Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Second rate reporter says what?

If senate republicans had any shame, they’d die of it.

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

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

Take hopelessness and turn it into resilience.

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

“Cheese and Kraken paired together for the appetizer trial.”

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

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

I’m pretty sure there’s only one Jack Smith.

A thin legal pretext to veneer over their personal religious and political desires

It’s time for the GOP to dust off that post-2012 autopsy, completely ignore it, and light the party on fire again.

“And when the Committee says to “report your income,” that could mean anything!

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Insiders who complain to politico: please report to the white house office of shut the fuck up.

I see no possible difficulties whatsoever with this fool-proof plan.

He seems like a smart guy, but JFC, what a dick!

You don’t get rid of your umbrella while it’s still raining.

In short, I come down firmly on all sides of the issue.

As long as McCarthy is Speaker, the House will never be in order.

I’d try pessimism, but it probably wouldn’t work.

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

He imagines himself as The Big Bad, Who Is Universally Feared… instead of The Big Jagoff, Who Is Universally Mocked.

This year has been the longest three days of putin’s life.

Open Thread: Bixby's Ducklings

Bixby was a good boy tonight and calmly hung out with the ducklings. He was quiet enough that the ducklings decided it was okay to investigate him. He was a happy boy. He was not as happy when Gabe joined the party.

I’m off to put the big ducks to bed. We are expecting anywhere from 8 inches to 3 feet of snow this weekend, LOL. I figure by Friday they’ll let us know for sure. Meanwhile, I’m prepping the big ducks for the worst – it’ll be warm enough for them to stay in their coop, but I suspect I’ll be doing a lot of proactive shoveling to their coop and around it if we get the big numbers.

Looks like we could use an open thread.

    I have no ducks and no snow either.  I did have a raccoon in the front yard a bit ago, and it rained today!

    Away from the computing machine for most of the afternoon. only now saw folks asking about my well being.

    Fine. Safe.

    Dry? Not so much (outside). Still rains blowing in. Depending on where one is on the island, there’s been between 8 and 16 inches already come down since Monday. Forecasts are for on and off, albeit lessening, rains straight through this coming Monday.

    Love your new ducks TaMara, so cute.

    It is interesting reading about your experiences with the Covid-19 vaccines. We here in Aus have managed to get about 60000 in arms so far, with goal of vaccinating all adults (& possibly children) by the end of October. This equates to 200000/day. Ain’t going to happen. But as we have no community transmission, end of the year should do.
    I have just crept ever so much closer to 60 today. With this and comorbidities I will qualify in group 1b. At least a month away I think.

    Am very impressed with your new executive and senate (the house has been great for 2+ years) and hope, as you all do that the filibuster can be destroyed or toyed with.

    Everything that happens in the US either effects us all or we follow in lock step. Thank all that is secular that the planets greatest menace is out of power. Please may the lessor bastard-idiots be soon to follow.

    Firs thing I saw on breakfast news this morning was someone praising Rupert Murdoch. Just for a second I thought YES, he’s gone. But no just his 90th birthday. What a bugger to share with that soulless gouhl.

    best to all the jackals.

    FYI, more local weather related stuff.

    Federal officials have approved Hawaii Gov. David Ige’s request to declare a disaster for Maui County amid drought conditions that have persisted for two years.

    State officials announced this week that U.S. Secretary of Agriculture Thomas Vilsack approved the request for a secretarial agricultural disaster declaration, the Maui News reported Wednesday.

    Even as parts of the county experience heavy rain and flooding this week, other parts remain in some of the worst possible drought conditions. Maui County includes the islands of Maui, Lanai and Molokai. Source

    Finally got a bit of real rain here today. The last big storm broke up somewhere in Irvine. Pieces passed north and south of here and we got nada.

    Well, I’m all set for spring forward anyway. My internal clock has woken me up at 4am every morning this week. Next week I’ll probably still be dead asleep until 6 ?

    Cute overload! You could do a children’s book with these pictures. I’d buy it, and I have no children.
