Speaking of the Sunday shows . . .there was also this fucking Trumpshit: "Trump calls for NBC’s Kristen Welker to face ‘rebuke or punishment’"
Trump threatened to sic the FCC on NBC/Welker because she reported that he has had 'mixed results' with his endorsement. Yeah, that's where we are in Fascism 2026.
It is a theological question and therefore not amenable to rational discussion. The answer is always "God wills it so". Never mind that this "God" they cite is a sock puppet that always thinks the way his self-selected interpreters do.
OT Warsh describing the money in 19th C poetry. Wall St. not feeling it today. Or any other day. Everything sold off. Oil, of course, up, nearly 3%. Me, I have experienced "sentiment headwinds." So I bought her flowers. Wall St not so much.

That side by side shot of Talarico & Paxton shows two Texas archetypes: skinny cowboy and corrupt used car dealer. Or maybe propane - Paxton reminds me of Mr. Strickland of Strickland Propane in King of the Hill.
The Trump administration’s decision to invite Russia’s finance minister to a gathering of top global financial officials in North Carolina drew immediate protests from European nations on Monday.

I have taught the children of many Haitian immigrants over the years and I admire them greatly. I know many of my former students will be sent back there. This is a crime.
In 2008, the US Senate passed a resolution saying "John Sidney McCain, III, is a 'natural born Citizen' under Article II, Section 1, of the Constitution of the United States.” It was cosponsored by Senators Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton, and passed unanimously.

Imagine if America didn’t win WW2 but Roosevelt and Truman did post AI generated memes as if they had?
Truman's face in the rising sun of the Japanese flag.
On the winning side, certainly.

Although just after writing it down I realize "Not Ken's Pen" has a better ring to it.

All due respect to once somehow well known aptonym Arthur Laffer, who is now 86.
For as terrible as all these assholes appearing on the Sunday shows are, somehow this article is a welcome respite after the FBI beastiality post.
Now the GeeOhPee Ka$h register.
New show titles: Failed State of the Union and Two Face the Nation. ETA: Fuck Ted Cruz.
I would be fine with another Wonket membership drive in which we replace photos of Trump and Ted Cruz with photos of cats and doggos.
Or perhaps properly stylized poop emojis.

I wouldn't be anywhere near a babby water buffalo. Mom's right there and that may be the most dangerous aminal in the world.
Great. Now I want a babby water buffalo!

If anybody not Trump did this the Republicans would be screaming “Traitor!”
Would they though?
I know right? If a fellow Gooper said it they'd be like "well I mean it's highly irregular but I'm sure there was a good reason."

a possible [presidential] run?
CRUZ: As I said, there will be a time for that conversation.
Yes, there is. The heat death of the universe is a *long* time away.
The way things are going, the heat death of the universe cannot come soon enough.
Ted Cruz was born in Canada. The subject has been litigated up to the Supremes.

Math is science, what he's doing is pretty fucking far from actual math.
Give him a break, he only has so many fingers and he hasn't seen his toes for decades now.
