True Blue. Vote to win, not to "make a point". Unicorns don't exist.
Mike Johnson is studiously trying to remember to tell the press "I haven't seen that. I've been very busy."

Always Russia with this jackass.

He says the quiet part out loud so much, but half the country never listens.
December 16, 2025 at 4:39 AM
When that day comes, he deserves to be rolled into a corner and forgotten. I don't think anything else would wound him more deeply that to be ignored.

No matter who he thought killed Rob and Michelle, he's still saying that attacking him (Trump) leads to your justifiable murder.

Even if he's trying to get ahead of being blamed for stoking violence here; He's STILL telling his followers that people that he (Trump) doesn't like, deserve death.

Another example of exactly how much MAGA respects the law.

If it doesn't benefit them, it's moot.

Her actions were partisan, and illegal. Trump's pardon in effect acknowledges that he doesn't care. The lawyer's action shows he doesn't respect the US Constitution. They are ALL criminals.

Trump's really earning that FIFA "peace" prize.
December 16, 2025 at 3:04 AM
You have to admit "We don't know what we're what we're doing!" is a pretty on-brand message for the Trump administration.

Still, claiming that they're not subject to have to stop the project because they don't have any plans to review is weak, legally and practically.

Another imperative of a modern oligarchy is to control the media and have great propaganda.

John Steinbeck once said: ....the poor see themselves not as an exploited proletariat but as temporarily embarrassed millionaires.

^^That's one of the greatest grifts of the rich.

Not sure why so many Americans revel in slurping up the dregs...

They keep finding all these RW/MAGA believers taking violent action against everyone they can, while calling for more. Yet they still can't find even a local chapter of Antifa.

I think we might be related.

"Come on! Stopping shooting at us! It makes it harder to kill you."

You can pretty much draw a 1-1 connection between the economic vitality of a state, and it's minimum wage.

The higher the wage, the better the economy is doing.

That's the federal MW. West coast states have something similar to Ontario now.

Unfortunately, many of the poorer "red" states still have the federal minimum. I think it's like 20 states are still at $7.25. Which is un-effing believable.

Someone that used to work with a Russian propaganda network accusing someone of spewing "talking points"? lol Yeesh.

Also, funny she doesn't realize that a bill HAS been passed cutting taxes for the rich and screwing the middle class. It's been advertised by MAGA for months now.
December 13, 2025 at 8:41 PM
MAGA will not be satisfied with American media/entertainment until they get half time shows consisting of "detainees" being released onto the field then chased down and beaten by MAGA thugs in soldier cosplay.

Then again, you can get that by just walking down the street these days...

I love the way that he signs off every "truth" like he's writing a letter to the HOA board about an RV being parked on the street.

Who'd have thought we'd see snowflakes in SF?
December 13, 2025 at 8:20 PM
He latches-on to the most basic, easy to understand concepts. It's why he's loved by the mouth breathers.

I envision Trump taking presents from under the tree saying "Kids don't need that many presents! You don't need more than 1 doll. MAYBE 2"...
December 13, 2025 at 7:51 PM
This could be good for some, and bad for others. Most good servers/bartenders I know make their hourly plus at least 30/hr in tips. I'd say this compensation is on the low end compared to that. The upside is it's consistent. The downside? Even the most shit server gets the same as the best.

I almost drowned in the upper Snoqualmie river (above the falls) many moons ago. Closest I ever came to dying.

But yeah, we've been getting dumped on in the PNW, and now it's weirdly warm.

"liked" strictly for the most depressing smile I've ever seen. Even on a clown.
December 12, 2025 at 3:56 AM
Sounds like more of that persistent Russia "hoax" in effect.
