I feel like I should be invested in this game, and even low key kind of am, because I'm from Detroit.

But I'm still just not much of a baseball fan.

This is an admission that you didn't vote for the Democrats in 2024, so thank you for all of this.

They like Donald Trump and support him, all protestations to the contrary notwithstanding.

I'd feel pretty good about an incredibly stupid take, too, if I were stupid enough to have fucking made it in the first place.

Notably, "lock the President in a dungeon" is very much not in the purview of job description of anyone in Congress.

Though of course that's maybe the least of the problems here.

Some of these people think the only possible way to win is to commit mass murder, and these people are fucking psychotic.

That sound you hear is plaintiff lawyers popping champagne corks and DOJ lawyers groaning.

Q: How many layoffs have you authorized?

TRUMP: It'll be a lot. And it'll be Democrat-oriented.

The Republican Party is full of Nazis.

There is no equivocating here.

They are Nazis.

Any Republican who condones or doesn't use every power they have at their disposal to condemn and end this is a Nazi.

Every.

Single.

Fucking.

One.

During a military-style raid on a building in Chicago’s South Shore, one resident heard a knock on his door.   It wasn’t the feds — it was a mom and her 7-year-old daughter, pleading for help.

He let them hide in his unit for the next 3 days.

Little did I know that saying good morning to the Starbucks barista meant we were more than platonic barely-even-acquaintances.

Correction:

"I didn't listen to my husband who told me not to do what I went and did specifically so that I didn't hurt myself, and now I am suffering the consequences."

I'm fucking tired of being called a babykilling psychopath who can't be queer due to my military service by people who support a fucking Blackwater mercenary.

But also that.

Pretty sure it started with furries. It's also used a lot now with e-girls.

It's the internet equivalent of cutesy babytalk (and I say this with no judgment in any direction).

I understand that you think you're clever, and were I you I would be very mad at whoever convincingly lied to you to make you believe that.

They turned off replies AND QTs, fucking cowards.

This little cowardly pissant is still whining about getting hit with a milkshake once as if it was his own personal Vietnam.

I don't fucking care what you think the politics of servicemembers are: you need to now HAMMER HOME that Democrats tried to pay the military and Republicans said fuck them kids.

A few minutes ago in the House:

- Speaker Mike Johnson officially cancels votes next week, extending the House recess through a fourth week

- House Republicans block Democrats from passing a bill to pay the troops during the shutdown, ensuring they will miss paychecks next week

House Press Gallery: During today's pro forma session, the Clerk read a message from the Speaker designating Tuesday, October 14 through Sunday, October 19 as a district work period.

Punchbowl's Briana Reilly: House gaveled in and out of its pro forma just now w/o recognizing Rep Elfreth, who was seeking to UC a mil pay bill from Rep Sykes.

Elfreth told reporters after that House Dems stand “ready and willing to take” up standalone legislation to pay troops.

I love America, and it is that love of the nation that most fuels my hatred for Mike Johnson and Donald Trump.

Mike Johnson: "We're so angry about it. I mean, I'm a very patient guy, but I've had it with these people. The theory we have right now -- they have a hate America rally that's scheduled for October 18 on the National Mall. It's the pro-Hamas wing and antifa people ... "
