A good idea for dealing with ALL trolls.
The dems are always, always tumbling into the right-wing frame. Did ANY of them read Lakoff?
Christmas stuff in stores in September brings out my inner Andy Rooney.
He didn't write this. Herman Cain all over again.
The states' rights, local-control, big-bad-federal-government crowd seems to have scattered under the cabinets like roaches. Almost like they were never, ever serious about these sacrosanct precepts.
If they cared about winning elections as much as the GOP does, we wouldn't have this problem.
I have no problem wishing ill upon those who cause harm.
At this point, an anti-western coalition would include the US.
Anti-vax attitudes are ALL the evidence you need that conservatives are crackpots and sociopaths. Of course, there are many, many other data points. But that's the only one you need.
Waiting for Tim McVeigh Memorial Day.
It's 1020 EDT. Do you know where your president is?
It's the denial kicking in.
If we can protect our children with thoughts and prayers, why do our politicians have security details?
I had a troll here (since blocked) who insisted that trump's crackdowns didn't count because of covid masking five years ago.
It doesnt seem like it was so mini
For the lifetime media hound to avoid the media suggests a serious issue. VERY serious. I hope it's driving him even crazier.
I wish Biden had exploited it while he could. If only to lay out a few boobytraps for his successor. But norms uber alles.
Disco was a big part of the soundtrack to my adolescence. Just some of the most sweeping, uplifting music ever created.
How did Rudy Guiliani fracture vertebrate when he’s a spineless piece of shit?
Wonder what form the proof-of-life will take today.
But you can't get taxed on income you don't make! Checkmate libs!
Those of us who don't give the legacy media any time are better informed than most.
Happy Labor Day
I sent a thought.
My theory, since everybody has one, is that trump has covid. And given his age, baseline health, and previous infection, it's hitting him hard. To disclose that (a) he has covid, and (b) it's bringing him to death's door would be a massive PR disaster for the administration, at many levels.
I once worked with someone who was virulently against unions "because they're against his religion." He was an evangelical. I asked him where unions are condemned in the Bible. Never got an answer. Evangelicalism is a political movement using religion as a crutch.
Tom Harkin. An outstanding Senator for many years.
Does he know how WEAK and FEEBLE he looks?
If you can't find one single place to eat in a city of 8 million where you don't get dirty looks, maybe you're the asshole.
One of the many barriers trump has broken.
I'm sure all the churches that preach about the dignity of every human life will be all over this.
Encouraging AF
It's a subject-changer.
If Biden outlives trump, that would be poetic. If Biden outlives Tapper, that would be hysterical.
So what do the evangelicals do if it's the immigrants who wind up getting raptured?
This is not a "crime crackdown". May the media suffer trump's fate soon after he does.
Here's a reason not to get a vanity plate: your car's much easier to find if it ever winds up on one of those flashing amber alerts.
Any sightings today?
More than infinity? 😁
I hope Donald Trump is enduring every bit as much personal pain and suffering as he has inflicted upon others. No more, no less.
Evangelicals HAVE to make a big external show and display about being religious. Because nobody would possibly guess that from their behavior.
Roy Cohn was probably the most disgusting person of all time. But he's being challenged for his title.
When a guy whose entire life has been about being a media hound suddenly avoids the media for five days... I somehow doubt he's at a monastery.
The Republicans, always thinking of the children.
Where did they relocate the rounded-up DC homeless people to? Has anyone bothered to ask?
The NG can always tell him to go screw himself and walk off their jobs.
A person who bothers to move her car away from the gas pump and to station parking if she's going inside is a considerate person.
Religious fundamentalism is a crime against humanity.
Has he shown up anywhere today?
So when will Labor Day be replaced by Tim McVeigh Day?
Tim McVeigh will get his own Arlington plot. Mark my words.
Well yes. A truly free people listens to inept hacks.
Raddatz is state media. Fuck her. Bowser is an inept collaborationist. But Moore missed an opportunity to steer the conversation to what this is all REALLY about.
Rebelo with a cause
It wasn't just "performative", it was a deliberate wedge issue. They never cared about Gaza, and still don't.
If a white person uses the word "woke" unironically, it's a huge red flag that this person is not to be taken seriously.
Given how silent organized religion has been on the matter, I presume they're all supportive of making slavery cool again. That should fill up the pews.
This is probably my favorite Spector record. A great Brian Wilson feel to it.
I got up and reddit wouldn't load. But it was just another tease.
Imagine dropping the needle on this LP for the first time, hearing this lovely pop tune, and not being aware of the musical onslaught to follow.
For some reason, the funeral-procession opening scene in the Live And Let Die movie seems relevant today.
When he goes golfing, doesn't the media usually chase him around and drool over him like a lost puppy?
Is he referring to his death?
If he really is dead, his voters will expect him back in three days.
Imagine banning books over banning guns.
Dumb, evil people vote for dumb, evil officials.
To normal people, tyranny is lack of due process, voter disenfranchisement, and government censorship. To magats, tyranny is being expected to mask up during a pandemic, acknowledging the existence of people different from them, and an honest accounting of history.
Biden outliving Tapper would be even funnier.
I doubt he knows. He's kept in the thickest of bubbles.
Profiles In Republican Courage.
Trump's demise is not sufficient to turn this country around, but it is necessary. Vance doesnt have the trump secret sauce for keeping a cult together. He'll be worse in many ways, but easier to topple.
Is he talking about his death?
Somebody whisper into trump's ear that JD is the reason he's sick, because JD wants his job.
I've heard a lot of complaints about Portnoy.
I was a suburban guy all my life. Moved to the city about a decade ago. Ain't goin' back.
Soft secession is fine, but why stop there? Go for hard secession. Let the red states become Guatemala North.
Make Government Boring Again
He's even uglier without the beard.
The first sign of summer winding down is starting to have to check if the temperature outside is shorts-friendly. 🤨
Did Schiesskopf actually golf today?
Shorter of breath and one day closer to death...
When cult leaders die, their members often quickly follow. Let's hope.
We dont like it because the DNC punches left far more than it punches right.
Leadership.
Has anybody told trump how WEAK he looks?
Murphy's been one of the better dem actors, but why is this wimpy defensiveness so baked into the party's DNA? Rule One is not tumbling into the opposition's framing.
I hope Joe Biden outlives Jake Tapper.
Sending thoughts and prayers in trump's direction. That's all we need to do!
I'd give those messaging strategists the heave-ho.
Political leaders, this is how you do it.
"Orange man dead" is the headline I'm waiting for.
Goodness, if the President has a serious health problem I certainly hope he follows the expert medical advice of his Secretary of Health and Human Services
Blueballed again. But the buildup has to go somewhere eventually.
If trump wasn't working for Russia, what would he be doing differently?
I know it's a cliché to say the country is being run by petulant toddlers, but it's still good to document every piece of evidence.
No golf today, let's hope he's gone away
I want a picture of Joe Biden peering down on trump's casket.
And that includes his successor.
I'd love to see ANY trump crony arrested and thrown into an inner-city jail.
