I sincerely encourage Riley Gaines to do precisely that.
I've been meaning to write something on this for some. time but this is better than I would have written so read this, twice.
🤣🤣🤣
Every time I see that face I have to ask myself whether his mother had any children that survived birth.
Not for long, they haven’t invented a mirror yet that can tolerate 15, maybe 20 seconds, of looking at that. 🤮
Oh? His body caught the bullet, refused to let it go, and in so doing, kept others from harm?
Don’t bother Trump with trifles such as specific facts and laws…according to Trump, she has a look of being guilty of well, something.

Oddly, that reminds me that my mother complimented me when during Covid I grew a beard. Hmm… 😁
NEW: In a rare public appearance, Jack Smith spoke at length this week issuing a dire warning about Trump's weaponization of the Department of Justice. My latest: www.muellershewrote.com/p/new-jack-s...
Ouch, that is going to leave a mark.
Ah yes, a takeoff of the “Brown Bag Lunch” made so famous by Spiro Agnew during his time in elected office in Maryland.
Dana Carvey parodied George HW Bush on SNL — “Nah, wouldn’t be prudent” — the President called him up and they became friends. . Daryl Hammond imitated Clinton through his Presidency, including savage stuff during his sex scandal. Clinton invited him to do a “dueling Presidents” gag.
Great memories. If I recall, the SNL after George H.W. Bush died, after a few comedic video clips from prior shows, paid tribute to him.
Girl: "Grandpa, what did you do during Donald Trump's second presidential term?" Grandpa: "Well, sweetie, I wore a Charlie Kirk button, shared anti-trans memes on social media, and reported my neighbor's babysitter to ICE." Girl: *pulls plug*
Ooop!
The Trump administration follows a different structure -
Aaaand this is why Bondi has dismantled the public corruption unit at DOJ. It’s now pay to play

More. Prices are up across the board under Trump, and that includes the tribute made members & captains have to kick up too.
Wonder how much was Trump’s slice of the $50k.
Homan is probably saying to himself “damn, if I knew then that I would get a pass on a $50k cash bribe because it occurred in the prior administration, I would have held out for more.”
of course they shut it down. how they gonna keep a penny ante bribery case like THIS alive when trump’s out there accepting whole-ass planes from foreign governments.
That is actually the way I read it.
Katie is a lot of things, but…
The GOP gets then Senate Majority Leader McConnell, who unflinchingly supported its nominee for President, a rapist & serial criminal and adulterer who views being president only through the prism of payback & monetization. The Democrats get Schumer. Suckers. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/19/u...

Much like after the death of North Korea’s Dear Leader, the guilty will reveal themselves by not participating in the organized gatherings during the mourning period, or they participate but their sorrow isn’t genuine according to MAGA hierarchy.
When he runs for president, I fully expect him to take credit for some of the murders knowing that MAGA Christianity is impressed by flashy gratuitous murders of foreigners.
Fully agree and as true as that is, I thought my version would have greater impact on my daughter when she was growing up. 😁
First hand experience the shots (at least those in the 60’s) are not fun. Almost certain agonizing death even less. An aside, the doc got a twofer, not only did I pass out from the shots, my mother did too just from watching. 😁

We continue to kill people on boats in the ocean and Trump continues to ask people to believe they had drugs on board because he never lies. bsky.app/profile/meid...
Indeed, disgustingly proud of themselves too.
Since when did the U.S. start hating Greece?
“We can do this the easy way or the hard way” has me wondering why agency heads aren’t referred to as Captains.
This is hilarious. Even the Dutch are way ahead of us in seeing how bad things are in the United States with Donald Trump running amok and corporations capitulating to fascism. But, then again, the Netherlands has experience with being taken over by fascists.
COBB: “I think this is really tragic .. This will be 3.5 more years of vengeance.”
20 September 1926 | A Dutch Jew, Raphaël Bachrach, was born in Arnhem. He arrived at #Auschwitz on 27 January 1944 in a transport of 948 Jews deported from #Westerbork. After the selection, he was murdered in a gas chamber.
Trump “firing people until he finds someone who will bend the law to carry out his revenge has been President Trump’s pattern — and it’s illegal.” www.nytimes.com/2025/09/19/u...
Looking forward to the response by the previously capitulating law firms to Donny the Rapist’s upcoming demand they provide him pro bono representation on the appeal he will soon demand.

To be fair, Trump’s repeated promises about grocery prices going down focused on Day 1. He never mentioned that his policies would result in rising grocery prices after Day 1. l.smartnews.com/p-6eu5BYxq/B...
Wants cover for when they rule, yet again, for Trump and his demand for absolute power to do what ever he wants & whenever he pleases?

It is stuff like that that leaves me either empty inside or full of rage. Why can’t I write like that I ask myself. Truth be told, I begin my answer to myself, you’re a moron. 😁 Seriously, that is some funny stuff.

Trump has been reading up on his Charles Lindbergh again. But I kid, Trump doesn’t read.
Current leadership being what it is, I am not feeling great about Democrats this and next year. New Jersey and than some.
By Kennedy’s direction, the group will also be voting to bring back the uniform recommended be worn by medical personnel when seeing patients. I heard.
I'm pretty sure this justice department has made their stance on child exploitation very clear.
For far too long, the networks have been offering up milquetoast garbage together with some shows somewhat appealing. As they slide further in order to appease the Rapist in Chief, not at all looking forward to the networks going all in on their milquetoast.
🗣Louder!
Knowing they might be chopped next, “the court’s conservative majority has repeatedly allowed Mr. Trump to at least provisionally fire leaders of other agencies without stating a reason, despite statutes passed by Congress designed to ensure political independence.” www.nytimes.com/2025/09/18/u...
So he is disregarding Kirk’s advice to girls/young women to think of college as nothing more than a place to find a husband? Or his overt racism? Or that his form of unity excluded any form of empathy?

So many cowards and cynics on display right now. When the pendulum does swing back--and it will--don't forget where these sad and pathetic people stood in the hour of democracy's greatest need.
Silly Jimmy Kimmel. He should have just called for all homeless people to be killed and he’d still have a job.
Cool, everyone should live-tweet and post Kirk's own words and videos during the tribute that show him mocking and hating on Black people, immigrants, women, Muslims, and LGBTQ+ people. www.rollingstone.com/tv-movies/tv...

“I have absolutely no idea what this means, or what this is referring to, or what [you hope] to accomplish with [this prosecution].” Sounds akin to how a judge might respond to Bondi & team when they attempt to prosecute speech they don’t like as that there “hate speech” they keep speaking of.
Bessent sitting next to Queen Camilla? Hope he doesn’t find out she has been talking to Trump about him. Could be a repeat of his smack down of Pulte… “Why the f**k are you talking to the president about me? F**k you. I’m gonna punch you in your f***ing face.” apple.news/AihfzhwarRny...
2/2 Indeed, according to him “both transgender people and those associated with the trans community are suffering from mental disorders” and should be involuntarily locked up.
1/2 His focus isn’t speech as much as he is “now proposing that transgender people be mass institutionalized because ‘this is a cancer that's spreading across this country’ and we ‘have to get them off the streets,’ all while claiming that trans women ‘have an underlying level of aggressiveness.’”
Something is off and Paula doesn’t sound like herself, at all. Paula didn’t ask folks to send her money. Hmmm…
Rage posting? More like language Bondi should be investigating as hate speech.
“The Todd Blanche Theory of Law” - hilarious punchline…

Was his sexism far behind? He did recently explain to young women that the only reason they’re really going to college was to find a husband, no?
Same. Every time, every level.
Seems overly harsh, especially since Rush Limbaugh isn’t around to defend himself for being compared to the likes of Kash Patel. 😁
Donald Trump continues his relentless campaign to be named the pettiest drama queen who served as president. Ever.
