Trump thinks No Kings protestors are the enemy?? He clearly hasn't watched footage and interviews with farmers who are currently getting the shaft from this administration.

"Hah! I have it - neener neener neener -"
"No, you don't! And now I'm going to get you -"
"No, *I'm* going to get you-"
"No, I'M going to get - wait! Wait for it.. She's been somer-assaulted, by a brown butt!"

Wow. That's pretty deep, coming from Lee. *eyeroll*

Terrible, terrifying, and heartbreaking. Shame on Lisa Murkowski for not sounding the alarm. Don't care if the government is shut down; those Alaskans deserve better.

Does my Schadenfreude make me look fat?

I wouldn't put it past the administration to announce that Maxwell now has a diagnosis of *winkwink* early stage Alzheimer's.

That's still a great flick. I love Delbert.

Instead of wringing hands and gnashing teeth at Miller and Trump tossing the Constitution, put that energy to proactive use: get Voters Registered, research who advertises on Fox and boycott them. Volunteer for a midterm campaign that's going to be close.

The cops will walk? Fine. I have a hard time believing they'll do it. If they do, there are a thousand more who'd be delighted to take their jobs.

You're darn right that most MAGAs don't know what antifa means. I've just moved from the Land o' MAGA Stoopid, and most of them think antifa is a libtard criminal organization that bombs ICE agents and promotes criminal activity. I couldn't wait to get out of DumbDumberDumbererVille.

Agreed 100%! Tomei totally deserved her Oscar and Leto did not. I've never thought he was great, definitely not a contender for an Oscar, and clearly ungrateful for any recognition of his talent. If I were a director, I'd rather shoot myself in the foot than cast him in a film of mine.

Genius with pangram. I'm feeling all superior.

Patience rewarded: after many hours in a hide, the night's silence gave way to the quiet presence of a leopard at the water's edge.

Go, California! If I could fly out and direct traffic to polling locations, I would. I would also collect ballots and mail them for you.
Vote 🔵, vote loud... just vote.
Love, Tennessee

I'm not okay with anything Applebee's. And these sloth oven mitts? Don't make the animal any more appealing and certainly won't add much Atmos or character to my kitchen. Bravo on a new depth of low-quality. 👏👏👏👏👏👏

Kid Rock is a jackass extraordinaire. I get the questionable joy of seeing him from time to time in Nashville. It's like watching a bunch of hefty, fiftysomething NASCAR Nasties swarm a fawning, pseudo-modest drugstore cowboy. Ack.

Impeachable decision. Absolutely unacceptable. Shout "25th" with me.

Jeezy creezy Lou-weezy Christmas cheese and crackers... another country's air force with their own base on U.S. soil? That is NOT SOP for America. Someone shout "25th" now. This is impeachment material.

Oh, goodie. Don't need Loomer's vote. Good riddance to a hypocrite who did absolutely nothing for this administration except spew vitriol and nastiness.
