Because #TheDustballs get to lick the gravy from their wet food off the spoon, I've gotten very familiar with telling the difference between Nadja's licks (quick & short) & Evie's licks (longer & slower)...

Embarrassing that 30% of my neighbors voted for Temu the Dude that doesn’t even live here.
You are not serious people.

Body cams apparently show Border Patrol agents joking about tossing tear gas at a nonviolent protest, with one agent saying "Hey, throw it [tear gas] for fun."

Agents then tried to drive away, but there was apparently so much tear gas they were overcome, couldn't drive, and had to leave on foot.

A Border Patrol agent was caught on video telling another to throw tear gas “for fun,” according to a court filing. They also mocked protesters and residents who were getting gassed.

the democratic base deserves politicians who actually like them, share their priorities, and appreciate their way of live. enough of these aristocratic assholes who act like we should be so grateful for them to even pretend to give half a fuck about us

It’s not framed this way, but what they’re demanding is that people in cities like NYC refuse to address their issues to privilege the politics of “flipping red and purple seats blue,” which they haven’t even demonstrated an ability to do.

Imagine falling for this shit. The money is all there and if you think he'll actually fund SNAP, you're crazy. Dems, he's giving you a layup on messaging here. Trump says he HAS the money but is withholding it from American citizens because of politics. These are YOUR CONSTITUENTS.

Trump confirms he is weaponizing hunger
SNAP BENEFITS, which increased by Billions and Billions of Dollars (MANY FOLD!) during Crooked Joe Biden’s disastrous term in office (Due to the fact that they were haphazardly “handed” to anyone for the asking, as opposed to just those in need, which is the purpose of SNAP!), will be given only when the Radical Left Democrats open up government, which they can easily do, and not before! Thank you for your attention to this matter. President DJT

Nadja usually does not tolerate anything upon her floofy noggin but apparently this catnip pretzel toy is acceptable headgear... #theDustballs #catsky #rescuecat

My latest is about the latest revelations on the failed prosecution of Donald Trump, and why you should blame Merrick Garland more than the Supreme Court.

Tonight is our horror film-themed house party, so remember, “Bad luck to kill a seabird” 🌊⚓️🛟
A woman and her husband dressed like the keepers in A24’s ‘The Lighthouse’ wearing wool pea coats, black slacks, and vests with brass buttons as well as black bell top hats with a lighthouse insignia. The woman wears a ridiculous fake mustache and carries a plush seagull. The man has a corncob pipe in his mouth and carries a tin can emblazoned with the word ‘beans’.
