Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

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

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

JFC, are there no editors left at that goddamn rag?

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

Consistently wrong since 2002

Thanks to your bullshit, we are now under siege.

Is it negotiation when the other party actually wants to shoot the hostage?

Battle won, war still ongoing.

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

Do not shrug your shoulders and accept the normalization of untruths.

If you thought you’d already seen people saying the stupidest things possible on the internet, prepare yourselves.

This really is a full service blog.

New McCarthy, same old McCarthyism.

Republicans want to make it harder to vote and easier for them to cheat.

Everyone is in a bubble, but some bubbles model reality far better than others!

We still have time to mess this up!

SCOTUS: It’s not “bribery” unless it comes from the Bribery region of France. Otherwise, it’s merely “sparkling malfeasance”.

Second rate reporter says what?

Everybody saw this coming.

In after Baud. Damn.

The choice is between normal and crazy.

One of our two political parties is a cult whose leader admires Vladimir Putin.

… gradually, and then suddenly.

That’s my take and I am available for criticism at this time.

    Well he’s sure enjoying it but I can’t tell what it actually is. Care to enlighten me?

    I hope that if you mean by “A Day” that it wasn’t a good one that tomorrow will be better.

    I’m with you. This week has been the absolute pits, interspersed with occasional, “Hooray, that’s finally done.” moments.

    And poor WarriorGirl had a writing assignment. These always suck. They take her four times as long as a normal person, because she’s a perfectionist. But it’s done. Hooray!

    I love Samwise. He is gorgeous. And wise.

    Every time I think Trump cannot possibly piss me off more, he manages to surprise me with his pettiness. Just saw something (would have to dig a bit to find the link, but will if necessary) indicating that when he was in Japan over Memorial Day weekend he ordered that the USS John McCain be kept out of sight during his visit to the naval base.

    Honestly, has there ever been a more resentful, petulant, fearful, thin-skinned ninny occupying the Oval Office than this waste of oxygen?

    @SiubhanDuinne: When I first heard this story my impression was that it wasn’t Trump, it was the the White House Military Office that had issued the orders to keep Trump from seeing the ship and saying something stupid. However I just read where Trump tweeted this evening that he didn’t know about it ahead of time, so chances are he probably did.

    @Gin & Tonic:

    It’s not even named after that John McCain.

    I thought it was named after all three John McCains. But it hardly matters. Amazing that a PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES would be so fucking petty as to order that battleship out of his sight line during a visit to the naval base in Japan. I’m out of words to express my sadness and outrage.

    P.S. And now, of course, Trump and the WH are totally denying that they ever asked for any such thing.

    Uh huh. Uh huh.

    @SiubhanDuinne:

    This warship was originally named after John S. McCain, Sr., and John S. McCain, Jr.,[1] both admirals in the United States Navy. John S. McCain, Sr. commanded the aircraft carrier USS Ranger, and later the Fast Carrier Task Force during the latter stages of World War II. John S. McCain, Jr. commanded the submarines USS Gunnel and USS Dentuda during World War II. He subsequently held a number of posts, rising to Commander-in-Chief of the United States Pacific Command, before retiring in 1972. These men were, respectively, the grandfather and father of Senator John S. McCain III.[5]

    On 11 July 2018, at a rededication ceremony, Senator John McCain was added as a namesake, along with his father and grandfather.[6]

    The ship is named for all three John McCains, first two were admirals and the last one was just recently added on (this is all over the news tonight and also gets a lot of attention on the Twitmachine). The ship is in Japan for repairs, and is in dock fairly near the USS Wasp, aboard which the talking yam festivities were to be held. So somebody had the idea of draping a tarp over the fantail of the McCain, so the name at least could be hidden, and this was done per all the pics I’ve seen tonight. Also, too, the McCain’s sailors, who wear caps with the ship’s name displayed, were given the day off. Of all the….I can’t even….Jeebus H Cripes…ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME? Oh and Megan isn’t particularly happy either. ETA I see Gin & Tonic has it more formally.

    He also wished a “happy Memorial Day” to the Japanese sailors on board the aircraft carrier Kaga.

    Man, it’s 2003 all over again. Step up for that freedom gas, y’all.

    Increasing export capacity from the Freeport LNG project is critical to spreading freedom gas throughout the world by giving America’s allies a diverse and affordable source of clean energy
    …
    With the U.S. in another year of record-setting natural gas production, I am pleased that the Department of Energy is doing what it can to promote an efficient regulatory system that allows for molecules of U.S. freedom to be exported to the world

    I have to assume that molecules of U.S. freedom is what Trump produces after eating a taco salad.

    Samwise is one fine cutie. Hope things get better for you all. We had storms passing through this afternoon, lost net connectivity off and on, too much water in the air for the sat to connect. Huge thunder peal, for 30 or 40 seconds at once. Not that much rain, more noise!

    Another Scott

    @Gin & Tonic: I thought so too, but Wikipedia says it’s named after all 3 of them (Sr., Jr., III) as of 2018.

    Weird.

    Oh, and the impression I had was that staff tried to hide it from Donnie because he would blow up if he saw it; not that Donnie demanded it be hidden. Who knows…

    (The daily drama with our incompetent, criminal, man-child, brain-damaged, God-Emperor is exhausting.)

    Cheers,

    It is rare that I find myself on Meghan McCain’s side of pretty much anything, but if she’s outraged over this I will gladly side with her.

    Just this once.

    Police brutality comes at a cost.

    The family of a US man who died of dehydration while in jail will receive $6.75m (£6m) from Milwaukee County and a private company that ran inmate care.

    Terrill Thomas, 38, was found dead in his cell in Milwaukee County Jail in 2016 – seven days after officers shut off his water supply as punishment.

    His death was later ruled a homicide by the Milwaukee County Medical Examiner, the result of “profound dehydration”.

    Thomas’ attorneys called the sum one of the largest ever for a jail death.

    After an inquest into Thomas’ death, Milwaukee prosecutors filed criminal charges against three jail staffers who were involved in blocking Thomas’ water supply or who lied to police during the investigation.

    @SiubhanDuinne: Agree, I find her, as my mother would have said, ‘very hard to take,’ even on a neutral subject. But this one time, I’ll support her. Well…not so much her. But those sailors who serve aboard that ship, and all who came before them, do not merit this debasement, and not least from the staff of the commander in chief, and I think Megan’s ire on their behalf is appropriate.

    @SiubhanDuinne:
    The USS John S. McCain was commissioned in the Senator’s lifetime. Doesn’t the US Navy have a rule against naming a ship after a living person? I think I read somewhere that it does.

    Lordy, it really does say “Freedom gas!”
