So, it appears even suggesting the older members of Congress may have actually accomplished things, while agreeing that it's time for them to go, is a bridge too far for some.
I'm liberal. I'm ginger. I'm a Boomer (deal with it). I despise MAGA.

OK yes, the Boomers left in Congress need to go, but "clean up" from them "again"? Who exactly do you think paved the way for AOC, Pete Buttigieg, Jasmine Crockett et al? Yes, Boomers have had their moment and they need to pass the torch, but they weren't completely useless.
Amanda Holden and Alan Carr. Holy shit, I'm in trouble!
To be completely honest, I think unless a sitting leader is assassinated live on camera, every government around the world tries to get everything taken care of in terms of transfer of power before an official death announcement is made.
I would love to take credit for it, but I heard it on a podcast last week. Unfortunately, I don't remember which podcast it was.
Just how ill is Spray Tan Caligula? I mean, how likely is it that he makes it to the midterms?
Kept wondering why Elise Stefanik is waiting until after the November elections. No federal or state-wide elections, then it hit me. She's waiting to see if Andy wins in NYC. If he does, she runs knowing big business will back her with $$$$. If he doesn't, she'll find some excuse to back out.
Why undermine the argument? Why assume any of those women could be lying? Why not go with "these are some of the women accusing Spray Tan Caligula of sexual assault"?
You could have just posted the picture without undermining it with your statement.
Waiting room to get a CT scan 5 days before double mastectomy. Woman sitting there watching country music videos on YouTube. Wish I'd had the courage to say "Babe, I do not need to hear about pick-ups, beer, and small town hicks while sitting here contemplating my mortality, thank you very much".
Excellent!! I got it in one about a year ago and retired at that point.
OMG! Professor Fate has absolutely the best lines in that movie!!!
I always ask the "guns don't kill people" gang one question. How does the mass murderer shoot people to death without the gun?
If it makes you sad to stop, then don't stop. If it's a time issue, post when you can. Life is way too short to stop doing things that bring you joy.
Servalan would be proud of this.
My classes would love you!!
I live for the day when a reporter yells out, "What in the living fuck are you talking about?"
Next Tuesday would be excellent for me. It's the first day back at school after summer break (no kids until next Thursday) and I would love to start the year seeing the guy who drives a cybertruck & has a photo of Spray Tan Caligula on his desk crying as his world collapses.
Started teaching 40 years ago next week. Took a 12 year break & went back 4 years ago. Still can't sleep the night before classes start (and still get nauseous before Meet The Teacher night AND am a basket case before all classroom observations).
🤮
I teach in a high school. Trust me, I know at least a couple of hundred people who can talk about and name songs off of every album she's released since 1989. (Oh, if you plan on saying "high school kids don't count/aren't people" please just fuck off instead)
Born in 1963 Graduated HS in 1981 Survived breast cancer in 2022 Turned 62 this year
You could cut out every word from "to" through "subway" and the sentence still works.
Lost my grandfather and my mother to congestive heart failure as well and when I saw the God-Emperor's ankles and hands, I recognized it immediately. He'll be on diuretics so strong they must be changing his diaper every half hour.
Thank you for bringing this account to my attention! Absolute perfection!
Crossed the border 3 times since June. Going into Canada, at least 20 minutes in line each time (most recent-Rainbow Bridge-cybertruck was denied entry🥳) Coming back into the US, no line twice and a 15 minute line yesterday. Keep up the good work Canada!! (Thanks for pissing off Elise Stefanik!!)
If this character turns out to be as creepy as the most recent episode I watched, I'm in deep 💩
I'm a teacher and I still took the day off when my son started kindergarten (luckily the kindergartners started a week after the other schools in the district). No way was I able to teach other people's kids that day.
Where in the hell are the reporters saying "Excuse me, where did you vote that required you to provide your license plate"? When are they going to call this crap out?
Me: "Why do you behave in this class but not others?" Students: "We don't want you to get mad." Me: "What do you think I would do if I got mad?" Students: "We definitely don't want to find out." Me: "That's the sweetest thing you could ever say to me!"
My mom would have been thrilled to know that the actresses who played Jennifer (secretly her favorite character) in Search For Tomorrow and Etta in Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid are friends in real life! She adored actresses who played strong female characters (and so do I!!)
I can't watch it without bursting into tears. Same with Madam Secretary, and don't get me started on Papa Pope's speech in the final episode of Scandal. youtu.be/CJLSQ8InDYk?...
Well, let's just remember this guy from the January 6 gang.
Grew up in suburbs of Albany in '70's Started teaching career in Adirondacks (Exit 25) in '85. One school in the area had 1 African-American kid enrolled. Listening to the locals, you would have thought we were all going to be murdered in our beds. I lasted 4 years then left the country.
I ask my husband that question every morning.
Just got back from France. My husband decided to try the andouillete. It looked like a giant penis on the plate. Even the waitress couldn't keep a straight face! He managed about a third of it then asked if he could have some of my steak.
Oh God, balut. I worked at a high school on an airbase in the Philippines that had a Balut Club. To join, you had to eat one at lunch. I taught a few new members right after that lunch. I couldn't get within 10 feet of them without retching.🤢
It took me years to realize that I could buy popsicles in the winter!
Peer pressure among teachers isn't new. I've worked with teachers who have a room and a half of crap crammed into 1 classroom. My minimalist view was looked down on by many (except kids, 1 kid went so far as to come in my room on the 1st day and mumble "Thank fuck, Ms E's room gives me a headache")
I'm still trying to figure out who the hell Sydney Sweeney is.
Born and raised in Albany. Andy despises Albany because he knows every state worker who had to deal with him and/or his office knows exactly how much of a bully he truly is. He can't stand people who don't buy his bullshit.
My response to "When they go low, we go high" is "Fuck that shit. When they go low, we go lower and fucking kneecap them".
I teach high school science and I've lost count of the number of teenage girls who tell me they're envious because I'm post menopausal! When I told them I had breast cancer and would be taking an estrogen blocker, 3 girls mumbled "Lucky".
So, what are the odds that instead of running for NY governor, Elise Stefanik decides to leave Congress to get a job on Fox News because that appears to be the only avenue to power for her?
I inherited a desk from a teacher who appeared to have an unhealthy obsession with hole reinforcers for notebook paper. There must have been 20 unopened boxes of them. (and don't get me started on the 15 unopened boxes of green felt tip pens he also had)
American here. Just got back from 2 weeks in France. Flew Air Canada from Montreal to Paris. Didn't trust American air traffic control. 20 minutes to get across border into Canada. Exactly 2 other cars crossing into US on Tuesday. Even Americans don't want to travel around America.
Or the balls or the kneecaps
Donny is, first & foremost, a coward. This is the man who hid in a bunker because there were protesters in the area. If he really thought he was in danger, there is a 0% chance he would stand there, raise his fist, and expose his chest. He would have curled up into a ball and screamed in terror.
I also apologize for making my original comment without checking your profile to see what is acceptable to you first.
I'm sorry you think by speculating about the possibility Donny raped his own daughter that I don't find it revolting.
Do I wish Donny was gone? Yes Do I wish he raped his daughter (or anyone else for that matter)? No Do I think he is a rapist? Yes Do I think he is capable of raping his daughter? Also, yes
I really want to believe Ivanka would be the bridge too far for MAGA, but sadly, you will probably be proven correct.
Today's question: Why isn't Ivanka out there defending her dad against all these allegations? She was glued to his side during his first reign of terror. Where is Ivanka??
I will always think that Melanie is hanging on because she gets a bigger payout as the widow rather than as just another ex-wife.
I find it very interesting that none of Donny's grandchildren are ever seen around him. It's almost as if they're being kept away from him (like Marla Maples moving to the west coast with Tiffany rather than staying in NYC).
Let's be honest. If the video is Donny raping girls, MAGA will blame the girls. There is only 1 girl who would end Donny. . . . . . Ivanka.
Thank you for bringing up that point. It is important to keep information free to all. As CBS & ABC have already bent the knee, I'd be happy for Colbert to replace Fallon on NBC.
The moment I saw those ankles, I knew exactly what it is. My grandfather and my mother both had congestive heart failure so it was obvious.
I would love to see Colbert, John Stewart, Trevor Noah, Samantha Bee, and John Oliver team up on HBO or Netflix or whoever has the balls to let this group take down the God-Emperor.
I will always think that the big "falling out" that Donny claims he had with Epstein was over Ivanka. I think Epstein tried it on with her but Daddy didn't want to share.
Donny's just looking for a quick cash settlement, but I don't think he understands how many billions Rupert is planning to make on keeping this story alive.
I am loving the fact that Head Cheerleader Elise Stefanik, who used to be standing just behind her God-Emperor in every picture, is now no longer anywhere to be seen. When she got dumped by the quarterback the night before the homecoming dance, she must have been told she is no longer necessary.😁
This is how to fight back.
You know he's just looking for an out of court settlement, but I can't see Rupert Murdoch giving up this cash cow that easily. He'll make millions on keeping the story alive.
Thank you! The berserker biting his shield is my favorite, but the queen looking like WTF is more me right now.
The God-Emperor is going to sue Rupert? Good luck with that. Murdoch will be making billions off this story.
According to her, he had repented of his sins, so it was her duty to forgive him. It was like the bigger the sin she forgave, the more "God points" she earned.
I worked with a woman who said "He's a righteous man and it's my duty as a Christian to forgive him." Luckily she got a new job a few weeks later so I didn't have to poison her coffee.
Hello from 16 hours later. We're all getting really tired of this "it's happening NOW" or "what I know is going to destroy MAGA completely. Stay Tuned" or "major announcement imminent" crap. Either put up or shut the fuck up.
Jeannette should be having a lovely Parisian birthday surrounded by her loving family. May her memory be a blessing to all, especially those of us who share her birthday.
Where is the reporter with the balls to say "Name them"?
I stopped listening to Radio 1 in 1995. I'll give them credit though, the day Freddie Mercury's death was announced I wouldn't have made it through that day without the Radio 1 DJ's giving listeners the opportunity to air their grief.
My first day in the UK was the day of the attempted coup in Russia in 1991. The first news report I saw was Newsround. I was blown away at how concise, informative, and calm the report was and how it didn't talk down to kids. The US would be a different country if we had grown up with it.
My great-greatgrandmother was killed in the explosion. My grandmother heard the explosion in Truro and my great-uncle was an American soldier in Halifax at the time helped with the recovery. These pieces need to be displayed to honor those lost and those affected.
Not to make everyone feel old or anything, but Live-Aid was 40 years ago today.
I believe the phrase we are all looking for here is "boo-fucking-hoo".
This is the correct answer.
Whelp, if any one action proves beyond the shadow of a doubt that Donny is top of the list of Epstein clients, it is surely screaming that Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama wrote it. What I don't get is why he's upset about the list. Does he really think MAGA will turn on him? They haven't so far.
Parents bought a house in 1964. Deed had my father's name and "spouse" on it. Paid off the mortgage in mid 1980's. Went to county clerk's office to put my mother's name on the deed. Guy asked MY DAD why HE wanted to do that. My mom very politely pretty much told him to f✓¢k off.
I've been waiting for this post! That was the first thought I had when I saw the name of the place.
Wouldn't surprise me.
My thoughts exactly
One can hope!! 🤞
The betting is it's either men or one of the women isn't white but is pregnant. Mrs. Paxton is, by all accounts, homophobic and racist.
It's either men or one of the women isn't white but is pregnant. From what I understand, Mrs. Paxton is homophobic and racist, you know, like all god-fearing MAGA women are.
Oh there is a story there just waiting to explode!!
I taught middle school science until a week before my son was born. Literally the only thing I remember of those last few weeks is looking down at my ankles and wondering how they managed to look like my grandmother's ankles (which were perpetually swollen).
Double mastectomy - November 16, 2022. First Mountain Dew post-op - December 24, 2022. Magnificent is the correct description
One of my favorites!
Had to scroll way too far for this answer!! music.youtube.com/watch?v=uw_t...
MAGA aren't going to turn against their God-Emperor. He could live stream getting a BJ from Barron in the Oval and MAGA would praise him for inspiring such devotion from his son.
Quelle fucking surprise
The thing is MAGA don't care if their God-Emperor is in the files. FFS, Donny could live stream getting a BJ from Barron in the Oval and MAGA would gleefully state it just shows the devotion his son has for him. Epstein files have as much chance of bringing Donny down as the Mueller report did.
Honest question, does anyone actually think MAGA would turn against Donny because his name is on the list because I don't think they would. Collins & Murkowski would be "concerned" but the rest of them would turn it into a badge of honor & Ma & Pa MAGA would blame the victims for "enticing" Donny.
Just a few quick questions, what exactly does everyone think would happen if the Epstein client list was actually released? Does anyone honestly think MAGA would demand Donny leave office? That raping children is a bridge too far for them? If so, what makes you think that?
Just posting this for no particular reason youtu.be/qFTVh3oyilE?...
I will be referring to the detention center in Florida as "Alligator Auschwitz". Feel free to explain why I'm wrong.
Blue Jays fan here. Thank you for helping us.
Last week was my first week of vacation.
I find it really interesting that Elise "I Never Really Wanted To Be UN Ambassador Anyway" Stefanik is not anywhere to be seen in this picture. You'd think, as head cheerleader for Donny, she'd be front and center celebrating this huge win.
