Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

I’m sure you banged some questionable people yourself. We’re allowed to grow past that.

Chutkan laughs. Lauro sits back down.

Anyone who bans teaching American history has no right to shape America’s future.

If you are in line to indict donald trump, stay in line.

I didn’t have alien invasion on my 2023 BINGO card.

The gop couldn’t organize an orgy in a whorehouse with a fist full of 50s.

“What are Republicans afraid of?” Everything.

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

Narcissists are always shocked to discover other people have agency.

These days, even the boring Republicans are nuts.

No one could have predicted…

Can we lighten up on the doomsday scenarios?

if you can’t see it, then you are useless in the fight to stop it.

Technically true, but collectively nonsense

Everything is totally normal and fine!!!

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

They are lying in pursuit of an agenda.

Tick tock motherfuckers!

I have other things to bitch about but those will have to wait.

“That’s what the insurrection act is for!”

Ah, the different things are different argument.

If I’m reading the CBS site correctly, it’s Wales vs. Denmark at noon EDT today, and Italy vs. Austria at 3pm EDT.

It seems like this is where the competition gets intense. FYWP theoretically lets me schedule posts in advance, but those posts won’t actually show up unless a front-pager is here to ‘release’ it at the time.

So… that’s two potential pitfalls. But let’s experiment: I’ll ‘schedule’ posts for noon and 3pm, and if either or neither falls to show up in a timely fashion, y’all can come back here and mock me, okay?

Update from WaterGirl at 10:am:  I have an alarm set for each post, so I will make sure that the posts show up at the appointed times.  If the times somehow change, I will be counting on you guys to please let me know.

I asked the Spousal Unit (a professional tech writer, who doesn’t follow the news as closely as I do) whether he’d heard about McAfee’s death. He said Yeah — the man died because he couldn’t stop being a libertarian.

Which made me wonder, as someone who’d been diagnosed with OCD: How many hardcore libertarians got there because they’re neurodivergent?
