I was 86ed from Ben Frank's once. Why weren't they tried for killing me?

I talk very briefly about the thing that happened last night. I decided to use video rather than text because I'm hoping this way there's nothing monitoring my words.

Can't wait to see the pictures of Trump falling asleep in the middle of his shooting.

Nobody has been clamoring for this reboot of The Gang that Couldn't Shoot Straight.

They promise but they never deliver.

Now, he can tell us again how he's Doctor Jesus.

My reaction to the fact that there was a shooter at the White House Correspondents Dinner was that finally, the press was doing its job.

I am finding it hard to wrap my fish in yesterday's discarded online news notifications.

MAGA prefers Quentin Tarantino to the Pope. (I probably do as well, but I don't pretend otherwise.)

If life were Star Trek, Captain Kirk would trick Trump into 25th amendmenting himself.

Is this just another installment of Idiot with Dementia Theater or is something awful, like a nuclear attack, in the works?

I honestly don't think April Fool's fictions are funny in today's environment, where knowing what is true is harder and more important than ever. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

IT’S NO KINGS DAY! Show up. Speak out. Share photos of your signs and rallies across the country. Stay safe. Stand strong. March for our democracy.

Leaving shortly for the #NoKingsDay shindig.

If I can't make a deal with my cleaning lady, I'm going to bring in ICE to clean my bathroom.

Maybe they'll give him the Nobel War Prize.

The cover-up just never ends. Rest in peace, Ruben Ray Martinez.

Kinda weird that the party that controls the House, the Senate, and the White House claims there's rampant voter fraud.

BREAKING: The House passed the so-called SAVE America Act which threatens to upend our freedom to vote. The bill could disenfranchise millions of eligible voters by requiring documents like passports or birth certificates to register to vote and forcing voter roll purges. The Senate must reject it.

NEW: A page from Bondi's burn book. This is a list of the searches by Rep Jayapal of the unredacted Epstein files. That means the DOJ grabbed her search terms from the computers they set up for members of congress to view the Epstein files to use as ammunition. The photo is from Reuters.

That which does not make you stronger, kills you.

Here is my conclusion after sitting through Maxwell's deposition with her refusing to answer a single question about the men who raped underage girls, saying she would only do so for clemency. She must immediately be sent back to the maximum security prison where she belongs.

This is the biggest night of the year for people who love brain injuries.

My name appears 6 times in the Goldstein files.

Penn Station is pretty crappy, so maybe we SHOULD name it after Trump.

Hitler couldn't get into art school. Trump couldn't get the Nobel

January 6th Is Still Happening In Real Time

I think we should let Trump run Venezuela INSTEAD of the United States.

Cancer research costs too much but we have the money to run Venezuela

If we can capture another country's president, can another country come and capture ours? Asking for a friend.

Kiwi is very religious, so I let him light the candles tonight. #chanukah

This, by me, appeared in HuffPost 12 years ago. I sent a copy to Van Dyke & his wife but they didn't respond. Maybe they thought it snarky (I thought silly). Carl Reiner responded, though. He thanked me. The Rob of another alternate universe www.huffpost.com/entry/dick-v... #dickvandyke

Trump wages war against tamales and Somalis. I wonder if he thinks they're the same thing.

I keep hearing news commentators criticizing Trump for lawlessly blowing up boats. But they're saying it wrong. He's blowing up PEOPLE.

They keep saying Trump shouldn't have Mohammed bin Salman in the Oval Office because he killed Khashoggi. But wait a minute, hasn't Trump killed like 70 people lately in those fishing boats? MbS should be shunning HIM.

Trump's not done resisting the release of the files. He's hoping to stop them in the Senate. He may still blather something or other about something or other as he vetoes the bill, should it pass the Senate. /1

Priorities.

The only crime in America is mortgage fraud and nobody's actually doing it.

Then why’d you cave?

There’s still time to call senators. Let me explain. Sorry not sorry about the cat. He’s also really upset about this deal.

Make no mistake, there is no chance that the House will vote down the Senate bill. The fate of the ACA subsidies lies with the upcoming final Senate vote and is thus in the hands of Democratic senators. We need a few weasels to de-wease.

And yet...

“This was a very very bad vote”

I'd like for someone in the dem caucus to tell us which senators were real no votes and which ones voted no because they were allowed to.

Never forget who sold us out: Hassan King Cortez-Masto Shaheen Kaine Fetterman Durbin Rosen

It's clear that the Democrats are acting cowardly in facilitating this deal. But what are they getting out of it? What are the expected rewards for this cowardice? What's the benefit to any of them?

For those who are saying the Senate deal is only through January. By the end of January, people will have already begun suffering the effects of massively increased healthcare costs. If there's another shutdown, the increased costs will continue throughout. /1

These Democratic senators are morons. The Republicans had no strategy to get out of this. If the shutdown continued, people would more clearly see what evil, destructive bastards the Republicans are. We, the Democrats, have saved them from that. They'll now look like master tacticians. /1
