Chuck Grassley's goat

Won the Nobel price of love 1922.

Chuck Grassley should resign. He should build a time machine and resign 30 years ago.

I hate to say it folks, but history book, shall the people of the future have any, will likely pinpoint the end of American democracy as March 16th-17th (with it becoming inevitable in November when trump won his 2nd term).

Today, March 18th, we're vey likely living in the "after" time.
We want an American Manuela Borges.
Good morning to Brazilian reporter Manuela Borges, who’s been waiting eleven years for this petty moment. ❤️ 🇧🇷

How is ICE kidnapping decent, good people but not this monster?
Apple pie is bad. This is not really debatable. So is key lime pie, while we’re on the topic. Pecan pie is the 🐐 tho.

This one sounds like Karoline's brother called ICE on his ex to get sole custody of his son, getting the ex to be thrown in a dark cell and eventually deported.

It's a special kind of evil and hopefully when the kid grows he learns about what his father did.
"A woman with a family connection to White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt has been arrested by Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents in Revere, Massachusetts."

All of you after eating too much turkey on TG.
the Doug Mills video embedded in the NYT Trump aging story is pretty amazing
November 26, 2025 at 5:17 AM
Let's all be honest about thanksgiving food.
Turkey: Inferior, dry version of chicken.
Stuffing: Stuff it.
Mashed potatoes: The only acceptable TG food, but it's a side, not a meal.
Gravy: Again, not food by itself.
Pumpkin pie: Crap. It's bad. Stop lying to yourselves. Every other pie is better.

Pumpkin pie is too high on that list.

That list is decent, but last year I went to a restaurant and they had maple syrup pie, and it was a whole new human experience. A slice of that pie was the price of a decent meal and contained about 5 millions calories, but it was so good it was life changing.
Just FYI:

My most controversial tweet ever, from Thanksgiving three years ago, back when Twitter was Twitter and Bluesky didn’t exist.

We can, indeed, do that forever. Not that it would be great, but we can literally produce and provide weapons until the end of time at the current rate.
Karoline Leavitt on Ukraine:

The United States is still sending or selling a big amount of weapons to NATO.

We cannot do that forever.

I don't know who keeps saying the reason Canadians don't visit the US is the exchange rate, but it's 100% false

This is the exchange rate for 2025. The Canadian dollar has gained strength against the US dollar since the beginning of the year, or since trump's inauguration. Little movement, but gain

Only one of these things is actually a problem for the US Government. The other 4 are problems for the US military, for the world, for South Americans, for Venezuela, for people of reason, for American people in general, but not for the US government.

The remedy is impeachment, conviction, removal.
Really looks like the United States is about to launch a regime change war against Venezuela with:

-No casus belli
-No authorization from Congress
-No allies or international support
-No plan for a post-Maduro Venezuela
-No preparation for any sort of stabilization or containment of the fallout

Box? Surely you mean furniture.
Bluesky, how big is your box of old cables? If you know you know.

It's fine, red M&Ms are the real problem anyway.
Unreal: "The EPA is moving forward with approvals for pesticides containing 'forever chemicals' as an active ingredient... The agency also announced plans to relax a rule requiring companies to report products containing PFAS and has proposed weakening drinking water standards for the chemicals."

Trump: anything else pal?

Zohran: I dunno you want to sink the GOP nominee for governor?

Trump: no problem!
Q: Stefanik has called Mamdani a 'jihadist.' Do you think you're standing next to a jihadist right now?

TRUMP: No, I don't. I met with a man who's a very rational person

OMG. Like. Ok, Zohran is charming, but OMG.
Trump frickin' loves this guy lmao

Imagine being one of those CEOs or school presidents who bowed down to this weird old man, then realizing he doesn’t like you as much as he likes this guy who didn’t bow at all

I guess in this new age of politic, a comedian who called the president a "shit-for-brain" is not off-limit.

I would NOT want to be on the other side of a debate with him. In a debate, JL would shred any shit-for-brain politician to pieces.

But most importantly: policies

Peak Windows was Windows10. The removal of toolbars from the Windows 11 taskbar is treason and everyone involved should be prosecuted.

How could you say Dick Cheney wasn't antifa? He literally shot a republican in the face with a 12G shotgun.
Watching the funeral of VP Dick Cheney and listening to his daughter, Congresswoman Liz Cheney, speak. One can only hope that this GOP will find its democratic compass again and reject all things fascist. I didn’t always agree with VP Cheney BUT he was antifa. He always put country over party.RIP🙏

Please remember, while flying a swastika is no longer hate speech, implying that somebody flying a swastika is a Nazi, still is.

Even the damn cops won't leave for Florida.
New York City Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani announced Wednesday that the city’s current police commissioner, Jessica Tisch, has agreed to remain in the post, a major coup for the incoming mayor as he moves to assuage concerns over his past criticism of the police department. https://to.pbs.org/43EtM48
Mamdani says New York City's current police commissioner will stay on the job
Mamdani praised Tisch for “cracking down on corruption in the upper echelons" of the NYPD while also driving down crime in the city.

For those who might not know: The audience is paid to be there. Not that much, but they're paid and they're supposed to laugh and applaud at the right times.

There's an "applaud" signal, but no "laugh" signal though. In this case it means the audience didn't even know it was a joke.

It's majestic.

Mixed feelings. Typically, the "leopard ate my face" trump voters don't really make me sad. I'm happy about the racist farmers losing their farms to tariffs/loss of employees, the small business owners whining about tariffs and such.

I guess empathy wins over Schadenfreude in this case?
Epstein survivor Jena-Lisa Jones: "Trump really ran his campaign on this. This is why I voted for him. The release of these files has been so important for me for so long that when he run on that, I really had some hope that someone would do something about it."
