Kristi Noem to Jamie Raskin

Matt's Schlapping again

---

The chairman of the American Conservative Union is defending lethal airstrikes that killed scores of Iranian schoolgirls over the weekend, acknowledging they would still be alive if the U.S. and Israel had not attacked Iran — but arguing they would “be alive in a burqa.”

Matt Schlapp made the staggering comment during Wednesday’s episode of “Piers Morgan: Uncensored,” where discussion of the now-ongoing Iran war eventually turned to the airstrikes on a girls school that killed up to 175 people Saturday, mostly children under 12.

So a few years back my ultra MAGA state rep and his ultra MAGA wife who are, absolutely no sarcasm or hyperbole, two of the worst people on the planet, held a big wedding on his property for his shitty MAGA daughter and her equally shitty MAGA fiancée.

Local conservative social media went all ga ga over the event saying it was the cementing of a MAGA family dynasty and how they were going to be the next generation power couple in conservative state politics. Shit, they even had the same first name!

All the local MAGA wanna be big wigs were there and they of course plastered their Facebook feeds about how “beautiful” that couple were and how “wonderful” the whole event was and how it was truly a tribute to the incredible conservative family values that the parents of the couple embodied and they would now carry on, etc, etc.

Found out today the marriage barely lasted 2 years and she’s now apparently running around Europe with her new man posting nonstop in how she’s truly living the dream, while he’s gone off the grid social media wise and is now something of a cross between RFK Jr and Grizzly Adams.

Brought a chuckle to some bleak times.

I just remembered – I saw some article about Trump making bank $$$ on trading Netflix stock (or something) WHILE he was putting his thumb on the scale AGAINST Netflix.

.

People used to care about corruption by politicians but Trump just wore us all the fuck out. Now he does all his dirty graft shit in public and doesn't even try to distract us from it or cover it up.

The lights are going out (fuck, have gone out) all over America (and for our democracy). We will not see them lit again in our lifetime . . . (at least not in mine. Coming back from this bullshit, if we even can, is going to take a fuck ton of years).

Saw a campaign ad for someone, probably GOP. The lighting effects and black and white presentation made her look like AI slop. Probably is, as well, also, too.

The only firing of any consequence in the Trump cabinet would be Brainworm...

Shitler and Co. don't really give a shit and think RFKJ is weird as well and any other firing could be replaced by someone who is just as incapable as the last.

Bobby Jr. is uniquely unqualified and dangerous in his role... they just don't care enough to find someone else so uniquely dangerous... so it'll just be a regular incompetent.

I guess they used the word "Shield" as it sounded better than "The Chastity Belt of the Americas."

Perhaps painting "The Flying Fuckwagon" on the side wasn't the wisest decision.

Someone needs to take away Henry Cuellar's Dem party membership card. Not voting for the war powers bill is the last fucking straw.

Maybe Kristi can get Krysten Sinema to list all her old costumes on Krysten's Facebook used clothes site.

Well, that was interesting...

So, we picked up Grandspud from school. Discovered that he got his first in-school suspension. In kindergarten. We're *so* proud. /s

Seems that Grandspud was on the playground, and asked a kid to play with him. Kid said no. Spud, therefore, punched him in the head. Reasonable response. /s

Heroic Son, who thankfully is now a temporary stay-at-home dad, will be handling things. XBox: Taken away. Switch: Taken away. TV viewing: Only when selected by Mom or Dad.

In general, Granspud is a good kid, and he's learning manners (even thanked Mrs. Hero and me for picking him up from school)--he just has these occasional blow-ups. There was a substitute teacher today, which probably didn't help--some kids need routines more than others. On the plus side, he didn't act like nothing happened, like some kids do--he knew he was in the doghouse.

Tomorrow, he'll do his time in (sorta) solitary, and start fresh on Monday. I'm hopeful. And kudos to Heroic Son, who calmly doled out consequences without going Great Santini, and discussed with Spud just why you can't punch a kid in the head, and that a kid does not *have* to play with you if he doesn't want.

Sounds like we're on the right track here.

Soooooo much stuff that the Dems still try to do while in the minority, aside from the firehose of a war, Epstein, and, and, and...

"WASHINGTON—Today, [March 3, 2026] Congressman Jim McGovern (D-MA), Ranking Member of the House Rules Committee and a senior member of the House Agriculture Committee, delivered the following opening statement at the full committee markup of House Republicans’ hyper-partisan farm bill:

His Bluesky, for more of a nutshell:

Another day, another betrayal. This time, MAHA.

Tonight, Republicans on the House Agriculture Committee are advancing a partisan farm bill chock full of giveaways to the Big Ag billionaires and pesticide companies that dump toxins into our food, water, and air.

I'm speaking out.

‪Rep. Jim McGovern‬

‪@repmcgovern.bsky.social

· 1d

The Republicans' farm bill is a BETRAYAL of MAHA. It would:

🛢️Prevent communities from regulating pesticides.

🤮Allow more toxins dumped into our water.

☠️Give CORPORATE IMMUNITY to companies that make cancer-causing chemicals.

Trump & RFK lied to win. I’m taking them on.

They really need to adopt the shadow cabinet model, even if they call it something else.

Lots of legislative propaganda on the teevee during this hockey game. Copper mining and an add to "Free the Nukes!"

This is my state.

The thought of that copper mine destroying the BWCA has me absolutely heartsick.

SHAMELESS PLUG TIME!

SO SHAMELESS IT'S GOING STRAIGHT TO MY THIGHS

Timmy Turnip is a highschool weirdo obsessed with stories about time travel and occult symbols. So Timmy's inner life was already weird enough when on his birthday he found a mysterious soundtrack. Sanity and reality itself starts to break down when he starts listening and notices strange synchronicities & ominous messages encoded in the lyrics.

Will Timmy survive the sonic onslaught as the psychedelic apocalypse unfolds before his ears?

Using real songs by world-renown superstars and underground darlings alike, Timmy Turnip and the Soundtrack From Beyond Time & Space is a conceptual gangbang suggesting a mind-blowing truth!
