party registration is evenly split between Democrat and GOP, so this statement equally refers to both parties. Independents are the largest group of voters in the USA, and at the moment 2/3 of Independents disapprove of trump.
"Look at the way she stuck that landing, Bob. A terrific launch, too. And that little shake of confidence at the exit? Just a command performance."
"You're absolutely right, Jan. We haven't seen anything quite like this since Simone Biles. If the judges don't award her at least a 9.8 I'll be flummoxed."
I lived with a cat (Monroe) that would follow me anywhere. I was out in the back yard with about a foot of fresh snow and he was right behind me hopping from footprint to footprint.
Back when Trump started babbling about Greenland I noted the only prize Europe was going to give him was "Best Pariah Nation" status. Looks like it's still on. The biggest issue will be where to put the UN.
I don't think I've seen any Almodóvar since the 80s or early 90s. Matador, Women on the Edge of a Nervous Breakdown, El Le de Desire, and the one where the grandmother names the lizard (as the subtitles say) "Money."
We lost our measles-free status months ago, because we vote for weak PMs who are waiters to the provinces. Dead children are the ultimate second-class citizens.
Where the fuck did they pull "72 jabs" out from? I've read elsewhere that the feds are lowering the recommended vaccines for school children from 17 to 11.
I was in a zoom meeting with an attorney waiting for another attendee to show up, everyone very important, serious legal stuff. I had nothing to do while I was waiting so I checked the tabs. I was able to smother my laugh. Luckily, the attorney was looking down and didn't notice my twisted smile. Came back later to let the laugh out. Thank you for a little orange cat humor on such a grim day.
Acting like Venezuela is your vassal state and you can kidnap its leader is how you behave if you think the world should be controlled by a few superpowers who do whatever they want within their respective slices of the globe, because the lead poisoning actually pushed your thinking all the way back to 1914.
In a sane country, that graphic showing the kid surrounded by injections would be used as "the wall against disease" or some such. We do not live in a sane country.
I will always remember where I was this day. Five years ago today, I was working at home due to COVID. Had the TeeVee news on in the background because I knew before it happened. Everyone paying attention knew.
Not enough people had really been paying attention though.
As the violence at the Capitol began after Trump told his loser loons to "fight like hell", I asked my better half, "are you seeing this?" She was.
As hours passed, the violence kept getting worse. The mob breeched and fouled the Capitol. We learned later that certain official actors tried to kidnap Vice President Mike Pence, but even he could see that setup and declined to "get in the car" as the violence seethed.
For me, January 6 will always define Trump. It's the best episodic representation of his entire existence. He hatched a failed scheme requiring crime, and its failure required retribution and vendettas, no matter how many people or nations must suffer. And he denied any responsibility.
That's our president.
We had years of good cause after Jan. 6 to ensure he would never again rise to power, but his enablers got busy rewriting history and stonewalling. They told us not to believe our lying eyes. Inside job, etc. It was overdrive DARVO: Deny, attack, reverse victim and offender.
And now chaos reigns, because that is all the man and his minions offer in vast, endless quantity. It's what his voters voted for, and if they say they didn't, remind them if this day, Jan. 6, every day.
I'm sure Acting President Machado is playing him. I have never, ever seen a world leader as narcissistic, egotistically shallow, greedy, grabby, ignorant, infantile, and easily manipulated as him. And world leaders of the dictatorial stripe are notoriously egotistical and yet insecure.

"Stop laughing and get a shovel."
One of the best Tabs headers ever!
"I am furious with you for letting me do this stupid thing that I was going to do whether or not you tried to stop me from doing it."
Thank you for a LOL moment in this sea of terrible news.

I meant to do that.
The definite expression on Orange Cat at the end.
Whoa, nice powder. Finally, we're getting some in the mountains. 🎿
That little snow hat is slaying me still
"Now, get me out of this hole, Can opener."
Ginger thought he was a ninja
When he jumped after the birb
But the snow failed to hold his weight
And he sits there all perturbed

Ginger weirdo.
So, ginger cat.
The Abominable Chonk!
The staring at the end... and the little impatient flick of the paws.
"Well, are you going to get me out or what?"
Whar's my human?
Filming and laughing.
Snowy Cat, Snowy Cat
what are they feeding you?
Snowy Cat, Snowy Cat
it's not your fault
I lived with a cat (Monroe) that would follow me anywhere. I was out in the back yard with about a foot of fresh snow and he was right behind me hopping from footprint to footprint.
I love Monroe and I never even met him.
He was the best. I found him at the Humane Society. He was half Siamese and half Tabby.
Anybody see where the cat is?

OMFG!!! Steven Miller is real nut case! Talking about Venezuela and Greenland like he's ranting all about power taking over!
yer doin it rong stevie

Wait, Pedo wants fewer shots but he also wants to break the MMR vaccine into three separate shots?
Make it make sense, please.
As Barbie says, Math is hard.

Out of Kennedy's ass.

I first read that as kittennap!
I read it as 1974, you know, back when we actually had lead paint.

And he IS STILL enraged, even now, claiming he won 2020.
I saw a great comment that 'Jan 6th' never ended.
Nothing happened to him on that date, so he just continued doing whatever the fuck he wanted.
To this very day.
Asshole
Yup. He should have been arrested shortly after his term ended.
Shout out to Grand Rapids! The activists, not the cops.
Is this what is going to make Grocery more affordable?
