I swear, their pettiness never falters.

A true basket of deplorables.

That seems to be thesentiment of her comments. But not her wording. Unless I missed something?

The evangelicals will do what their church leaders order. They’ve been trained to obey. They won’t object. Their conscience and sense of morality have been trained out of them. That’s how fundamentalist religion works. And cults. Same thing really. It’s why they were targeted — easy to control.

This almost makes me wish I was on X. What crimes, Scott? What crimes are they committing? Creating a record of the truth? Why do you think that’s a crime? It’s not, by the way.

Truth is the most dangerous weapon of all.

They object to gun control when the laws apply equally to everyone. But this regime abhors equality under the law. So gun control will be fine as long as it only applies to the people they want to suppress and control.

The NRA will absolutely be good with this. Here’s why. This regime will move to prohibit gun ownership by people it deems dangerous to law and order. That will eventually include anyone who objects to what the regime is doing. The left will be disarmed. The right will be encouraged to buy more guns.

Not fast enough.

Dementia or malignant narcissism? I say both.

In the first months of the first Trump administration, I wrote a piece on their effort to concentrate power in the White House. I characterized it as a slow-moving coup. People thought I was crazy. But it’s been the plan all along.

I was wondering how well it would stand out against other string flavors. But cacio e pepe sounds like a good idea for letting it shine. Thanks!

Oooh! What are you doing with the long pepper? I bought some recently and can’t decide what to do with it.

But let’s be clear about who his boss is. It’s not Trump. It’s Peter Thiel and the rest of the billionaires who are using the populist side of the MAGA movement and white Christian nationalism to consolidate power.

Cuba first. Possibly Colombia. Maybe Panama. But after that, Greenland will be in the crosshairs.

It’s not a paradox when you consider that tolerance is not an absolute moral imperative. It’s a social contract. When one party is in breach, the other party is no longer bound by the terms.

Today in You Can’t Make This Sh!t Up…

I dunno, man. We’ve always had this much trash. We breed it generation after generation.

Venezuela calls on OPEC to counter US threats Maduro asks oil-producing bloc to help protect Venezuela's oil reserves from US 'aggression'.

The talk about Saudi Arabia’s promised $1 trillion investment in the US was just the cover story. What the US really got from the meeting with MBS was a promise not to object or intervene in our effort to seize Venezuela’s oil.

If the Venezuelan sailors were enemy combatants, then the 2nd strike is a war crime.

If the Venezuelan sailors weren’t enemy combatants, then both strikes are criminal murder.

It’s that simple.

I love how the Colorado republicans totally embraced their bigotry publicly.

They do. They hate real academics. They adore charlatans and blowhards.

“Western civilization” means white supremacy to these people. It’s the latest dog whistle.

Look at those flaky layers! Just look at them!

Libraries are truly empowering places. All that information there for the taking. And the librarians will help you do it! As a kid, I spent many hours in self-directed exploration at the library. I don’t think I’m overstating when I say, libraries are a huge part of what made me who I am.

Forcing schools to post the Ten Commandments has never been about encouraging anyone to follow them. It’s meant as a show of force, a reminder of who’s in power and who you shouldn’t cross.

Someone needs to make this into a tee shirt.

Are we taking bets yet on when President Asshat will
Pardon them?

Pulled pork barbecue. I won’t take a stand on whether it should be Lexington style or eastern NC style. But it has to be served on a bun with cole slaw.

That’s adorable!
