This guy will back up everything you already know about J.D. Vance. Thank you, Governor Shapiro - so well stated. Take a listen:

Cue the beginning of "Wipeout" by the Safaris, 1963.

I have whiplash. Just watched a story on my local news tonight about how SNAP recipients in my state had their benefits fully funded yesterday. Now I see this. Does this now mean they have to repay those funds? The games being played with these folks is a disgrace.

So happy for Elon. Now he doesn't have to go on SNAP.

Permanent injunction! Celebration Day!

Can you imagine being an attorney arguing this case for the Administration? Be funny if you could get pics of these lawyers in court with paper bags over their heads, cut out eyes & all, like NFL fans embarrassed by their teams.

Why do I get the feeling Trump's motorcade passed by a Walmart, he saw an advertisement for 25% off on turkey roll & is now taking credit for lowering grocery prices and the cost of Thanksgiving dinner in the U.S.? STOP LYING!

Last night was fun. Thinking ahead to the midterms. Feeling exhausted. Democracy didn't used to be this hard. Did it?

You could go ahead & ask him but what you would get is this, below. It's a Mike Johnson press conference, from beginning to end. It's the whole thing. Watch for a bit & feel free to blink, you won't miss anything. Cricket sounds are a nice touch.

Don't you wish Sam Kinnison was here to finally give Mike Johnson the response he deserves, since the press won't?

Trump. What a clueless & cowardly bastard who can't stand it when he's not the one getting the attention. Saw his schedule for today & thought OF COURSE he's going to Miami. If he had any guts at all, he would try to have lunch in Brooklyn.

Who are these pollsters Trump keeps referring to? I picture a dark, dungeon like room with candles burning, ominous chanting in the background, Stephen Miller in a black robe with the hood pulled up, & Laura "Rasputin" Loomer next to him, staring down at a Ouija board.

Trying to picture a strategy meeting at the White House following last night's election results. Are they sitting around going "Our plan is working!" or are they making a list of people to fire, or what? Does anyone know?

And so WHAT begins? This sound like a threat to anyone else? Coming from the biggest sore loser in the history of time, what can we expect next? He has so many targets to choose from and no effective constraint whatsoever. Wish I could put a dome over Portland right now.

Not from New York, so forgive me. Why the hell is he comparing his vehicle to the O.J. Bronco? Is he proud of this? Something else we don't know about Andrew that maybe we should? I hope that when tonight is over, he drives a lot faster than the O.J. chase. Better to just rip the band-aid off.

Abigail Spanberger. That's one checkmark for the rational column.

Mike Johnson, I hope you know you won't receive a trophy for longest government shutdown in history. Not even a watch or championship ring. Donald Trump will not be inviting you to the White House, either. So reopen the government, swear in the Congresswoman from Arizona and RELEASE THE DAMN FILES!

Something interesting I learned about Stephen Miller from an article in "The Nation" is that teenager Miller affected a gangster look, styled after De Niro's character in "Casino." Explains why this pic looks straight from "The Godfather." Like a cross between Fredo & Tom Hagen.

We all know what he's doing so might as well call him a gaslighter AND inhuman. He can be both at the same time. Thing is, this is NOT me dehumanizing him. I am SERIOUS! He's giving me nightmares, and I kid you not, this is it:

I'm on the west coast so the show hasn't started yet. Just wanted to remind everyone that Trump lies about everything so generally speaking, the opposite is true about everything he says. Which means Seth Meyers is extremely talented, funny, & correct that Trump is obsessed with catapults. Go Seth!

CARTOON OF THE DAY (From @deadder.bsky.social )

Aaron is right, there are serious questions that should be asked in real time to the face of Mike Johnson who is making a joke out of his own taxpayer-supported job. But if all else fails, we could try these two guys:

I love Godzilla 'til I die. When I'm looking at certain people, I pretend I'm him. Tho, they would never know it.

Hope our current political crisis, and crisis in journalism, will spawn a new wave of investigative reporters, the way Watergate did in the 1970s. We need as many as we can get, along with changes to protect & guarantee a free press. If you haven't already, watch this movie. And "follow the money."

Saw this today. Boebert is a paid public servant in Congress, who should represent EVERYONE. She may think this is funny, but no one in our country who isn't hurting anyone, deserves this disrespect. People are living in fear, citizens included. Shame on her racist ass. Vote her out ASAP.

One for victory! Every one counts.

"Huh?" replied a panicked Vance, putting his phone face down on the table, to hide his smitten scrolling of Erika Kirk photos.

Funny how he's heard of SNAP but doesn't know anything whatsoever about anything else happening right under his nose that he's paid to know about. The notable abuse here is him abusing the American taxpayer by taking a salary for a job he's not even doing. Grifter.

I'm exhausted from fact-checking. Sure, we've all made this mistake, but please check what you repost. Leavitt didn't say this. I'll repeat what's been stated: This joke of a press secretary shoots herself in the foot so many times, I'm surprised she's still walking. No need for made-up stuff.

Very good point. I would also like to see an option called "Extortion Politics" (where major media outlets tailor their programming in exchange for mega-deal merger/buyout approvals from the Feds). I would like to vote on that.

Trump could not have picked a better theme for his "Fuck You America" party to show the world his smugness about crowning himself king. The subterfuge is over. False campaign promises, all lies. FYI, Gatsby ends up dead. The Buchanans escape to smash up more stuff. Trump's American dream. Not ours.

At some point, we might have to consider the fact that we've considered him to be mentally unstable for lo' these many years. Might we consider the fact that he needs to go already? To save our country? We elected people to take care of this very thing. Where are they? Republicans? Dems? Somebody?

Tell this fool that the entire world of non-cultist, freedom-loving people are mocking him, minute by minute, and not just on Bluesky. Can you imagine the jokes in Japan right now? He needs to declare all of us illegal, & press charges, so we can all get ACLU lawyers and mock him all the more.

I wonder how many laws were broken on this night.

I'll tell you what horrifies me. Karoline Leavitt. I still think she's an android. Possibly developed at Tesla but discarded as defective.

Know it's not just me, but doesn't Pam seem like the insipient cheerleader at her small-town high school, experiencing her first crush, first sex, & you're contemplating, who is it? - captain of the football team? - only to find out it's the pervy, sleazy married guy in town selling hot tubs on TV?

I'm rooting for Toronto. Kill me if you want to but can't get over this feeling that we owe them one. Not me, or you, but because of the worst ambassador of an asshole President in the history of our nation. We didn't vote for him, but I'm pulling for everyone else in the world he has maligned.

Mike Johnson is the most dangerous example of a passive aggressive personality type I have ever witnessed. Dangerous mostly because of his power & proximity to it, along with his cold-blooded willingness to play stupid for so long.

I hope all the House Republicans fall down on the playground during this recess, scrape their knees, then get bullied by a pack of roving, juvenile, antifa gangmembers. That's us. At least, I would be a proud member of this gang.

Tesla will blame it on operator error then sue the car wash and driver for defamation. Elon's feelings are hurt and he's still wondering, "Why are people so mean to me?"

My big brother talking to me the other day: "You know you're probably on a lot of their lists at this point, Tim?" Me: "I don't give a shit. I want my grandsons to know long after I'm dead that I was on the right side."

MAGA people now finding out that the people they voted for don't give a shit about them. We tried to tell all of you.

We're the "shithole country" now.

Undocumented people aren't eligible for food stamps, yet I guarantee that if you arrived at their door hungry, they would share their food with you.
