Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

There are a lot more evil idiots than evil geniuses.

If you still can’t see these things even now, maybe politics isn’t your forte and you should stop writing about it.

This has so much WTF written all over it that it is hard to comprehend.

People are complicated. Love is not.

They love authoritarianism, but only when they get to be the authoritarians.

Wow, you are pre-disappointed. How surprising.

We will not go back.

Everything is totally normal and fine!!!

Their shamelessness is their super power.

Sometimes the world just tells you your cat is here.

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

Republicans don’t want a speaker to lead them; they want a hostage.

In my day, never was longer.

Impressively dumb. Congratulations.

Do we throw up our hands or do we roll up our sleeves? (hint, door #2)

Republicans in disarray!

I swear, each month of 2025 will have its own history degree.

Let the trolls come, and then ignore them. that’s the worst thing you can do to a troll.

“Jesus paying for the sins of everyone is an insult to those who paid for their own sins.”

The arc of the moral universe does not bend itself. it is up to us to bend it.

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

He wakes up lying, and he lies all day.

Since we are repeating ourselves, let me just say fuck that.

    @amk: lol likely after moving, late and tired, he clocked the update button. No biggie, just a pain for y’all until I can adjust things.

    Alain, sending you a delicious cup of strong coffee. With croissant.

    Thank you, and what a headache to wake up to. On the positive side, no one is taking your earlier work for granted. (Comment numbers rock.)

    @Elizabelle: FYI, a good croissant will get you anything! Now off to make some breakfast. I’ll be back in a bit when more conscious,

    I went to the relatively small “rally” here. They had a permit to be there but not to march. It was held at the Athena statue so they tried to “march” around that. It reminded me of Mecca but folks did the best with what they had. The sound was awful even in a really small space and, since we were right next to a busy street, every time someone honked people responded with “whoo hoo’s” that made it even more impossible to hear.

    It wasn’t John, it was Adam. He sent me an email mid-night. Sorry John, didn’t mean to point a finger; I assumed other FPers wouldn’t update things.

    I think it was OzarkHillbilly what done it. I think his “what did Alain do NOW?” comment from the thread below was just a smokescreen. And Quinerly was obviously in on it.

    Next up: my theory as to how the alleged Russian hacking was a false flag operation by Hitlary.

    @amk: through Pootie’s Scottish connections, I believe. My sources indicate he was paid in haggis and scotch.

    I wonder if the very-larger-than-usual number of photos posted yesterday are part of the mess up?

    @rikyrah: I clicked pretty quickly. The caller I heard was a real misogynist. Women should be grateful their don’t live in Saudi Arabia. Men should be paid more because they are more likely to be killed on the job. Etc.

    Thanks Alain. I noticed something overnite and thought it was a browser update. (Yeah,I was sleep deprived then.)

    dance around in your bones

    I thought I was hallucinating – from one thread to the next everything got tiny (Thanks Cheese Whiz!) and weird-looking (ditto “Prezz*!) …..still looks borked-o-rama today.
    ???? sigh…..

    ETA: Ok, now looks better but things still missing – who stole my cheese?!

    Testing comments features here.

    Hi Alain, hope you have been well!

    Editing.

    Second edit:
    Alain:

    The back button isn’t right anymore.

    After posting this comment and then editing it, I went back to your comment about Adam, scrolled to a reply comment, hit the back button and it brought me back to this comment at the bottom, not back to your comment about Adam where I wanted to go.

    Another Scott

    @amk: Thanks for those pictures.

    Trump is such an inhuman monster. :-(

    You know he’s counting the days until he divorces her so he can get someone younger; probably someone who looks just like Ivanka…

    I think her cribbing of Michelle’s speech shows that she probably has a decent heart, and she really is trapped in a golden cage with him, but everyone makes choices and she’s living with hers…

    We really were so lucky that Barack and Michelle were leading us for the last 8 years.

    Cheers,
    Scott.

    Alain – If an update borked the site, I’m assuming you’re not using a child theme to store all the site tweaksand modifications. A child theme is essentially a subfolder in the theme that won’t be wiped clean when the primary theme is updated. Apologies if you’re using one and the update still f’ed things up.
