JD had to grow a neck beard to look less naive. Underneath his hasty mealfilter, he looks like the kind of guy who would have to pay for sex tbh. Really gross individual. And that's just my commentary on his looks ..
I looked up whether botulism has a smell. It does not. It is like many dangerous things, odorless, colorless and tasteless.) Ya can’t say that about the GOP! They are Dangerous, they stink and they leave a dreadful taste in your mouth when you speak of them!
True, but the thing botulism and Republicans have most in common is this: They both thrive only in oxygen-free environments. That, and they both can cause lethal paralysis.
Gotta say, DR, you have a way of making me laugh out loud even with the apocalypse hanging overhead. Ringing through my ears is the bilingual chant from the old days: The women united will never be defeated / Las mujeres unidas jamás serán vencidas. They poked the wrong hornets' nest. We got this, guys. Aux barricades!
The metaphorical Pepto-Bismol to America's Fascist Party bowel obstruction are the American voters. They will have to choose. It is a binary, very simple.
2016 moderates and progressives didn't vote for Hillary because they didn't like her, great look what they got / enabled.
2024, you think Biden's too old, look what the alternative is.
Deal with the reality at hand. As does Biden. Lean into his age, make it a non issue.
Vance is the worst, because he knows better. The rubes don't, Vance does. That is the greater sin and the evangelicals are the worst as well as they to know better, complicit.
It truly has been an ugly 72 hours. And that's with out seeing the "spawn of don" spewing lies on TV.
Lastly, spicy Thai coconut soup is the key, it truly is life changing.
Legitimate comment about Trump-Vance remains appropriate. Re-runs of Vance’s ‘Never Trump’ comments are appropriate as comment on TFG’s policies and Project 2025. Don’t ’obey in advance’ R’s attempt to stifle debate and glorify TFG; he is a victim of his own rhetoric.
Where are the alarm bells? We are in apocalyptic danger. The mass majority of Americans are taking care of their families, worrying about the daily struggles of their personal lives, and making sure their children are getting what they need. As the average German citizen did when their country was very slowly and unrecognizably at first, and then unstoppably bursting into fascism, Americans are operating in what they think is a normal world. It is not normal. If we do not wake up, the youth of today, as well as all of us, will be trapped in an unrecognizable nightmare of living in a fascist country—a country in which we will lose most of our freedoms to chose how we live, what we can say, what we can learn, who we can love, what our children can learn, where we can travel, and so on. And our fascist leader will be a corrupt, mentally ill, unprincipled, narcissistic, immoral, and uncaring man.
The mass majority of citizens have no idea what terrors lie ahead for themselves, their children, their families, and their friends.
Leaving aside Biden's communication problems, what is the plan to counter the constant body blows to the rule of law and provide a bulwark against the further erosion of a functioning government and civil rights?
Will Biden and Democratic leadership finally support killing the filibuster and SCOTUS reforms? All the other issues on Biden's agenda are fine, but it's a "both and" moment for real leadership.
::exhales deeply::: yeah I’ve been wanting to smoke the months-old emergency cigarette that I put in a zip lock snack bag when I quit in January. I won’t do it. But I haven’t thought about it this often in a while. Stress is a sneaky corrupter. It helps to watch funny clips and generally commiserating.
Reread THE RETURN OF THE KING and get back to work. Said Gandalf the Grey: "We must walk open-eyed into that trap, with courage, but small hope for ourselves. For, my lords, it may well prove that we ourselves shall perish utterly in a black battle far from the living lands; so that even if Barad-dûr be thrown down, we shall not live to see a new age. But this, I deem, is our duty. And better so than to perish nonetheless – as we surely shall, if we sit here – and know as we die that no new age shall be." And said Aragorn in reply: "We come now to the very brink, where hope and despair are akin. To waver is to fall." Spoiler alert: They won. So will we.

🙀🤮😳
Trumpo couldn't find God in heaven! Of course, he will never get the opportunity!

I object to the notion that Viktor Ohrban can be compared to a Poodle. It is an insult to Poodles worldwide.
Hell ya. We are drinkers sniffers and whatever now. Lawd……

I know an excellent Industrial Designer for your Need to Know Smarmy-o-Meter.
Thanks. I’ll let you know when we’re ready to begin the production phase.

How do we wake them up before it’s too late?

The situation is unsustainable...
So very true! Thanks for spelling it out concisely.

I feel like I should abandon all hope, seriously. But I do deeply appreciate the trenchant humor, to leaven the horror.

Oh! That is so good. Thank you for reminding us; we needed that, so much.
Me too. I just ended my new Substack post with it. It makes me cry -- usually a good sign!
