Disgusting.
First heard about it from a neighbor who works at Fort McNair in DC where Stephen Himmler and Marco went to hide out.
I like to point out that the Lincoln assassination conspirators were executed by hanging there, so maybe…

I’d go a step further, and change the demeaning version of the F word to the T word. Fucking is, at heart, a good thing. I don’t know anyone who would want to actually Fuck Trump. But he rapes and does horrible stuff to people, ergo:
Trump Trump!
Go Trump Yourself!
Trumpin’ Ahole
Etc.

Wretched excess, faux farmhouse edition.
My wife calls them ghost houses. I imagine most being owned by people as white as their exteriors.

Oh yeah, Riverbend is a perennial favorite. Well, almost every year.

Still bizarrely warm and humid at 11pm, March 11. Still expecting snow tomorrow says the weatherman.

Sun shining through weeping willow branches. If you look hard, my bike laying in the grass.

Hard to see the bright yellow green that these weepers radiate from a distance.

Early cherry (or plum?) blossoms down the street. Normally winter jasmine pops up in Jan or Feb, but this year it’s late, competing with Forsythia! This patch of daffodils is another favorite herald of Spring   The big Washington obelisk through the budding weeping willows.

Crazy 85° day, had to pedal, tomorrow: snow?!?!
Even this evening, almost oppressively humid when I just stepped out as lightning flashed in the north and thunder rumbles. But hey, Spring and shit! I always look forward to these weeping willows along the Mt Vernon trail in Springtime.

That’ll solve the budget issue! Maybe only add another .1 cent to that proposed (read: definitely happening) tax increase for enforcement of $12 in fines.

Wrong on so many levels, not least of which is the lame-ass design concept. Was it AI? Even an untrained designer wouldn’t come up with something this weak.

The once-trustworthy WaPo should just give up any pretense of of critical journalism and merge with the right wing propaganda rag Washington Times.

Concur!
If only a few Rs (and all the Ds) had the courage to prosecute what we (and they) all see, in all four of those categories! And all they have to do is pick one!

This is yet another example of the corruption and destruction the #GreedyOldPricks are happy to have wars and Trump-Epstein and general Trump clowning to distract you from.
AMPLIFY!

Guess what? No one gives a flying fungus about nonsensical reasons for this not-war war. We want it ended, the fascist wannabes responsible prosecuted, and the Ds to grow some spines and ovaries to inspire some voters before it’s too late for our crumbling democratic republic.

Chris Murphy: "I Just came from a two hour, closed door classified briefing on the war. It just confirmed to me it's totally incoherent. We are not gonna be able to achieve any of our stated objectives ... this is a disaster of epic proportions, a 10 day debacle"

Seriously?
You vote to confirm one of the worst choices of this crooked and contemptuous band of fascist wannabes wrecking our system if government, and then do yet another of your old-news reports.
How do you live with yourself?

Now I see where you got the Gatsby quote.
I still don’t understand the infatuation people have with the Royals—or the wretchedly excessive wealthy in general.

If you had left out a couple names and not ID’ed Gatsby/Fitzgerald, most people would read it as being about now and not see that the moneyed elite have always operated this way.

Got it. Still think folks should share key excerpts either way. Save us all time, especially for long-form articles.
