Wagging the dog again

Particularly good interview that covers much more than the listed hot-button issues. Obama has a great take on foregoing purity tests, scolding, and other subdivisions, in the interest of building an effective coalition.

Knock Knock!
Who's there?
Accountability

Uh oh, the Eye of SorryMan is turning to Trevor Noah. I wonder how much will be garnered by a Trevor Noah defense GoFundMe?

At some point, Edward TinyHands says "fuck it, I'll just leave caps lock on."

I am keeping my distance from Truth Social Lite.

YEESH. Brutal. But very well-written.

I avoid going straight to calling someone Hitler, but when you take so many pages out of his playbook, it's hard not to.

Can't wait to see Trump receive a Grammy for Nicki Minaj's performance. 😁

Go get 'em! This is why a significantly increase my donation to the ACLU. Show ICE and CBP as little mercy as they're showing our neighbors.

If it walks like a duck, goose-steps like a duck...

Too fucking bad! Law enforcement work is risky. They need to pull up their big boy camo, pull down their masks, and follow the law.

Now CBS = Continuous BullShit

Yep this just needs Yakety Sax 😆

Dan Zaksheske on X: "There are so many things wrong with Lilly, a company that makes billions of dollars from obesity drugs, running a commercial during the Rose Bowl basically promoting the idea that obesity is perfectly healthy. https://t.co/KNrJeeBvzn" / X There are so many things wrong with Lilly, a company that makes billions of dollars from obesity drugs, running a commercial during the Rose Bowl basically promoting the idea that obesity is perfectly healthy. https://t.co/KNrJeeBvzn

I just saw this Lily Pharmaceuticals commercial for the first time. It is very accurate.
So why is it controversial? Do you want to continue blaming the patient for the disorder? Do you want to see yourself as superior to me? Do you want to point and laugh? Do you want to see me as sub-human?

That 4th line is savage! I say keep calling them the 4th line: this team thrives on depth.

THIS is the future progressives want.

NOICE! I don't have a Christmas photo with my little buddy, but here's Chewie (yep, that namesake) (you may need to expand for the full meme)

Weight loss jabs: What happens when you stop taking them? You may have lost the weight you wanted to lose - but now you've stopped the jabs, how easy is it to keep it off?

One of my criteria for selecting a weight loss aid was safety/design for long term use. I knew regaining was all but certain if I stopped any such treatment. So I am using bupropion.

Oh, Dr Hussain Al-Zubaidi is an asshole, perpetuating the notion that our weight is fully under our control.

'Congress is in a coma.' Former lawmakers sound alarm on health of the House Congress is wrapping up the year without a lot of legislative accomplishments under its belt and a growing list of lawmakers who are retiring. Former members say the challenges on Capitol Hill have been brewing for a long time.

They missed another doozy too.

- The blanket redactions of entire pages are total bullshit! Conservatively, they can redact most of the names. But the extent of this vile criminal behavior MUST see the light of day.

- They redacted nearly all female faces. That I understand, in the interest of not risking showing survivors & victims. Safe to say the vast majority of guilty parties will prove to be men.

Epstein victims and lawmakers criticise number of files released and redactions - live updates The White House says the Trump administration is

Based on what I see so far:
- There are some heavy hitters implicated alright. Every one of them, including Clinton and Trump, should have their day in court to defend themselves, innocent until proven guilty.

I don't agree with this one. We need someone to stand up to the inevitable bullies in the NHL, and he could still pot a few goals.

Very interesting! Despite the copious and obviously excessive redacting, at least one damning piece of evidence got through. I wonder if this is like Star Wars Rogue One, in this case, with one of the agents leaving one or two incriminating things behind in a blizzard of reluctant redactions.
