Do you want to see Simon Pegg's monkey impression? It's at the end of this prophetic sketch of a billionaire hotel proprietor. No, not prophetic of Trump. Prophetic of Elon and his sense of "humour".
Lady Rebecca, all of these are great. 😁 That Wyclef song was a slow, subtle banger. 🥹
Years ago at the beginning of Trump I term (aka Never-ending Narcissistic Nightmares) I joined Twitter under the same pseudonymous moniker I use here, and followed Popehat and loved his prosaic insight back then. I regret not at all leaving there long before Elno made it a hellscape of hate and "All Hail Musk or you will submit or be banished and/or (low)brow beaten." 🙄🤦🏼♂️😤🤮
Now that we're preparing our spiritual and intellectual bunkers, and prepping and for endless, needless, petty-ass bullshit and pain from the White Power House during Trump II term (aka Never-ending Narcissistic Nightmares 2 — Goosestepping To Eternity), I humbly submit that we are *blessed and honored* to have you, dearest comrade. 🫡 🙇🏻
AOC thinks that Gaetz's resignation from the House this week was done only to kill the ethics investigation and only applies to the current congressional term, not the term that starts on 3 January.
So ... even the UN with so few powers of enforcement can't call a spade a spade, but claims "What might be a spade could possibly maybe have the appearance of a apade"
So, okay, now what?
Even if the billions promised to Bibi and the IDF in aid (please note "the people of Israel" WAS NOT SAID) -- Gaza is still razed to the ground, the IDF has pronounced that "Palestinians should not plan to return home", Jared is planning condos in Gaza with his godfather Bibi and John Oliver has Israeli right wingers in the Cabinet, in the 70s, saying they "need Hamas" in order to push their "program" of Palestinian genocide ON TAPE.
Because not only is it too late for this - but you all just went ahead and backed the horse millions if us exhorted you all not to back and you really thought that greedy mobster, allied with White Christian nationalists, was going to do better for your people, Lebanese in Dearborn, than the Black lady
I’m focusing on what I can do for now to help my community because people are going to need help. I also want to try to build supports back home in Trinidad because once things start going bad I think it’s going to happen fast and people will need to bug out quick.

I'm about done with all this, but there are some numbers that bear pointing out. One way to look at this is that while 13,000,000 fewer Democrats voted in the presidential election this time than in 2024, Kamala Harris basically only lost 132,583 votes in key battleground states.
She equaled or bettered President Biden's performance in WI, NV and GA. She under performed in MI, PA and AZ by that grand total of 132K.
BUT - PAB got a LOT more votes in all those states than he did in 2020. Remember - PAB got 1.5 million FEWER total votes than in 2020 but man, did he get out the vote in the states that mattered.
Democrats need to study how that happened because you can bet JD Vance is going to use the same successful strategies when he runs in 2028.

Madness.
Now I know where they got the idea for The Three Stooges.
pretty cold putting that gif of republicans up there, martini.
Aw, they are way cuter and smarter than those chuds ;-)
yeah, you're right.
I can't manage to watch that without hearing that annoying swaying rhythm from "We Three Kings from Orient Are."
🎶"Larry, Moe and Cur-urley Joe..."🎵
From out of the blue, that.
“Hi ho, hi ho,
It’s off to work we go,
Hi ho hi ho hi ho hi ho,
Hi ho, hi ho!”
Dueling Earworms, thanks.
There's never been a dance that's so easy to do
It even makes you happy when you're feeling blue
Hmmmm, not the Simian Centipede I had envisioned.
Give that pitch to me again. Could be the best film since "Cannibal Holocaust."
The Nairobi Trio, plus one
Solfeggioooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!
Among the efforts that I support are a couple of chimp rescue operations.
Should humanity persist, our treatment of primates should be among the most painful sources of shame.
Gorillas, for me. Protection for them and support for their bodyguards' families.
See no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil, and evil
*do no evil

Monkeyshines!
Don't make a monkey out of Dave
9.5/10 -- No obelisk.
that was just so very awesome..... thank you!!!
"You'll never make a monkey out of me!!"
Remembering the Planet of the Apes musical from The Simpsons.
"Can I play the Piano anymore?"
"Well of course you can!"
...
I couldn't before!
Now I have that song in my head!

I don't understand the idea that cancelling student debt is unfair. Was it unfair to end slavery because some people had already died in bondage?

((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((Ms.Moon)))))))))))))))))))))))))))))
The sense I get from the excellent Popehat article is that the Deep State is going to shred these maroons something fierce over the next four years.
Moral arc of the universe not feeling so hot.
Maybe it’s because America, for the most part, has been on the wrong side of the arc.
Well, I was close. I predicted VP Harris would get 80% of the Jewish vote; she got 78%. Which beat Pres. Biden's total by 10%. So don't blame us. 🦝
Thank you, Jewish Americans!
For once, you're in the clear. 😁
For once?
Easy, I just meant you usually get blamed for everything.
Sorry, I'm more than a bit jumpy these days.
Trump said it would be our fault if he didn't win. No one can say we didn't do our best.
Certainly didn't mean to add to your anxiety. We all did our best, well...all of us who voted for Harris.
Trump says a lot of bullshit. The tough part is that too many take it seriously and act on it.
I wish you peace.
Thank you! I really appreciate it.

I guess we had a brown out long enough to trigger the alarm on the UPS backup powering a computer in the bedroom.
After 2:45 am alarm chirping & lights on & buttons pushed… I feel like I spent the rest of the night restlessly tossing and turning.
It has already been a long day. 😞
