“Who was president in 2020?” remains one of the most pertinent questions in American politics—absurd, yes, but here we are—and that extends to “who was president January 1 - 19, 2021?”

That’s a nice trick, since Biden wasn’t the president on Jan 6.

I've talked before about Al Capp's "Li'L Abner" & the kinda-shocking speed at which what had once been a decades-old juggernaut IP just... EVAPORATED from the American consciousness.

But that's not a unique story. To wit: The story of "Barney Google & Snuffy Smith." www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQi5...

Little man Johnson does not need ONE democratic vote to pass a standalone bill to pay our military.

These are disgusting, despicable, human beings.

It’s the Feds making Portland look like a war zone— not the protesters.

And honestly, these protesters are brilliant. They’re flipping the whole authoritarian cosplay on its ass!

Is it just me, or does it seem the press is actually and completely terrified to report about Donald Trump's physical and mental health the way it would have if anyone else were president?

It's as if they only got elected based on grievance and have no idea how to govern.

The cost of homeowners and auto insurance in FL is insane, but Republicans are always laser focused on the important distractions from all that stuff.
