Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

If senate republicans had any shame, they’d die of it.

In after Baud. Damn.

People are complicated. Love is not.

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

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

Imperialist aggressors must be defeated, or the whole world loses.

Roe is not about choice. It is about freedom.

When your entire life is steeped in white supremacy, equality feels like discrimination.

They are lying in pursuit of an agenda.

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

GOP baffled that ‘we don’t care if you die’ is not a winning slogan.

… riddled with inexplicable and elementary errors of law and fact

Our messy unity will be our strength.

SCOTUS: It’s not “bribery” unless it comes from the Bribery region of France. Otherwise, it’s merely “sparkling malfeasance”.

If you voted for Trump, you don’t get to speak about ethics, morals, or rule of law.

Weird. Rome has an American Pope and America has a Russian President.

Usually wrong but never in doubt

Their freedom requires your slavery.

Giving in to doom is how authoritarians win.

It is not hopeless, and we are not helpless.

I might just take the rest of the day off and do even more nothing than usual.

Teach a man to fish, and he’ll sit in a boat all day drinking beer.

They want us to be overwhelmed and exhausted. Focus. Resist. Oppose.

The cruelty is the point; the law be damned.

    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*.

    What a very good alien/doggo!

    The consensus on the Philadelphia meetup is converging on The Abbaye this Thursday, 15 June 2023, at around 6:30p Eastern (blog) time. A link:

    The Abbaye, Northern Liberties, Philadelphia

    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.
