She’s awful. Not worth her weight in potatoes.
The people who bring the n-word to life.
Reup: John Roberts gave Ed "Big Balls" Cositine live and unaudited access to every Americans' social security data. www.emptywheel.net/2025/08/26/a...
These are your people, not ours.
Scab.
Nothingburger.
What a surprise that Trump would go after the black woman at the Fed. He is consistently racist.
Great news. T-Mobile is now using Starlink satellites. Go f--k yourselves, T-Musk.
I sent her a response today: Washington state will not be bullied or intimidated by threats and legally baseless accusations.
I’ve got a couple of those in my tree — if it’s [illeg] right after child name, I think safe to assume it’s the kid.
States should be setting up a bulletproof alternate system of record to track voting choices. This government cannot be trusted.
Someone needs to ask whether he’s doing this for the racism or projection?
One thing the internet is pretty good for is remembering things.
My theory: Putin has all of Epstein’s documents, photos, and videos. Probably more than Pam Bondi knew so far. He is capable of bringing down not just Trump, but his entire administration, as well as hundreds of powerful, wealthy men. — This would explain the “Alaska shockwave”.
You know you’re a winner when you leave Putin looking like this.
This week’s Just for Skeets and Giggles is out! Have a great weekend. open.substack.com/pub/statusku...
Marvin said it best “Made me wanta holler, the way they do my life.”
It must be tough waking up every day knowing what a stain on humanity you are.
Who had “leader of free world bend it like Beckham” on their bingo card?
Trump took such a beating today, even his Epstein files are bruised.
Markwayne can’t come to the phone right at the moment cause…
The Kennedy Center was named for a President who was widely popular and brutally assassinated. If Trump wants his name on that building, he’s got some catching up to do.
It’s taco Monday, apparently.
Curiously, the Roberts court seems to be all about presidential autonomy unless you’re President Biden.
My experience with AI translations from Russian has not been good to date , and the confidence level plus failure to disclaim possible quality issues added insult to injury.
The poor child will at some point be told what the father did, and that may be hard to forgive.
How’s dad going to get his Grinch fantasy on without the tools?
This is called a bribe.
As Livia Soprano would say, “Oh lord, just take me now.”
I wonder if Robert Kennedy thinks the death of millions will make up for the assassination of his father.
Right. This is shaping up to be objective as AF.
Love it. I just located my great-grandmother’s still standing home in County Kerry, Ireland. When I fantasized to the owner about renting it, he said “Sure. No water, no power, no sewer, and no road”.
People are horrified how far you could get your head up someone’s ass and still talk. Astounding.
It's going to look amazing with the guillotine he'll soon install.
Ghislaine Maxwell is about to run into the pointy end of a piano.
That certainly takes balls to cut 17 million people off health care and then announce you're spending $200 million to build a new ballroom. Let them eat cake.
A museum of lies.
Every day, Trump makes Nixon look more like a choirboy.
The President will be disappointed he couldn’t pardon him.
So you’re telling us you want to lock up more black people. Got it.
What happened to the other two branches of Federal government that made them such epic wusses and executive ass-kissers? It is embarrassing.
Rep. Mike Johnson has 5 children. If one of them were the victim of a sexual predator, would he also run away, or is that just appropriate for other people’s children?
By high-functioning, do you actually mean “cannot claw way out of paper bag that is not open on both ends”?
That’s too timid. The “Washington Bloodthirsty Savages” would make America Great Again… again.
By 2029 the GOP may have entrenched their coup by "legal" methods Gerrymandering-permitted by MAGA judges Changes in citizenship laws and deportations Quashing dissent by jailing protesters And radical "interpretation" of the Constitution We still don't fully comprehend the danger America faces
Frog, meet scorpion.
Shhh. If they think it’s safe, they’ll move to the city.
“‘It became very clear then that [Epstein] and Donald were really, really good friends and spent a lot of time together,’ Williams said.” www.theguardian.com/us-news/2024...
Can someone please explain how someone deported to a prison in El Salvador or Sudan gets to go home? There’s no trial, so no sentence, no probation, etc. — is it for life?
Correction — you can kill brown people.
These are not serious reservations. These are symbolic, empty words to make it seem as though they’re thinking seriously about policy, before doing exactly what everyone knows they’re going to do.
Does someone need to remind the AG what a “fact” is?
This is what qualifies as expert analysis? Please return to your mothballs, you fake.
All this so your kid doesn’t have to sit next to a black kid?
Let’s maybe not replace all human indexers/transcribers with AI just yet. I uploaded some Polish State Archives’ cursive Russian language birth registrations from the mid-1800s into ChatGPT, and it super confidently produced 0% correct dates, places, or persons.
Simple: boycott Dunkin’ Donuts. See if he likes $0 an hour.
Smile, divert, lie, repeat.
So trump will mobilize the National Guard to hunt down migrant children, but not to find American children swept away in a flood they should have been warned about?
It’s apparently the wrong age to care about fellow humans. Aggravated self-interest is winning the day.
Define hack.
They must be so proud.
In the race to power the world, China is far ahead of everyone on clean-energy technology. Its lead is growing fast.
Is that a hint of diaper I detect?
I am astounded at the level of self-loathing Clarence Thomas must harbor to so zealously facilitate the whitening of America.
They should revoke his Kennedy.
It’s a game. Every time he says that, JD has to sodomize a couch.
“There’s been a run on kneepads in aisle 6…”
Tell us you don’t know your job without saying those words.
Simple and sad accounting of mid-nineteenth-century Ireland: “dead or gone to America.” #genealogy
In eastern Europe, town, county, or even country have been quite fluid :)
The “Thomas and Ann” listed as parents in the death record index for an Australian relative was “Thomas and Unknown” on the actual certificate. Darn.
He doesn’t care how he is remembered as long as he is remembered.
I hope he’s talking about Prince Spaghetti Day, ‘cause that is too much already.
Make America Healthy Again.
Uncanny
$80 million could have been spent on something other than embarrassed troops, bad covers, a sad clown falling asleep in his soggy diapers.
I’d say Melania looks thrilled, but who can fucking tell…?
One way to honor members of the armed forces is to not call them “losers and suckers”. Just sayin.
Best ever! #ObamaGOAT #BidenSecondGOAT #TrumpIsTheNothingMan
That is some tiny dick energy right there.
And there you have it: apnews.com/article/trum...
Who could have possibly foreseen this?
💙My Forever President!💙
What about lip fraud? Is that cause?
Hypocrisy. Leave it to Leavitt.
Of course she WON!! The current Trumpster fire has already alluded to it.
{ cursor: 🖕;}
Someone please educate our commander-in-chief that when at war, you blow up the other guy’s airplanes. Thanks.
Biden has cancer. Trump is a cancer.
This husk of a human is accruing bad karma faster than the glaciers can melt.
The bill House Republicans passed on Thursday would add an estimated $3.3 trillion to the national debt as written. Here's a look at the cost or savings for nearly everything in the bill, as estimated by the CBO.
Having experienced a moving performance of Porgy and Bess in Charlotte a couple years back, I am disappointed to hear it is scheduled for the Kennedy Center. Will seating be segregated?
Michelle and I are thinking of the entire Biden family. Nobody has done more to find breakthrough treatments for cancer in all its forms than Joe, and I am certain he will fight this challenge with his trademark resolve and grace. We pray for a fast and full recovery.
Beneath human.
Points to the Cromwellian soldier who described the Burren area of Clare/Galway as “country where there is not water enough to drown a man, wood enough to hang one, nor earth enough to bury one”.
It's almost as if granting a criminal blanket immunity was a bad idea.
Disgusting. They chew up insane quantities of airtime castigating Biden for the Afghanistan exit and now this.
Article I, Section 9, Clause 8: “no Person holding any Office of Profit or Trust under them, shall, without the Consent of the Congress, accept of any present, Emolument, Office, or Title, of any kind whatever, from any King, Prince, or foreign State.”
