I can’t figure out what’s funnier; the determined tail pulling, the wrassling in the background or the bite at the end. It reminds me of the beginning of ‘Shaun of the Dead’ where he’s riding the bus not noticing all the zombies outside.
I surely thought Our Liz would be making a cameo appearance with this headline. 🤭
Also, SC declines to hear appeal of Montana SC overturn of its abortion ban. Here's my "strict constitutional construction" head scratcher phrase from the NBC News story
"In asking the U.S. Supreme Court to weigh in, Montana officials said the state high court’s ruling was inconsistent with the right of parents to oversee the care of their children, which has been recognized under the U.S. Constitution’s 14th Amendment."
What the actual fuck? For all of the legitimate things the 14th does protect that conservatives claim it doesn't, it takes a lot of balls to say that it covers something that has no textual basis at all. "Parents" and "children" don't appear anywhere in the Constitution.
After seeing those articles in Dame, More Perfect Union, and The Fucking News I can only respond (I hope no one will be offended by this obviously offensive prank) "Sum Ting Wong, Wi Tu Lo, Ho Lee Fuk, Bang Ding Ow".
Appreciate the link to the Atlantic article. “Sludge” makes having a chronic illness a part (or full, depending on yer sitch) time job, dealing with all kinds of unnecessary admin stuff and augmented by all sorts of cottage industries looking to make a buck off your pain.
One example: CVS “specialty” pharmacy provided one drug I tried. They bombarded me with texts, freaking me out by erroneously insisting that my med was not yet approved, urging me to call my doc, etc. I did call the doc, and was told I was indeed approved and don’t worry. (I got one such text while *literally* sitting in my doctor’s office with an IV of said drug in my arm). 🫠
And yeah, it absolutely is demoralizing. You can indeed start to feel powerless, worthless, hopeless, like you don’t matter. Like nothing matters. Then, you get infuriated. It’s really great for your health.
So, Senator Murkowski, how did your clever ploy to force House Republicans to send the bill back to the Senate work out, you fucking hideous-word-that-I-swore-I-would-never-use.
Too bad it happened after FFOTUS had left - but 1 1/2 inches of rain in a Florida rain shower is a common occurance. Is ICE gonna wait until some poor detainee gets electrocuted?
I see FFOTUS has nominated Alina Habba to become the permanent US Attorney in the New Jersey district ( she has been serving there on an "interim basis" )
One sincerely hopes that she will receive the same reception by the Senate that Ed Martin did when FFOTUS nominated him to fill the DC US Attorney post permanently - i.e. kick her to the curb - of course, like the case with Martin, FFOTUS will find some other administration job where she can display her incompetence while fucking over the rest of us.
Years ago I worked in a government office with a guy who had graduated 2nd in his class at NYU law and then, after passing the bar, had an accident while cycling that resulted in neurological damage. He had trouble thinking like a lawyer and could barely do what we did in that office. A politician he had campaigned for got him a sinecure as a workers’ comp judge. The justification was that his clerk would do all the work. I wish it could be that simple with Habba, but you know she’s going to insist on making the important decisions.
Is there any way to get NATO or the UN to put sanctions on the US over Alligator Auschwitz? It’s an obscene violation of human rights and dignity and needs to be investigated. Anyone involved should be arrested immediately.

Has anyone noticed how pup with the tail in his mouth peeks at the camera? "Are you watching this, CHECK IT OUT!"
The Golden Retriever got my vote for Most Significant Human Accomplishment of the 19th Century!
I want 5 million puppies.
That might help our mood.
Soooo cute, thank you Martini :)
Golden retriever puppies are the absolute cutest! Source: 5 time Golden Retriever mom.
PUPPIES!! These pups look about the same age as ours right now - all mouth, puppy teeth, and waggy tails. What a great way to start the day!
FLOOFY BABIES!!!!
Thanks, Martini!
How cute is that?
We all need puppies and kittens right now. I don't have any current kitten pics because the babies at the kitty rescue were all adopted! YAY!
Yay kitty adoptions!!!!!
I can’t figure out what’s funnier; the determined tail pulling, the wrassling in the background or the bite at the end. It reminds me of the beginning of ‘Shaun of the Dead’ where he’s riding the bus not noticing all the zombies outside.
Unnecessary RUFFNESS on the field!
5 scritch penalty!
OMG!

Every time I read this comment I laugh!
Beautiful babies.
Puppy mayhem is the best mayhem...
Bite me!
Yank it. Yank it hard.
I've slung a lot of hash in my time (for those who don't know, being a waitress ) and I cheer for
AOC. And I just had to come back to look at the puppies, they are cheering me up.
The Unaffordable Care Act going live in 3, 2, 1!

Five bucks don't buy much feminist nowadays. Fucking Biden, man.

As a NCian, I just want to say that Thom Tillis arrived far too late with far too little.
At least he's smart enough not to run for reelection...
And he shouldn't leave a forwarding address.
But are we at war with Norway???
We've always been at war with Norway.

Or a staff member.
No- that way they don't have to buy an electric chair

She’s both a shameless sycophant and completely incompetent. She’ll sail through.
What's the pup in the extreme back, to the left, doing?
Lol, I hadn't noticed that!
