Reaction Shots (John Barrett)

Austin shooting spurs Texas political fights Days out from the March primary, Republicans called for changes to immigration law. Democrats repeated their calls for stricter gun laws.

There are times when - & I try to watch my responses to this stuff because the GOP demands our attention and the news cycle inflames it - I really just want to take a big swig on a deep single malt and tell the whole goddamn state of Texas to fuck itself stupid.

…except it’s already there.

Good morning Brenda & #BreakfastCrew! (I’ve got 15 minutes left here in Houston before noon.)

Another maddening Monday but there’s still room for laughter and friendship.

Can’t hang but wanted to drop by and say hi!

An awesome day to all!

Good morning, Jaye!

Both of those sound yummy and I suspect I’ll have to make one of each later this afternoon!

Hope your Monday isn’t manic after the road.

I think I may have to write a kids book about “Judith Turtle” (that’s a great name for a character).

I get the slow motion recuperation, though. I’m sure you’ve had plenty of “take your time” well-wishes, so add mine to those.

Here’s to healing coming quicker, as well!

I can’t say no to a muppet:

No notes. Says it all.

Thanks buddy!

I’m pulling together an overview of summer releases for May, and of course, a big movie for your esteemed self is due out in August.

Memes in the Time of Trump 2.0: a parade of parody, piss, and vinegar Epstein, Epstein, Epstein   DON’T STOP TALKING ABOUT THE EPSTEIN FILES: ask why they’re so heavily redacted? Why didn’t Trump release them a...

Here’s the latest from a couple of weeks back. I’m gearing up for another when I’ve got a moment (maybe next week?)

Huh…am I your uncle?

Hey all! How about a little Sunday fun?

I like @allie-froglegs.bsky.social ‘s idea! I dropped four; who wants to play?

With the document “Iran Nuclear Deal” torn up on a desk, an EU representative asks a sulking DJ Trump, “What was so bad about that Iran deal?”, to which Sad Lil Donny replies, “Obama’s signature”

“Trump is everything we teach our children not to be “

Three dragon. One with the S Korean flag on its crown with a label: “Give a life sentence to a former president for attempting an insurrection “; another with the UK flag: “Arrest a member of the royal family for being in the Epstein Files”; last dragon with US flag: DOW AT 50,000”. The first two dragons look pretty imperious and commanding. The last guy? Pretty goddam dopey.

The Orange Occupier - sorry - the Pedo in Chief sitting next to a young girl (old photo) with the label: “For the Epsteinth time, an ‘underage woman’ is called a CHILD”

Hey Allie! This IS fun! Once or twice a month I post a column called Memes in the Time of Trump 2.0. These are 4 for the upcoming entry.

And vice versa, Mr. A! You’re pretty dang cool, yourself, bud!

Judith, I’m so glad you’re on the mend and this is a glorious pack.

I think I better get off my ass and see if I can’t get my number 7 out there. You’re in it (always), but talk about Johnny DragginHisFeet? Yep. That’s me.

Hugs (gentle ones!)!

I saved the best for last! Judith is back! She’s been through the wringer and I suggest we celebrate by spreading this fine work of hers around!

Hey gang! @schultziepie.bsky.social to the rescue! Not one, but TWO posts of packs for your expansion of your community (& by extension, everyone else’s)!

Cheers, all!

#ImpeachThePedoWarCriminal

Schultziepie!!! Thanks so much! I was assembling a list like this earlier this morning but had to bail for real life stuff!

Can’t wait to pass this on!

You rock!

Because Tricia is awesome and righteous, I will certainly be happy to add more of her choices to my network, and pass them along to all!

Thanks again for your wonderful work, @thewelshtaffy24.bsky.social !

This morning I said OrangePedoBoy and Bibi will do anything to stay in power and avoid justice. Maybe start WW3 to avoid prison? Sure! Those pesky Epstein files aren’t going away, Donny. Your abetting and/organizing sex trafficking and rape of children? I bet there’s plenty more connections…

Thanks again, Jan!

Time to share.

New York Times headline: “Trump’s Attack on Iran Is Reckless”. Seriously? I wonder what gave them that idea?

Fuck me…NYT: ya think?

You, too, Doug!

The U.S. is now engulfed in what could be another forever war in Iran. Here’s a warning from 10 years ago that sadly feels too relevant right now.

This is simply a beautiful play, Doug.

I salute and support this pun!

Oh, I don’t think you’re unhinged, at all.

I believe the phrase is: NAILED IT!

Also, and this is what I wanted to post: love the photos! The first one with the El in the background got me hooked. And seeing “Jaws” on the marquee here? Chef’s kiss!

Oh man. I did the same a year later, though I was going west to California from Texas. A couple of years later, I traded up for Amtrak and headed up the middle of the country and then east.

Trains and buses. Great ways to travel.

Well, Ray. Here we are. We must have logged on thinking the same thing.

Good morning Foxy and friends. It’s a grim one, but we have each other and we know we’re not going to let this moment pass without fighting for what’s right. Let’s hold the space for love and unity, and one another close. I’m grateful we have this place and we need to keep it going.

2/2

Fuck ‘em. We have each other and we know we’re not going to let this moment pass without fighting for what’s right. Let’s hold the space for love and unity, and one another close.

I’m grateful we have this place and we need to keep it going for as long as we can.

I usually say “Good morning, Bluesky!”, but given that The Pedo In Chief and his genocidal partner in crimes against humanity would rather start World War 3 than allow justice be served, let alone cede power, makes it difficult to say that it’s a good morning.

Counterpoint: 1/2

Of course not. We’ve been watching the pillaging of the US play out in real time and there’s no scenario in which those monies are paid back.
