"I actually think I’m getting worse at photoshoop."
You know, I'm old enough to remember when Wonkette used gen ai to make the thumbnail for an article. Nothing that was expected to be art, just to make a point—which as we know is not how art works
I want to know why Roberts let the tariffs ride for so long if it was illegal? they gave it enough time to destroy businesses and trade partnerships ??????

Looks like at least you and I will be deported, Doc. Not the worst news I've ever received given the current state of America. Of course, I've already self-deported to Canada. They might send you to El Salvador which would be a bummer.
Nice MCR shoutout at the end there, even if they're maybe technically more emo than goth (my Convergence 1 t-shirt says I have some standing to judge such things ;-) )
MAGA MIKE JOHNSON *DECLINED* a request from the family of the Reverend Jesse Jackson -- 2x former candidate for POTUS -- for the Reverend's casket to sit in state at the Capitol Rotunda, citing a "rule" that only former Presidents deserved that honor ...
DESPITE THE FACT THAT CHARLIE KIRK'S CASKET SAT IN STATE IN THAT SAME ROTUNDA
Everybody remembers that right wing "media" frothed when Charlie Kirk's OWN WORDS were used to discredit him, right??
BREAKING NEWS from #RolandMartinUnfiltered: House Speaker Mike Johnson has denied a request from Democrats and the family of Rev. Jesse Jackson Sr. For him to lie-in-state at the US Capitol
Sadly what these voting numbers say more than anything else is that people who would otherwise vote for a Democratic candidate---independents, democrats, and the two or three moderate Republicans--could not bring themselves to vote for a woman of color for president.
Not only is it exactly what it says -- but a whole lot of people have also been saying so for a really long time
So what does it say about the country that those people were continually, roundly ignored when they pointed to the problems of racism and sexism having the power to completely destroy the country ...?

It pains me to say it, truly, but there are likely a number of Democrats "fired up" this time because it's easier to get "fired up" when your candidate isn't a black woman.

Ta, Dok. This is, of course, the perfect time to mention Howard Dean's 50 state strategy, despite my being a day late (I can't wonk at work).
*Please* tell me that header pic has been photoshopped.
Noem: "The right people?" The white people.
Or so she believes.
Too bad you couldn't put his hair all spikey like he just been electrocuted.
Just want to chime in that AOC and Mamdani pressured the candidate trying to primary Jeffries to not run. He ultimately dropped out.

As an EV driver, they can deport me to Norway or Sweden

Jerk.
He’s still upset about Rosa Parks lying in state.
I believe the proper responsive phrase here is “F***k His Feelings”
It’s not just about the history he wants to deny & the erasure of American heroes —
it’s also about how I guess he didn’t think we’d spot the hypocrisy after pulling that vacuous bigot Charlie Kirk into the rotunda

Such angst. How ennui. Very melancholy

Well ... yes

Meh. She spent her whole campaign chasing Lynn Cheney.
I initially misread the title as "Mike johnson goes Goethe". I don't know how that would work, but it would probably be a step up.

Plenty of Democrats only gonna vote for Wipipo.
Yup. As the last election taught us.😣
Don't go goth, Johnson, go into the corn field.
