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.

Did Noem-ma'am direct that agent to kill the dog? I would be. Beside. Myself. Hope the family lawyers up, sics a PI on the ICE goom squad to find out who killed their pet, and sues the pants off him, Noem, and ICE. Absolutely unacceptable. 😡😡😡

@newyorkstateag.bsky.social has been a hero of mine since she first wiped the floor with Trump. She'll win this round as well. Wish she was my AG. 🤩👏

Met my husband on the @stephenking.bsky.social erstwhile message board. (True!) Promptly ceased sacrificing chickens on Sundays. (Okay, not true, but it's hilarious to throw that in when someone asks how we met.) (We now play with our Trump voodoo dolls on Sundays.)

Senior military leaders should have a coup plan in place. I'm totally on board with that, because our military leaders have integrity and smarts, unlike Trump. They'll appoint an interim president, throw out the Trump Trash, and ensure we have a fair midterm election next year.

Caroline Shipman 🇺🇲🍕🔵🇺🇦🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇸🇪 @carolinewithac.bsky.social · 5d

Yep. Fuck AI. Didn't ask for it and don't trust it. Do your own work. Poor planning on your part does not make plagiarizing okay.

Looking forward to it! Not looking forward to being hounded by my dad to let him read the book. Oh, darn... guess this means I'll have to buy him his own copy. 😁🤩👍

You're a terrific journalist and I always look forward to seeing your segments, but dang, dude - MSNBC needs to start coughing up hazardous duty pay for you and everyone else covering National Guard & military in American cities. Stay safe - we need people like you on the ground.
