Hideous.

Constantly. And this disgusting lie is told way too often on social media by people who I assume are Republicans and consider it to be cover for their support of a corrupt, evil and incompetent regime.

Spoiler: It isn’t.

I spoke to her briefly when working in an NYC production office during grad school. She called to speak to the art director, who was a friend of hers. She was pleasant and laughed a little when I must have seemed a bit surprised to be talking to her. A unique and lovely talent who will be missed.

Absolute truth. My brother and most other people I spoke or texted with had the same reaction: He’s doing it again. And he’s going to get away with it.

I’m grateful Democratic leaders have filed lawsuits against this insanity. Whatever you do, do not listen to trolls & idiots telling people to engage in violence. That is exactly why Trump and his cronies are doing this. They want an excuse to stop the midterm elections next year. Protest
Peacefully

It was very tough to see that one. What the hell is she thinking?

Portland is a lovely spot with a lot of good coffee and donuts. I can’t wait to go back once Trump’s terrorist attack is over.

Insane that this is even a question.

We joke about it. But this absurd lie remains extremely effective for extremist Republicans. As Bondi madly accused some senators of being “Antifa” this week, none of them said “There is no such group. But every American should oppose fascism. Shame on you for misleading the American people.”

Many outlets have made it their job. Though for the most part our media is now useless and feckless. CBS News has now fallen.

Sadly, the WaPo’s “new” editorial pages should have told us how wrong they were with that call.

Dear God. Even with all the autotune, my ears are bleeding. She ought to duet with Neil Gorsuch on “Straight to Hell” next.

I’m guessing she paid no royalties to Petty’s estate.

Johnston is terrible for Wisconsin’s economy, property values and even the cheese industry.

Patriotic Americans do not support people who elect insurrectionist-supporters who vote to triple or quadruple health care premiums for millions of their neighbors.

Without question at this point. And his entire cabinet and all members of Congress understand this. He knows they would lose the House next year.

ANTIMO.

Wow. I’d say it’s unbelievable. But @cnn.com recently posted an article about the Insurrection Act referencing Portland and used a 33-year-old “streets on fire” photo from the LA Rodney King riots.

I truly fear you are correct.

Exactly. That’s what I’ve been calling them for a while now.

When your best friend of 15 years is a creepy pedophile who uses crappy anagrams to describe the women and girls you abuse (gamines) and he is killed in prison, there is probably “a there, there.”

Wow. Gorgeous sunflower.

I hope all is well with you and your family. This is from my building’s “garden of hope,” established during the summer of 2020. The sunflowers grew 8-10 feet tall that year.

Most definitely. Also, would you be able to give some of your Democratic colleagues in the Senate advice on how to question witnesses like Pam Bondi?

The unpreparedness, haltingly formed questions and allowing her to completely ignore questions, are shockingly bad.
