If you're ever in the Spokane area I suggest a visit to the local wild cat sanctuary, Cat Tales way the hell out north on Division St. Try to schedule your visit around feeding time; watching those gorgeous beasts and sometimes their precious little ones tucking into their grub is a sight to see.
Whenever any of you in the media write about things these clowns have done, it's really important that you note which ones are illegal and/or unconstitutional. That is not happening. I know the NYT and WAPO are beyond hope, but Wonkette, you can be the change we want to see in American political journalism.
By not fronting the illegality, we normalize it as just politics, and that's basically what got us here in the first place.
Trump elicited empty promises to toughen the borders from Mexico and Canada and declared victory. Now all he needs if China to build a 'Yuge' wall and he will be a happy idiot.
NYT: "President Trump signed an executive order from the Oval Office directing the Treasury and Commerce Departments to create a βsovereign wealth fund,β which he said could potentially purchase the social media app, TikTok."
Like most people I'm a little shocked at how quickly fascism is overtaking our country but it shouldn't be a surprise. It's been almost a century since Nazi 1.0 and with new technology and decades of experience, Nazi 2.0 was bound to be much more efficient.
No, the shroud actually has a good chance of being genuine. The C14 test was done on a sample from a side-stripe added to the shroud to center the image in medieval times (if it was forged, you would think the image would have been centered on the original) and we are still not able to replicate the effect, let alone with techniques known medievally. Best explanation is a reaction between "morbid" sweat (heavily ammoniac, produced by bodies under extreme stress) and aromatics in the gum it was soaked in, creating unstable chemicals which oxidized and creating a singing of the cloth along the surface tension layer. This theory however requires that the victim was alive the whole time, not agreeing with the Christian theology that he "died" and "came back" (it is not clear what "dead" meant back then anyhow: the gospels only say that it was verified he wasn't breathing, but nobody back then knew to take a pulse let alone an EEG).
Every unfortunate occasion when "Stew Peters" gets mentioned here, I can't help but think of that restaurant in Chongqing that featured a bull's penis hotpot.
Re Musk: He's not a government employee -- does he actually have any legal authority whatsoever? If not, why aren't people either ignoring him, or reporting him to the capitol police/FBI/CIA/U.S. Marshals/Barney Fife for trespass, treason, insurrection, removing mattress tags, and general dumbfuckery?
Because when you resist him, like that one Inspector General, he has security march you out the door, and for whatever reason they didn't resist the order from someone who is absolutely not their boss.
Too many people are in on it - whether it's fear or complicity is hard to determine so far.
"So, donβt be surprised if Trump backs down and trumpets some minor concession like an extra guard at Rio Bravo as a Trump victory akin to storming the beaches of Normandy. The danger for Trump, here, of course, is that every time he does this, the more he becomes The Boy Who Cried Wolf of Wall Street."

All our cats used to try make the bowls magically fill by pushing them around like that. Dogs just look at you like you broke their favorite toy.
Thank you for the cubs. At least I have one nice thing to think about on this otherwise hellish day in Murrica.
Look at them cute little wee babby bloodthirsty carnivores!
Yikes, stripes!
Baby tigers aren't that good
At eating from a π₯£ bowl
They'd rather lunch upon a haunch
And eat the varmint whole.
When they are just πΈ kittens
They sure look cute alright
Just be careful in the forest deep
They can grow up overnight. π
You earned your stripes with this prose!
I loved every claws.
This poem is absolutely purrrrrr-fect!

Tiggers!

Nice kitties!
Stripey Kittehs! I recognize those, they're Tabbies, right?
I could watch big cat kittens all day...

Whadda ya mean, 'they already built one.'?
shhhh, don't tell him! Then China will also have to promise to put some troops on their borders.
Iβm curious. Whatβs been the rightwing reaction to Beyonce winning the Grammy for best country album? Have they lost their shit yet?
NYT Update (I'd like you to do a favor, though):
"Trump expressed interest in acquiring Ukrainian rare earth minerals in exchange for more American aid to the war-torn nation."
NYT: "President Trump signed an executive order from the Oval Office directing the Treasury and Commerce Departments to create a βsovereign wealth fund,β which he said could potentially purchase the social media app, TikTok."
He could also claim it as a retirement bonus, if Muskmelon Head doesn't beat him to it.

And this is why I come to Wonkette on a daily basis and shovel my hard-earned Ameros their way.
The tooth, the whole tooth, and nothing but the tooth.
This one better date to early BC at least. That &%$^# shroud is a holy fraud and always has been.

This is how you do it, don't give in or comply.
Ontario premier 'ripping up contract' with Musk's Starlink in response to tariffs
Well, that Doomsday Scenario piece was disheartening.
Every unfortunate occasion when "Stew Peters" gets mentioned here, I can't help but think of that restaurant in Chongqing that featured a bull's penis hotpot.
My brain always reacts by calling him Stew Pidder
"One thingβs for sure, itβs mighty banana-republic-y, and not in the sense of clothes that only look good on tall people."
I'm old enough to remember when every Banana Republic store contained an actual Jeep, a lot of plastic jungle plants, and safari hats everywhere.
They should definitely bring back the Cletus safari hats.
Remember Melania's safari hat when she went to an African nation?
So colonial it made colonial cool again.
A cork hat? https://dthezntil550i.cloudfront.net/1w/latest/1w2203010846176890019839173/e9929483-61a6-4b0e-a977-902f37e5c569.png I wore one when I was in Basic at Lackland AFB. They are cool.
Every BR store in 1985 was Indiana Jones Adventure and I LOVED IT.

The only logical answer is that our security services are hopelessly corrupt, and they're in on it. They're a fascist fucking joke.
No one could possibly be this weak, helpless, stupid, and incompetent.
Loyal units of the armed forces need to shoot down the traitorous "security guards"; it is too late for "with votes"

TFN nails it!
Thinks it's possible that even SCOTUS are giving each other the side eye?
He hasn't gored any of their sacred cows yet. Or vice versa. Wait until the action heads up.
