No, Mike Johnson, satire is NOT punching down on people with less power. I support the separation of church and state, but you don't. So, Mike Johnson, where's the Jesus in the current guy figuratively dumping shit on people? Jesus did not punch down. Release the Epstein Files.

That would truly be shocking and awesome, but no, it's more important to pile on "shock and awe "cruelty. It's been 27 hours, 51 minutes and counting.

It captures 2024, sure. And over 40 years of neoliberal capitalism in its extractive, destructive glory.

Jimmy Carter, 39th President of the United States, Passes Away at His Home in Georgia
He will be remembered for restoring dignity and compassion to the Presidency
He had the greatest post-presidency in history. I also think about how he put his peanut farm in trust when he became president & compare that to the conflict of interest cesspool we have coming in now. RIP Mr. Jimmy. meidasnews.com/news/jimmy-c...

RIP Jimmy Carter. Tribute from The Clash (Washington Bullets, 1980):
For the very first time ever
When they had a revolution in Nicaragua
There was no interference from America
Human rights in America
The people fought the leader and up he flew
With no Washington bullets what else could he do?

There Is No Mary Problem in βItβs a Wonderful Lifeβ
Georgeβs vision of his wife without him is essential to the film, but critics continue to miss its trueβand profoundβmeaning.
The older I get, the more I appreciate Mary's wisdom. This article helped me see her vision more clearly. Donna Reed's portayal is perfect.

Was almost there with you but saw a reminder. But indifferent, yeah. I never turned on the sound. I stopped watching at 4-1. I used to pride myself on watching to the end no matter how bad they played. Kind of surprised how quickly I moved from anger to simply not caring.

Hi Terry. Hi Kevyn. Sabres fan since 1970, 40-year ex-pat but return regularly & go to games, back in town this week. But since YOU have no clue what team will show up, your fans have no clue. I do have a clue, though: My $ stays with me, my butt stays home. Gots buy me some palm trees. #sabrehood

Seems a few days ago Johnson said the Speaker had no role in the release of the ethics report. He's singing a different tune now. Convoluted sequence, but Mike Johnson is not Speaker of the House if Matt Gaetz had not initiated the motion to vacate Kevin McCarthy's Speakership.
