Who here can still afford coffee? Meat? Tropical fruit? Who still has health care? Who can afford gas?
And on our tax dollars they live like kings and queens, sneering at us, insulting and injuring us, padding their pockets. Hiding on military bases because they fear consequences. As they should.

Actually it's a tricky trail to follow, stick with me here:
Trump thinks that because the immigrants ate all the cats, the population of Greebles has increased exponentially. The Greebles are now dressing up,(6 per trenchcoat stacked) as people, voting illegally, using the name Bugsy Bugz. Whew. 😰

A strange sketch of a dubious sun giving side eye, a tiny being riding a huge flying Rabbit Head craft through the skies, some people in parade, one on huge stilt legs and with some wings, the other pushing a  sort of forward rolling wheel. None of it makes sense, it's delightful.

It reminded me of an image I had saved...one sec... digging...

I grasped the first part of that, the end part moved beyond me, but I appreciate it's deeper than it looks?

What use is a home library full of books you've already read? Hmmm? Riddle me that.

A cartoon space man stares ahead, his expression one of scandalized disbelief. He wears a gray space suit, and very magnifying goggles, his eyes are huge. You cannot see what he's staring at. His hair is short, his eyes hazel colored, his teeth are very white.
Text reads: Nothing in my research could have prepared me for whatever THAT was

But that's possibly not true. Wearing that much money on your face is a statement, I guess, to a certain type of people.

We are, and it can take decades to pull free. It's not until you're old enough to have turned functionally invisible that you yourself can see clearly.

I want to think there's a tiny internal voice in them that sees old pictures or looks in the mirror and knows that something's very wrong.

I might posit that any woman willing to disfigure her own face in order to please a loathsome collection of total knobs had sadly little character there to begin with, nothing much to *be erased*.

I would pay money to watch video of *that* chain of events, ending with split screen:
The pilot lands safely, disattaches himself and goes for beers with friends, his day thankfully done.
The plane crashes into a remote location, either with no survivors or with survivors promptly eaten by crabs.

We are urging the court to issue

Huddling together with lawyers to decide how to handle the inevitable report that this vile excuse for a man has just killed one of the kids still in the home. Being exposed is no doubt stressful for this knob, and SOMEONE MUST PAY! (Not him. Never him! Cancel kids allowance until he recoups 10K.)

Self-care can be very costly. For many Americans, healing procedures like therapeutic massage are an unobtainable luxury. Luckily, there is always "Hot Brain," which is where you lay on the ground directly in front a space heater until your head heats up

A short note to Kristi Noem To a current Cabinet secretary from a former one

The New York Times reports that the Department of Homeland Security has sent Google, Meta, and other media corporations subpoenas for the names on accounts that criticize ICE enforcement. The department wants to identify Americans who oppose what it’s doing. I’ll save them time.
