Here’s a shiny new post to get you all through the wee hours. Given the discussion in the comments to the previous thread, I reckon this is an appropriate musical choice.

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.
President Musk and Trump are both poorly raised, coddled 8 year old boys.
This must be what justice looks like, not vengeful, just peaceful exuberance.
“What are Republicans afraid of?” Everything.
The rest of the comments were smacking Boebert like she was a piñata.
If you tweet it in all caps, that makes it true!
If you thought you’d already seen people saying the stupidest things possible on the internet, prepare yourselves.
Tick tock motherfuckers!
They love authoritarianism, but only when they get to be the authoritarians.
We are aware of all internet traditions.
Radicalized white males who support Trump are pitching a tent in the abyss.
Dumb motherfuckers cannot understand a consequence that most 4 year olds have fully sorted out.
After dobbs, women are no longer free.
If you don’t believe freedom is for everybody, then the thing you love isn’t freedom, it is privilege.
Fear or fury? The choice is ours.
Insiders who complain to politico: please report to the white house office of shut the fuck up.
When someone says they “love freedom”, rest assured they don’t mean yours.
The words do not have to be perfect.
A norm that restrains only one side really is not a norm – it is a trap.
Boeing: repeatedly making the case for high speed rail.
Everything is totally normal and fine!!!
“Jesus paying for the sins of everyone is an insult to those who paid for their own sins.”
Only Democrats have agency, apparently.
Weird. Rome has an American Pope and America has a Russian President.
If you still can’t see these things even now, maybe politics isn’t your forte and you should stop writing about it.

I’m to bed. Everyone have a good night and keep your powder dry.

Warren Zevon: Roland The Headless Thompson Gunner…
That said, Jethro Tull is appropriate. At one point early in the year I referred to His Trumpness as Aqualung: Eyeing little girls with bad intent.

@DCrefugee: Ooh, love me some Zevon.

“Lawyers, Guns, and Money” is my favorite Zevon song.

Trump is going to tweet himself right into a mental institution.
Even my cats can see the man is seriously delusional.

@TriassicSands: don’t worry, the MSM will normalize all of that behavior for us and make it all seem benignly eccentric and not scary. Hell, before you know it, cops killing minorities and GOP legislatures denying black people and brown people the ability to vote will just become an everyday thing and we can return to our national slumber of “nothing to see here” and “well, that’s how it should be”.

Hi all! I’m slowly easing my way back into the news and blogs after a few weeks of mourning (and also a holiday with my mom. Wow, NZ is an awesome country! Definitely the place to flee to if you’re an american intent on leaving the States.).
Nothing much to report from down here except that 3 nights ago I seriously, honestly and legitimately dreamed that I was watching the news and the CIA had infiltrated Trump’s dentist’s office and offed him during routine dental surgery. I guess it’s as realistic as anything else going on right now.

On Cuba (as with so much else), you know who’s policy all over the map.

Sigh. Linky broken. Fix:

@TheMightyTrowel: that’s probably an option that’s being explored since he’s refusing security briefings from OUR intelligence agencies, but is talking to and getting information from foreign cough{{{Russian}}}cough countries on unsecured lines…

Reader, I LOLed.

Put my older spawn on a plane back home tonight after a great holiday with my sibs and their in-laws. Obsessively followed every BJ post and all comments ever since 11/8. And even so, sort of managed to keep up with work.
Time to crash, though. Maybe tomorrow will be A Shiny New Day.

@Kristine:
Absolutely. If those three things don’t get you free, nothing will. And I just love the refrain “Dad. get me out of this!”
