Neighbor has a little bun-bun like that. It also leaps onto things and into things in the same way. I've never seen it attack a bag of groceries, but damn, that tiny critter can mow through two huge bunches of cilantro in the time it's taken me to write this non-comment.
Reaching out to the creeper "Someone" who is stalking me and not sure it it's stalking anyone else. I've got eyes on him and it's not good. Sorry to interrupt the comments but "someone" is untraceable.
"Former Fox News host Bill O’Reilly on Monday urged New York City voters not to support Democratic mayoral nominee Zohran Mamdani, but used such outlandish rhetoric during his NewsNation appearance that even conservative anchor Leland Vittert had to push back.
“We’re about, in New York City, to elect a mayor who simply will not enforce any laws,” he told the “On Balance” host. “Any laws! It is gonna be anarchy and blood in the streets, and anybody who votes for that Mamdani is, in my opinion, committing an act of evil.”"
He forgot the part about "cats and dogs living together," coz it's not the Apocalypse without them--union rules. No rats, surprisingly enough: they're scabs.
An essential aspect of religion is making a virtue of believing things without evidence and contrary to the evidence. That tens of millions of people can now actually believe Donald Fucking Trump is fulfilling a christian divine assignment, leveraging that belief to empower his cruel, destructive, murderous agenda and while utterly ignoring his vile history, demonstrates the inevitable consequences of fostering that cognitive paradigm.
That's more of a "some religions" thing - I think that most of the Christians who non-comment here would tell you a different story. Not that religions don't often do exactly what you talking about, but not all religions, etc etc
(Fwiw, I am not a Christian, but a definite ally of many who are of the non-creepy kind)
I don't take any of this lightly and I have wrestled with it for quite a long time. I recognize that it's impossible to live without believing some things without evidence and contrary to the evidence; that is, taking some things on faith. But what religion does - what is essential to religion - is to elevate faith to a virtue and promote it as a preferential cognitive paradigm, and a direct consequence of that is that tens of millions of people can think of Donald Trump - let me say that again, Donald Trump - as carrying out a divine agenda and so empower him. Having to take some things on faith to survive while having a mind that is capable of reason is one of the terrible dilemmas of the human condition. I don't have an easy way to reconcile the necessity and the pitfalls of faith *other* than to say that elevating faith to a virtue and promoting it as a preferential cognitive paradigm is, as is so clear in the present, a recipe for disaster. I have no problem with a christianity in which christ is a teacher and the bible is curated literature, neither divine.
I have sometimes wondered why some Kristian fanatics are so determined to prove that god exists since that would end faith. You can't have faith in a fact.
Lawrence O'Donnelll had Andrew Weismann on who dissected the Trump b'day letter. The claims that it did not exist were disproved when they got that from Epstein's lawyer. It was in a bound book so not like they just slipped it in. THEN the lie was that it wasn't his signature and it is unmistakably, his signature. On top of Johnson claiming he was an "informant" and then someone must have told him how those "informants" come to be (meaning he was also part of the web and decided to cooperate), he backtracked on that. To the general pubic it looks more and more like a blatant cover up. They're completely losing the narrative and they know it.
Couple this w/other horrible stuff in the book like Epstein presenting Trump with a big check for buying a "fully depreciated" woman and it's even more damning. Can't wait to see how they dig out this latest controversy.
Amanda Marcotte, Salon (excerpts): Katie Miller isn’t fooling anyone
"The unsubtle goal of “The Katie Miller Podcast” is to “humanize” its subjects with “they’re just like you!” interviews. The underlying message is that fascists can’t be so bad, if they also tell dad jokes or feel bad about eating too much chocolate. All that, in turn, serves the larger message of the show, which is that the Millers aren’t sick monsters who hate America, because gosh — that Mrs. Stephen Miller just acts so darn normal. Or at least boring, which is what passes for normal in the twisted far-right mind. Another alternate title for the show: “The Opiate of MAGA.”
Unfortunately, I can only think of one reason why the Millers have decided it’s time to try to humanize the most shudder-inducing member of the Trump White House: Stephen Miller thinks he has a good shot at being president soon.
I know, I know. You are scoffing and wanting to shut your computer off, but hear me out.
By getting out there and doing soft-focus interviews, Katie Miller might just be trying to cast an image of herself as first lady material. She’s presenting herself as a sweet, affable wife whose ability to make small talk with important people offers a useful moderating force on her snarling bully of a husband. For those who worry that the veins popping out on Stephen Miller’s pencil neck would undermine the diplomatic role of a president, she is presenting herself as calming presence who will make everything okay."

Wascally Wabbit.
A practiced, fluffy leap into the sack to seek out lunch.
Perfect 10!
Very very cute. Almost balances out the terribleness in the tabs.
What a cute inquisitive bunny. Skritches and hugs.
It looked like the bunny was flying.
Teleporting.
The Trump economy's expensive
And that ain't funny, Jack
I spend a lot of money
For groceries that I lack
But, everything gets sunny
And that's a natural fact
When you see a bunny
Hop into your sack.
God, you're talented.
I am guessing that bunny has inspected groceries before...
Plus, that's the cutest bunny I have ever seen. With an impressive vertical leap, and so casual about it...
Will levitate for noms.
Tiny Oryctolagus is too tiny and cute to roast.
Curious and excited bun! "What have you brought for me!???"
Oh look! A bag with things in it! Whooopeeeeeee!!
Hey, that's how I react! (without the leaping.)
It is teh groceries!
That’s a word nobody uses anymore - except bunnies - Groceries! -
Aww....that sweet bunny's fur is the same color as Shadow's was.
Done did the tiny bunny hop, he did.
Good point. That way the WingNuts can pick which bibles/parts they like.
I suspect that Pete Buttigieg knows if he is gay far better than that Carlson thing does. Buttigieg is also much less of a liar and a fanatic.

A few well-placed lightning bolts would go far to instill in me a livelier belief in a watchful and benevolent Deity.
Well, we are getting biblical floods in the South. Unfortunately they target innocent people and not just trumpsters.
I do have one question for Mike Johnson concerning his contention that Donald Chump was chosen by God to lead this country at this time.
God couldn't find a single conservative white male Christian Republican who was not a pedophile to lead this country at this time?
He truly couldn't! They're all pedos.
You don't ask why are you playing Miles, you ask why aren't you playing Miles!
I remember fondly my Dad cranking "Sketches of Spain" when I was a kid. I always loved the album cover.
Today is the day the entire country realized that it knew what the phrase "Trump Jeffrey Epstein birthday book booby pubis drawing letter" meant.
Remember how fraught they were with the Bill Clinton blowjob because they had to explain what it all meant to their innocent little kids?
I wonder how they're handling this one?
They are lying and claiming it isn't true, of course.
I kind of wish Ken Starr could be subpoenaed to testify. https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2021/jul/13/ken-starr-jeffrey-epstein-book
My date for National Bible Day is 7BC, Massacre of the Innocents!
But which bible? There is no extant copy of the original and the ones we do have have been translated, edited, misinterpreted, cherry picked...
"All of them, Maybe."
There are a lot of pointless massacres in the Bible -all committed by the good guys, of course. You'll have to be more specific.
Since the winners write the history they do tend to be the "good guys."
“All of them, Rachael”
how am i supposed to get a date at this last minute. maybe I'll go stag (do people still say that)
“Shadow Docket, Suck Trump’s Cock-it” is the reason I keep showing up to read about this shitshow.
Thank you.

O'Reilly is another sex pest, and we care what he has to say still? Good grief. That makes me love Mamdani even more, so thanks Billy.
O'Reilly who?
He forgot the part about "cats and dogs living together," coz it's not the Apocalypse without them--union rules. No rats, surprisingly enough: they're scabs.
Didn't they already eat all the cats, eat all the dogs, eat all the pets? Except for that one goose, of course.
He's not a stupid man. He's complicit in this shit.
It is entirely possible to be both. Usual, in fact.

That tens of millions of people can now actually believe Donald Fucking Trump is fulfilling a christian divine assignment, leveraging that belief to empower his cruel, destructive, murderous agenda and while utterly ignoring his vile history, demonstrates the inevitable consequences of fostering that cognitive paradigm.
You'd think God could have found someone in the Republican Party who wasn't a pedophile to fulfill his divine mission.

https://www.salon.com/2025/09/08/katie-miller-isnt-fooling-anyone/
She must be expecting the Millers to reconcile for the sole reason of being President and First Lady.
Maybe that's their thinking but Miller has all the charm of a turd in a punchbowl and somewhat less of a chance of becoming president.
Your reference could be to either Miller.
Stephen Miller makes Hamface Vance look charismatic.
