A new phone every 30 days, hmm, I wonder who gets the 48 phones at the end of the 4 year term?

Remember when Obama got salty because he couldn't use his blackberry? Despite that, he did, in fact stop using it. . . Because national security.

Back in the late 60s and early 70s, we organized, protested, and generally raised GD hell for change. We got jailed, ostracized by our families, beaten bloody by the "PIGS", and sacrificed much for change., NOW along come 30 something ahole conservatives, who benefitted from what we did, trying to undo everything we accomplished, and they are succeeding. it makes me madder than HELL!! Am I the last one standing who remembers? The only who one remembers what life was like when to only voices that had power were those of Good White Christian men? Fukwads clamoring to return to those "good old days" make me sicker than sick!!

BTW love your picture. i have two little Maltese who look like that. They're sisters from the same litter. Sooo bad!! into everything they shouldn't be, but I love them to pieces! They're truly free spirits

I had a Maltese who made it easy for me to understand why the Roman Poet Martial wrote verses about Issa, Publius's famed Maltese. My boy was named Boot, a nod to the demanding nature of Caligula who was known as "little boots" as a boy.

The guy in the photo is Dash. He and his sister Lili are both Cotons (Coton de Tulear); a higher energy, stronger, faster, less obedient kind of Maltese.

The only reason I would fear Dementia or Alzheimers is the threat of forgetting any one of them -- Duchess, Maisie, Sport, Boot, Mattie, Dash, and Lili -- before I die.

I understand. I got into an argument with some preacher a while back who tried to tell me that dogs didn't have souls, and so of course would never enter the "Kingdom" I told him, "If your after life, your heaven is real, my doggies better be waiting for me at the Pearly Gates. If they aren't, I will tell St Peter he can shove this place up his holy ass and leave.

You’re very kind. Whenever I hear that kind of claptrap I laugh and walk away.

I had a good friend, beautiful girl in both body and soul, whose face was permanently disfigured by a blow from a 3 ft hickory lead weighted riot baton, She passed away recently but carried those scars all of her life. Did anyone give a shit? Hell NO!!

This is okay. This is fine. Remember, Murc's Law is in effect and the spokestroll Cheung already blamed the Democrats. So don't even worry about it.

All I know is, amazed at that people have a thing called, REFRIGERATOR.

Has to be Avocado, or Coppertone.

On another planet, kinda like it here, comparatively speaking.

Personally I'm seeing Melania rising, in blood-soaked gauzy drapery, with a dagger in her hand. "Did I do right or wrong?" she asks, over the bloated corpse of her husband.

I'll bet the hackers were disappointed to discover that TFG doesn't have any pictures of Melania on his phone.

Most of the hackers that I know have better taste than that.

The media really isn’t doing a good job reminding people what a risk to national security Trump is. And not just because of all the classified documents he hoarded in the shitter. Just his general carelessness with technology or holding military strategy sessions on the porch of MAL over chocolate cake are bad enough. Then there’s the fact he shared Israeli intelligence with a Russian spymaster in the Oval Office.

Expand full comment

Reflecting on the past couple of months, the media hasn't really detailed ANY of the dozens (hundreds?) of ways Trump has f*ked this country, or could, or plans to. It's like just normal for a presidential candidate to run on eliminating the Constitution and using the military to round up all the people he doesn't like.

He's so susceptible to flattery, not to mention bribery.

There's the suspicious Russian-Ukrainian who called herself "Anna de Rothschild" - that, and her nice looking ass, got her complete, *free of charge*, access to Mar a Lago.

There's the known Chinese spy who was at Mar a Lago. Honestly, I think any country's intelligence agency who *doesn't* have a "seasonal worker" at Mar a Lago should hang its head in shame.

There's the fact that he's using his poorly-secured phones to have daily conversations with Netanyahu (Logan Act be damned!), and regular conversations with Putin (same).

I wonder if the foreign agents patronizing Mar-a-Lago get turndown service too?

"...Charo’s phone number. The mind reels."

ROTF. Dunno if that wins the internet, but it sure wins Wonkette!

Expand full comment

Charo gets a bad rap. Everyone thinks of her as just the “aye-yi-yi!” girl from the Love Boat. She’s actually an immensely talented guitarist.

Expand full comment

Charo played the cards she was dealt pretty brilliantly. If people want to look down on or make fun of something, I think it ought to be the creeps who dealt those cards.

Expand full comment

Yeah, but I mostly remember Charo from a Jerry Lewis telethon. She was singing one of her silly ayeyiyi songs in a ruffled tube top. Bouncing around like crazy, of course, and that tube top was inexorably slipping down. But slowly. It was a real nail-biter, would it make it? Or would Charo finish the song first?

Photo finish, really. They cut away with the very last note, just as top seemed to finally give way.

I was like, thirteen, and utterly fascinated. 😅
