Geez, that hideous Republican "I'll tell any lie as long as it will oppress minorities and get me more power" face
"With everything going on with ICE lately, it’s a good time to remember that Democrats tried to get a police reform package (which would have mitigated a lot of this nonsense) passed but voters didn’t give them with enough seats to overcome republican obstruction."
There is no one in Washington that can stop this idiot from declaring everything an emergency? Yes there are. They are called Republicans. And What is more , the are fully on board with this mayhem gaslighting this country by saying it is all part of the big beautiful bill that is supposed to make everything wonderful while he unsystematically dismantles every civil protection we have. At some point we are going to have to physically stop this man in his tracks.
"WHITAKER: Both sides, again, are going to have to agree to end this war. […] [N]o big chunks or sections are going to be just given that haven't been fought for or earned on the battlefield."
So that's why the proven rapist Trump sent the Marines into LA.
If I might be petty for a moment—Vance is 10 years younger than me and either he's aging badly or I'm aging well. I'm hoping it's a little from column A, a little from column B.
Or it could be that you have led a decent life--not without a few flaws no doubt--and he has wallowed in the muck of self-delusion and pathetic humiliation licking the nearest billionaire's balls. And, pettiness is next to godliness where I come from.
That seeing a picture of Trump or any of a number of other Republicans makes me queasy goes without saying. Now it is JD's turn. He looks like a C student in calculus class who is having a hard time grasping the concept of a limit, although he is exerting his full mental capacities trying to do so.
"He looks like a C student in calculus class who is having a hard time grasping the concept of a limit, although he is exerting his full mental capacities trying to do so." I think it is fractions, decimals, and percents, or perhaps the concept of long division.
All these fucking Republicans talking about how to end the Russian invasion of Ukraine by having Ukraine cede territory to Russia are just disgusting pieces of shit. Even without Zelenskyy's refutation of that shit, why do these shitbirds think they can make decisions for Ukraine without ever talking with Ukraine.
As it is, allowing an aggressor nation to just take another sovereign nation's territory should NEVER be tolerated. I was going to say it hasn't happened since an Austrian house painter got into power, but then I remember China taking over Tibet ( and they didn't settle for just part of Tibet ) - and I'm sure there's been other examples that I just can't think of just now, but they've all be roundly criticized by American presidents until now.
If we were ever actually attacked by foreign power, these guys would surrender. Wouldn't put up a fight. Would beg, cower, and pee their pants before their adversary. Not one of them has any honor or sense of decency. How do I know? They are Trumpies and that tells me everything I need to know about them.
Considering Bernie's gonna be 87 by the time the next presidential election rolls around (if he's even still alive), And considering how much ink was spilled in the last 10 years or so about how old Biden and Dump are, that question from Dana Bash was one of the stupidest questions I've ever heard.
I kind of hate that someone so useless has also been put in the position to ruin peoples' lives
'Cos I'm old enough to remember that he said on camera that he's willing to tell lies even when the lies have been debunked and even when they're identified as lies to his face
CNN wrote that time that Vance felt the need “to create stories so that the … media actually pays attention to the suffering of the American people” after the Bash interview.
That was surreal af but also entirely on brand for Vance.
Rhode Island is the last state to practice "V-J Day," though now referred to as "Victory Day" as of 2020, and that's going on today - state and municipal offices and services closed for the day
the racist imagery being kept up through the end of last century, and being the last state to pointedly celebrate something everyone else gave up celebrating - because Japan, like Germany, is now our ally (at least putatively) and it's kinda not nice to shit on your friends

Sometimes I wonder if there are some even more interesting names in those Epstein files like Alito, Roberts, and Thomas.
Turtle was single for a while during that time, wasn't he?
Perhaps for some of it. Mr. Epstein was entertaining people on his island, jet, and townhouse for quite a few decades.
Oh, and being single isn't exactly an excuse for statutory rape, either.
No, being single is not a defense. Just wondering if that might explain why the turtle did not push too hard on impeachment.

At 84 Bernie Sanders is smarter than most men half his age.
Congratulations, you've found the unicorn.
Vance for president! His charisma and overall likability makes him a guaranteed winner!
It is pretty clear, to me at least, that bernie is passing the torch to AOC

Bless his heart.

You just know he's going to come out of that meeting waving a piece of paper around like he's Neville Chamberlin.
Gaza.
I saw that Bibi was just talking about Gaza City now - does that mean he's backing off his idiocy about occupying the entire Gaza Strip?
to say nothing of the West Bank
OT: Just learned that one of the ace guitarists in Austin, and an old friend, has been diagnosed with ALS. That sucks balls.
"After washing balls for Kash Patel, Pam Bondi..."
Wait a sec! Pammy Jo has balls to wash? Who knew she was a transgender person?
Somebody make sure she's using the correct bathroom!
Nancy Mace can crawl under the stall to check.
Shit, make her squat in the woods.
And make her carry a shovel to clean up.

Given he didn't answer it, seems like it was a spot on question to give the slippery old fraud
This cartoon & incident are from 2018 - even though the situation is worse now than it was then
"This cartoon got Rob Rogers
@rob-rogers.bsky.social
fired from his job as the Editorial Cartoonist for the Pittsburg Post-Gazette after 25 years.
Freedom of the press used to mean something."

I will never not see and hear Vance as Southpark Vance ever again. Saddest veep ever.
Parker and Stone are geniuses (unstable ones, I'll admit) for putting Vance in the room with baby oil.
That's how I'll always see him.
Creep Veep butthole lubricator.
I kind of hate that someone so useless has also been put in the position to ruin peoples' lives
'Cos I'm old enough to remember that he said on camera that he's willing to tell lies even when the lies have been debunked and even when they're identified as lies to his face

We should start saying that Chump's in the Epstein Files even though we haven't seen the Epstein Files.
yes
I remember
I remember even more than that he said it that he received ZERO pushback
Of course not. People in the media doing the work they're supposed to do would be the real shocker here.
Those are the worst people to be in charge if history is any indication. He'll be the first one to claim ye olde I was just following orders.
off topic
Rhode Island is the last state to practice "V-J Day," though now referred to as "Victory Day" as of 2020, and that's going on today - state and municipal offices and services closed for the day
still, vaguely racist!
Celebrating "Peace Day" would be a wee bit less racisty.
I'm not sure how that's vaguely racist?
(within memory it was about physically beating "the Japs" replete with racist caricatures)
"Victory in Japan Day" isn't racist to me.
The imagery of the time is fucking vile, I'll grant you that.
Very much so, and across the board. Lots of dehumanization of the grossest kind.
"victory *over* Japan day," to my point,
and the imagery was still out there 25 years ago or less
That's what it was. V-E day was victory over Nazi Germany. There was a war; they lost, we won.
I don't argue that point
the racist imagery being kept up through the end of last century, and being the last state to pointedly celebrate something everyone else gave up celebrating - because Japan, like Germany, is now our ally (at least putatively) and it's kinda not nice to shit on your friends
Coincidentally, racism toward Asians, especially east and south Asians has gotten all too popular in roughly that quarter century.
