He names all the reindeer, acknowledging that we know them all, and then asks if we recall the most famous one of all. Well, if it really was the most famous, why did he need to remind us?

I'm glad the guy who threw the sandwich at the ICE idiot was found not guilty. If guilty, he'd be toast. He wouldn't have the bread to pay the fine. Lettuce be glad; that ICE officer was an in-bread sub-human. We're on a roll.

It's clear now that Cheney's death was the harbinger of the Blue Wave #Cheney #Bluewave

Conservatives are screaming that Mamdani's election means that NY has "forgotten about 9/11!" No, New Yorkers remember 9/11 well, when Muslim firefighters, police, and volunteers worked together after that terrible attack, and mourned Muslim victims as well. #Mamdani

The idea that a small group of billionaires is secretly running the county is ridiculous. They're not secret at all.

"Hi, we're the Republican party! We're led by a rapist with 34 felonies who is suffering from dementia, and if you vote for us, we promise to cut every government program that helps you and will work to hurt everyone who is not a straight, white male! So, can we count on your vote in November?"

I remember conservatives saying if we legalized gay marriage, that soon the country would be without a moral compass, with evil set loose to run things. Turns out they were right!

Heidi asked what I thought of the K-Pop band on TV but I told her I wasn't into Seoul music

Reports about Biden being old seem so quaint next to the unhinged insane paranoid tweets that dementia-riddled Trump is producing these days

You know, since he is against trans rights, we should insist on calling him his dead name #PopeBob #NewPope

Pope Leo, huh? I wish he had kept his original name and just became Pope Bob the first #NewPope #PopeBob

How is Trump supposed to attend the G7 meeting in Canada next month? They don't allow felons across the border

I'm glad Trump placed tariffs on Heard Island and McDonald Islands, places with no humans and no economy! Those damn penguins have taken advantage of us for far too long!

Hey, all my conservative friends who said it was just about illegal immigrants: I'm anxiously awaiting your condemnation of the Trump administration deporting immigrants with green cards and visas who have obeyed every immigration requirement. Hello? Anyone there?

"Hi, I'm Chuck Schumer, the Senate Minority Leader. You can tell I'm the leader, because I got nine (out of 45) other Senators to agree with me."

I see that some Republican legislatures are trying to pass laws that would prevent doctors from giving vaccines. Next on the agenda: Imprisoning anyone who claims that the earth revolves around sun.

OK so how do I find a list of my followers so I can follow some of them back?

Me: Heidi, you have to stop using the F word in our home. Heidi: You mean 'fish'? Cats (appearing out of nowhere): MROW MROW MROW MROW

I'm so old I remember when conservatives considered Russia the enemy

The President doesn't have the power to decide spending or set tariffs. That power is specifically given to the Congress under our Constitution. Unless Congress lets the President get away with it and doesn't do its job to hold the President back from being a dictator.

To my Canadian friends: Do not for an instant think that Trump represents the majority of the American people. He won 49% of those who voted (and a large percentage never did); he has never won a majority of votes; he has never even reached a 50% approval rating the entire time he's been President.

"DEI" is just code for people who would much rather be using the "n" word

Trump pardons Punxsutawny Phil who predicts only 6 more weeks of Democracy

I used to think that there was a cabal of evil billionaires secretly running the world but now I realize that's ridiculous. They're not secret at all

When a President takes office, there is a "honeymoon period" where the polls are favorable and everyone is looking forward to the new person in the White House. Donald Trump is only the second President to enter office with negative poll numbers. The first was (checks notes) Donald Trump.

At the New Hope Art show with Heidi

There are two movies coming out on Christmas: Nosferatu and a Bob Dylan bio. They're both very different: One is about an immortal figure who existed long after he normally would have rolled over and died, and the other is about Dracula! (Thanks to Adam-Troy Castro for this joke, which I rephrased)

Too bad this Luigi guy didn't murder a kid buying skittles or travel to another place to murder a protestor. Then the conservatives would be treating him as a hero

A great and free gift you can give your writer friends is a review on Amazon and/or Goodreads

Republicans constantly run on a platform of "Government is inefficient and unable to solve our problems" and then they get elected and appoint incompetent people to run the government, which allows them to say "See? Told you."

I see people are complaining that they cast a non-white actress to play a Viking in the live action version of "How to Train Your Dragon." Because, you know, if there's one thing a movie about people riding dragons has to be, it's historically accurate.

OK I see that some people replied to a post here, but I don't know how to read the reply. If I click on the word balloon, it just offers me the opportunity to reply. How do I see what others said?

The PA GOP candidate says that a recount is a waste of money and that ballots that were not dated properly should be disqualified. Two years ago, this same GOP candidate demanded a recount when he lost, and argued that ballots that were not dated properly should count. #PASenate #SenatorCasey

Founding Fathers: So if a President commits high crimes and misdemeanors, he should be impeached and removed from office. Republicans: Got it. If a President commits high crimes and misdemeanors, he should not be impeached and should be elected to a second term. Founding Fathers: what
