That was kind of my thought - that's a wading birb who's had a rough night.

Sir Terry Pratchett had 𝘋𝘦𝘢𝘵𝘩 and 𝘋𝘦𝘢𝘵𝘩 𝘰𝘧 𝘙𝘢𝘵𝘴. So in this infinite multiverse, it's not too much of a stretch to suppose a 𝘋𝘦𝘢𝘵𝘩 𝘰𝘧 𝘌𝘨𝘳𝘦𝘵𝘴, or maybe a 𝘋𝘦𝘢𝘵𝘩 𝘰𝘧 𝘞𝘢𝘥𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘉𝘪𝘳𝘥𝘴...

Anyway, the p̶e̶r̶s̶o̶n̶i̶f̶i̶c̶a̶t̶i̶o̶n̶ ̶𝘣𝘪𝘳𝘥ification of Death would look like that...

"President Elon has stopped paying all the religious organizations that do (in this case) refugee resettlement. ..."

People are still talking about his hijacking of the federal financial payments system - we need an up-to-the-minute accounting on how he is already abusing the system for his own fucking "priorities".

Actually, no - Elon Musk, and all of his minions, need to be arrested and incarcerated immediately

"You know they’re still trying with the SAVE Act, which would just disenfranchise millions of women who changed their names upon marriage? Nobody seems to give a single shit?"

Isn't keeping one's "maiden name" something that asshole Trads frown upon? Who knew their objections would lead to disenfranchisement?

Yeah, as it is, the SAVER Act would also fuck up more red staters than blue staters;

{ From the CAP link ]

"Overall, data shows that high rates of passport ownership are predominantly concentrated in blue states, while low rates of passport ownership are overwhelmingly concentrated in red states. This means that, under the SAVE Act, it would be disproportionately more difficult for American citizens in red states to present one of the primary forms of documentation required to register to vote—and they would be disproportionately disenfranchised if the bill became law."

i don't understand what will happen to me with this SAVE thing and i am too lazy to look it up. to whit: i use both my maiden name and my ex's name (because HIS name was not already taken by SAG/AFTRA). as with many ladies i have a 3 name name and i honestly love it.

also, i don't really care because it's my fucking name.

I’ve been meaning to order some, (and forgetting), Aleppo pepper for at least 2 weeks so I went to the Pezey’s site just now and ordered a 1/2 cup jar. And I added a 3/4 cup bag of Herbes de Procençe also, too. I can’t wait to do some baking with my free Mexican vanilla!

You are going to love what the Herbes de Provence does for your roast chicken 🍗 and your seafood bisque

I'm cornfused. I thought the reactionaries liked it when women changed their names to match their nuptial Lord and Master?

They love it (because it renders the ladies ineligible to vote).

I want to ask a question about the Trump Administration ban on shipments from China?

Can anyone elaborate? I order a lot of stuff from Temu, and there is nothing on their website to indicate that service is interrupted?

Expand full comment

There wasn't a "ban on shipments," per se. Not that Donnie Dipshit ever gave it a nanosecond's thought, but all of a sudden a bazillion packages had to be opened, the contents priced, a tariff calculated, and the money collected from the addressee. Surprisingly, the USPS wasn't ready to do this on a day's notice.

I wouldn't worry too much. Trump should fold shortly.

We found out we lost Walter and Villago in one day.

This is a horrible day.

My heart is completely broken right now.

RIP, dear friend... I loved every moment I had a chance to chat with you and I will miss your humor, wit, and knowledgeable thoughts on our shared passion of all things political.

Before we go putting up statues to honor the NFL and their wokeness, know this: the NFL just decided to remove the End Racism message from the end zones of this weekends extravaganza. Right after a certain Pumpkinfuhrer decided he'd like to attend.

I have a severe character flaw in that I like to watch sportsball. Pathetic, I know. But I'm going to try not to watch the Stupor Bowl now. I found an Effbook message address for the No Fun League and expressed my objection.

stopped following football after i read"League of Denial". NFL "wokeness" and health and safety measures are nothing but window dressing. the average NFL player ends up crippled, financially,physically,and mentally

In response to a question about Elon acting beyond control, Donnie said:

“Elon can’t do and won’t do anything without OUR approval. WE’ll give him approval where appropriate and where not appropriate WE won’t.” [emphasis added].

Pay attention to the details, people. Trump is using the royal "we". He thinks he is the king.

Hey San Diego and Orange County Wonkers - if you lose track of where Trix put the deets (it's always tabs + maybe another post, like yesterday, but anyway) the Wonkmeet site has the events on the front page: wonkmeet.com
