“Yesterday, the Minnesota Republican Party held its nominating convention in Duluth. But the most outrageous moment came early in the proceedings
“A delegate then called for a moment of silence for Derek Chauvin, who was convicted of murdering George Floyd in 2020 and is in prison. State Rep. Danny Nadeau, R-Rogers, led a 10-second moment of silence after taking an informal vote The Minnesota GOP saw fit to have a moment of silence a thug masquerading as a Minneapolis cop who put his knee on Floyd’s neck and suffocated him to death.
My biggest takeaway from the Platner mess is stop listening to people who demand that you have to make up your mind six months before the election. If he really would have survived a campaign with more serious (and funded) opposition, so be it.
Related to that, stop making any of these races national issues before the primaries even happen.
I got to see that guy play when he was in college! Until that day, I had no idea that a 400-yard, 6-touchdown performance could possibly qualify as "unimpressive." Turns out it's eminently possible. :D Dude's done better in the NFL thus far than I ever imagined he would.
They really fucked up the post office and I am so pissed. Put together a care package yesterday to send to Jr for his 20th birthday (!!) next week and drove down to our local post office. Oh, look, it's now closed on Saturdays! Drive 20 minutes away to the next post office and drop off the package. Check the tracking, it won't arrive on his birthday! Fucking hell.
Unreal. Why would anyone do that? The GOP needs to be drowned in some bathtub and started anew.

Because they don't feel they need to hide their racism.
More "owning the libs," and IMO more Civil War levels of provocation.
These people need Reconstructed the fuck out of very, very badly. And I hope we give them what they're craving.
OT: OK, which one-a you guys who remember the '80s did this?

Remarkable that there were no Luigi's back then.
That is how water damage usually works.
Well, don't leave us hanging. What happened to the industrialists? Was there a happy ending where they all got washed away?
No, they all escaped liability for the thousands of people killed.
Such a terrible story with no accountability or consequences.

The picture's half empty.
Kevin Hassett urges Americans to look at whole picture on prices
Jonathan Karl challenged Hassett on his optimism, asking: “People seem anxious and uneasy about the economy, don’t they?”
Hassett said that if Americans just looked at their own situations, they’d realize they are doing pretty well.
https://www.politico.com/news/2026/05/31/kevin-hassett-inflation-gas-prices-00943730
Even more punchable than Pharma-bro. That's quite an accomplishment.
"Kevin Hassett"
See, there's your problem right there...
It would be nice if they could lower the interest rates. But that would require higher taxes on the rich.
That's the most fucked-up tone deaf empathy-free dreck that I've heard in about a moon or so.
He's a billionaire. That makes him by definition a worthless dragon, a hoarding sociopath that should *redacted*.
Wait a couple hours and Hassett will say something even more stupid!
Hassett lives in his Ayn Randian LAISSEIZ FAIRYLAND!
Voted by his HS senior class as "Most Likely to Have His Teeth Kicked In"
And yet no one did it. Another asshole who is allowed to get away with whatever he wants because $$$$$$$$.
I guess under Biden people loved their eggs too damned much?
We are demonstrably not doing well, and we won't be if this inflation continues, as it will until Trump ends this bullshit war.
I'm hereby ordering you to remove that photo . . .
Thank you for your attention to this matter 🌚 . . .
Trump has fucked up America’s 250 anniversary celebration, by making it all about him.
The debt IS ALL ABOUT HIM.
The Epstein files ARE ALL ABOUT HIM.
The corruption IS ALL ABOUT HIM.
The anniversary though shouldn’t be.

I'll remember the tall ships from 1976. I won't remember some human cockfight.
That photo of Stephen fuckin' Miller...add some standard circus clown makeup and it's
"𝘊𝘭𝘰𝘸𝘯𝘪𝘯' 𝘈𝘳𝘰𝘶𝘯𝘥 brings back the classic boardwalk water gun competition!"
Morning Wonks! Here is a nice interview of Medhi Hassan with one of The Blonde Women who read Trump for filth-

Batting a thing out of my hand - Yeah, that tracks.
OMG....I would have freaked after all that work and then the ink spill! Arrrgh....bad kitty!

The mail has become SO slow. I’ve had work mail that took over 10 days to reach its destination. 10 miles away.
They now don't scan in until it gets to the central facility in my area. It's just fucked.
The GOP ratfuckers are laser-focused on screwing mail-in voters.
Remember when DeJoy was literally sabotaging the post office mail sorting equipment? Absolute fucking villains.
Yes. Yes, I do.
And they're doing it again in California as we type.
I’m old enough to remember when Fox News wet its pants when Obama had poetry night at the White House.
Apparently a UFC fight is okay though.
Poetry night is for woke pansy posers. UFC is for real men!
They REALLY freaked out when some guy wore a flower hat and danced the Nutcracker in the White House, remember that?
Apropos of nothing, I just discovered that Archery Tag is a thing. It’s like dodgeball with arrows. And ESPN covers it.

Shoot your friends with arrows, they'll love it!
This game was made for Roland Schitt 🤣

One of many good actors who wound up in film series based on bad young adult books.
No Katnisses. Sorry.
<ARCHERY TAG® OFFERS A UNIQUE AND FUN WAY FOR PEOPLE OF ALL AGES TO ENJOY ARCHERY!>
Because shooting your friends will let them know how much you care about them.
You’re great! Now fucking duck!
I hope they have big nerf balls on the tips of those arrows. The link doesn't say.
As far as I can tell, there are foam balls at the tips. No one is howling from pain. Yet.
until someone takes an arrow to the knee...
Archery Tag?!!

Pretty much, Cap’n.
The bartender also just referred to it as professional dork tag 🤣
"I am begging Democratic leadership: don't make fear the strategy for 2028.
The GOP attacks everyone. It doesn't matter if it's a woman, a man, a Christian, a moderate, or a progressive.
Pick the best candidate. Trust voters. Meet the moment instead of running from it. #ProudBlue "

Fuck Stephen Miller, the man is nothing but a huge piece of shit. And fuck the president, YES, FUCK. THE. PRESIDENT.
Fuck the president with Cthulhu's dick!
Shit. Maybe he'd enjoy that.
