For the foreseeable future, if it's not about stopping the orange shitgibbon and mars boy, I'm probably not going to be interested. I'll be happy to look at kitties and titties after we get all this straightened out.
She stayed long enough to do some way fat insider trading and get herself vested for Congressional retirement benefits. She'll never have to work again if she doesn't want to, and there's a world of personal trainers and yoga instructors out there to explore...

For most of his life, Trump has been slipperier than a greased pig, and one alive has been able to take him down. So I find a certain poetry, certainly Poe-esque, in the image of the cold, dead hand of murdered Jeffrey Epstein reaching out of his grave to grab Trump by the ankle and pull him under.

Firefox has fixed a long-standing bug. For those of us who hide our task bar, it wouldn't come back up with Firefox opened. Had to double tap the resize icon in the upper right corner, a work around I have not seen in any Firefox users' forums, but an easy work around. Don't have to do that now.

They sold us out because visions of people who wear suits and have nice cars and mortgages using food banks horrified them. All this time they haven't given a rat's ass about the rest of us lining up for groceries, but god damn it, those flight delays are the last fucking straw...

For folks asking if they've made it *inside* a Home Depot yet as the business has clearly just continued letting agents do whatever they want in their lots, the answer is yes. This is from yesterday in Evanston.

Tomorrow, 10/10, The Nobel Committee will announce this year's Nobel Peace Prize recipient. Trump expects to win it with the announcement of a ceasefire in Gaza. Things are going to turn ugly when he doesn't get it.

I somehow have the feeling the House has sat its last session. If reconvening means swearing Grijalva in to make the 218th signature on the petition of discharge re the Epstein Files, Johnson will shutter the House, which has already abdicated its authority to Trump anyway.
