Well done!

It still boggles my mind that we are well into the 21st century and we need to work so hard to defend and sustain science. My education in the 60's and 70's was steeped in "STEM" and it enriched my life.

I'm gonna go out on a limb (snerk) and predict Santos will be scamming people within a month or two. This is not a habit easily broken.

She's a big fake, and she has risen well above her level of incompetence.

I think we need to acknowledge that Trump turns the White House over to Steven Miller and a collection of incel basement trolls every weekend...so what happens is the result of their efforts. Trump enables it, but he is also barely "there".

Oh, for crying out loud.

My civil engineering brain just broke.

Good think that region is not subject to catastrophic earthquakes, right?

Evidently, Mike Johnson has decided he enjoys being a TV personality more than being Speaker of the House.

Every day we get this nebbish.

Maybe we should wear tricorn hats adorned with tea bags.

Anyway, the Tea Party movement was basically an astroturf operation. Where the hell is my Soros check?

Johnson now reduced to a character in a Lenny Bruce bit...

While you were farting around with friends dressed up as frogs and unicorns, the President was doing the vital work of guiding a small white ball into a hole in the ground, eighteen times!

Somebody in an inflatable frog costume needs to crash a Speaker Johnson press event this week.

We are going to hear from Speaker Johnson soon, who has heard nothing about any No Kings protests. He will assure us that the Silent Majority supports Trump, and most Real Americans were busy on a Saturday morning with advanced lawn care, as good Christians.

"Infiltrated"?

More like, "Tripped on the Welcome mat and fell on their face."
