Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Beware of advice from anyone for whom Democrats are “they” and not “we.”

Wake up. Grow up. Get in the fight.

“woke” is the new caravan.

When your entire life is steeped in white supremacy, equality feels like discrimination.

If you can’t control your emotions, someone else will.

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

Something needs to be done about our bogus SCOTUS.

Historically it was a little unusual for the president to be an incoherent babbling moron.

I’m more christian than these people and i’m an atheist.

Teach a man to fish, and he’ll sit in a boat all day drinking beer.

You cannot shame the shameless.

Yeah, with this crowd one never knows.

Thanks to your bullshit, we are now under siege.

Tick tock motherfuckers!

Republicans seem to think life begins at the candlelight dinner the night before.

So many bastards, so little time.

Quote tweet friends, screenshot enemies.

In after Baud. Damn.

Whatever happens next week, the fight doesn’t end.

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

Their freedom requires your slavery.

Dear elected officials: Trump is temporary, dishonor is forever.

Of course you can have champagne before noon. That’s why orange juice was invented.

We’re watching the self-immolation of the leading world power on a level unprecedented in human history.

Sorry about Thursday/Friday, I was sick and went to bed early and forgot to post Thursday and then Friday’s I setup the post to publish a day later than desired. At least there was a bonus Saturday post!

For this last day of the year, let’s go out with something nice and blog-appropriate.  Tomorrow we return to Africa from our beloved Compte.

Have a wonderful day, and safe evening. See you next year!

 

Today, pictures from valued commenter Jazzman.

This morning the reflection of a rainbow came through the window of my daughter’s apartment in Lakewood, Colorado and made a bracelet on her dog Gabi’s paw. (The dog’s full name is Gabriella Regenbogen, “Regenbogen” being German for “rainbow”. Coincidence? I think not!)
Had to take a break from my usual lurking; this was too good not to share. There’s more in Lakewood than bigoted bakers–never lose hope!

Thank you so much Jazzman, do send us more when you can.

 

Travel safely everybody, and do share some stories in the comments, even if you’re joining the conversation late. Many folks confide that they go back and read old threads, one reason these are available on the Quick Links menu.

    When I read “nice and blog-appropriate”, I thought “It’s dogs!”

    It’s dogs!

    Or dog, anyway. You are a beautiful pup, Gabi, and rockin’ that bracelet with pride!
