Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

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

Well, whatever it is, it’s better than being a Republican.

This chaos was totally avoidable.

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

Polls are now a reliable indicator of what corporate Republicans want us to think.

One lie, alone, tears the fabric of reality.

🎶 Those boots were made for mockin’ 🎵

Stand up, dammit!

Peak wingnut was a lie.

Today in our ongoing national embarrassment…

“Facilitate” is an active verb, not a weasel word.

Stay strong, because they are weak.

“What are Republicans afraid of?” Everything.

Fight them, without becoming them!

The desire to stay informed is directly at odds with the need to not be constantly enraged.

Only Democrats have agency, apparently.

Lick the third rail, it tastes like chocolate!

After dobbs, women are no longer free.

Hell hath no fury like a farmer bankrupted.

It may be funny to you motherfucker, but it’s not funny to me.

Hey hey, RFK, how many kids did you kill today?

They traffic in fear. it is their only currency. if we are fearful, they are winning.

Nothing worth doing is easy.

Trumpflation is an intolerable hardship for every American, and it’s Trump’s fault.

    I would love to meet Henry. His face is so adorable and he looks ultimately pettable.

    WaterGirl, did you bake your Arraignment/Birthday cake for tomorrow?

    My hips feel painfully dislocated looking at Henry’s splay.

    I see a lotta doggos in my ‘hood.  I’m still wearing a mask in foreign buildings, but I think it’s high time I started asking their owners if I could pet ’em.  B/c they’re all so doggone *cute*.

    We’ll promptly announce any further changes, but at this point, we’ll probably book a table for at least 8 people or so. Come one, come all — the more, the merrier!

    @Jackie: I have not!

    Too busy catching up on work to have thought about it.  Also, I feel less celebrate-y now that Cannon has been assigned to the case.

    But he’s still being indicted and it will still be my birthday, so I will *have to make southern cobbler (with sour cherries) in the morning!

    *Not really a burden to make yummy cherry cobbler!

    Apparently talking to myself….. *6 comments in a row for me, possibly a personal best!  (worst?)

    Goodnight everyone!

    edit: now 7!

    @WaterGirl: We will not let Cannon ruin our day(s)! My BD follows yours😊

    Today’s comments had a lot of negativity/gloom and doom. I ignored. In Jack Smith we trust!

    @Jackie: i think everybody’s been burned by Fitzmas and Mueller so we are wary in putting a lot of trust in TFG getting what he deserves.

    @Leto: Okay now I’m jealous! But having met Suzanne previously y’all are in for a treat. She’s an absolute delight.

    @karen marie: i have a feeling there’s a lot of people he’s screwed over the years who are going to enjoy watching him go through this. All the lawyers he screwed and all the subcontractors and vendors he stiffed. This guy caused people to go out of business.

    @WaterGirl: Oooh! What is a southern cobbler? I have some sour cherries from last year in the freezer, and I could make a cobbler with them.

    We’re going to fly the flag tomorrow in honor of the day.

    @opiejeanne:

    Perfect about the flag, it’s great not to have to fly it upside down!

    I am from the south, and I have no idea what Southern cobbler is.  My mom just made cobbler.
