Sammy and Martha-Ann are poster children for pettiness and nastiness.

Martha-Ann will gladly and loudly and with some martini hiccups proclaim her love of insurrection, if it means right wingers refusing to accept a democrat as potus. Always remember, these people truly believe they are waging a war not between varying socioeconomic, cultural and political views, but between good and evil itself. It’s one of the reasons mixing beer and wine…no…mixing religion with politics is so incredibly dangerous.

VERGOGNA, the Italian word for “shame,” is from the Greek word VAGINA, which means “women’s shame” in the conservative dictionary, as in, “keep your vagina to yourself and don’t dress to allure you won’t ever need an abortion.” Knees together, Martha-Ann. Wait, didn’t The Beach Boys abandon a song about a Christofascist woman putting up revenge flags to shame her neighbors? To the tune of Help Me Rhonda?

Well since they put me down I’ve been outside hanging my flag.

I put it up late at night and in the morning it will make them sad.

Because their pride flags caught my eye.

And it gives me lots of reasons why.

I’ve gotta, hang a hateful, anti LGBTQIA flag!

Help me, Martha, help help me, Martha.

Help me, Martha-Ann, to make our neighborhood sad.

I wonder if Alito and Thomas would say - officially or not - that it would be Constitutional for a gay or lesbian person to be elected President? I seriously doubt it.

"but then we remembered fuck it because who cares."

I approve of this message.

Just hearing her, to be kind, laugh, in those recordings, should bring about pity and other, to be kind, feelings, by any normal person who by their own curiosity or, to be kind, kindness was, to be kind, asked but not exactly forced, to listen to that shit.

Mrs alito is not, to be kind, well.

And her husband sam, well, he don't seem to care.

And John Roberts, who gets paid slightly more salary because his title includes the word chief, well he don't care none either.

But I suppose Mr and Mrs alito are, to be kind, made for each other. She doesn't mind his utter contempt for all humankind, and he's okay with the fact that she won't listen to anyone who might suggest that she not do absolutely ape shit crazy stuff.

It's Partisan Political Hack Samuel Alito; we can't call him Justice any more.

So we can call him "Pee-Pee Sam" for short?

You can even call him "Pee-Pee Head Sam" for short. :)

The dishonorable injustice Alito?

Acceptable. But he hates being called a political hack.

Didn't Groucho Marx play the head of state of Vergogna?

I've been to Vernonia, OR. Rode my bicycle there from Portland once.

I was not ashamed at all.

definitely no insinuation there. she was hanging literal insurrectionist flags that fellow insurrectionists fly to show their support of the ending of democracy in the United States. it isn't really a debatable premise? very cut and dry.

The fact that those shitstains weren't tarred and feathered and ran out of DC on a rail immediately after this news came out leaves me outraged. OUTRAGED!

Love seeing Secretary Pete on the TV. He's definitely good at messaging.

That Mayor Pete guy has a knack for saying things against the opposition that are concise and effective. Might be handy in a national election some day. Jus' sayin'.

About the Dobbs decision, "[Leonard] Leo notes that Chief Justice John Roberts 'would have decided the order of decisions that would come out that day' — June 24, 2022. 'And I don’t think he ... well, I don’t know. Maybe he knew it was the Feast of the Sacred Heart?'"

I've fallen into a Dan Brown book and the writing is not good. Paging Inkheart Brendan Fraser!

In the meantime, just started reading the very well written new book by Lisa Lerer and Elizabeth Dias, "The Fall of Roe: The Rise of a New America."

makes sense as they CONSTANTLY insist the secret satanic pedophile cabals must always show their hand with using certain numbers or colors or words or gestures as they say it gives them power or some nonsense. and only the brave conservative geniuses are smart enough to decode the secret (but public) symbols of the nefarious plans.

since every single thing is projection with conservatives... it absolutely tracks they'd do something weird like make abortion ruling be on some religiously significant day.

While global temperatures continue to rise, polar ice melts, seawater becomes more acidic, famines, droughts and extreme weather become more common, lawmakers focus on Trump's dalliances, Hunter's gun purchase forms, where people are peeing, what flags are on what flagpoles, what pronouns are appropriate for who, and other very important matters. Maybe if we let atmospheric CO2 levels get high enough we won't have to worry about any of that other stuff because we won't be here. Hate to be an alarmist, but climate change is very real , very potentially hazardous, perhaps even fatal for humans, and the sky is falling!. We should be taking very definitive even drastic measures to reverse CO2 levels NOW if it isn't already too late. and we go the way of the dinosaurs. Maybe 60 million years from now some new primary species will be looking at our fossils and theorizing about what wiped us out.
