I have no good feelings for Mitch McConnell. At all. On any level. That being said, when he froze up and then regained a bit of lucidity, his assistant asked reporters, “Any more questions?” 1) That’s incredibly callous, bordering on eldercare abuse and 2) How was the very next question not, “Are you going to call an ambulance, you fucking monster?”

McConnell not doing something while he is clearly declining really represents America at the moment.
We do love our children so, part 6,291.
The United States’ answer to “why can’t we?”
Too few of us seem to care the entire GOP is a bunch of grifting hypocrites. But I do. And I hope you do, too.
Re: SVB. All I know is they better not bail out those damn kids getting educations.
New GOP plan for retirement: keep working.
House Majority Leader Steve Scalise, R-La., told NBC News one day after Biden’s speech to Congress “We want to strengthen Social Security by ending a lot of those government checks to people staying at home rather than going to work.”
My brain hurts.
Meta reinstated former President Donald Trump’s social accounts on Wednesday following a two-year suspension over his role in praising the rioters who stormed the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021.
Meta President of Global Affairs Nick Clegg wrote in a blog post that the former president will face “heightened penalties” if he continues to break the social media giant’s content rules.
Now that this is becoming a regular occurrence, I wonder if I have any classified documents in my home!
A lawyer for Pence, a potential 2024 presidential candidate, found the documents during a search of the former vice president’s Carmel, Ind., home, according to letters to the National Archives. Gregory F. Jacob, a designated representative for Pence’s vice presidential records, said the FBI collected documents from the Pence home on Jan. 19.
More power to them!
I’m starting to come around to loving this guy.
The latest revelation about Santos’s seemingly never-ending list of lies that was reported by Politico on Friday centered around an old Wikipedia user biography that appears to belong to him and that claims he appeared in the Disney channel show Hannah Montana alongside Miley Cyrus.
I know, I know. I complain on this blog (likely to a void… hello, no one!), but I try to get it out of my system so I don’t explode.
Anyway, in Edition 53,721 of Our Media Will Be Our Downfall is this article about how the new White House person is ineffective.
The more I think about it, the more rage-filled I become. I never, ever read anything like this when Angry Potato, Meal Interrupted, Blonde Mouth were doing the job. Never.
It’s clear now the right isn’t interested in causing problems which only it can solve with its own take on the situation, it’s purely going cause problems and have the solution be them literally stopping themselves from causing the problems. It’s like protection money but for the whole country. When this scaled up, when does the rest of the world just decide to have nothing to do with the United States?
The American Taliban are still here.
Wait wait wait. You can arrest people who attack the capital the day it happens?! That’s unpossible!
Kevin 15 it is then.
If McCarthy does end up as speaker, he really needs to be called Kevin “(number of times it took to vote him in)” Tries. So, you know, Kevin Thirty Tries. The only exception should be if the number ends in a seven in which case he would Kevin Forty-Seven.
GOP will get behind Trump indictment just so they don’t have to consider him anymore.
I told friends and neighbors there’d be no red wave and while I’m glad that was indeed the case, I am still so bummed out for Stacey Abrams. She’s the real deal and would have been a great help to Georgia. And I’m not even religious but I can’t help but be offended that GA voters made the Warnock/Walker race so close that it has to resort to a run off. Religious folks picked Walker over a man who has dedicated his adult life to the church? That’s really something.
Also, I’m very proud of my daughter for voting and I am glad to see young folks using their right to vote.
Our media will be our downfall. In case that link goes away, here’s a screenshot
Nine rings were gifted to the Race of Men, who above all else desire power.
If the Dems put as much effort into getting things done (hell, even trying) as they do asking me for money, we might not be in such dire straights.
I’m still getting emails from James Carville! WTF, Dems?
This feel like a 70% appropriate punishment for punching out the teeth of a flight attendant. I would have added in: You no longer get to fly in the United States. And, before the 3-year probation begins, you have to pass a college-level biology class with a perfect grade.
I think it’s high time we remove United from the name of our country. We’re so far from united at this point the name just looks silly.
Suggested name: Disparate States of North America. Motto: But we all hate Ted Cruz, so we have that going for us.
My son turned on C-Span and watched UN ambassadors plea for peace. While he was watching, a graphic appeared on TV stating Russia had begun the attack. One can’t help but wonder if World War III is starting. And I’m not sure which side half of our country is on.
America is a cruel, cruel country.
The proposed MCPS policy says families that do not qualify for federal free and reduced-price meal programs but have a lunch debt of more than $35 would get “alternative meals” — usually a sandwich rather than a hot meal — until the debt is paid.
But we do love our children so.
🍔👩🏾🦱🖕 USDA announces free lunch for all of next school year (2021-2022). Yay! Wait a minute… We could have done this all along but chose not to? Death cult is gonna death cult. #politics
I said to my wife tonight, “The only woman I’d leave you for is Jen Psaki.” And she said, “Yeah, that’s fine.” I married, and would leave, the right woman.
👴🗒📰 I watched President Biden’s press conference today and I have never been more embarrassed watching our national press than I was today.
Our national press writes about whatever the GOP wants to make the main issue of the day. What a joke.
