Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

“A king is only a king if we bow down.” – Rev. William Barber

We can show the world that autocracy can be defeated.

Conservatism: there are people the law protects but does not bind and others who the law binds but does not protect.

The cruelty is the point; the law be damned.

Today’s gop: why go just far enough when too far is right there?

They punch you in the face and then start crying because their fist hurts.

There are consequences to being an arrogant, sullen prick.

Pessimism assures that nothing of any importance will change.

He really is that stupid.

Technically true, but collectively nonsense

The willow is too close to the house.

“But what about the lurkers?”

Not so fun when the rabbit gets the gun, is it?

Someone should tell Republicans that violence is the last refuge of the incompetent, or possibly the first.

The rest of the comments were smacking Boebert like she was a piñata.

Jack be nimble, jack be quick, hurry up and indict this prick.

They were going to turn on one another at some point. It was inevitable.

They don’t have outfits that big. nor codpieces that small.

Optimism opens the door to great things.

Everybody saw this coming.

“woke” is the new caravan.

Republican speaker of the house Mike Johnson is the bland and smiling face of evil.

The republican speaker is a slippery little devil.

Republicans want to make it harder to vote and easier for them to cheat.

This sort of takes some of the the glamour out of the title of ‘astronaut’:

Discovery astronauts prepared to leave the international space station Friday as they began to wrap up work in advance of next week’s return to Earth.

The shuttle’s cargo module, now full of space station trash, was moved from the station and placed back in Discovery’s payload bay for the voyage back home.

Have a safe trip home, guys and gals.

    Anyone remember Salvage 1 with Andy Griffith?
    A junkyard owner goes into space to bring back space trash.
