Okay, here's a concise, but all too accurate summary of the last week.

These are all quotes by Trump-appointed judges. Pretty damning, wouldnโ€™t you say? ๐Ÿ˜ก

New Bill Would Give Marco Rubio โ€œThought Policeโ€ Power to Revoke U.S. Passports Secretary of State Marco Rubio has already sought to punish immigrants for speech. New legislation might let him revoke passports from U.S. citizens.

I may have to go for Italian citizenship after all.

Apparently he said this with a straight face. He only SA'd those thirteen year olds in order to maintain his cover?

And as soon as the ink dries on the documents "proving" this, he'll be happy to show them to us.

Is it possible that there is also a certain Louisiana Congressman on the list?

Oh, no. We blame those of you that deliberately and maliciously spread dissent and misinformation among liberals and progressives. Who acted as KNOWING tools for the fascists.

Because I do not believe for even a single second that you did not deliberately help der Pedofรผhrer win reelection.

Yes, he really posted this.

Why does it sound eerily similar to "I am become Death, the destroyer of worlds"?

I have heard it said that if someone only refrains from doing evil because they're afraid of hell, then they aren't a good person, but just a bad person on a leash.

Okay. Some people need a leash.

The Constitution says what it says, which isn't always what we want to hear. Yes, the lot of them deserve to be tossed out on their ears. But it has to be done one at a time.

These servicemembers put their lives on the line for this country. It is disgraceful and wrong to deny them at least the same benefits any other veteran would receive.

Pure hatefulness and spite from the least qualified Secretary of Defense in history and President bone spurs.

Here I was thinking that maybe, just maybe I could have a "feel good" day.

Then it's a quick splash, and I'm back in the cesspool.

Once again, my desire to be well-informed is at odds with my desire to remain sane.

Apparently the multiple times she shoots puppies in this video didn't bother her, but this part really got under her skin.

So sharing this image isn't a friendly thing to do, and if I were a better person, I might feel a tinge of guilt at doing so.

I'll have to work on that.

Eventually.

Who was it that arranged to release all those Taliban leaders without even consulting the Afghan government?

So now he's helping them round up the Afghans that fought against them.

So, Russia is openly threatening the Pedofรผhrer if he doesn't stop working against Russian interests, while openly admitting that Israel also has this information.

We're still only in month number seven.

Tennessee set to execute inmate without turning off his implanted defibrillator Tennessee plans to execute Byron Black without deactivating his defibrillator, raising concerns about potential shocks during the lethal injection.

No sense in this. He has dementia, brain damage, kidney failure, and congestive heart failure. This isn't curable. That makes him a candidate for hospice. The state should transfer him to hospice and just let him die naturally. With dementia, he probably doesn't even understand the punishment.

American musical satirist Tom Lehrer dies at 97, US media report Lehrer, a Harvard-trained mathematician, wrote darkly humorous songs, often with political connotations.

Tom Lehrer was a fixture of my youth. His songs are often just as timely today as when he wrote them back in the late 1950s and 60s.

I wish that he could have lived long enough for him to see them become outdated.

Rest in peace, Professor Lehrer.

We're six months in.

"Whites only" communities are being established.

People are being sent to concentration camps.

Officials of the US government are disappearing people off the streets.

Broadcasting companies are bowing to government pressure to silence criticism.

We're six months in.

But that's part of it. They DO want to take children away from people with parking tickets and any other excuse they can dream up, and if they can't find something, they'll just lie.

As long as the families are brown.

Remember, these people are bragging about "feeding 65 million alligators."

The Washington Commanders changed their name because fans demanded it. People finally realized that the name was racist, and didn't want anything to do with it.

Apparently now, under King Quisling's reign, racism is not just encouraged, but required.

The prospective buyer, Skydance Media is a supporter of more progressive candidates and causes. Yes, they're still a big company, so automatically suspect, but it will be interesting to see what, if anything, they do upon gaining control.

Every day, I say a prayer of thanks that I get absolutely no say in someone's eternal destination.

I don't need that kind of temptation.

This needed to be reposted, but it's time for a break now.
