Rump pumping seems totally inappropriate for the lyrics of Christmas song.

WTF is this?

Rudy G attorney alludes to Rudy's advanced age in an appeal for mercy from his jury?

So advanced age is the new Get-Out-Of-Jail card? I am watching this one very closely now. Because there is literally a fuckton of crime I want to get done before my own advanced age finally buries me.

How refreshingly novel for RWNJs to make this into a RACE THING.

I have been waiting for them to finally do this one thing which they have never done before in all the centuries of white people refraining from making everything into the RACE THiNG.

When the Cherokee, Creek and Seminole Indigenous People trod the Trail Of Tears and died there white people lauded the discipline and stamina shown by the survivors who actually reached what became known as Oklahoma. When oil was found underneath the land that those survivors' ancestors owned white people urged those Indigenous People to take a hike again because of the health benefits created by all the walking.

I just tried to pass my 3D Printed Gun Safety Act on the Senate floor and was blocked by Republicans who put their A+ NRA rating over the lives of countless Americans. We must take action to stop the proliferation of these deadly weapons now.

I just saw the White House Christmas dancing video.

The dancers do an amazing job. I wish I could have seen them live. The whole thing bursts with joy.

Guess what Repubs probably don't like?

Some of the dancers are b l a c k.

I hate Little Drummer Boy.

Just imagine -- Mary finally gets the baby fed, settled down and sleeping, and some pisher comes by and starts banging on a drum.

It's as bad as the Three Wise Men. None of them thought to bring diapers or onesies, or even a casserole?

Three court of criminal appeal judges up for reelection targeted by Ken Paxton’s political revenge machine [https://www.texastribune.org/2023/12/13/ken-paxton-court-of-criminal-appeal-primary-republicans/]

"Paxton promised to go after the Republican judges over their 2021 ruling that struck down the attorney general’s ability to unilaterally prosecute voter fraud." All three judges are female which is probably not part of Paxton's War on Women™.

The entire Republican Party is devoted to satisfying the delusions of one man.

It seems that Republicans will NEVER learn the lesson that power-hungry fascist-types will ALWAYS come back and bite you in the ass eventually. They could have rid themselves of Paxton but they chose to protect him. Now he's going to go after them. And they've done the same thing with Trump. Eventually, the leopards ALWAYS eat the faces.

They are intimidated by American women with personal agency and RESENT their lack of control it represents.

Thus they seek to oppress ALL American women by stripping them of their bodily autonomy. Revoking reproductive rights is a first step toward even MORE subjugating goals.

Who gives two fucks what this rapist and sex trafficker with a tiny, tiny floppy fucking peen thinks about *anything*?

"The British-American online personality Andrew Tate posted a video comparing the video to the costumes worn by the decadent upper class featured in the Hunger Games movie, writing, “This is dystopian. If I believed in fear – I would be afraid.”"

I've been investigating this (reading about it on the toilet) and it seems the problem is this was an interpretation of the Nutcracker (so far so good) done by Black dancers. So yes, much faux outrage.

Little Drummer Boy shows up for the baby shower with NO GIFT, like a communist. "I made this for you," he says quickly and rattles off some rum-pa-pum-pums. Mary whispers to one of the other RHOB, "I heard his father spent the gift money on hookers and blow." One of the Wise Men overheard and asks, "Where did he find such things?" "Asking for a friend?" Mary says, raising her eyebrow.

A lot of the pundits are saying that this impeachment inquiry is supposed to be counter programming for the upcoming trump trials (assuming they're allowed to go ahead and aren't shelved until he can pardon himself). But the only way for that to work is if the inquiry is done in public and the GOP can't have that lest the cat in the bag escapes (cat is lack of evidence of any crime). So, it will just be their stupid chud faces on Newsmax. I'm hoping Chutkun allows cameras in the courtroom.
