A government that is closed for business is not available for a floor vote to release documents relating to the sexual abuse of children involving the nation's powerful people.

These shitheels will close the doors on the United States and go home rather than spill out the dirt.

Woke is bullshit. It's horseshit. It exists as a false affront to assholes who just want to asshole. It's fascism that is the enemy of free and open speech. Fascism is and always was the great shut-up and shut-it-down censor of debate and discussion.

Fuck all these corporate whores.

The whole world must. There will either be a Palestinian state on the West Bank and Gaza or there will be another 100 years of bloodletting in the Levant. Netanyahu and his coalition be damned all the way to hell and The Hague.

Brian Kilmeade is not merely a sociopath. He is out here on national television auditioning for a Cabinet position. A few more of his brash insights and he will certainly wield power.

Reading much tonight on Charlie Kirk, who he was, what he said and believed -- from both admirers and those deeply opposed. It does not matter. None of it. What matters is that political violence made routine against any voice, left or right, marks us as a failing, dying republic.
This is horror.

Trump administration seeks to deport Kilmar Abrego Garcia to Uganda after his release from jail Immigration officials said they intend to deport Kilmar Abrego Garcia to Uganda, after he declined an offer to be sent to Costa Rica in exchange for remaining in jail and pleading guilty to human smug...

It is not deportation when you suspend habeus corpus and forcibly transport a human in custody to a nation where they have no connection, citizenship or affiliation.

It is human trafficking.

The United States is the world's shithole nation. Lawless. Soulless. Evil.

I often find myself missing Eastern Shore yardbird 🐓 and I will note: Much of the decline of life in the U.S. seemed to correlate with the closure of English’s Fried Chicken restaurants around Delmarva. Coincidence you may say? Correlation and causation are firmly attached at the drumstick. 🍗

Baltimore has seen a dramatic two-year decline in crime -- especially its murder rate -- with police and prosecutors working specifically and effectively to target repeat violent offenders. There's fuck all some National Guardsmen can do other than stand around and watch.

Trump is a fatuous moron.

a group of people are watching a video of a man 's face on a screen . ALT: a group of people are watching a video of a man 's face on a screen .

New catch line:
“WE SHAAALLL AVENGE ‘BIG BALLS’!”

They would likely opt for something along the lines of: “The Final Solution.”
…justifying it with the character and word-count. 😶

Before long, a Holiday in Cambodia might seem to be a lateral move. 😬

It’s an iffy bet that the flounder-eyed poindexter would survive long enough to write a page into his preface, after his first exposure to gen pop. Just a guess, mind you.

By any metric of fascism, when they come for the comedians, it's here.
