He is doing to MTG what he does to anyone who crosses him. Even if you don't like MTG, bullying and threats are not OK.

Imagine, for a moment, the teenaged girls targeted by him...

Don't put up with it!

I don’t even know how their twisted, little brains come up with this shit.

An open insulated box with several cobalt blue colored bags of Caramel M&M’s Popped. The newest M&M product to be introduced in January. They’re pretty wonderful; kind of like exploded malted milk balls with a colorful crunchy candy, too.

My Caramel M&M’s Popped arrived today! 😋
Ooh, is it a late Halloween 😱 or an early Christmas 🎅🏾 ?

Baby Chair Bovino has a ring to it.

I like to think it’s that his head looks like it’s only as big as his hands😜

A black and white ad shows an athletic young woman dressed in a teensy, leopard skin, one shoulder chemise, dragging a smiling man in business attire by the hair with her left hand. In her right she carries in enormous club. Top right is a headline that reads, “The El Bart Jungle Bird Cocktail.”

The El Bart Gin Rickey for “cool cats” above lead me to this

Crackpot?

Fun typo 🤪

Keep in mind, Trump's pardons meant that a great many Jan6 criminals didn't pay off their debt for ransacking the Capitol.

So these Senators are adding to the cost of Trump's attack on the Capitol even while taxpayers ALSO have to pay for his attack.

Free Sarah Kendzior.

Good karma, though.

The coordinated nature of this—none are facing voters in 2026—means that either Schumer approved it or failed in his job as Senate Majority Leader to stop it.

Dems voting "no" get zero credit until they demand a change in leadership. Schumer out as Leader, Durbin out as Whip.

See you tomorrow evening, L.A.!

For those interested, last night I wrote about what's in the CR deal for Congress. If you want a slightly more coherent take...

7) If it were me, I wouldn't agree to fund the FSGG approps bill that funds the WH/OMB without policy riders that take away the administration's funding to pursue things like impoundment, etc. Why should Russ Vought have any staff? Saying "no" here is a policy win. If they do it.

I expect those politicians may have been passengers, or had some affiliation with former passengers on the Lolita Express.

Yes, I saw the photo. That would take a lot of patches!
Just in case, my favorite brand is ata-boy. the big A sells them.

Adhesive patches to save your old fave?

I think they used sophisticated techniques to help him change his mind.

Part of the label of from a box of edibles. From left to right four placks read: anytime, joyful, relaxing, euphoric.

Why would anyone NOT enjoy these?

wait, is June Havoc related to Karl Havoc?

A black lab sleeps on a tan sofa. He looks like he grew out of the sofa. He’s so relaxed. The text reads: “We were wolves once Wild and wary. Stealth and cunning. Then we noticed you had couches.”

Polls show I’m already ahead of Darrell Issa.

But the margins are razor-thin, and Trump will do everything to keep his loyal ally in Congress.

I’m just $310 away from hitting a critical target. Can you chip in $25 to flip this seat?

Calling these goons pathetic losers to their face is an act of patriotism.

Dagwood with one of his oversize sandwiches. Perhaps the smiling fish is a bit much, but.

Let a thousand sandwiches be airborne.

Yup!
