"A mysterious bronze-colored monument has appeared across the street from the U.S. Capitol grounds “honoring” the Jan. 6 insurrection with a massive turd."

OH. MAH. GAWD. Next thing you know, Eric T will show up, try to hug it, and cry, "Dad?"

I’m guessing ‘vigorous spanking’ is the new term for beating your children. I couldn’t finish Tucker’s clip. It made me nauseous.

'Cause spanking the boys doesn't give him the same chubby.

"Geraldo is on our side now. Kinda like a fish you wanna throw back, ain’t he?"

Look, you go to war with the allies you have, not the allies you wish you had.

I am simply the worst phone caller in the universe. I hate doing it. Hate getting the calls. But I do it. Because—all hands on deck. So. If we all put in a shift today maybe we can change a few minds and get a few more votes banked?

Tucker Carlson even sicker than I had imagined. What he said about Trump kinda confirmed what I’ve long suspected about MAGA: their relationships with their fathers were scary and authoritarian, and worshipping Trump is a subconscious way of rewriting their childhood.

Yes, Tucker is a shit ass sick MF. and I'll say this too:

He's an enemy from within,we allow him to be, and normalize him and his sick Cadre by giving them the slightest bit of attention, other than negative. That and yes, investigative. We should be denying every last bit of air, print, and other media they suck up.

Ron DeSantis tried to deny freedom of the press and speech for political reasons. He got little attention or censure for it.

I keep begging Joe Biden to use his last bit of unconditional presidential immunity to order Republicans to shut their fat nasty mouths with their threat making and treason talk.

That shit is not covered by no 1st Amendment.

Stifle 'em.

I've subscribed to the LA Times since I got here 44 years ago. Even as it became "the neighborhood advertiser formerly known as the L:A Times."

Until last night. And now nevermore.

I see that Mitch McConnell, in his new book, blames Rick (the ostrich) Scott for hyping that non-existent red wave. But Mitch is also trying to foist all of his faults and hypocrisy onto others in that book.

*The GOP’s Racism Broke AI*

It’s a sad statement on the modern GOP: the party’s racism is so deeply entrenched, so endlessly sprawling, that even artificial intelligence buckles under the task of cataloging it all.

Make America Hate Again

This wasn’t an accident. It was the point. It’s what MAGA was built on—a message to the white, the bitter, and the fearful that their ginned up anger is a rallying cry, a political stance, and a weapon. It's a promise that America belongs to them and no one else. It’s why Trump’s rallies don’t even try to reach beyond his hardcore base; the idea that America belongs to everyone goes against the grain of his entire campaign.
