I was in downtown Chicago in '68 during the Dem convention, whereas I learned why the label 'pigs' came into use.

This was planned and rehearsed between russia and trump.
A set up.
I will NEVER forgive anyone who helped enable this by their vote or having not voted.

Trump faces Truth Social backlash over AI video of Gaza with topless Netanyahu and bearded bellydancers Users of president’s own social media site criticise video showing reimagined Gaza featuring Trump and Israeli PM sipping cocktails

Christian evangelicals are just now figuring out trump IS their Golden Calf?
He's where he wants to be. He doesn't give a rat's ass about ANYBODY.

Trump fires Black joint chiefs chair Hegseth accused of promoting diversity US secretary of defense had questioned whether history-making air force general CQ Brown Jr got job because of race

The only allowable diversity is the visible level of stupidity & unquestioned loyalty to the Moron in Chief.
Some are just inherently superior ass kissers.

With all due respect, I wouldn't lay odds on it. The CIC wants Gen. Milley dealt with and made an example of.

Indivisible is one of many. Plus, hooking up with local Dems.

I've thought this for some time. Unless it's informative and covering what MSM won't, all the memes and snark in the world disappears in a black hole of nothingness. We need to seek out boots on the ground resistance groups and get off the couch.
That being said, trump has one loaded depends.

This is how Mitch McConnell should be remembered:

Without him, there’s no President Trump right nowβ€”he had the chance to convict during impeachment and end it, but he didn’t.

Without him, there’s no stacked conservative Supreme Courtβ€”you’d have more rights today.

Ya' know, these are really beautiful, might do some watercolor studies on them! By which I mean put to paper, not squish them whilst painting something else.
Nice!

I think we can all agree that if Washington wasn't a swamp before, it is now.

Yes. After moving from a Chicago suburb to rural SE WI made me realize how wide the gap is.

Probably. Wouldn't surprise me if trump introed a gold dog whistle to be had for an absurd price for his 'faithful'.

BTW, LOVE your banner!

Somehow I missed this one.

A United Regional Jet plane carrying 27 passengers and crew, slid off the taxiway at St. Louis Lambert International Airport yesterday.

Where’s the guy from The Real World?

Honestly, this is one I was afraid would 'bloom', and with this fiasco in progress, I'd urge everyone to monitor for outbreaks in their communities.
We can't expect valid reports from the CDC, period.

I've said all along, trump took losing in 2020 as a personal affront - he means vengeance against America.
