best newspaper in the country. Now I only know what they're saying when somebody screenshots it in my social media.

I know it isn't the point of this article, but....

If any of my non-Jewish friends have ever heard the Yiddish word "ungepotchke" and wondered what it meant, it means the Oval Office decor as it appears in this photo.

That sounds great, but here's the sentence that immediately crushed all my optimism.

This is kind of interesting.

I'm not sure American lexicographers would agree.

I would scoff at the ridiculousness of teenagers digging into supposed irregularities in the 2020 election, except when 22 year-old Thomas Fugate is running DHS's hub for terrorism prevention, the very idea of "ridiculous" seems passé.

@nytimes.com has a genuine gift for knowing what I do not want to read.

Here's the thing, @nytimes.com: unless and until one of them winds up with their head on a pike, I don't really care.

Anybody want to play a round of "What would GOP & NYT have done if Biden had brought a person like this into the highest levels if government?"
