Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Tick tock motherfuckers!

Republicans choose power over democracy, every day.

There are consequences to being an arrogant, sullen prick.

Following reporting rules is only for the little people, apparently.

People really shouldn’t expect the government to help after they watched the GOP drown it in a bathtub.

Stay strong, because they are weak.

I desperately hope that, yet again, i am wrong.

Fundamental belief of white supremacy: white people are presumed innocent, minorities are presumed guilty.

We will not go quietly into the night; we will not vanish without a fight.

When I decide to be condescending, you won’t have to dream up a fantasy about it.

Radicalized white males who support Trump are pitching a tent in the abyss.

When someone says they “love freedom”, rest assured they don’t mean yours.

I don’t recall signing up for living in a dystopian sci-fi novel.

No one could have predicted…

When tyranny becomes law, rebellion becomes duty. ~Thomas Jefferson

They want us to be overwhelmed and exhausted. Focus. Resist. Oppose.

The fight for our country is always worth it. ~Kamala Harris

Sitting here in limbo waiting for the dice to roll

Not all heroes wear capes.

White supremacy is terrorism.

Republicans firmly believe having an abortion is a very personal, very private decision between a woman and J.D. Vance.

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

Prediction: the gop will rethink its strategy of boycotting future committees.

Donald Trump found guilty as fuck – May 30, 2024!

    They gave me a Pumpkin Spice Caramel Milk Chocolate square when I was at Ghirardelli’s earlier. WOW, was that way too sweet. I like sweets, but that actually made my throat hurt. Ick.

    Do I post videos of your relatives scratching their backs? I mean there was like a whole minute of my cousin Phil in there!

    Also, too, we had a mini-meetup in SF this afternoon with me, ruemara, Major^4, and Darkrose (who, like me, just happened to be up there for another event) at the most B-J location possible: the Kit-Tea Cat Adoption Cafe. It was just as adorable as it sounds, and had a very dangerous gift shop as well.

    @Adam L Silverman:

    Two of the bears kind of reminded me of our new president (actually I shouldn’t compare Drumpf to the bears, that would be grizzly libel).

    i personally have gone into full time media blackout mode. When i swung by to read BJ tonight it is very apparent this is a healthy move . I am reading phys.org which has a lot of science posts, going thru some comics at gocomics . com and deliberately avoiding liberal blogs and anything including any political news. So far it has been about a couple of weeks and I am starting to get used to it.

    @2liberal: Meeee too, my friend. On full blackout except BJ and not regretting it a bit.

    It dawned on me yesterday that I did most all of my blocking/unfriending during the Romney/Ryan shitstorm… So these days I guess Im feeling pretty ahead of the curve. Total bohemian over here….

    I’m in DC (Arlington, actually) with Madame and nephew, taking nephew sightseeing and having thanksgiving with my brother’s family. Unfortunately I’m down with some sort of cold.

    @Mnemosyne: The Ghirardelli factory is now south of Stockton, just off I-5. The outlet store there has a fountain; I stop there whenever I go past, about three times a year.

    So, over the past fifteen years or so, I’ve become a political junkie and read a list of blogs every day. I used to watch the Sunday talk shows, but after Obama was elected they became redundant and I gave them up.

    I read an actual local newspaper in addition to all the blogs and it’s been interesting to see how our paper in SW Ohio has echoed the trends of reporting nationwide. Headlines were skewed in Trump’s favor all during the election and he was portrayed as kind of a maverick, but done with just the right amount of “but he’s unconventional” between the lines.

    Today there’s a sizable article from the New York Times, a half page, about Trump’s promise to bring jobs back to coal miners. It’s a “bleak outlook”, a straightforward assessment of the coal industry and how it’s been dying since well before Obama took office. It explains clearly and without prejudice that coal is dead for several reasons and it should not and can not be resurrected.

    I’m wishing this was a front page article, oh, I dunno, like six months ago. Maybe it could have been a topic on the campaign trail that wasn’t smothered by emails or other false information. Maybe if it had been leaked like secret information it would have gotten more traction.

    Would it have mattered in states like West Virginia, Pennsylvania, Kentucky, or Ohio? Were the grievances by the coal communities really about losing their industry or did they just want to give the Dems the finger? We’ll never know.

    I can’t help thinking that we’re suddenly going to see a lot of “journalists” publishing facts about Trump that never saw the light of day during the campaign. Settling lawsuits, acknowledging his promises are unachievable, and finding endless charges from former employees and mistresses…those might just start popping up…now that he’s elected.
