Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

When I decide to be condescending, you won’t have to dream up a fantasy about it.

’Where will you hide, Roberts, the laws all being flat?’

The rest of the comments were smacking Boebert like she was a piñata.

Disagreements are healthy; personal attacks are not.

A snarling mass of vitriolic jackals

In my day, never was longer.

Pessimism assures that nothing of any importance will change.

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

I like political parties that aren’t owned by foreign adversaries.

Stamping your little feets and demanding that they see how important you are? Not working anymore.

I’ve spoken to my cat about this, but it doesn’t seem to do any good.

We need to vote them all out and restore sane Democratic government.

Petty moves from a petty man.

“The difference between stupidity and genius is that genius has its limits.”

Oppose, oppose, oppose. do not congratulate. this is not business as usual.

The Giant Orange Man Baby is having a bad day.

“Can i answer the question? No you can not!”

Speaker Mike Johnson is a vile traitor to the House and the Constitution.

Humiliatingly small and eclipsed by the derision of millions.

75% of people clapping liked the show!

Republicans choose power over democracy, every day.

Russian mouthpiece, go fuck yourself.

American history and black history cannot be separated.

You know it’s bad when the Project 2025 people have to create training videos on “How To Be Normal”.

    I had no idea so many different kinds of creatures were so fond of watermelon! Adorable videos.

    It’s a beautiful sunny 75 degree weather here today .. absolutely perfect.

    At a beer place in a warehouse area, outside  a perfect place to be with people discipled in social distancing and wearing masks!

    After a hot walk, I put ice cubes in my doggo’s water bowl. He delicately fishes them out, jauntily carries them onto the couch, and cronches them all over the place. Then I get to sit in ice shavings and cool my butt off. Win/win!

    Who doesn’t love watermelon?

    Drove out to a local farm today and got a mass of awesomely fresh peaches and veggies (broccoli, baby beets, corn and a couple beefsteak tomatoes, which we don’t grow). Also stopped at my sister’s to shake her blueberry bush and got about a pint of those. Tomorrow I’m going to make a peach and blueberry gallete. I have a spatchcocked chicken on the grill and we’re having that with corn and some rice. Tomorrow, it’s Demonicos with those beefsteaks stuffed with breadcrumbs and Gruyere and roasted beets. I’ll probably make a pasta with the broccoli and leftover chicken next week. I do love a summer harvest.

    Watching the second video, I did not know you could put a rat on a leash.  Then I found this article identifying them as African giant pouched rats.  They can sniff out landmines and diseases.  Apparently the ones at Point Defiance Zoo did not pass their certification test so they just hang out in their little harnesses at the zoo.

    I was going to make a joke about “hot” London weather, but it’s into the 90s there.

    Actual hot.

    Another Scott

    @Mike G: In July 2015 we were fortunate enough to vacation a couple of weeks in Switzerland.  During one of those horrible heat waves.  It was 32C (90F) in Murten (at 1500′ on a lake) at 11 AM.  It was warm enough on the Jungfraujoch that some people were hiking around on the glacier in short sleeves.

    :-(

    Cheers,
    Scott.

    @Major Major Major Major: My daughter had a couple of hamsters back in high school. They would get cross if they didn’t get their treats. And were vocal and appreciative when they did get them. Cute little buggers.
