I literally just asked in another thread: Why is anyone giving this failed sell-out any oxygen? Who cares what Stefanik has to say?

My question is, why is anyone giving this failed sell-out any oxygen? Who cares what Stefanik has to say?

That’s “lying down,” not “laying down.”

Biden mention ... Drink!

I didn’t realize that the head of the FBI needs to fly around the country to fight crime, specifically in Vegas.

Congrats! And a very cool cover design.

The FBI Director Is MIA Kash Patel has alarmed colleagues with episodes of excessive drinking and unexplained absences.

The FBI responded with a statement, attributed to Patel: “Print it, all false, I’ll see you in court—bring your checkbook.”

Why Should JD Vance Worry? Despite his growing collection of obvious failures on the global stage, he's reveling in his imaginary, near-divine status within the power elite

He fails in Iran negotiations, pimps for loser Orbán, arrogantly tells the pope how to do theology. But JD, surrounded by massive motorcades, Peter Thiel & imaginary invincibility as a near-divine member of the power elite, can’t see his days are numbered. www.americaamerica.news/p/why-should...

He’s out of his goddamn mind and those fools laugh.

whispers: it’s true

CONOR LAMB 2028

I seem to remember there used to be a season when neither your heater nor your air conditioner was on. I miss that.

Trump’s Dark Night on Truth Social Attacking the pope was only part of the president’s disturbing meltdown.

We can't keep looking away from his emotional and cognitive issues. The attack on the Pope was the beginning of a full night of melting down.

Tony Gonzales, a Texas Congressman, Says He Will Resign

“There is a season for everything and God has a plan for us all,” Mr. Gonzales said in a social media post on Monday. “When Congress returns tomorrow, I will file my retirement from office.”

Oh REALLY? And did that plan include Regina Ann Santos-Aviles’s suicide?

Pope Leo: "I have no fear, neither of the Trump administration nor speaking out loudly about the message of the gospel."

The key to democracy is showing up in large numbers

I played it on my radio show last month right after the NPR news. It was quite fun to do.

One of the most brazenly corrupt events in history will take place tomorrow when Jared Kushner represents the U.S. in critical negotiations with Iran to end the war while he accepts millions in fees (and billions in investments) from the Saudi gov’t which has been lobbying Trump to continue the war

The first shipment of this little beauty just arrived, so go ahead and order!

Is it just me, or does that Watters look more and more like a thin, wax-museum Wayne Newton?

Wheeee! I would LOOOOVE it if you swung by!

And if you're ever going through Pennsylvania, I’d love to see you, too!

Any Alaskans: Marian is the real deal and you want to hear her sing.

I have said this constantly: all we had to do was not rip up the treaty. But there was that black guy, of course, and then, too, there could be no grift.

Do these fools ever listen to themselves? I mean, do they have a good laugh after the mics are off? Are they that stupid? Or all of the above?

This is a nitpicky old crone complaint, I’ll grant you that, but one of the aggravations of having political leaders who don’t read history (or read at all) is how they use such freighted historical phrases out of context so casually. See also “never forget.”

I am, and it is, and no, they don't
