That might seem rude, though.

It's hard to argue with this, unfortunately. (Gift link, I hope)

younger generations have always dreamed to be in debt until the day they die

It'll probably be an answering machine, but worth a minute.

Do they ever run out of ways to humiliate Palestinians ?

Absolutely, positively. And for the Caribbean boat strikes, too.

Will This Photo Define the Trump Years? A Saturday Prompt

“In this single moment, we got more visual evidence of Trump’s absence of compassion, indeed the indifference to the suffering of another human…What a tragedy that at a time of grave and great challenges a man like this occupies our White House.”

ICE Barbie Fails to Turbocharge Deportations in Wild Scheme Kristi Noem is feeling the heat from the White House—so she’s pushing to militarize ICE.

Kristi Noem and her top adviser, Corey Lewandowski, ordered ten Spirit Airlines jets to ramp up deportations—and to use for their own leisure—before realizing the airline didn’t own the planes, and that the planes had no engines.

Elections in democracies determine who administers the government; they do not alter whom the government is for. Under any administration, Republican or Democratic, the United States government exists to serve the people of the United States, regardless of their partisan affiliation. Besides, Americans are not as easily divided as Trump might think. Millions of Republican voters live in New York, just as millions of Democrats live in Texas. He cannot tell whom he is punishing by glancing at an electoral map. But even if he could, Trump’s acts of extortion have no place in a democracy. They belong in a protection racket: If you support Trump, you are protected; if you do not, you are vulnerable. If you donate enough cash to Trump, you may receive favorable treatment, including immunity from the law. If you oppose Trump, you may be prosecuted.

This is not how a representative government works. It is how the Mafia works.

Went back to the history of the Sicilian Mafia to illustrate something obvious but worth stating explicitly: The Trump administration behaves like an organized crime syndicate running a protection racket, not a representative government www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2025/1...

THEM: 'Tis the season.

ME: 'Snot.

So nobody on Trump's staff is either willing or able to break it to him that constantly insisting "groceries" is an "old fashioned word" is really, really weird?

But Donald Trump is so rich he refuses to accept his presidential salary!

But, but ... there are kids starving in Argentina!

He sounds like a guy who's learned his lesson.

USA Today: FAA reducing flights at 40 major airports amid shutdown: See where

Americans love it when you tell them they can’t go home for thanksgiving because the president is a big dumb baby and the speaker is terrified of whatever is inside the Epstein files

It was a rejection of the entire administration and Dems should see this as a signal to become an actual opposition party. On everything. You don't stop the shutdown. You don't approve another appointee. You do nothing at all. The voters saved you, not the other way around. LEARN TO LEAD.

Are we not entertained?

What we know, 3pm on Wednesday:

[In 4 parts]

—CA's Prop 50 wins
—VA Dems flip Gov, LG, AG
—Dems defend NJ-Gov
—Dems gain leg seats in VA & NJ
—Dems win NJ & VA trifectas
—Mamdani wins
—PA Dems win state supreme court
—ME anti-mail voting measure loses
—GA Dems flip 2 statewide offices

Looks like an overpriced joint off North Oracle Road somewhere. (Tucson knows what I'm talkin' about.)

Trump Humiliation Worsens as Fresh Info Reveals Scale of GOP Losses The results showed that Democrats don’t have to choose between attacking Trump and highlighting the economy. In fact, they are often inseparable.

Remarkable: In Virginia and New Jersey, Spanberger and Sherrill erased the GOP edge among working class. Per exit polls, each got 50% of noncollege voters, big gains over previous contests.

Shocker: Anti-Trump politics appeals to working class, too!
