[somberly] You cannot serve both god and money [upbeat music hits] Until now. Introducing god as a service

This is John Roberts' America.

There should be a reverse Christmas where a magical man comes to your house and takes away a bunch of junk. But the government won't allow this because it doesn't help the economy

Even if the driver of the white van tried to run them over (which I decline to believe, since it is Gestapo testimony) shooting at a fleeing felon has been unlawful excessive force since Tennessee v. Garner, 471 U.S. 1 (1985)

Sade's "Smooth Operator" may be a bit old (1984) but is it 5.56 billion years old?

Supreme Court, on a 6-3 vote, rejects Trump's effort to deploy National Guard in Illinois for now Justice Kavanaugh attempts to disown ICE's use of brutal, racist and unconstitutional detentions (which everyone now calls a "Kavanaugh Stop") too late chucko open.substack.com/pub/chrisgei...

Apparently now Trump wants add gold spray-painted doodads to an Arleigh Burke class destroyer and call it a "Trump class" battleship. I wish I were kidding. apnews.com/article/trum...

I was happy to say goodbye to vinyl records, card catalogs, film cameras and landline phones. They had their day. Now I say bye-bye to CBS/Paramount. Thanks for Cronkite and Star Trek!

my spinach frittata experiment was Katy-approved and photographed

400% , 500% even 600% of all Americans despise trump

Mad call I it, for to define true madness, What is’t but to be nothing else but mad?

Really interesting research showing that while ultra-specialization in a single discipline might lead to better results early in one’s career, multi-discipline training and practice pays off big time in the long run. This applies to a range of professions from scientists to athletes and more

"Bollards" not only control traffic, they punish it.

As patches set upon a little breach Discredit more in hiding of the fault Than did the fault before it was so patch’d.

Tawdry? Sure. But Paxton has survived attacks which would kill a less wily snake. It may take "a woman scorned" to finally bring him down.

Coincidence? I think not

The oil sanctions on Venezuela were put in place by the Biden/Harris administration In August 2024 when Maduro won the last election, Kamala Harris encouraged the Venezuelan military to "protect the Venezuelan people" (i.e. remove Maduro from power) they declined

Made some Original Joe's Special because I felt like it haven't lived in No. Cal since 1967, but the stuff you eat when you're a little kid stays with you, I guess

What would you all guess is a good over/under on the number of Scaramuccis that Susie Wiles has left in her job? And who is going to take the over?

I'm not sure Gavin Newsome can ever get my vote, but I'll consider it if he can force Orange County to rename "John Wayne Airport" as "Rob Reiner Airport"

i don't care how it happens. i hope it's funny, but more importantly, for the good of the world, i hope it's soon

I think the false connection made here between the GOP mascot and the Hindu god Ganesh needs to be repeated more often to members of Trump's base (the ones who oppose teaching Arabic numerals)

They used to "laugh and call him names." Now they're all dead

Maddow's nomination of Alina Habba for the 2025 edition of "America's Worst Lawyers"

i know it's not connected but i like to think carol sturka is there too just off camera. ABQ extended universe 😂

I don't have 'working class solidarity' with racist working class people 🤷🏼‍♀️ You either get on board with the idea that human rights or for everyone or it becomes easy to dismiss yours like you do those of other people. Golden rule and all.

We all know Clarke's "sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic" Well we have corollary:

Hence, old goat!

“All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside.” There’s only one way to interpret the 14th Amendment: exactly how it's written. Birthright citizenship isn’t up for debate.

This single point confirms that the "legal" argument about the President's power to remove independent commissioners is strictly class warfare not remotely connected to any consistent doctrine or theory it is merely a naked assertion of power to protect the kleptocracy from the rabble

A ristra makes even a package delivery photo looks festive!

I have some doubts about this meme. Wouldn't a Catholic church respond positively to this woman's request for help? Perhaps they referred her to the diocese and that doesn't count? Otherwise very plausible, and one of the reasons I don't participate anymore

You've heard of elf on a shelf. Now get ready for... 🔭🐡🧪

I'm glad Mr. Elias thinks so. The special election in Tennessee's 7th district also revealed how loading a red district with blue Nashville Democrats can backfire. Aftyn Behn came close to flipping a 22+ Trump district Texas' extreme gerrymander leaves them vulnerable to a blue wave

Almost twice as many people (138M) have seen Sabrina Carpenter's cease and desist than voted for Trump in 2024 (77M)

Blathering about international law is pointless. This is cruel and unusual, a well established ground for civil rights lawsuits against the FOR PROFIT PRIVATE COMPANY that did this. Support Amnesty, ACLU or other orgs that sue. www.amnesty.org/en/latest/ne...

Murder most foul, as in the best it is

And every year need to start popping those Vitamin Ds

Trump has a long way to go before he can top Obama's 3,797 drone strikes outside of active war zones. Some of Obama's victims were children under 5. But Trump has demonstrated how you can take *popular* crimes against humanity and make them *unpopular*.

"Republicans will never allow articles of impeachment to be brought to the floor of the House of Representatives, and we know that's the case." This is a flat-out 100% lie from @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social and he knows it. Impeachment resolutions are privileged, they can force a vote at any time.

Big Oil is "wildly desperate to dodge the growing array of lawsuits over the damage caused by their decades-long scheme to deceive the public about climate change," writes @aaronregunberg.bsky.social. The fossil fuel industry is again urging the Supreme Court to help them escape accountability.
