Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Meanwhile over at truth Social, the former president is busy confessing to crimes.

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

If marriage is the equivalent of selling yourself into slavery, women with self respect should reject the offer.

This isn’t Democrats spending madly. This is government catching up.

The line between political reporting and fan fiction continues to blur.

Their boy Ron is an empty plastic cup that will never know pudding.

Battle won, war still ongoing.

The most dangerous place for a black man in America is in a white man’s imagination.

Proof that we need a blogger ethics panel.

No offense, but this thread hasn’t been about you for quite a while.

We won’t go back.

Roe isn’t about choice, it’s about freedom.

In my day, never was longer.

Technically true, but collectively nonsense

It’s easy to sit in safety and prescribe what other people should be doing.

Despite his magical powers, I don’t think Trump is thinking this through, to be honest.

When you’re in more danger from the IDF than from Russian shelling, that’s really bad.

We are aware of all internet traditions.

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

“But what about the lurkers?”

This must be what justice looks like, not vengeful, just peaceful exuberance.

It’s always darkest before the other shoe drops.

Republicans would impeach Biden if he bit into a whole Kit Kat rather than breaking the sections apart.

A sufficient plurality of insane, greedy people can tank any democratic system ever devised, apparently.

    “Uh, no, I can’t sell you those battery cables.”
    “Why?”
    “Computer’s out.”
    “How come?”
    “Uhhhh”

    Ooh, this could be interesting.

    Last month, lawyers representing former Apprentice contestant Summer Zervos, one of the women who has accused President Trump of sexual misconduct, served the Trump campaign with a subpoena asking it to preserve any documents that it had pertaining to her and any other women who have made similar allegations against Trump.

    Buzzfeed News reported the filing on Sunday, noting that is related to a defamation suit that Zervos filed against Trump in January after he responded to her and other’s assault allegations by denying the charges and calling the women liars. In a press conference last October, Zervos claimed that Trump had groped and kissed her at the Beverly Hills Hotel in 2007 after she had gone to meet with him about the possibility of taking a job with the Trump Organization.

    A short time later police received a call from an employee at O’Reilly Auto Parts,… who said that someone had jammed a British Fantasy Series Metal Beaded Flogger into the business’s breaker box, knocking out power to the business. Longmont Power & Communications responded to O’Reilly’s and removed the whip.

    @trollhattan: I believe Trump threatened lawsuits against any woman who accuses him of sexual harassment. Glad that some are calling his bluff.

    This isn’t in Greeley? I’d expect more of that kind of repressed behavior from somewhere more conservative.

    @trollhattan: Hopefully it will be more than just watching him squirm. It would be quite ironic if Trump was sued for sexual harassment while in office because Republicans went after President Clinton in the 90s and got a court to determine that a sitting President can be dragged into court. Ha!

    Florida, north west version.
    In FL it’s the heat and humidity that does it.
    In CO it’s the cold and snow that does it.
    Or maybe……….
    It’s just the fucking crazy. Location and weather have nothing to do with it.

    Eh, If it happens, the Repubs will simply take it to the SC again and THIS time Justice Roberts et al. will decide that the first decision was WRONG, WRONG, WRONG (unless it comes up against another Democratic President) and will say the case must be held in abeyance or outright dismissed. I have zero faith in our Supreme Court.

    @lgerard: To be fair, the squirrels around here often carry plague fleas. My neighbor lady hates them beyond reason, and goes after them with a pellet gun.

    A man in Longmont recently shot a man in the ass because the other man wanted him to stop feeding the squirrels.

    @raven: I live in Southern Maryland and I’ve seen signs advertising a “dogfest” weekend. Never attended but I may just do so. Sounds like a lot of fun to be surrounded by cute dogs. That would be my idea of heaven (along with some cats and rabbits).

    @Patricia Kayden: One thing my wife and the committee have done is to stay away from corporate sponsorship. The dog food companies seem to get in there and really ruin things. The other thing is no “best of stuff”. Keeps it cool.

    @dexwood: We use it every day for our walks because Lil Bit just can’t hack it at all and there Bohdi rides half way so they are used to being in it. My wife is really good at decorating stuff so she made the cover and costumes.

    Kaapernick might or might not have a winnable legal case against the NFL. I’d like to think so, but who knows.

    But really, ABC, the LEAD STORY on the 600p news?
    I know I’m old, and I foolishly expect journamalism with my journamalism and maybe even, you know, priorities, but wasn’t there some nubile blond that went missing?

    Today, I am officially burned the fuck out on politics. I’m tired, I’m cranky, my errands took way too long and I still didn’t get everything I need, and I’m behind on every project on my plate. Goddamnit. I can’t even find the To Do list paper that I bought to make my goddamned To Do list.

    @TaMara (HFG): Intriguing that th folks at the auto parts store knew the precise make and model of the whip. Perhaps they thought the sign “beatings will continue until morale improves” a sound motivational principle?
