Being that mama is named for the Texas bluebonnet, a flower that Lady Bird Johnson promoted the planting of along Texas highways as a beautification project, the name is appropriate.

Hey Lady Bird!

Thanks for posting Tabs, Martini. I was wondering if all the clocks in the house were wrong, but seeing the school bus stopping to pick up the neighbor's kids reassured me, and right after that - TABS!

I was confused because the school bus didn't go by today. It's a 'staff development' day, the district's website tells me.

I can see ICE doing that, and presenting them to The Homunculus as signs of 'victory' over the Browns.

How many times does a judge have to tell ICE they have to use body camera?

At least once more, apparently.

Apparently the government wants to make it illegal to possess a gun if you are a regular pot-smoker. In as much as pot-users are not known for their violent outburst this seems like over-reaction. If anything it should be a crime for alcohol drinkers to possess guns since drinking is a frequent contributing factor to gun violence. But the law, as written, concerns only "illegal drugs" and alcohol, despite it's many adverse effects, remains legal.

Is there a more perfect metaphor for Taco Pedo’s presidency, indeed, his entire life, than him shitting on Americans?

Do Better, The Guardian:

"

Headline: Trump reposts AI-generated video of plane dumping sludge on No Kings protesters

"Donald Trump reposted an AI-generated video of him flying a fighter plane emblazoned with the words “King Trump” and dumping brown sludge on to protesters, in what appears to be a retort to the widespread No Kings protests that took place on Saturday against his second presidency.

In the video, which the president posted on Saturday night, a sharply orange Trump is seen donning a gold crown and manning a plane monikered “King Trump”. The video zooms away from Trump and shows the plane dumping bursts of brown matter on an AI-generated cityscape. A protester, taking a selfie video, captures the crowd being covered in the brown liquid." The last shot of the 19-second video is of protesters in what appears to be Times Square getting dumped on."

https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/oct/20/trump-ai-video-no-kings

Points for "sharply orange Trump" but not "brown sludge" or "brown matter" or "brown liquid." Not sure about "Times Square getting dumped on."

At least the cowardice of the FNYT is understandable; they're in the same country with der Führer. But the Guardian? Are they worried Shootin' Pete Kegseth is going to invade Britain? 😮‍💨

"...at least Santos had the Courage, Conviction, and Intelligence to ALWAYS VOTE REPUBLICAN!"

TRANSLATION: You can do anything but if you aren't a Democrat, i.e. you "ALWAYS VOTE REPUBLICAN", you're OK.

Once again we see that no Republican is ever going to vote for a Democrat. Ever. (Yeah, yeah, I know about your sister in law, who apparently still votes for all the other MAGAts so that's not a "win").

Answer - get out the vote. We don't need to just win every election we can in '26. We need to CRUSH the GOP electorally. Our lives depend on it.

I think Wonkette is treating George Santos unfairly. He has clearly learned his lesson that he shouldn't misrepresent himself. And what more evidence of that do you need than that in an interview following his release he promptly compared his experience to that of Jesus Christ?

All those millions of votes peacefully protesting. And each NKD participant representing more votes of people who could not make it to a demo. And then the orange idiot literally showing himself shoveling shit on the american public. Come on GOP, keep beating your anemic breasts and screeching inanities. Can't wait to see how this works out for you.
