Tired Progressive

Another day, another version of “every accusation is a confession”.

I have no Dem senators, but I’ll call any dem thinking about making a deal. Always thrilled when Shumer’s “leadership” kicks us in the teeth—again. So tired of them selling out.

I thought the same thing. A genuine smile or laugh? Only if he’s assaulting kids, making fun of the people around him, or reminding everyone how great he is. Even then, mean edge on that “smile” never disappears..

I was working on a doc with em dashes and my co-author complained about me using AI…I had to apologize for the default setting that created em dashes because of my APA style dissertation requirement. Even real work can take a hit!

Of course he did. No doubt he’ll want a Nobel for it, too.

He looks exactly the way I expected him to. Do all these asshats have that same smirk? I know they’re trying to pull off a smile, but it is always that condescending smirk.

Is that…Mike Wallace? Or just his doppelganger?

We should learn about slavery, the Trail of Tears, Wounded Knee, Tulsa, Rosewood, etc….It’s history, ffs. Does this mean no one should learn about anything he doesn’t like?

The cognitive dissonance is unbelievable

How does the world create—and elevate—such vile people? Her, Stephen Miller, TFG, Alito, and so many more..it’s like their only fuel is hate.

Well, if they’re talking about billionaires being supported by the rest of us—hard agree. But if they’re talking about supporting the “least among us”—I’d have to disagree..

One of my favorite podcasters (@prophiphop) said it best: “Ain’t about who they are—it’s about who WE are.” How we are treating the least among us, not to mention the Constitution we supposedly revere, is beyond shameful. Not a nation of laws or christian these days.

If you’ve never seen his comedy (or his remote correspondent bits), you are missing out! Tune in and enjoy these episodes—you can thank me later!

💯 I loved the first trilogy…kids I babysat for loved the second. A lot of hate from 1st gen lovers for the third, but nostalgia alone gives me a soft spot for them. The age to movie ratio is everything—well, it is to me (and you!).

Which is a long-winded way to say: the Constitution doesn’t hand the reins to the president, but for some reason, congress and the courts are handing the reins to him right now. Every f’n branch is behaving illegally and unconstitutionally since Jan 21, 2025

SCOTUS seems to believe this insane unitary executive theory, but the Constitution lists Congress as Article 1–power of the purse and to pass laws. Article 2 is the executive, who is a co-equal, but not more powerful than, Congress or the judiciary (Article 3).

NC checking in. Not just gerrymandering, but stripping Executive powers from the governor, stripping voters off roles, and stripping public education from as many students as possible. Weirdly the opposite of DC rolling over for the executive…

If only we had Brazilian judges and legislators here…he should have been in jail January 7. I still can’t believe he got away with SO much obvious crime..

I find myself wondering if they actually did. Don’t get me wrong, this is beyond bad enough, but using words like “nonconsensual” and “misconduct” when you’re talking about raping girls makes it seem like murder…is not that big a leap for these guys.

ATTN: If you’re one of the 1,000 FBI agents who reviewed the Epstein files, feel free to reach out to me via signal (in my bio). I’ll keep you anonymous- as I have the thousands of current and former federal workers who have sent me tips. Please share this widely. 🙏🏻

Maybe—they only have to flip one Dem to pull it off, and if NC shows us one thing, it’s that people who run and get voted in as a Dem won’t think twice about flipping R and selling out the entire state (looking at you, Cotham).

Better late than never, I guess. Still not giving them clicks. They sane-washed his orange nazi ass waaaay too long.

I don’t think the world—or most of America—needs any more proof. For the hard core MAGA cult, there will never be enough…

I mentioned somewhere else…I suspect Vance’s “quick visit” to Murdoch’s ranch in Montana on June 11 was the start of all this unravelling. Wondering if they all know he’s too sick to make the midterms—or he’s no longer worth the hassle.

Actually, I was wondering about that quick trip Vance took about…3 weeks ago? to visit Murdoch. Maybe Trump has outlived his usefulness?

The Daily Show is under Paramount, isn’t it?

Maybe he and Colbert can move to Meidas and get the band backtogether doing their shows back to back again…

I gave up on them years ago when they were cheerleading the Iraq War and WMDs. They’ve been unreliable for decades. I do, however, hope they get relegated to the dustbin of history (along with Wapo) for ignoring any kind of journalistic integrity to curry favor with TFG.
