The triumph of oligarchy?

If you can rid humanity of fear, anger, mental illness, stupidity, greed and all forms of temporary impairment, then everyone can have a gun.

WOW! THANK YOU!! — GCN

Oligarchs like Musk would be motivated to dismantle the EU because it’s easier to bully the individual countries than the whole union.

It’s that time of year!

Build a bridge. youtu.be/TmyjzvQv5bA?...

There are less station wagons on the road because they evolved into SUV’s.

If I had a place where people from all over the world wanted to bring their stuff, ideas and stories, I’d be so stoked. It’d be super-interesting and fun. It’s bizarre to me that this regime sees no value in that and actually frames it as a threat.

A government that floods a community with weapons and then inflames the population is inept and unqualified to lead.

Remember how when Biden addressed the nation about tragedies and he was profoundly human and the press would refer to him as “the consoler in chief”? Where’s the press’ commentary on this sociopathic mess?

ICE DETAINED MARILYN. Fuck these people. www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news...

I managed to finish a book I’d borrowed using Libby with only 6 minutes left on the loan. The race to finish the book was much more exciting than the book itself. Go figure.

Because Stephen Miller is shrieking in his ear: YOU'RE THE COMMANDER! YOU'RE THE COMMANDER!

The rot is coming from the top.

Can Portland sue Fox News for defamation and damages?

Potatoes and chicken?

The Boulevardier (cocktail) should be much more popular.

The most helpful phrase of 2025 👇

What crazy shit are they going to do Thursday to change the subject?

Fox News doesn’t have an exit strategy for this.

Can we please take war powers out of the hands of a single demented idiot and put it back in the hands of a bunch of morons where it belongs?

Oh, so he totally stole the money

Citizen: Tell you what… I’ll give you $10. What does that get me? Insurer: 2 Scratch-It Tix.

The President wouldn't last five minutes as an air traffic controller, and after everything they've been through - and the way this administration has treated them from Day One - he has no business shitting on them now.

The new gibberish version of the decades-long Republican mission to break the ACA just dropped.

Robots in houses will trip on things (cats, toys, etc.) and hurt people, ending their market viability.

RIP the ShakeDry cycling jacket. Definitely a game changer for riding in wet weather. www.cyclingnews.com/news/gorewea...

The Republicans can rid themselves of an albatross.

I wonder if anyone on the right will learn what a democratic socialist actually believes. Hint: it’s not communism.

Did anyone receive their MedBed yet?

I finally figured out what Trump means when he talks about “the weave”. He babbles for as long as he can and the editors weave something coherent from the mess of spew.

Imagine if Fox News was a real news org and was reporting on this.

Major Clocksterfuck at the Blazers game.

It looks like the rain gods of Portland have rewarded me with a large bowl of candy.

Hungry? Check out my fancy bathroom!

I really think that we need to talk more about the fact that Republicans have basically quietly abolished the House of Representatives

We knew this as soon as Johnson was installed. He was nobody. A nothing nebishy guy that no one had heard of. The only reason to choose him was the obvious ease of control.

Last I checked, it takes a really long time to build a palace.

The only question for Mike Johnson should be "why did you dissolve Congress?" And when he predictably lies or changes the subject, repeatedly follow up with variations of "so why aren't you doing your job?" The Speaker's opinions on anything else matter little if Congress is artificially on leave.

I'm not sure there has ever been a criminal enterprise as vast as the current administration.

Honestly, you can’t make this shit up.

Merkley: "What we've seen is that democracies no longer die bc men w/guns go in and take it over. Instead, it's electeds who erode the separation of power. If you have a rubber-stamp Congress & courts that deliver more power to the executive, suddenly you have an authoritarian state. It's here now."

Complete destruction of the east wing was obviously in progress when they started with a huge backhoe.

Senator Merkley has been holding the floor all night warning of the destruction of our democracy and it’s barely being covered, even in local media in Oregon.

the president has destroyed the east wing of the white house without so much as a word of input from anyone else to build a royal ballroom paid for with bribes

Mike Johnson is basically Sméagol after he first found the ring. The power is his Precious.
