Springtime in Vermont always seems to include a mama and some cubs wandering through the back yard these days. Mama is always quick to turn and head back to the woods when she sees and hears us yelling at her. Sometimes she has to come back for the cubs, who are like "Oh hey! Wanna play with us?"
those two are made for each other....a crackhead and a ...well, you all can fill in the blanks.... though she may be a very nice person....but....marrying Jr. .....one has to question her moral compass....so I'm sticking with more trash being added to the stench of this family circle.
The GOP must be wondering...3 more years? How do we get rid of this guy, who will hang around our necks like a rotting albatross. Well, not to mention Valkyrie ( the July 44 bomb plot) cuz we don't want no martyrs...how about a buy out? Gonna be steep kids, cuz he's so dumb he might not realise the crypto- scam is looking dated, as is Bitcoin.
Ten billion? Oh for heaven's sakes, what are youse. tire kickers?
You want El Supremo, the Maximum Leader, the Maga Cult pope to retire? Napoleon got a better deal than that, plus a whole island (shoulda stayed there)
No kids. Prob gonna have be a hundred of the B big ones. Maybe bundle this with a threat to impeach, LIKE YOU COULD HAVE done before ( listening Mitch?)
Expensive? NO! Cheep. He costs the economy ten billion a week. Tariffs throw sand into the transmission known as the economy. You don't need 37 dolls, but one would be nice and here is no US toy industry (ex niches). Maybe more important, there is no US apparel industry (ex niches)
Telling your kid only one doll.. mmm...but one shoe?
Once again, the lizard people attempted to insert themselves into a very normal event (Santa's Chrstimas Eve ride) and fuck it up beyond all recognition with their stupid, stupid politics.
IMHO Shitler wouldn’t have been anything more useful to Russia than a ruble launderer if it hadn’t been for corporate media platforming him nationally with that shitty “reality” show.
Guys, I'm upset. That story about the Nazis getting arrested in Arkansas? The leader of that group is from MY town. I want to get the word out about him. I tried my local newspaper, only to find out it's been taken over by USA Today. AI answers the phone when you call, and hangs up on you if you try to reach the newsroom. So I went to the online edition, and I emailed several reporters about it, but who knows. Then I remembered I had a reddit account, and tried posting about it there, but it was rejected. I don't do social media, I haven't used reddit in years. How can I get the word out about this? I want that guy to be humiliated and lose his job like those jackasses from Charlottesville.
"The group calls itself Blood Tribe and was founded in 2022 by former United States Marine and tattoo artist Christopher Pohlhaus. The group, dressed in red and black, carry flags with swastikas and chant white supremacist slogans as they disrupt pro-LGBTQ+ events and rally in different states. The group helped spread the racist rumor that Haitian immigrants were eating cats and dogs in Springfield, Ohio, before the 2024 election. The Southern Poverty Law Center describes Blood Tribe as a white supremacist group that is unabashed about its admiration of Adolf Hitler."
I thought the lyrics were "reds, whites and wine." He must have been thinking of Deej:
"Christmas didn’t really need saving, but former President Donald Trump is — again — claiming he did it anyway. He revived the annual lie when prompted during an interview on Newsmax with former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee (R), who insisted that “America had gone through a long period where people quit saying ‘Merry Christmas.’” Trump claimed that, before his campaign, the country had “started with this woke” trend that made it “embarrassing for stores to say ‘Merry Christmas.’”
“They’d use reds and they’d use whites and snow but they wouldn’t say ‘Merry Christmas,’” he claimed. “When I started campaigning I said, ‘You’re going to say “Merry Christmas” again,’ and now people are saying it.”"
I think we have enough evidence by now to predict with confidence that whatever the worst possible thing to do or say is, Donald J. Trump will do or say it. Hang in there, Donald -- when they start giving out Nobel Prizes for being a completely worthless asshole, bigot, and sociopath, you're sure to win.
1) From above, the Florida AG Commissioner, Republican Wilton Simpson has also "offered" Florida children personalized “Certificates of Clearance” granting foreign national Santa Claus the right to enter Florida. Simpson appeared here in 2023 when he declared Florida to be the “Free State Of Christmas.” That same month he backed a bill that would ban the tracking of gun sales by credit card companies.
How long is the DOJ going to continue to label everything something that threatens "national security"? Boy Cries Wolf comes to mind. The piece goes on to say that the Secret Service originated the idea that, now that the East Wing has been demolished, they cannot properly operate - does sound like a "national Security" issue, but where were they when the Felonious one ordered the demolition of the East Wing? The project is not supposed to complete until 2028 ( above ground work apparently 2026 ) - so what does the Secret Service intend to do in the meantime to complete their mission?
Would also note that the supposedly "secret" underground bunker for the President was apparently under the East Wing. One wonders if Toerag realized he was blocking his path of retreat by demolishing the East Wing?
Looks like Coach is fighting back against Ron Johnson in the race for "Stupidest Senator" - but I think Randy Fine has a lock on "Stupidest Representative".

Mama Bear needs some re-cub-ery time!
Mama bear doing yoga while baby bears frolic. My heart is in uplift mode.
“Boy, I can bearly keep up with these kids!”
Former Chicagoite - yay Cubs!
Springtime in Vermont always seems to include a mama and some cubs wandering through the back yard these days. Mama is always quick to turn and head back to the woods when she sees and hears us yelling at her. Sometimes she has to come back for the cubs, who are like "Oh hey! Wanna play with us?"
Hello from a fellow V'mawntah!
With Christmas Eve a week away
I think of those who've passed
Watching grizzly cubs at play
Tells me that time moves fast
Enjoy the time with those you love
It seems good never lasts.
Fate's a gamble for us all
Uncertain dice get cast.
But the future has a different view
Who knows what it may hold
Merry Christmas to all here
And to those you dearly hold.
Better days may well hold sway
As the wise have always told.
Stay strong and loving in your hearts
Fate smiles upon the bold.
Lovely, I had to reach for a kleenex.
The Reiner family's losses, Brown U. students and others were on my mind.
This is one of the most beautiful things you've written, my sweet friend. Thank you!
Yes!!!
As always, thanks.
Aww! This is lovely!
I miss those we've lost, some I've only known through being here.
Never feed your cubs honey before nap time.
Did they have the bear necessities?
Those simple bear necessities?
What do I, me personally, have in common with people and cultures scattered through time and geography?
A deep and practically spiritual fascination with bears.

All the white horses are still in bed... but not these guys!
There's an entire short story captured in that there gif - plot line, character development, dramatic tension, the whole thing. <chef's kiss>
Bear babby zoomies! I love how bears grab their feet and roll over.
Snowbirds?
No.
Snowbears!
"MOM! MOM! MOM! MOM! MOM! MOM! Come play with us!!!"
"Calgon, take me away."
Everybody lurvs a snow day!
those two are made for each other....a crackhead and a ...well, you all can fill in the blanks.... though she may be a very nice person....but....marrying Jr. .....one has to question her moral compass....so I'm sticking with more trash being added to the stench of this family circle.

Has anyone given Grindr Mike a chance to say he hasn’t seen Pedo’s tweet yet?
He's still busy not seeing the Rob Reiner truth.

It’s Little Feat. I saw them live; great show!
And if you give me ... weed, whites, and wine
And you show me a sign, I'll be willin'
To be movin'
Well YOU try to hibernate with that shit goin' on!
I thought Junior was engaged to Kimberley Guilfoyle.
She was packed off to Greece as our ambassador, early in the year when Junior got tired of her.
The Greek people were rightly horrified.
"Memphian" It seems like it should be one Memphi, several Memphis ...
I'll always be grateful for Tori Amos rescuing Rattlesnakes from obscurity. She just fucking nails that one.
And then I have to listen to whatever that take on Heart of Gold was.
It's a fascinating album and has some high highs, but holy shit the lows on that one....
I think we have enough evidence by now to predict with confidence that whatever the worst possible thing to do or say is, Donald J. Trump will do or say it. Hang in there, Donald -- when they start giving out Nobel Prizes for being a completely worthless asshole, bigot, and sociopath, you're sure to win.
I don't think he's a sociopath. I think he's a psychopath.
Noam Chomsky was laughing with Steve Bannon. No further evidence needed IMO.
Three items I want to non-comment on:
1) From above, the Florida AG Commissioner, Republican Wilton Simpson has also "offered" Florida children personalized “Certificates of Clearance” granting foreign national Santa Claus the right to enter Florida. Simpson appeared here in 2023 when he declared Florida to be the “Free State Of Christmas.” That same month he backed a bill that would ban the tracking of gun sales by credit card companies.
This man is a menace.
2) WaPo headline:
"𝐖𝐡𝐢𝐭𝐞 𝐇𝐨𝐮𝐬𝐞 𝐛𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐫𝐨𝐨𝐦 𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐤 𝐦𝐮𝐬𝐭 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐮𝐞 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐧𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥 𝐬𝐞𝐜𝐮𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐲, 𝐃𝐎𝐉 𝐬𝐚𝐲𝐬"
