I just ate a huge dinner and won't have breakfast for at least 12 hours. I hope I don't die of starvation overnight.
Appreciate good books, good journalism, good sense, good humor, good thoughts, and bad poetry. Egalitarian, open-minded within reason, radical centrist currently caucusing with Democrats. And so on and so forth.

Lock him in a room with this little play set and let him pretend he's a big, brave soldier. He can have two.
Good time to note that seven Supreme Court justices are Catholic.
Have we had a nasty Trump-toot yet?
Garbage from Hobby Lobby plus a couple of cans of off-brand gold spray paint equals a cheap attempt to pretend he lives at the Palace at Versailles.
Put him in charge of his boss's security detail.
I'll bet the seven Catholic justices on the Suprem Court found his joke hilarious.
... "shared sacrifice*"... * does not include mansions, yachts, private jets, golf trips.
They are when you're a perverted bastard.
Promoted himself from Colonel Sanders and Burger KIng.
Hard to believe The Onion is still in business. It's become almost impossible to write satire.
Sure. Let's put the sadistic ghoul with a hard-on for concentration camps in charge of national security. What could possibly go wrong?
Really Fucking Krazy RFK
He's been trying to mimic Versailles with a can of gold Rustoleum since the 1980s.
Sounds like a third grader giving a book report on the book he never read.
Very Biblical, actually.
Since Amazon begs us for reviews, perhaps we should just flood the ratings comments with "overpriced by $XX.xx due to Trump tariff."
I honestly don't care what his politics or political aspirations are at this point. It's refreshing to see a politician speak his mind without equivocating or giving an inch of ground.
Tomorrow Leavitt promises to play a quick game of Fuck, Marry, Kill.
Dems should wake up every morning and draw lots as to who will file today's articles of impeachment based on yeaterday's infractions. Plenty to go around.
I'm somewhat jaded because I used to shop at Vons until I finally got fed up enough to drive to a better store out of my way. They did this every couple of years with no rhyme or reason and you had to hunt down help.
I firmly believe that grocery stores do this regularly so that you have to wander around to find things. The more you wander, the more you put in your cart.
Infringement for thee, but not for me.
There are a lot of Jesuit scientists, including in the fields of astrophysics and the environment. They are quite able to embrace all scientific knowledge, if only as a way to better understand their God. Social justice is a big deal to them and they see science as a way of achieving that.
Pope Francis was a Jesuit. I've often felt that Jesuits, if not actually atheists, had some doubts, but thought Jesus was a wise man whose teachings they felt they could dedicate their lives to.
He wore that fucking blue suit (even one of his brighter blue ones!) so he would stand out in the sea of black. Typical.
I'm sort of surprised that Trump didn't just walk out when Zelensky got priority seating and applause.
I'll bet "they" called him "sir."
Where are the articles of impeachment? I know they would go nowhere, but they should be written up and documented anyway. House Dems should take turns filing them every time there is an impeachable offense. Plenty of opportunities for all to get their shot at initiating one or two.
During the meeting, Johnson's son got several alerts on the porn avoidance app he shares with his dad.
As long as he can fill his golf motels with people forking out big bucks in exchange for favors, what doe he care?
Will there be a Tucker Carlson ball tanning contraption?
Passive eugenics. Directly killing "undesirables" is so last century. Just take away food, shelter, medicine, and the support they need to survive and let nature take its course.
Gilded: A thin veneer of flashy gold paint used to cover an inferior surface and flaws. Much like Trump's makeup.
That was her lip gloss money that got stolen.
It's me. I'm paying the millions of protesters. Your check's in the mail. Sorry for the delay. My hand's a bit sore.
I have no problem with Maher going to the WH. It could have been an opportunity for him to acknowledge that Trump is above all a showman and the show he performed for Maher was that of a reasonable, affable, sensible person. Maher should have seen through that and blown it apart. But he got played.
Everything JD Vance touches...
Ma and Pa MAGA are losing their jobs, their farms, their homes, and their retirement portfolios, but -- Hot Damn! -- they can afford Easter eggs this year!
Trump and his entire family are simply cheap shit spray painted with off-brand gold spray paint.
Certainly not contempt arrests will be made under this administration, so this is our best hope. Maybe a future administration will use this record to set us back on the right track.
It's great that these judges are taking a stand, but who is going to make the arrest when they refuse to comply? The Bondi DOJ? They'll just ignore judicial decisions they don't like and who's going to stop them?
So who will arrest the US Marshalls?
It worked for ICE, so why not?
And then will Bondi arrest herself?
And who will make the arrest? The Bondi DOJ?
Put him in charge of the president's security detail.
Congrats! I'm a crossword junkie and really looking forward to this one! Thanks for the link.
Everyone, including Bill Maher, knows that Trump is despicable human being, but an accomplished performer and manipulator. Maher was played. I hope he comes to understand that.
Everyone (even you) knows that Trump is an actor, a performer, a manipulator. You were played. He won.
I have no degree in psychology, but that smarmy, condescending preacher voice is a dead giveaway.
He looks very "natural." Maybe his current makeup artist used to be a mortician.
Junior, Eric and Jarod are day trading their asses off.
Big, beautiful market manipulation.
Big, beautiful market manipulation, the likes of which we have never seen before. Follow the money.
Stay cool and calm and pay no attention as they quietly move money from your retirement accounts into their pockets. When the stock market rebounds, most of the money will have cooly and clamly shifted upward.
"YMCA" has been replaced by: www.youtube.com/watch?v=3tXJ...
",,, it'll be there for you to use the next day" unlike the miners themselves or the planet.
Groceries? What are groceries? Everyone knows if you're hungry, you just call room service ot send one of your staff out for KFC or a Big Mac.
I am convinced that intentionally crashing the stock market and domestic and world economies is a deliberate ploy to quickly move wealth into the pockets of Trump and his oligarch cronies around the world. Once the desperate are driven out, they will buy everything at fire sale prices.
This is simply retaliation against a perceived lewd and lascivious species because of those two male penguins in the Central Park Zoo who had the audacity to raise an orphaned chick together.
This wonderful man would never let his 94 yo MIL starve. The solution is just for all those old people who rely on Social Security to make sure they have billionaire sons-in-law. Use you brains, people!
If you're too old, incapacitated, ill, or poor to get yourself to a Social Security office and wait in line for 6 hours, who need you anyway? Why are you breathing air that belongs to "producers?"
Bunch of sissies thinking they deserve clean air and water at the government's expense. Air and water filters for your homes and businesses are widely available. Why don't you just give up all that avocado toast and Starbucks and install those and quit whining? Snowflakes...
Apparently depriving a multi-billionaire of a few bucks is much, much worse than depriving Grandma of her entire means of support, people of their jobs, and kids of food.
I saved over $200 this week by not buying groceries. We're quite hungry and a little weak and lightheaded, but my checking account looks great! Thinking of not making the house payment this month for even more savings!
And simple math tells us that 47% are morons.
This would have bigger repercussions than people realize. Government docs would no longer be available in other languages. Private companies would no longer be encouraged to communicate in other languages. This would put people not fluent in English at a disadvantate... which is the point.
Yeah, yeah, yeah... and Diet Coke is the official drink, and KFC is the official food, and golf is the official national sport, and Depends is the official adult diaper, and extra small is the official condom size...
SOTU: All democrats (and allies) should wear black. Remain seated as he enters. Once he takes the podium, stand and turn their backs. Remain standing, backs turned, heads bowed and silent during his entire blathering. Bonus points for an upside-down U.S. flag on the back of their jackets.
Why aren't the House democrats filing articles of impeachment every time he does something illegal? Yes, they would go nowhere at this point, but it would be an official chronicle of every crime and/or misdemeanor. At least it would be doing SOMETHING and might just catch the media's attention.
They've always been too concerned with pleasing everyone which makes it impossible to please anyone. They're way too "nice" and won't fudge a rule let alone break one. Bringing nerf darts to a gun fight.
I have a hard time even reading their post any more. They just tell me the latest horrible thing he's done, which I already saw, and then wring their hands and tell me how terrible he is. Really? Who knew?
At a bare minimum, they should be filing articles of impeachment every time he does something illegal. Yes, they would go nowhere at this point, but there would be a chronicle of all the high crimes and misdemeanors that have occurred. Maybe the media would pay attention to those.
All wear black. When he takes the podium, stand up and turn your back. Remain standing with back turned and head bowed during the entire regurgitation of bullshit. Bonus points if your suit jacket has an upside down U.S. flag on the back.
Yawn. Wake me up when you have some plans.
Wringing their hands, clutching their pearls, and telling us "this is terrible" as if they'd stumbled upon something we didn't already know.
He invited them over, got a snack for himself, and then let them watch him play.
That's what he's there for. He's the shiny, glittery distracton.
Guantanamo? Isn't that the off-site facility where constitutional rights don't apply and the U.S, military can do whatever the fuck it wants to do with no oversight?
Does the Pentagon have a safe word?
I hate that smarmy, condescending, preacher voice. I'm sure the transition from religious apologist to Trump apologist wasn't that difficult for him. Mysterious ways and all that.
Hey, it worked for the Supreme Court.
The basis of religion is that it can manifest as whatever your conscience dictates. Budde's Jesus is gentle, kind, and compassionate, as apparently is she. Vance's Jesus is an Inquisitor and a Crusader, allowing him to have someone else to blame for his own bigotry and cruelty.
He's not in charge. He's just the distraction, the useful idiot who is shamelessly willing to do or say anything as long as it puts money in his pocket. Look behind the curtain.
It's like dealing with an alcoholic. Sometimes they just have to reach rock bottom on their own. Stop enabling and let them hurry up and get there, sooner on their own rather than later with our help.
Looks like Jeffries will "kumbaya" the shit out of our problems. Get a grip, Jeffries.
This is beyond frustrating. We need representatives with their feet planted firmly on the ground, formulating actual plans, rather than engaging in pissing contests over whose imaginary friend will swoop in and save the day.
I hope they have a safe word.
I have two library cards (local and state-wide) which give me access to hundreds of thousands of ebooks and audio books. I have not yet found something I want to read unavailable in at least one of them.
As if being caught in yet another lie would embarrass him. He's shameless.
What was the ICE plan here? Hold the kids hostage and then arrest the parents when they came to pick them up? This is beyond disgusting. abc7chicago.com/post/us-immi...
Mike Johnson would have made a great Inquisitor or Crusader. His version of Christianity only, by force if necessary. www.newsbreak.com/raw-story-20...
"If you're rich enough, like me, you can personally survive disasters and rebuild. If you're not, well, that's your own fault and, quite frankly, fuck you."
Mike Johnson would have made a great Inquisitor or Crusader. Christianity by force.
Biden refused to turn over the code.
The Spanish and Portuguese Inquisitions and the Crusades also attempted to unify people uncer Christianity. By force.
Mike Johnson's "Christianity" is reminiscent of the Crusades and the Inquisitions.
The funny thing, not sad at all, is that he stole that line from someone talking about him.
