This is absolutely outrageous. Reality in the Smithsonian used to be reality the public could believe. Now, it is merely what won’t makeMAGA unhappy.

Good morning Brenda and breakfasters. I’m too groggy to share any witticisms this morning. I just need coffee. ☕️☕️☕️

Good morning Jaye. Have fun vacationing.

Hi Jaye. I hope you’re having a great vacation.

I’d like to solve the puzzle Pat. I know Pat isn’t there anymore, but I don’t know the new person’s name.

Hi Jaye. I hope your day is going great.

I just saw the Pfizer commercial urging older people to get vaccines which uses a RAMONES!! song as the only sound. Punk sure has come a long way in fifty years. #punk #punkrock #punkmusic

To this administration there is no difference between defending the Constitution and trying to overturn it. If Ashli Babbitt doesn’t convince you, what about the ordered restoration of the R. E. Lee portrait at West Point?

Good morning Brenda and the #BreakfastCrew I’m ready to sit around all morning sipping coffee. Perhaps munching on a pastry or two. I should be functional by noon.

I’ve been asleep for the last week or so. I was wondering if I missed it. Did they finally release the Epstein files? #ReleaseTheEpsteinFiles

More than just leadership. We need new Democrats. Some younger, more progressive senators. I applaud Durbin for knowing it was time to step down.

Sounds good.

I am a Constitutional originalist when it comes to guns. I believe everyone should be allowed to have as many front loading muskets as they want. After all, that’s what the framers foresaw.

Good morning. I’ll be awake any time now.

I've been busy today Brenda. Just saw your post. Of course I made sure to get s'mores. Hope your day is going great.

A statistics question. If church school kids are in the church, not the school, for class prayers should we blame the gun nuts for a school shooting or a church shooting? I wonder what the NRA and the GOP would say?

Good morning all! I’m in a feisty mood this morning. Let’s all work to defeat the Orange Ogre’s oligarchy.

Too many seem to be okay with it. They and others keep coming up with excuses for the Orange Ogre’s dictatorial actions.

Good morning everyone! My feet are up, the dog is laying where they'd go, Jonathan(sp?) Capehart and Eugene Daniels are interviewing Brandon Johnson, mayor of my old home town. It's going to be another great day....... I think.

In this hypothetical is the statement that Trump is the most efficient fascist in the history of the United States presidency considered complimentary?

Absolutely dinner tonight, Jaye. And brisket chili from the leftovers.

Good morning Jaye! I hope you have a great day. There’s a brisket on the smoker so you know it will be a good day here.

I’ve been busy. Did Trump release the Epstein files? Not even to distract from what a disaster the Putin meeting was?
Neal (@draznnl.bsky.social) reply parent
Good morning Brenda. Can I get a sippy cup of coffee Jaye?
Neal (@draznnl.bsky.social) reply parent
The whole never let the stench leave the GOP thing was said during Watergate. It didn’t take long for folks to forget. We just need to beat them so badly now that it takes a generation for them to recover.
Neal (@draznnl.bsky.social)
I’m still wondering, when is the DOJ releasing the Epstein files? Does anyone know the date? I want to clear my schedule. It should be simple: redact the victims’ identities and make them public. #EpsteinFiles #Epstein
Neal (@draznnl.bsky.social) reply parent
Almost perfect. The ass kickers were 15 not preteen.
Neal (@draznnl.bsky.social)
Just wondering, as I am wont to do, but just wondering, has anyone here seen the damn Epstein files lately? Ever? Wanna share?

Don’t worry Brenda. I take breaks from politics. That’s when I drive myself to distraction watching the Cubs play.

Good morning Brenda. Sorry that I can’t join you in the pool, but I’m spending my Sunday morning watching the political shows on TV and getting angry about the lunatic who is president.

The #Cubs are all wearing number 23 in memory of Ryne Sandberg. It would just be more appropriate if they were 70’s style v-neck pullovers.

First, I had to do a search of manosphere to find out what it is. Why would any thinking, breathing person not hate it? Misogyny. Anti-feminism. What could possibly be right about that kind of crap? Yeah, mark me as a manosphere hater.
