Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

We are builders in a constant struggle with destroyers. keep building.

In my day, never was longer.

There are a lot more evil idiots than evil geniuses.

Usually wrong but never in doubt

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

Speaker Mike Johnson is a vile traitor to the House and the Constitution.

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

Republicans got rid of McCarthy. Democrats chose not to save him.

Roe is not about choice. It is about freedom.

Giving in to doom is how authoritarians win.

After dobbs, women are no longer free.

America is going up in flames. The NYTimes fawns over MAGA celebrities. No longer a real newspaper.

The words do not have to be perfect.

Of course you can have champagne before noon. That’s why orange juice was invented.

If a good thing happens for a bad reason, it’s still a good thing.

Nancy smash is sick of your bullshit.

The real work of an opposition party is to oppose.

The lights are all blinking red.

Fight them, without becoming them!

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

They were going to turn on one another at some point. It was inevitable.

The snowflake in chief appeared visibly frustrated when questioned by a reporter about egg prices.

If you are still in the gop, you are either an extremist yourself, or in bed with those who are.

Reality always lies in wait for … Democrats.

These reports and images are still coming in, so I’ll be posting one a day going forward, until we run out.  Great reminders that we only lose if we don’t fight.

Some great signs sent in by …

I’m a lurker – only posted a few times as Waitingformountainlife. But I wanted to send pictures from the small very conservative town of Murphys. (We can’t get rid of our rep Tom McClintock even though he doesn’t live here).

I stole my sign from an earlier post on BJ.

    I love that top picture. Folks are so creative with their insults (and the truth)!

    These are so great because, when you’re the proverbial “One of Ten Democrats in the county”, it’s so valuable to remind everybody else around you that you’re there and won’t be dismissed so easily.

    👋 Hi neighbor! I live on the western side of the county. Tom McClintock!  Ugh. He’s so awful and we’ve been stuck with him for what seems like forever.

    We can always count on Murphys to show up for Dems, though.  Thank you!

    Oh, man. Old, old friend of mine lived in Murphys for the last 40+ years. Passed away suddenly about a year ago.

    We did that ‘evidence based science’ cheer at the 2017 March for Science!

    I loved it because of course in all the other “What do we want?” “When do we want it?” cheers the answer to the latter is always “Now!”  Except for us scientific types!

    Great set. I’ve been to Murphys many times–lovely and classic Gold Rush town, plus Twain country.

    Sorry about McClintock, the baggiest of carpetbaggers and as persistent as genital herpes. Parachutes into a safe R district, never to leave.

    It begins.

    The National Weather Service office in Sacramento announced Tuesday it would reduce monitoring and postings on its widely followed social media accounts, cutting back on real-time weather updates used by thousands.

    “Going forward, this account will have limited monitoring and posting,” officials wrote in a brief statement online. “We always recommend having many ways to receive hazardous weather watches and warnings!”

    The cutback would affect its presence on X, formerly known as Twitter, and Facebook. The weather service office has roughly 97,000 followers on the former and more than 165,000 followers on the Meta-owned platform.

    No explanation was provided for the decision. Forecasters in the Arden Arcade-based facility directed media queries to National Weather Service headquarters. Officials at the weather service’s suburban Washington, D.C., headquarters said Wednesday in a statement that its bureaus’ social media platforms “have always been subject to staff availability,” without addressing the reason for the Sacramento cutbacks.

    “Social media is one of the many sources of information from the National Weather Service,” said Michael Musher, an NWS spokesperson. “When it comes to staying alert, we strongly recommend that people consult multiple sources.”

    Most of which rely on the NOAA and NWS.

    @lowtechcyclist: Well, maybe . It used to be said that the marching chant of the Fabian Society in the UK went:

    “What do we want?” “Gradual Change!”
    “When do we want it?” “In due course!”

    BWAHAHAHAHAHAH, suckers:
    White House insists Trump’s tariff reversal was his strategy all along

    If you believe that, come talk to me about some deals we can make.

    What’s fun is watching prominent Republicans giving Trump blowjobs.

    Squeaker Johnson:

    Behold the “Art of the Deal.”

    President Trump has created leverage, brought MANY countries to the table, and will deliver for American workers, American manufacturers, and America’s future!

    Howard Lutnick, swapping the L and N in his surname:

    Scott Bessent and I sat with the President while he wrote one of the most extraordinary Truth posts of his Presidency.

    I’m sure plenty more will be along shortly.

    If what Trump did was all misdirection, I hope he won’t mind replenishing my retirement account, which suffered a decent loss during his sick little game.

    This afternoon, the S&P gained back more than 2/3 of what it had lost since the beginning of the month, if that helps.

    @Scout211: Hi! Murphys did show up – there were about 300 of us. I counted 2 middle fingers and 1 boo – lots of honks and thumbs up though. As we were driving down we were saying “what if it’s only us 5”. But turnout was good for a small town. I’m the one with the pink sign – totally stole it from an earlier post here. We had to pose under the Murphys Hotel sign – it’s the local trumper hangout.
