So..If no one else is gonna I will. I'm gonna swing wildly off topic and wish everyone here a Very Happy Dolly Parton Day! HAPPY DOLLY PARTON DAY WONKS!
September 25 is officially Dolly Parton Day. Get it? 9-2-5. I'm sorry to say I had to think about it for a moment to figure out why September 25th was chosen. Damnation she was the best of all humanity.
OT: so of course the Roberts Court just ended democracy in the US.
The Supreme Court ruled on Friday that the Trump administration can deploy an expansive online system that combines citizenship information, Social Security numbers and other sensitive data about millions of Americans, including to allow states to use it to hunt for ineligible voters.
Hey look, what I don't think you're factoring in on those high costs for Booby Brainworm's security detail is that there have been several plausible threats made on his life by a variety of revenge-seeking survivors whose family members he is known to have personally consumed, had "relations [of some unknown kind] with" (allegedly,) or carved up into fetish objects for his amusement. When you have bears, badgers, raccoons, possums, skunks, dogs, aardvarks, anteaters, giraffes, eagles, naked vole rats, snakes, sharks, dolphins and sperm whales all gunning for you, the world suddenly isn't a friendly place anymore, you know?
Now, now, in fairness to Bob Kennedy, he needs a full biomedical team at all times to analyze any road kill he finds before he eats it.
Also, as you are fully aware, D.C. is now a near apocalyptic city where brutes roam the streets with box cutters cutting giant gashes into pool liners and throwing sandwiches at people.
Most humans can't imagine such horrors. Can you?????
Not to mention all the dangerous debris lying all over the place that some madman has created by destroying various parts of DC just to feed his insatiably whingy tiny turd of an ego!
"Now, I know you Chinamen think you're the shit when it comes to tricking your population with stupid propaganda, but—COME ON—you can't touch this beauty here. And there is more where that came from, trust me."
Maybe I’m adorable too, but I feel there is value in pointing out the illegalities of what’s going on, regardless of whether it affects the current regime’s actions. So, thank you!
Perhaps, although it was a different famous authoritarian who once said: "One illegality committed by a felonious pedobrained precednent hamburdur is a tragedy. Innumerable illegalities committed by them are a statistic."
While I love the idea, one year left? Even counting to the ‘28 election not the swearing in, we’ve got over two… 😢 Unless a cabinet secretary can only serve a 3-year term?
The end of next year is when the recalls go out on any leftover animated 7-11 roller hotdogs with croaky the frog voices still wandering amongst the public.

It should be made a national holiday and be a day that encourages people to giving.

What happened to that thing in The Constitution where individual states run elections?
I thought, absent negligence or malfeasance, the federal government had no oversight role.
These back-stabbing pricks fail utterly and entirely to recognize the stunning measures of rage and resentment this will provoke among Americans.
Payback is gonna hurt...
I certainly hope so
More important now that ever to keep tabs on our voter registrations. I can't wait to see how many registered Dems end up on "ineligible" lists.
That’s what provisional ballots are for.
Good point.
The system is close to bulletproof, which is why they’re struggling to break it.
hah. i don't see how that possibly affects the Texas races. there are limits to how much you can purge a thoroughly purged voter roll.
Oh, for sure! TX is a fucked as fucked can get already. :D
Why won't some preventable disease take him????
Or an unpreventable disease? Or an overdose? Or a wood chipper? As I see it, the "taking" part is what primarily counts. :D
All of them

OT: THIS IS BAD NEWS. VERY BAD. I'm sorry.

Where will the bread lines be? I want to get in line early.
Come join my dirty hippy artsy commune in the desert!
You have to get the app and then scan the QR code for that info.
I'm counting on Cheryl Hines, like Ivanka for her father, to rein in RFKJ's worst instincts.
In private
Donald Trump attacks our allies but welcomes China who is helping Iran attack our troops?
Yes, because Donnie like your typical DV perp directs his anger at the world at those closest to him who won’t fight back.
Now, now, in fairness to Bob Kennedy, he needs a full biomedical team at all times to analyze any road kill he finds before he eats it.

The horror.... the horror....

I can't, and I *work* there!
Donnie explains to Pooh how he faked his assassination and gained millions of sympathy votes from his uneducated base.

I still don't get the Winnie the Pooh reference to that guy.
it's all facial expression.
Xi already has all the intel that is was a faked assassination
He's still alive, why not just hire Rosie Greer for security?
Too bad Ray Milland is gone, else they could hire The Thing With Two Heads.
Exactly where my thoughts went
"the HHS siphoned $12 million from the OMH in order to cover it."
i can haz healthcare? pleeze?
He had to destroy your heathcare in order to destroy it.
I know, I’m being adorable here, but was the money for OMH not appropriated BY CONGRESS to be used for WHAT CONGRESS APPROPRIATED IT FOR?
How the FUCK is diverting those funds for Secretary Drano Voice’s private army even fucking leagal?
You need to remember that the legality of any given action is IRRELEVANT to this reprobate regime.
Maybe I’m adorable too, but I feel there is value in pointing out the illegalities of what’s going on, regardless of whether it affects the current regime’s actions. So, thank you!
Perhaps, although it was a different famous authoritarian who once said: "One illegality committed by a felonious pedobrained precednent hamburdur is a tragedy. Innumerable illegalities committed by them are a statistic."
And really, any republican who knows (everyone knows) about said illegal shit and did nothing to stop it is a co-conspirator.
Oh yeah. Even the ones that are on their way out. Looking at you Tillis.
Because Russ Vought, christofascist and Project 2025 co-author, runs the Office of Management and Budget.
And he’s been slapped down for rerouting funds before IIRC.

Awwww…where’s my kittums? Must hug.
I'm afraid that my eyes are leaking again...
It’s just dust.

I swear.
That was beautiful, thank you.
He needs more security because he's afraid of the people he's supposed to be serving. All of these people are gutless cowards.
And he's afraid of the people he's supposed to be serving because he's stealing from them
From us
He's not a passive actor in any of this
Of course. It's a criminal enterprise first and foremost.
