I couldn't be more thrilled! The 50-year mortgage and other ideas are on the table!

Hear that, person who can't pay the rent that their landlord doubled last fall? Ideas like a mortgage you can't pay during your lifetime are ON THE TABLE!

What's that you say? After paying your rent, you can't afford food? Oh well, look on the bright side -- there'll be all the more room on your table for all the ideas.

Grover Norquist is still out there in DC at age 69, trying make banging his anti-tax drum relevant again. https://theconversation.com/grover-norquists-lasting-influence-on-the-gop-and-us-economic-policy-256978

AOC for Speaker? Oh fuck yeah.

Ta, MM, and un feliz año nuevo to you and your loved ones. I know Nancy Pelosi plays her cards close to the vest, so I'm taking what she said about Jeffries with a very large chunk of bright pink Himalayan salt.

"KARL: Which side is Trump on?

TURNER: I -- you know, clearly, you know, Trump [sic] is on the side of peace."

Stupid question. The Fulvous Fuckwad is on the side that benefits him, personally, the most. At the moment the Cantaloupe Codpiece sides with Vladimir Vladimirovich -- his sugar daddy and an example of what the Safety Orange Suckass hopes to become when he grows up.

-----

"KARL: So, how does that affect his effort to try to broker a peace deal?

TURNER: Clearly, a war of aggression is started by Russia, and it has been started by Russia. […] And I think that -- that in -- that Trump’s [sic] sense of wanting peace is incredibly important, and I think it’s a noble goal."

I call bovine scat.

* Turner is using RINO argle-bargle with his it was started by Russia and is(?) started by Russia. He's playing Capt Obvious thinking he can get away with stating what the world already knows.

* Peace is incredibly important to the Deep Saffron Dipstick... but only if he can claim to have brokered it so he can be awarded the Nobel Peace Prize. The Black, Muslim Obama got one so why can't he be a recipient too. (That is besides the fact that he has failed in every attempt to broker ceasefires much less peace treaties; bombed Iran; launched a missile strike in Nigeria because the Muslim rebels are killing Christians -- he doesn't give a fuck that the rebels are also slaughtering fellow Muslims; continued supplying armaments to Israel knowing they would be used to bomb and kill civilians; blowing up vessels in international waters because a couple people with extreme conflicts of interest told him they were narcoterrorists; put military into US cities...)

* Peace is, indeed, important but the Shocking Orange ShitForBrains wants a peaceful world as he envisions it: Putin has hegemony in Europe, Xi in Asia, and him the entire western hemisphere, with Africa being divvied up by the three of them.

Ron Johnson: "Understand, Somalis have just been in this country a few years. They're amateurs when it comes to fleecing the federal government."

> "You are entitled to your informed opinion. No one is entitled to be ignorant." Harlan Ellison

* A few years is subjective; Somalis have been coming to America for about 100 years, student visas grew in the 1960s, and Somalis were given refugee status in 1992:

> "A small number of Somalis came to settle in the Northeastern United States in the 1920s, others came to study in the 1960s, and a surge in Somali immigration occurred in the 1990s after the outbreak of civil war combined with years of famine, floods and drought. Somalia has not had a recognized government since 1991." https://libguides.mnhs.org/somali#

* Of course a RINO would declare the Somalis as "amateurs when it comes to fleecing the federal government[]" for 33 years, the RINOs had perfected the art of ripping off the gubmint for their own purposes for about 150 years.

Trump is sure he will get a peace prize even if he has to bomb 20 different countries to make it happen!

Yeah, the real pros at fleecing the government are republicans like Rick Scott.

Final Sunday shows of 2025 in one sentence: Republicans know exactly what’s happening, say half of it out loud, then salute the man driving the bus off the cliff.

Mike Turner blinking “help me” in Morse code while calling surrender “peace” was… something. Fox Republicans out here pitching 50-year mortgages, tariff joy, and Schrödinger’s Immigrants.

Meanwhile Pelosi calmly says, “We get the gavel, this ends.”

No yelling. No chaos. Just a deadline.

Hackneyed Jeffries, Chuckles Schumer, Gavin "no trannies or wealth taxes on my watch" Newsom and the rest of the corporate Dem "leadership" will do absolutely nothing to inconvenience Wall Street, the Pentagon and the fascist tech bros. Just look how they fear and hate progressives like Mamdani and AOC. Their failures will in turn grease the skids for the next American Nazi government.

I can just hear them mumbling that defunding ICE may well prove to be imprudent.

Jeffries is not respected by the members, but the Dem loser leadership wants him, and that’s what Pelosi means by “members.”

I vacillate between despair and these weird rare flashes of hope that we really are capable, collectively, of being as good as we have believed we are— that the Yanks really are coming, and this time, we are the ones that need saving, and that somehow we’re gonna pull this out of the fire.

So I’m still hoping that we’re playing in an action-adventure movie, when evidence suggests that it’s a dystopian zombie apocalypse.

Well, I hope she's wrong about Jefferies. I know she's hand-picked him and tried to train him to be her replacement, but he's not it for me.

Real tired of the casual racism of the scapegoating

https://www.wonkette.com/p/your-final-2025-sunday-show-rundown/comment/192892354

Especially with ZERO suggestions of any other Democrat who could do better without similar racist pushback like AOC & Jasmine Crockett are getting because they're "too progressive"
