Still searching for my redeeming quality, which got lost at the airport in 2019.

Them: “Cities are all rotting hellscapes!” Cities:
JD Vance is made of 100 percent synthetic material, with a coating of smarm to protect from sincerity.
One might assume the no votes are so high because they're the ones on the receiving end. Imagine the ridicule Trump fans are getting when they dare step outside the cocoon.
We probably didn't need a study to tell us this, but...
If only there was a way to keep children from being shot and not bankrupt their families if they're lucky enough to survive.
Lynx coach Cheryl Reeve on the Minnesota shooting: "The sad thing is we can't sit here and tell them that help is on the way. Because we're not going to do a damn thing about it."
Translation: "The fact that we're hanging on by a thread clearly shows there's nothing to worry about."
That's a nice lineup of happiness for one day.
Alas, "extremely alarmed" under the Susan Collins Warning System means she'll only watch one episode of Murder She Wrote before bed tonight.
Father Michael Louis Pfleger a priest at the Sabina Catholic Church, a Black parish in Chicago's Auburn Gresham neighborhood has a message for Trump! Before you dare speak about any violence in Chicago, look into your mirror, and address the violence coming from the White House! 🔥
Absolutely fabulous.
imagine being so maniacally racist that you side with the fire over the firefighter
That's really scary, Cathal. Thanks for the education.
It's just a breathtaking combo of insecurity and heartlessness that boggles the mind.
Maybe the solution would be to... I don't know... just man up and deal with the shit you wrought?
"If I want to rape you, I will?" What kind of degenerate fuck talks like this?
Correct, George. Annihilation and surrender are the main ingredients. Negotiation is just the parsley to make the plate look pretty.
"What people desire in their leaders is authenticity and fight." Exactly. It's no more complicated than this.
But isn't "There Hasn’t Been Any Lessons Learned" the chorus of our fight song?
Compelling thesis, Ted, though I think you're underestimating the power of a tuna fish on whole wheat.
Mike Johnson has his son monitoring his gay porn consumption, so he's probably even too weird for the Gay Republican Club.
It's all because those tiny little alpha men can't make the smallest sacrifice to save children's lives, and we hardly hear a peep out of Democrats concerning gun control anymore.
A shitty, $65,000-a-year school where a computer teaches your kids for just two hours a day is the ultimate MAGA money grab. Watch the goobers line up to sacrifice their children.
Laura Loomer makes you wonder when the mastery part of the whole Master Race thing is finally going to show up.
Democratic consultants are the same as white shoe lawyers. They reflexively advise caution on everything, because risk also means risking their monthly retainer, which is their ultimate motivator.
It can't possibly be a good plan if Trump doesn't get credit for it. Americans want made-for-TV drama, not crime fighting.
Drats! Our plan to steal Greenland's fishing secrets is thwarted! How devious can one isolated, peaceful country be?!
Crime stats are inanimate, emotionless, and only work on people who read, who now account for about 14 Americans. They're no match for rightwing propaganda, the endless lineup of crime podcasts, alpha males scared to even go to the Cheesecake Factory, and our innate tribal fear of The Other.
What are we gonna do there? Spy on the icebergs?
The villains may be villaining, but they will get no peace.
Correction, Roxane: It's a mediocre replica of the glorious diner food genre, loaded with kitsch in the hope you won't notice.
Couldn’t think of the word for kale so I ordered a “plate of green sadness” and they knew exactly what to bring.
Mike Luckovich. . We understand We know
Join the National Guard: It's just like getting sentenced to community service for a public drunkenness pinch!
America truly is the land of opportunity when you can make a living talking as if you're hermetically sealed in 1952.
This makes sense. They share a lot of common interests like being dicks to waiters and yelling at the neighbor kids over chalk drawings on the sidewalk.
I don't find them objectionable either, Rachael. But to most regular people we might as well be speaking Yiddish. If we want to connect with everyday voters, we have to speak their language, not insist that they speak ours.
That's an age-old trick that farmers and contractors have been pulling forever. Trump's just improving its effectiveness.
On the day we storm the Bastille, we mustn't forget to grab the consultants, lest they continue to breed.
You could feel it at the Social Security office here in Cleveland today. An understaffed building of dispirited workers with a room full of dispirited people waiting to be served. 'Merica!
I think you're look at this way too technically, Stem. You win a fight by winning hearts and minds, encouraging other people to fight with you. Schumer or Hakeem could rally millions to the cause if they wanted, because they have the platform.
Netanyahu, Putin and Trump are the new Axis of Evil. We should feel fortunate to have the dumbest one how hasn't figured out a way to kill in their volume. Yet.
🥴😳🥴
The fourth option is that he's always been a complete moron, an utter imbecile who could have only failed upward in a nation of morons.
Camille Zapata is a great patriot and American hero. I say the Rosary in her direction.
Sean's right. Anyone with a platform can be leading the fight -- i.e. AOC, Crockett, Sanders, Warren. All you need is a functioning spine and courage. Any excuse to sit on the sidelines is chickenshit.
Why is Lindsey Graham always excluded from these stories?
He's the perfect inspiration for an Adult Swim cartoon about a talking penis.
There's also a major sense of hopelessness that plays into it. We effectively no longer have a Supreme Court, gerrymandering radically tempers the people's will, and the height of Democratic opposition is Gavin Newsom's memes. Nobody rallies around milquetoast leaders.
This is proof of a good and loving God... and he's coming for that little prick.
I agree with Third Way in theory. We've developed our own language not to communicate with regular people, but to telegraph we're part of the in-crowd, the same way MAGA has. At least MAGA lexicon is based in plain English. We just come off as tight-asses and scolds.
This is the MAGA equivalent of a runway in Paris.
Flag burning is just an aimless sop for the goobers. They'll never notice that he doesn't have the authority and it will never happen. Being the King of Morons is the easiest job in the world.
Nothing shows MAGA's disconnect from reality more than celebrating a trust fund candy ass who's never been in a fight in his life as the benchmark for manhood and courage.
Very smart move by Moderna, though it's obvious that Canada is North America's only safe, stable country. We're just White Mexico now.
Republicans long ago bailed on any consistency in principles -- or principles at all.
When a 15-year-old girl punches out an alpha male, only nationwide suffering can pay for these sins.
Pritzker's just becoming more and more impressive. It's so heartening to see people like him finally emerging from the land of timidity that is the Democratic Party.
Agreed, Marisa. The Pritz is killing it here.
I love this tactic, calling out the media directly, repeatedly, bluntly. Only shame will lure it out from behind mom's apron.
True fighters are beginning to emerge from the abyss of the Democratic Party. The Pritz is busting out some serious gospel.
Trump is the tiniest man who ever lived, willing to sacrifice Abrego Garcia's life just because he's too small and insecure to admit he's wrong.
This is an intellectual mismatch. Wes Moore is Mike Tyson. Trump is a weird little guy yelling at a gas station attendant about Cracker Barrel's new logo.
The best path to peace is two sociopaths cheating at hitting a tiny ball around. Everyone knows that.
Spot on with the joy thesis, Deva. Mamdani's superpower is that he's absolutely infectious, the new and improved FDR. If only Democratic leaders weren't too insular to see the obvious.
The denial and delusion is breathtaking. How could we possibly be angry with a guy who has all the fire of a talking piece of sheetrock and presumes to be our leader?
Yaroslav had yet to step out of the flat when a ballistic missile slammed into the building. The staircase collapsed. His entire family was gone.
Maybe -- just maybe -- we can learn something for a guy who attracts lines down the block just to see him.
No one could have expected Trump to go to Vietnam. Imagine what that humidity would have done to his combover?
"I voted for a guy who vowed to be a dick to poor, foreign brown people, and now he's being a dick to my poor, foreign brown wife. Why hasn't somebody fixed this?"
Trump is one of the worst things to happen to the planet (with apologies to Netanyahu). He can't be trusted to keep his word no matter what deal is made.
Anyone under suspicion of the Reich -- no matter the reason -- must go. It's Goober Law.
The problem is that these guys have zero ideas for improving the lives of normal Americans. They're arsonists who only attack the ideas of others to get high on the fire.
Just when you thought you've encountered the worst human possible, another rears his head.
The good thing is that talk of a sociopath winning a Nobel only sounds legit in shitty, Third World countries like North Korea and America. A real country like Norway just laughs.
I dare say Ketanji Brown Jackson has ascended to National Treasure status.
Mamdani's the most infectious Democrat since FDR. He's genuinely thrilled to see everyone he meets, and it shows. He's like an intercontinental ballistic missile of good will. But it's almost impossible to replicate if you're Chuck or Hakeem, who wouldn't put in the effort anyway.
I think the main character thing is essential to the parody, Charlie. You can't do Trump without a bloated narrator trampling everything in sight with his ego.
The Pritz is bringing the big fire.
You could be right, Ernest. The consultant types are a pox on our house. I just want us to lose the sphinterism and hyper-caution and move toward people like Walz, Mamdani, or Jasmine Crockett, people who speak fluent American and feel genuine in whatever way is comfortable for them.
I'm not much for language policing, but we do have a huge problem with talking like tight-asses. We elevate language not to communicate with others, but to demonstrate we're up to date on the in-crowd's lexicon. It's one of the reasons we keep getting our ass kicked by inbreds and sociopaths.
Do not speak ill of the Reich.
Definitely not the asshole. This is her triumph after years of anguish. Only people who recognize the enormous beauty of this moment need be there.
John Roberts is just Mitch McConnell without the tortoise head.
Target's customer base is young professional women. But its CEO caved to inbreds, blowhards, halfwits, and 40-year-olds who live in their grandma's tool shed. Moral of the story: Frothing Twitter posts don't equate to buying power.
That's still better than growing up in Cleveland, where you measure time by when the river catches fire.
An elderly man blubbering incoherently in a golf cart is only "shock and awe" for those worried he that escaped from the nursing home.
😂🤡🥴
Newsom's gotta mix in a touch more battery acid to get the orange right.
It's like a football team proving its manliness by playing the rival school's mathlete team.
A cement garden is the perfect aesthetic for corporate diplomacy.
Superior investigative work, Detective Pikajew.
Alternative headline: "I Usually Take Great Joy in the Suffering of Others. But It's So Unfair When the Suffering Comes for ME!"
She seems to be forgetting the part where most of McCarthy's allegations were false -- and that he died in shame from hepatitis and cirrhosis of the liver. But, yeah, great American!
How wonderfully pernicious.
Vance sees Putin as a Russian Peter Thiel, a backup sugar daddy for the day he flees to a non-extradition country.
That's like saying "discrimination has been an unpleasant feature of America since its founding, but I can still get a dirty martini in Georgetown. Maybe it will get more people to think about the price of a dirty martini."
Why is Kristi Noem dressed like a UPS driver? Whoever's in charge of her cosplay costumes needs to be fired, pronto.
