First Bluesky post.

This literally the equivalent of "Sweet Caroline" at Fenway. Also, the announcer will say "please stand for *insert song* when necessary.

It's hard to imagine the diminutive Josh Hawley can contain that much hot air.

Hand to hand combat? Some ICE guy had to hand another ICE guy a gourmet donut?

Did she infiltrate the "antifa underground railroad"? Did she ward them off with her stunt cross?

Do we think he even submits to having blood drawn or having a prostate exam? Doubtful!

I worked with a few people like her to be honest. We knew to never say anything to them but hi.

I wonder if she made notes about sneering and rolling her eyes throughout the hearing?

I canceled my subscription. Even doing a small thing like this helps!

If there were ever a government official that didn't deserve the title of Honorable, it's that fetid slag Pam Bondi.

Good gosh, what is a "sexual matador's" vision of hand to hand is?

CENSORED: “They refused to run my column this week. Too critical of Trump, they said.”

Writer Dan Conway left The Daily Memphian after editors rejected his column for criticizing Trump’s unconstitutional military incursions into US cities.

Oh heck, meemaw is in charge?

That isn't an innocent explosion. I've never seen a house inferno of that nature.

It would be fantastic if news organizations covered this. But tomorrow morning, here's what we will get on our am news shows: Boosts, Pop Starts, Deals and Steals, a cake segment, tacos, songs, and all that important shit.

It's increasingly clear that the president lives in a constructed bubble of unreality designed by aides who are manipulating him in order to take control of US policy. Seems like an important story - wish media would cover it.

This is straight up insane. How are we still even functioning as a country?

Trump trashes Pete Doocy and Fox.

I find it hilarious Peggy Noonan is discussing comportment, as if drunks and puppy killers have moral compasses.

I canceled them two weeks ago. I'm done with the Jeff Bezos bullshit. Maybe he'll have to crowd fund Lauren's next makeover.

F Minus #RogerMarshall , try and at least do the bare minimum of you're defending a criminal and a coward.

Republicans got their marching orders and shutdown talking points, but when questioned, they fall apart.

Sen Roger Marshall wasn’t ready 🥴

I'd just like this to get reposted as many times as humanly possible. No mother would ever say this if she wasn't positive her child was an utter asshole.

I've kept my ten year old record of not watching these assholes at CNN intact.

The fact he mentions narco-terrorism 4 times is really Pete telling is he has no idea who they were, but he does like blowing up people.

Mueller, She Wrote @muellershewrote.com · 8d

In order for the United States to become a party to the International Criminal Court and have our officials be subject to trial at The Hague, the US Senate would need to ratify the Rome statute by a two-thirds vote. Let’s start running on that.

I would think as Speaker he is duty bound to watch this insanity. All the GOP leaders claim they don't see stuff, WTF?
