I usually can't stand the sound of his voice, and I know Aaron transcribes these clips verbatim, but this one I had to hear for myself. What the actual fuck.

I'm not sure I could kiss ass this much if my life depended on it

FUCK THIS FUCKING TIMELINE AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH

A painting of a bird beside the text "Chock full of horseshit"

I am going to be sending angry paper letters to all the donors on the Trump list saying "why did you pay to demolish the historic White House East Wing without taxpayer consent?" not because I think this is the most important thing, but...

If the National Guard is really in D.C. to protect federal
property, they should probably have been at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. two days ago

The wettest drugs we’ve ever seen, from the standpoint of water

Hochul: "They promised to extract revenge on their political enemies & apparently any state that has a D gov. Tell me how Florida & Texas could receive these same funds w/o having to go to court? They're playing politics, but more than that, they're playing with people's lives. And that's abhorrent"

Today one of my bosses asked 'when I write this contract should I word it as 'due at signing or due at deposit'?'

I am learning less is more, I fiddle with and add too much, not completely happy with this but it's just a practice sketch anyway so eh.

What will it take for regular people to understand that if they refuse to stand up against fascism they will not be spared? Fascism is a serial killer with no restrictions on who it targets.

Johnson: "He has defunded our education system. He has defunded our transportation system. He's firing black women across this country. He's defunding our healthcare system. This president is absolutely out of control... Chicago is going to stand firm in protecting humanity."

I've never been good at them either! The water control gets me every time. Also I am impatient and hate waiting for sections to dry. That being said coming back to it I'm better than I thought I was? Or maybe I'm slightly more patient with age...idk. haha. You can always try them again some time. :)

Whiny MAGA freaks out over Super Bowl halftime show Songs in Spanish? In America?

New in PN: Whiny MAGA freaks out over Super Bowl halftime show

"The continued cultural dominance of left-leaning artists is a particular affront to MAGAs right now, when they are wielding their political power with more aggression and cruelty than they ever imagined they could."

Why are they on vacation spread out across the country & world when we're on the brink of a govt shutdown?"

there are a lot of affluent (and not so affluent) liberals in this country who are very angry and don’t know how to properly direct that anger and Disney gave them a very easy target

something for the next big corp that wants to bend the knee to consider
