This indeed. You may not like our government supporting Israel over Gaza, or vetoing the UN - I don't. But I do feel there's some chance my voice on this could be heard under the current regime. Should Hair Fuhrer somehow get back in, may all the gods forbid it, those chances dwindle to zero.
Please, young folk, get out there and vote for Biden even if you think he's handling the war in Gaza wrong. The alternative is four more years of Trump, who fucked up the SC for decades, stalled for a month before informing us about covid and then told us not to wear masks and we didn't need the vaccine, and also did NOTHING for 3 hours on Jan 6 but watch the tube despite the pleadings of his staff and daughter.
Thinking there's an overnight solution to the war is naive.
I feel like suing for mental anguish. I cannot properly express myself, nor receive the uplifting cat photos or validating memes that allow me to cope with this timeline.
A social worker was pretty mad at me when I told her that I would absolutely not be attending the celebration of the finalization of an adoption arising out of a child protection case. "We're all on the same side here!"
"No, we're quite literally not. If you can't think of a single reason I wouldn't attend a party celebrating my client's parental rights being terminated, you really don't understand what we're doing here."
That sounds both heartbreaking and enraging. The details are none of my business but even in my ignorance I am feeling enormous empathy for you at the moment.
The other day, a judge ordered Peter Navarro to turn in presidential records that are in his possession and are the property of the federal government. He has until March 21 to do so or come up with a reason why he can't . There are 600 documents.
Meanwhile, this idiot still is not in prison because the Bureau of Prisons has not set a date for him to report . The wheels of justice are stuck in the mud.
Seeking social media stardom for their underage daughters, mothers post images of them on Instagram. The accounts draw men sexually attracted to children, and they sometimes pay to see more.
See, in the old days, mothers would have to drag their daughters to "beauty pageants." But now they can bring an audience right into their living rooms, and viewers don't even have to leave their own homes. Isn't technology wonderful?
I have a feeling "taking a Silkwood shower" will be a popular response 'round these parts for some of the articles telling us about the ickier parts of the Christofascists/GOP.
I know women like this. They peaked in HS and are still trying to be The Cool Kids. Their kids are just a means to gain past vainglory and not actual people to them.
If they are anything like the fathers of girls my kids have known whos mothers pushed them into "cool" things in order to relive their own glory days, they are mostly busy with mistresses.
I seem to recall their savior separating the two rather specifically, directing followers to give unto Caesar what is Caesar's and give unto gawd what is gawd's.
None of these proselytizing prats ever READS their Buybull...
“Mark my word, if and when these preachers get control of the [Republican] party, and they're sure trying to do so, it's going to be a terrible damn problem. Frankly, these people frighten me. Politics and governing demand compromise. But these Christians believe they are acting in the name of God, so they can't and won't compromise. I know, I've tried to deal with them.”
I'm old, so I smoke my lids.
LOL, love that picture of Biden.
Peskov was accurately named by his forebears. Whenever I see his name the word "pest" immediately comes to mind.
O'Donnell's been KILLIN' it lately
It's almost as if people with extensive personal experience in a topic can discuss it with a modicum of understanding.
What's so disheartening is that plenty of people can, the problem is that they don't.
Young people should ask themselves who knows more about foreign policy, them or Biden.
Their unilateral desires "Cut off aid to Israel RIGHT NOW!" are not realistic.
No,. It is the young people who are wrong.
Young people should also ask themselves who is more likely to actively enable Bibi to bomb the shit out of civilians in Gaza, TFG or Biden.
This indeed. You may not like our government supporting Israel over Gaza, or vetoing the UN - I don't. But I do feel there's some chance my voice on this could be heard under the current regime. Should Hair Fuhrer somehow get back in, may all the gods forbid it, those chances dwindle to zero.
This. The choice across all issues isn't "good or bad": the choice is "better or worse".
Pull the lever and move on.
No. The choice in the case of Biden vs. PAB is 'reasonably good or catastrophic'.
My descrption would be "fantastically superior" or "lava spewing volcano."
Because I think of all Biden has accomplished that's been more or less ignored by the MSM
Love the graphic, especially the horse!

Did the TABS and the OT get mixed up or something?
''Biden also called Putin, accurately, a “butcher” and war criminal.” ''
PUTIN: I know I am but what are YOU? Neener-neener.

So tired of PUTANA.
It's been fun reading Tabs from different authors. Variety is the spice of Wonkette. Wonder who it's gonna be today.

A social worker was pretty mad at me when I told her that I would absolutely not be attending the celebration of the finalization of an adoption arising out of a child protection case. "We're all on the same side here!"
"No, we're quite literally not. If you can't think of a single reason I wouldn't attend a party celebrating my client's parental rights being terminated, you really don't understand what we're doing here."
i know nothing about thr case, obviously. But a child being adopted by loving parents is a good thing, IMHO
Regardless of how good a thing it is here, I doubt you'd want someone who represents you to join in a celebration about you losing.
If the government took your kids away, how would you feel about your lawyer showing up at a party to celebrate it?
It would be completely wrong, as you have pointed out.
I assume that the social worker awkwardly just meant that the kids will be safe and
loved.
...seems kinda flippant for the state to be throwing a party about this
It's evidently common in this particular county. Even the judge shows up.
Even the judge? That seems, ah, fraught.
That sounds both heartbreaking and enraging. The details are none of my business but even in my ignorance I am feeling enormous empathy for you at the moment.
Having a seriously hard time getting motivated for work this morning..
That makes all the sense. (It's my weekend.) Bit I find getting stoked for wotk challenging.
(coughs politely) Could you please write me a similar note? Thanks.
Hell yeah! Thanks! ☺️

If his name was Jose Navarro and he'd stolen a TV, they'd find an empty prison bed for him.
They'd throw a mattress down in a hallway.
I think I'll skip breakfast:

[gets up to Silkwood shower]

"But she’s been doing this so long now,” she said. “Her numbers are so big. What do we do? Just stop it and walk away?”
Yes, ma'am. That's exactly what you do.
Her big numbers are more important to that "mom" than her daughter's safety.
Gruesome
People are completely fucked up.
JUST BLARRRRRG!!!!
I am seriously starting to DESPISE digital media and the vile machinations it so readily propagates among the most vulnerable.
Been saying this for the past ten years.
literally pimping out their daughters for cash.
The actual fuck.
Not unprecedented: cf. The Jackson Five.
To my knowledge, their dad never sold sexy pics of them to pedos tho.
Can you say "Child Endangerment"? Greed, Pride, and Envy top the list of the Seven Deadly Sins around these parts.
Can't upvote, sorry.
Understood.
WTF is wrong with these mothers?!?
They seek to live vicariously through their daughters.
They're vain, selfish [very bad word; plural].
That’s what those women wanted when they were young. Jeez.
I know women like this. They peaked in HS and are still trying to be The Cool Kids. Their kids are just a means to gain past vainglory and not actual people to them.
This is a major front page story and quite thorough, but there is not one word about the fathers of these girls.
If they are anything like the fathers of girls my kids have known whos mothers pushed them into "cool" things in order to relive their own glory days, they are mostly busy with mistresses.
So if they're busy, it's not child neglect?
It is still 100% child neglect. But they do not care.
They're only girls. The only times the dads get involved is if there is a purity ball or a boy comes around.
You would think in 2024 this would no longer be a thing, but unfortunately, it very much is.
UGH.
Perhaps, maybe, they shouldn't have been parents?
Babby Axl sang me a song
I tried to write down his lament.

Nice.
Encore! Encore!!!
I'm trying to tell him this is no Cell Block Tango situation
...and he doesn't need a new lawyer
2Cats is the best you can get!
and that ain't FAKE MEWS!
The Song of his People.
Meowie on meowie on...
Babby Axl really matters.....
This is all so great! Hadn't seen you all week, hope you're well (your wits are just fine, that's for sure).
Had a bad week, put myself in time out.
Then Babby Axl sang me a song.
now I feel a bit better
May your next week be a good one. Also, thanks Babby Axl!
When I was a kid, the furthest our cats got was the Meow Mix theme..
“God created government,” he told Enlow, adding that it’s “heartbreaking” that “we have let it go into the possession of others.”

There it is, MAGA. You are supposed to vote for God, not Trump. Otherwise, you go straight to hell.

None of these proselytizing prats ever READS their Buybull...
They read only the hate/murder/rape parts--the ones that get them going.
I have ultimate respect for those who take their personal faith seriously and act accordingly. The Carters are fine examples.
These people are hypocrites who use their "religion" to get more power. Greed, pride, and envy ... three of the seven deadly sins.
Absolutely and amen, comrade.
They'll explain what The Gospels *really* meant.
“Mark my word, if and when these preachers get control of the [Republican] party, and they're sure trying to do so, it's going to be a terrible damn problem. Frankly, these people frighten me. Politics and governing demand compromise. But these Christians believe they are acting in the name of God, so they can't and won't compromise. I know, I've tried to deal with them.”
― Barry Goldwater, 1968
And saw this FIFTY YEARS AGO.
He oughta know. He was the one who married the evangelicals to the GOP
And Ronnie Raygun made their White House invitation permanent.
