Technically they are not even my cats they have just convinced theirselves that they are because their owner doesn't feed them as often as I do....I fully admit I created this monster.

Yea, she had to change her face after murdering her dog, Cricket. The dog mafia is still looking for her.

She was just in a rush to get to the gravel pit...

Honestly, anyone complaining about what people on food stamps buy probably has never had to rely on food stamps.

Jokes on you, they tipped those dancers in food when they were done.

They just told them to open their mouths as Trump and Rubio threw spoonfuls of caviar at them.

Trickle down home economics.

Frankly it would be unwatchably boring.

It would just be, to paraphrase John Oliver, hours of watching a millionaire in a button down deciding whether or not to throw a ball.

If it wasn't this toilet then they truly don't know horror.

100% the cat will be on the roof meowing at my window at the crack of dawn.

Don't ask why she has decided that is better then meowing at my bedroom door.

It's going to be very embarrassing when he screws up pronouncing Nigeria...or maybe enraging is the right word.

That's an insult to potatoes.

A potato has the ability to power a clock, I doubt Trump's brain can even clear that low bar.

I'm pretty worried when they turn their attention to state legalized cannabis businesses. Will they go in guns blazing ready to murder some veterans?

I caution you from using such definitive language, because it most assuredly can get stupider.

Has Barron Trump launched an OnlyFans called BarrIt? Not YET...

That's just one way it could be even dumber.

I get mad when I hear people talk about healing with crystals in any language...

Can't wait to lease my Lex Luther-owned space pod and receive my Prime oxygen ration, hoping the subscription rates on air don't go up again. It's so convenient; it just pipes right into the pod. Or, you know, not.

STOP GIVING HIM IDEAS.

If a temporary resident of the White House can totally demolish the East Wing to build a gaudy ballroom, without any authority, approval, or regulation, he can tear down the rest of the White House to build a Walmart. That this destruction is allowed underscores how off the rails our country is now.

Just saying for those not aware, but it being bigger then Hempfest pretty much means it's the biggest event in Seattle ever.

Seattle loves its hemp but hates kings even more.

Proof that we don't need more guns to deal with unstable people with guns.

Well done guys!

Yea, Bush withdrew the US, which is why I think the options for justice seem limited.

I'm currently putting my faith in maritime law.

L'esprit de l'escalier @mitchellcolbert.bsky.social · 14d

That SCOTUS immunity decision only applies to US Federal laws, because that is all SCOTUS can impact (not state, military, maritime, or international law).

The UN/ICC would be the appropriate venue but they have virtually no enforcement powers.

Ahh yes, the 2025 Great Siege of Portland, when a small army of Pokémons and frogmen stood up bravely to an army of men with the smallest penises and the biggest daddy issues.

We salute you, heroes.
