My anniversary gift to my wife dematerialized into nothingness one year. That was the year I discovered the excitement of last-minute dinner reservations and the power of apologies. Now I just put a reminder in my phone...

Is this it? Have we reached the absolute stupidest bullshit that any non institutionalized person could utter point yet? Even those souless shitstains standing around him can't hide their pained expressions.
It's just an act of piracy in international waters, no big deal. 🙄
The health crisis? Look, he probably has one or more serious issues that are being covered up. However, if he had a bump, lump, or bruises that affected his appearance, he would disappear until makeup could cover it up. This is a guy who avoids rain because his hair looks bad...
Does anyone know who commands the largest National Guard in the country? You know the one from the State of Denial?
There's another Washington team that is paid to lose in a believable but hilarious fashion. The Trump admin are no Globetrotters though.
At some point, National Guard units from one state will be blocking the deployment of guard units from other states. If it is not clear what comes after that, you should go back to sleep for about 12 years or so.
Doocy playing the clip and that exchange raises my confidence that it is a stunt hoping to redirect the news cycle.
Word is the bone is very petite...
Is the Kremlin playing Swan Lake, or is Trump still alive?
Damn it. Graham was a legend. RIP 😔
Me: (shivers)
Some believe fervently in the 'read only tea leaves, consume only edibles' doctrine Probably not good journalism Also, thanks for following and reporting on 'certain individuals' so we don't have to...
As the duly appointed Ambassador of Betelgeuse, I approve of this alliance.
Thin-skinned dictators bleed out from papercuts and biting sarcasm A thousand deaths from a dozen cuts Easily bruised egos Hit them with facts Bruise them with truth Cut them with sarcasm Irascible assholes with fantastical claims get the firehose of facts and a blanket of lie retardant
I've listened to financial commentators talking about tarrifs as short-term inputs for inflation, but eventually being "absorbed" I find this to be at best out of touch, at worst, the financial equivalent of "legitimate rape" The absorbing is done by the 90% It's lost homes, lost jobs, lost futures
The vegetable market mafia is known to be amongst the most vicious of all syndicates. Never afraid to lay a beeting on enemies. Giving no peas to anyone who can't pass the mustard. These two are just the fellows to strong arm them into submission.
They are not going to stop until someone explains what NO means He doesn't understand NO because no is just the sound people make while he's taking what he wants His acolytes are delighted that ignoring NO works so well, it's like a magic trick to them It will take some doing, but no must mean NO
I am seriously starting to wonder if the CDC lv4 labs are still properly staffed/operated. There is an extremely high level of expertise in bioscience, biosecurity, operational security, and physical security required to maintain safe operation. The guy at the top thinks expertise is bad.
Some days, I feel like my southern friends are basically living out this:
Congress is now the Duma. Pass it on.
Alternatively, (and I'm just throwing this out for consideration) it still IS the best site for intelligent discussion, but overall, the bar is WAY lower everywhere. Fascism, fear, and desperation have that effect.
Also, dangerous, mendacious, griting cunt would get beeped. But, yes.
Hmmmmmmm, does this "Zellers" have a restaurant?
Information super highway replaced by the Ai monorail.
Just to be clear, there is no such thing as a "spare" kidney. There's a myriad of reasons, talk to a medical professional or biology professor, but the general gist is 2 is best. If you want to give the unbelievable gift of a living donation that's amazing, but there are risks involved. 2025,
Make America healthy again. The plain meaning of those words leads people to believe it should be a good thing, perhaps some bad ideas, but a good faith exercise. It is not If you kill off all the weak, sick, elderly you are left with a "healthier" America. Same plan as the Nazis, because -Nazis
Taking credit for other people's work is marginally better than destroying and/or refusing to complete the work I suppose? (2025 has a very low bar for "better")
Fascism is extremely bad for business. This is weird because wealthy and influential businesses are the "marks" in the fascist con game. Cracks begin to appear. Con men are a lazy, impatient lot. They start to smash and grab, nationalize. People need to apply pressure to those cracks.
Spew-tube.
If that's all it takes, it will be a grand bargain. I'm afraid the cost will be somewhat higher.
"I thought we'd give him a try because Bill Cassidy said to..." Sorry dead kids, your parents wanted the taxcuts. Epitath on Senator Tillis' headstone
🎵There's a meeting in the Oval room, they're trying to trace the smell There's secrets in the washroom, Russia's sneaking personnel Somewhere in the corridors, we hear a cocaine sneeze Goodness me, could this be mitochondrial disease? -Dire Straights indeed
I remember reading this shortly after it was published. I've been looking for it for a while. Yes, I realize the subject and author have been widely covered since, but Goodman's interview was eye-opening to me at the time. www.democracynow.org/2009/8/12/sh...
I think the torture machine from the movie "The Princess Bride" is sort of a mechanical representation of social media. I keep mine dialed below a #3, but it's obvious that many are cranked up to #10
Today in Maga history: Barack HUSSEIN Obama Was nominated at the DNC Doing this in 2008 was a sneaky Democrat trick to cover up his failures as president during 9-11 1883 Krakatoah volcano erupts lowering global temperatures by half a degree for a few years, proving climate change is a hoax, somehow
Sick, thick, and still a prick.
I had NO f@#king idea that the fantastic "Make a Wish" foundation could pull off such a thing. Arranging for this poor thing to pretend to be president and hiring all those television people to play along? My god, what a fantastic thing. It's a shame his disease makes him talk like a neo nazi, but
I'm fatigued by the sheer volume of nazis that are continually doing nazi stuff while people argue over
A lot of people are saying "try this crack!" I don't know. Maybe it's good crack? People say there is good crack.
Seems like an acknowledgment of him already being a dictator, doesn't it?
Jump cuts: Grab Grab Grab em Grab em Grab em by the pussy Grab em I can do whatever I want Grab em I'm the president of the United States Grab em I'm the President Pussy
Some humble advice, don't be sad when you are driving home. One of those visits will be the last one. Even then, celebrate your time together, celebrate your ability to be of some help, and give back. It's not easy, (trust me, I have 1st hand experience 😉), but love never is, ya know?
Alternatively, they are an acknowledgment of past events (pretty well documented if one cares to look) that can't be undone but also of relationships that can be improved. It's very odd to me that people make things like this an instant conflict issue.
Do they need weapons to shoot the trash or to protect the trash once they have collected it? Perhaps to shoot litterers? Up armored humvees to transport it to the dump.
Land acknowledgments? Too woke, I suppose? I guess I would ask, which voters would be lost, and were they actually gettable anyway? I get that people roll their eyes about virtue signaling, but I will say they only do that about values they don't share.
I did a home test. Turns out after 50+ years, I'm still VERY allergic to fascism. Makes my fists clench, and my BP goes up. Get agitated, angry, unreasonable. So, if you are thinking of bringing a bowl of fascism to the party.
Hmmm, if a Manchurian candidate were really a St Petersburg candidate... The glorious worker revolution may be upon us. Maybe Trump just lost a bet. Heads Russia becomes a democracy, tails USA joins the new USSR (United States Serves Russia) DJT always chasing the tails.
@amymcgrath.bsky.social nice job on MSNBC (or whatever they are calling themselves now days 😀)
"I submitted the script for this skit to SNL back in 2019, and Lorne Michaels rejected it, said it was too absurdist!" Norm MacDonald (probably)
Stalin would have found them too crass to be believable
Today in Maga history: 2017 Soon to be pardoned James A Fields (I'm starting the rumor) speeds into a crowd of protesters killing Heather Heyer. Many blame Joe Biden and Kamala Harris for causing what would be later called murder and a hate crime, but later sanctioned as okee dokee in many states.
Your so F@#cked You probably think this song ain't about you You're so F@#KED I bet you think this song ain't about you Don't you? Don't you?? (Hoping Carly doesn't mind me borrowing her song)
*You're So F@#ked* 🎵You let him take over G.O.P. like he he was doin' a TV show You thought bein' clever with all your friends would somehow lessen the blow You had one eye on total control and the other on his funeral But there's so many heads on this beast now that him gone won't do nothin at all
She doesn't "need" you, but if you try to move, you are getting the murder claws. So, she needs you not to move, um-kayyyyy?
They didn't imagine Trump enablers. They didn't imagine gaggles of so-called elites so feckless and devoid of character. They didn't imagine an electorate so detached from common sense and common purpose.
Absolutely. Abso-fucking-lutely. It strolled in the front door, took off its shoes, and is sitting in the living room eating your grandchildrens future. People are too fucking stun locked to see it for what it is and act accordingly.
Voice over guy: Tune in in two weeks for the exciting conclusion of "I don't really know how anything works so I don't really care about what happens..." Gaza edition (This product is not meant to cure, diagnosis, or treat any real word conditions, all statements have not been evaluated by anyone)
What's next? White Castle replacing the symbol of "purity and strength" with a rust colored house trailer?
Open to the right is coincidental and secret code at the same time It's probably safe to assume that none of the tomatoes are sundried (if you know what I mean, wink wink) It's also safe to assume that it's not safe to consume 😀
Actually, come to think of it, watch out @mcuban.bsky.social he's on a nationalization spree...
They were ahead of their time. Too bad about the lip syncing scandal.
Pre 2016: Americans died defending the ideals and possibilities of a more perfect union, freedom and democracy. Post 2016: Americans lie defending the destruction of American ideals, freedom and democracy. Post 2024:
Sir, the "Department of FUCKING FUCK YOU!" does sound very strong. Very strong sir, but perhaps we should go with something without curse words.
@mcuban.bsky.social sadly, there's probably a regulation that would punish you for making a claim like this. "Cost minus" is an interesting concept, I guess?
I've been watching what was obviously coming next for the last 12 months.
Fack, I'm confused. Are Jedi technically republican scum? Or by the laws of bad guy transposition, would republican scum really be the empire?
Dementia fluffers ate not a thing I imagined existing. Yet here we are watching unconstitutional executive orders being signed to the smiles and fawning praise of the flufferingest fluffers in the history of fluffing. Sir's orders are the most beautiful orders, praise be upon sir for his wise orders
The greatest single achievement possible for any president is leaving office peacefully at the end of their term. Resting in peace counts.
How's your Monday?
Trump seems to ask "What would Putin do?" (He also asks Putin what he should do 😉 ) That's why, 4 or 5 months ago, I was predicting the nationalization of private enterprises It's what Putin would do. It's part of the shakedown protection racket that Putin perfected. USA is not the former USSR...
Not knowing where to start is definitely a prevailing problem. With Basically Everything
I'm normally wary of both sider-ism, but in this case
Today in Maga history (2015 edition): Russia's destabilization of Ukraine advances puppet leaders in Crimea and Kyiv Obama's lack of toughness clearly resulted in Russia grabbing Crimea (after the winter Olympics conclude 🤨) Trump will later need to counter this weakness with complete capitulation.
"Wars end in victory..." Now, do the American Civil War JD
The "who's we?" part and the "how do we do that" part are pretty big deals. Monied total control of politics is a burrowing parasite (think Guinea worm). There's pain and grim determination required.
McDonald's is definitely involved in bringing something 😀
Does anyone else notice their first draft of a post starts like: These fucking fucks and their fucking fuckery!!!! I suspect that is part of the plan that these fucking fucks are implementing. Still.
The batteries are out of the smoke detectors. Something smoldering is going willfully undetected.
Again, (sigh), people conflate, "a really bad, unjust thing is happening, and I am morally outtaged!" with "anyone who disagrees with anything I say about it must not understand, or is complicit!" Sometimes, maybe? But definitely not always. (Expertise died by a thousand tiny cuts, me thinks)
This is truth. I cringe at some of my typos or letter substitutions from thumb typing. Buy then, i think, "Nope!" A bit of it is actually a good thing. It's me, a human from earth trying to communicate.
I will say it again: The Rapid Unexpected Disassembly of America just passed the "Max Q" moment. It's all tears, debris, and toxic waste for the next bit. Elon knows RUD. It's his only true engineering skill. Fitting that he was the board chairman of the mission.
I too feel the urge to dunk a little on Bolton, something like: too bad your vote for Reagan didn't help him win last November... Yada yada yada No. This is yet another milestone in the rapid unexpected disassembly of America. In isolation, a news story. As part of a clear pattern of destruction?

Willie Nelson says what now?
Atrocity is a suitable description. The dictionary provides others. Callous disregard for life Opportunistic barbariety. Clearly, what is happening now has little to do with rescuing hostages and less and less to do with October 7th. Perhaps people's inability to find the words is understandable.
"We have also seen a dramatic decrease in polar bear attacks. I'm told that the unicorns will soon be returning also."
So corporal BigMac McBoneSpurs thinks DC is the most dangerous place anywhere. He should know. He was taken prisoner during the battle of the bulge.
The grass is always greener on the other side of the dictatorship
Nothing revitalizes a downtown like roving sadistic, racist, brute squads and crass reworks of cultural venues. A curfew will really help settle down any woke ideas about dancing or drinking. Perhaps a dancing ban will prevent the fornicating.
A plaque will one day be erected to commemorate the brave sacrifice of all those involved. But not you @thejan6plaque.bsky.social sadly, not you.
How everyone doing? Ya doing ok? Up north here, we're discussing whether the Carney government is sufficiently aggressive decoupling from the US economically and militarily. There's also some talk of whether we should be disappointing or feckless in climate policy. Looks like down south you're...
Surprised it's a full mon and not 3/5 of a moon 🙄
Lavrov is Scott Jennings after a year of free buffets
I don't concede that democracy doesn't underpin the American system of representative government. I do think REPRESENTATIVE is the key to focus on. Equal representation. No taxation without representation. Citizens choose their representation democratically. Disenfranchisement robs that.
LOOK! They're following that guy from the chilli contest!
Scatologists study shit for a living. No, really. They are really good at it, can identify any kind of it, even figuring out what the subbject ate, what diseases or parasites it has, and yet, even these scientists are baffled by one sample. One greasy, vile, puzzling piece of poop
People who don't think slavery is a big deal are planning on owning slaves.
