Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Celebrate the fucking wins.

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

The real work of an opposition party is to hold the people in power accountable.

The poor and middle-class pay taxes, the rich pay accountants, the wealthy pay politicians.

Republican also-rans: four mules fighting over a turnip.

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

Something needs to be done about our bogus SCOTUS.

Many life forms that would benefit from greater intelligence, sadly, do not have it.

Human rights are not a matter of opinion!

“Can i answer the question? No you can not!”

the 10% who apparently lack object permanence

Whoever he was, that guy was nuts.

Mediocre white men think RFK Jr’s pathetic midlife crisis is inspirational. The bar is set so low for them, it’s subterranean.

Good lord, these people are nuts.

Beware of advice from anyone for whom Democrats are “they” and not “we.”

Tide comes in. Tide goes out. You can’t explain that.

Republicans want to make it harder to vote and easier for them to cheat.

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

Museums are not America’s attic for its racist shit.

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

Narcissists are always shocked to discover other people have agency.

I’d hate to be the candidate who lost to this guy.

Dumb motherfuckers cannot understand a consequence that most 4 year olds have fully sorted out.

The press swings at every pitch, we don’t have to.

    Thanks for all of these posts, WaterGirl.

    This one’s a winner:

    Does this ASS Make My Country look Small?

    Thanks, William D.. San Diego is my hometown when I’m in the US. How many people showed up?  There are a lot of government contracts in that town that are bound to be affected if they aren’t already. Then there’s immigration, education, healthcare…plenty for San Diegans to worry about. And Almond Joy rocks the hat and the sign!

    ETA: Thank you WaterGirl for this post and all the work you do!

    @Scout211: I think there’s a different version of that same sign in somebody else’s collection, too, that was sent in this week.

    I was a Peace/Safety monitor at the San Diego march. (I volunteer because I look so good in a yellow vest.) At Eighth & B I was helping direct the flow of the march when I realized that Sarah Jacobs, my very own representative in the House, was standing about 10 feet away, greeting people and cheering them on. I sidled over to tell her what a great job she’s been doing, and that if she ramps up the anti-Trump stuff we’ll have her back.

    My estimate for the turnout: 15,000-20,000.

    @Hungry Joe: Awesome! I hope the turnout got notice in the local media. I envy you your rep. I got car salesman, Issa–another one whose hiding from his constituents.

    @BC in Illinois: I still have my pussies against Trump (with 3 gorgeous kitties on it) car magnet from 2016.

    I have still been getting compliments on it for all these years, even before he started running again.

    Sadly, my dogs against Romney car magnet faded to nothingness years ago

    @Hungry Joe:

    That’s a great turnout!

    @tokyocali (formerly tokyo ex-pat): San Diego media did a pretty good job, especially the Union-Tribune (I was a reporter there before retirement) and KPBS.

    As for Issa, he’s actually worse than his predecessors, Duncan Hunter and his worthless son, Duncan Very Jr. Once you get about 10 miles inland San Diego County goes from blue to red FAST.

    @Almost80:

    Thanks for the small town update.

    So does 100 people feel like a great turnout for those areas?  Or okay or disappointing?  Surprising?

    @munira:  I am happy every time I see “thousands”.

    Your photo is in one of the ones I have queued up, or maybe yours was in one I posted yesterday?  (losing track of which ones have posted!)

    I am a veteran – USN, Vietnam era, although I was sent the other side of the world from there. I use the VA for my healthcare. It is pretty damn good, especially for those that went to the actual shooting war and have some serious issues – some even this many decades later. I use the VA because it is pretty good healthcare – and I earned it. shitforbrains has about a minus 1000% concept of humanity, public service, really anything to do with any other human. I have zero idea what anyone sees in this POS, why they would vote for his dumb ass, or what they think about this country or actual governing. The only possibility I see is that they think his money makes him smart. Money can buy a decent education but it does not buy a functioning brain. That actually takes a bit of awareness of humanity, the costs, the limitations. He has none of that. Capitalism can be a good concept of a country, it can also be a bad concept, if abused and misused. Two things that power shitforbrains – abuse and misuse.

    I hope we can survive and prosper once again, I’d like to live out my few remaining years being able to once again believe in our country and it’s good and in it’s limitations.

    My favorite from the rally here was “I’d call Trump a c**t, but that would require warmth and depth.”

    Nothing. That’s what they know. Absofuckinglutely nothing. Sportsball and maybe a video game. And the price of eggs. And tariffs something something jobs or whatever.

    The Audacity of Krope

    I must say I am happy about all the corporate wealth Donald Trump is destroying, though I still can’t support him because he is doing this in the name of coercing other countries into (still more) exploitative trade arrangements on our behalf.

    This is why, in the unlikely event this redounds to America’s benefit, I will not be taking my part of the pillaged spoils. The first and most egregious case of strong-arming being the mineral deal with Ukraine.  It’s gonna suck never buying new electronics for the rest of my life. I feel I can learn phone repair, but I’m screwed once the physical components start going.

    @WaterGirl: A pretty good turnout. I was surprised at both places having that many people show up. Both areas are very MAGA. Abilene TX has 130,000, while Granbury has only 11,000. The latter is very close to the Fort Worth-Dallas area, but I doubt anyone traveled from there for it. Anyway, not bad. That in both towns they were able to do this at all is very encouraging.

    @Ruckus: the only possibility I see is that they think his money makes him smart.

    I would argue it’s because Mushroom dick opens and closes his hands as he speaks so it makes him look confident. Bit like Musk steepleing his hands when he speaks so he must be thoughtful.
