I'll just leave this here. "People are saying Fox News is full of shit. I don't know. I'm just asking the questions."

I mean, "speaking intelligently" is beyond this feckless numpty's expertise. He has zero business in the job he's in.

Somewhere a village is missing its idiot though.

Part of me wonders about the actual source of the first quote-- A snarky non-MAGA douche looking to spark trouble? Could be.

But the MAGAts are so intensely unself-aware I'm prepared to believe it could be real, too.

Where are all those calls and rants against political violence from the right wing extremists now?

Simultaneously is a good resemblance, and that that of an evil toad.

Thought so. I've always loved that spot-- and especially if I'm right about the specific orientation, the house that would be off to your left, back when it was abandoned and looked so, so haunted.

On the right is America without RFK Jr.'s intense idiocy.
On the left is America with RFK Jr. making decisions he is epically unqualified to make.

Any questions?

Can we agree that we should all consider, speak of, and share commentary about uber-fascist Stephen Miller in the same way we did about Elon Musk earlier in the year?

I honestly feel like he's the Grima Wormtongue of this administration.

The Roberts court will be spoken of in the same terms as Roger Taney's court, with its legacy of deference to the Slave Power and Dred Scott.

It feels a fair comparison to me.

Folks — this is not a normal government shutdown.

Let me explain the stakes and how we got here.

I am especially amused by the wishes at the end.

Otherwise: Dead on target. Thank you for this.

Taking a big risk here. This is the BIGGEST deep dive I've ever done. Big Pharma. PBMs. Insurance companies... Someone tried to pay me to promote their political message.

PLEASE support this video by sharing, liking & commenting. Help me stop the SCAM!! www.youtube.com/watch?v=hvus...

Trump is playing king, and Republicans in Congress are bowing down and letting him do it.

Republicans want Democrats to let Trump continue to shut down whatever he doesn’t like and destroy our democracy.

To play along with that farce is a betrayal of the American people.

I was doubting it would ever happen.
IT IS HAPPENING NOW.

Mary Spender, always.

Rachael Yamagata is there as well, and I am hoping her new album-- set to drop tomorrow!-- is on Band Camp as well.

"Demmocracy"?

Let's not forget the hand YOU all had in rubber stamping the bill that put this all into place. They own the horrors unleashed by the cuts, but House and Senate Democrats-- and especially leadership-- own the capitulation earlier in the year.

You kicked the can. Not a good look.

With this, I'll note that tomorrow is Band Camp Friday, and both Yamagata and Mary Spender are on there.

It's tough to argue with this.
As with Angry, ain't no one paying me. I wish they would, given how many obnoxious ass opinions I have.

No such thing as "too early" to start the secondary source review for a presentation in April at a history conference.

I don't suppose there's a whole lot of surprise as to my topic.

I'm eager to start poking around some primary sources.

I don't disagree, but I wonder how many Americans could in general. I tend to suspect the results would be appalling.

That moment when someone who posts right wing BS all the time has the audacity to proclaim *my* posts to be a "politics free zone" when I post anti-MAGA commentary.

The hypocrisy is intense.
