Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

You are so fucked. Still, I wish you the best of luck.

Quote tweet friends, screenshot enemies.

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

The real work of an opposition party is to oppose.

I am pretty sure these ‘journalists’ were not always such a bootlicking sycophants.

Someone should tell Republicans that violence is the last refuge of the incompetent, or possibly the first.

Prediction: the gop will rethink its strategy of boycotting future committees.

Just because you believe it, that does not make it true.

Give the craziest people you know everything they want and hope they don’t ask for more? Great plan.

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

Wow, you are pre-disappointed. How surprising.

It’s always darkest before the other shoe drops.

Books are my comfort food!

They think we are photo bombing their nice little lives.

All hail the time of the bunny!

Radicalized white males who support Trump are pitching a tent in the abyss.

Authoritarian republicans are opposed to freedom for the rest of us.

Fuck these fucking interesting times.

“Until such time as the world ends, we will act as though it intends to spin on.”

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

If you still can’t see these things even now, maybe politics isn’t your forte and you should stop writing about it.

This fight is for everything.

Within six months Twitter will be fully self-driving.

Petty moves from a petty man.

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!
