WHY is fucking Chris Matthews still employed? 🙄😠 It’s the middle of the night now and I haven’t checked back to see if the US government closed down, went on fire, collapse in on itself and fell to the centre of the earth again, but if it did they will fucking have Chris fucking Matthews yammering on about it like an excited little dog. Fire him!

Each little panel that is the story has in the upper right corner something I think it three dots, you click on that you get a pop-up that has all these great commands. Like I NEVER FUCKING want to see anything from this source again!!! I’m paraphrasing. And clicking on that to get rid of something forever, is really fun. 😁

Obvs he is largely weasel DNA. He is the one who put “weasel“ in “shitweasel“. His onliest accomplishment.

I remember watching as a child, in my bathing suit, did the judiciary committee voting on impeachment for Nixon. And one of the articles was the secret bombing of Cambodia. And I’m sitting there, 11 years old hearing this thinking oh my fucking God (only with less swearing) that he did such a thing. And then they didn’t vote to impeach him for it! It was close but no. Until this scandal that was one of the most stunning moments of political malfeasance I had ever seen in my life.

I still remember some of the judiciary committee people's names. Ron Dellums, Barbara Jordan.

Nixon and Trump are both people about whom one just ... could ... not ... be uncomplimentary to excess. I'm sure you don't really mean you are thinking semi-kind thoughts about Nixon. That throwback to the Scottish border robbers (the Nixons were a notorious border clan of big-scale thieves and gory rascals in those days, as were the Grahams; talk about blood will tell) was just a calculating liar, though. This sack of slop is more of a bullshit artist. He babbles and babbles, all of it a constant flow of nonsense, meant to undercut your sense of reality and lower your resistance to bullshit. The current fashion is to call it gaslighting, also. From the old movie, I believe. Convince your victims that they are the crazy ones, not you.Until Donald Trump, I think the most notable and famous bullshit artist of my experience was Erich von Daniken. I guess he could conceivably rate as a gaslighter too; I was never that close to him. He really devoted himself to discrediting and debasing science, though. He could've been a Trump official if he hadn't had his heyday too far previous.

Why should we worry about triggering some economically anxious snowflake? Unless they are actually packing at the time.

Just flip the record over and play it in reverse - that should back everything up, right?Wait - should I have specified the "They're coming to take me away" record?

How many calls can we round up for her offices to protest the very idea before she says it out loud? We can even ask whoever answers her phones which fellow reps we need to call in support of backing up the ethics investigation, in case she is counting supporters or something. We ask them to have spines, we better supply them with some calcium.

Could that be what he is waiting for? If you need to arrest the top dog you have to have a way to force follow through, and if everyone responsible for following through won't do it, you might need to stall until responsible people take their places. Still bad for the stress toxins, though.

I just missed hot type by a few years, but typing on shitty old copy paper was still in vogue, and markups with a fat old copy pencil, cropping pix with a red grease pencil on the contact sheets ...

I have done that on FB. It eliminated a ton of posts from my wingnut relatives.

5$F: You ARE the queen. Great story. Great backgrounding. Can't wait to see what the trolls have to say in reply (crickets).

I was a freshman in college, and we'd demonstrated and rallied and protested, and he'd then said the bombing would stop and THEN the truth about the secret bombing of Cambodia and Laos came out. It was such a horrendous betrayal as well as terrible malfeasance. On the other hand, we got disillusioned pretty quickly.
