Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Tick tock motherfuckers!

We cannot abandon the truth and remain a free nation.

Let me eat cake. The rest of you could stand to lose some weight, frankly.

Please don’t feed the bears.

It’s always darkest before the other shoe drops.

When the time comes to make an endorsement, the pain of NYT editors will be palpable as they reluctantly whisper “Biden.”

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

My years-long effort to drive family and friends away has really paid off this year.

A snarling mass of vitriolic jackals

Pessimism assures that nothing of any importance will change.

New McCarthy, same old McCarthyism.

So many bastards, so little time.

Wow, I can’t imagine what it was like to comment in morse code.

“Let’s not pretend [Trump] wants to engage in high-minded discourse.”

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

Speaking of republicans, is there a way for a political party to declare intellectual bankruptcy?

Republicans choose power over democracy, every day.

Conservatism: there are people the law protects but does not bind and others who the law binds but does not protect.

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

If marriage is the equivalent of selling yourself into slavery, women with self respect should reject the offer.

Never entrust democracy to any process that requires republicans to act in good faith.

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

The party of Reagan has become the party of Putin.

It’s not hopeless, and we’re not helpless.

My Gift To You

This post is in: ,

I was originally not going to share this, but do you remember the other night when I was telling you how Thurston chewed my mask and Joelle had to fashion one out of a bandanna and fishnet stockings? Well, we took a picture because of how truly absurd it looked, and every time I look at it I laugh. And with all the fuckery going on in the world, I thought you could use a laugh, too:

My Gift To You

That’s some nightmare fuel- how’d you like waking up to that shitshow.

YOU ARE WELCOME.

    Sorry, way OT but from Quds Net Network (yes, biased, but also revealing): priority delivery for Israel, sweet FA for Ukraine … I despair …

    Media Coverage: The United States has announced plans to expedite an arms deal with Israel. Israeli media reported that the deal includes the delivery of thousands of military reinforcements, including F-35 and F-15 aircraft, as well as Apache helicopters. Israel has requested priority delivery due to the current situation.

    Anger and confusion on Hill as Trump appears to have blown up delicate compromise on immigration — and with it, aid to Ukraine and Israel. Senators now scrambling to figure out what’s next.
    Thune says they’re getting close to seeing if they need a “Plan B” after months of talks.…

    The bandana twists hanging off to the sides like you have crimson chimeric dog ears are what does it for me.

    I love this so much.  And I needed that belly laugh today (your facial expression makes it for me). ❤️

    @Elizabelle:

    I thought it looked more like Santa recovering from his hard day’s night of work on Christmas Eve/wee hours of Christmas morning.

    I gotta say, Joelle must really, really love you.

    Consider yourself a very lucky man, and let her cut the butter however she wants.

    Been on the road all day, only to have this welcome me when I finally got the hotel wifi sorted.

     

    AND IT IS GREAT!!

     

    Thanks, Cole. I needed the chuckle.

    And a very lovely gift it is!

    When Ohio Dad first got his CPAP, I worried that the motor would make noise and either keep me up or wake me up. What happened was, the motor was too quiet to hear and the lack of snores meant I could sleep soundly.

    So when I see this get-up, I am happy for Joelle’s peaceful slumbers.

    Are you ever going to play Santa, John? That beard would work nicely!

    Well, at least this is (maybe) proof of life and we can assume Steve did not take over the account when he found out that he was taking a Cross country journey in the car. 🙂

    I have to show this picture to my husband. About a month ago one of our kittens bit a hole in his CPAP tubing.

    As a nasal pillow user, I got a terrific laugh out of this,.  I have often put off replacements to the point of *almost* being in this situation, but not *quite*. ;-)

    Late to the party, I know, but I’m getting sort of a “jolly Lovecraftian Krampus” vibe. Thanks for the laffs, JC!
