I am whatever you don't want me to be.
ICE is afraid of and actively avoiding “dangerous criminal illegals” in favor of beating grandmothers because they are afraid of (and take bribes from) dangerous cartels.

No wait, that story isn’t wild enough to match her lies.

How about “noted conservative gunsel”?

Too many of The Democrats are writing similar articles.

Oh it’s gonna happen.

My pie-in-the-sky fantasy is that when Trump announces he has canceled the midterms (yes I know he “can’t”, he will still *announce* it) MAGA voters don’t show up because he ordered them not to and the election goes overwhelmingly against the Republicans.

Back before the election, several Trumpers said to me, “yeah I know you’re an American citizen, I can’t wait until Trump deports you.”

harpers.org/archive/1941.... Mr. G is always there. But I disagree with one thing; he’s the *perfect* Nazi, the one who never stands up to anything.

The same group of people did the same thing with the Iraq invasion 20 years ago. They were all-in until they weren’t.

She nailed the point perfectly because the point was, “say something stupid but not so stupid MAGAworld realizes it’s stupid.”

I must officially protest against you engaging in cannibalism.

But he’d have to want to make something at personal cost instead of make money. And he can’t do that. He’d have to value something more than riches.

The funny thing is I really think he could.

Like, if he woke up one day and said, “maybe instead of being a finance-bro grifting the government and the suckers to try and profit off of shell games I should build something people won’t hate” he could burn out his businesses getting a moonbase.

I still need to watch it. I was busy playing Arkham horror.

It’s my favorite shirt, I wear it all the time.
It’s my most-worn shirt, it’s got holes the size of a dime.
It’s comfy and cool and just the right size,
it’s been worn so long it should meet it’s demise.

Absolutely my life.

Up next: people trying to normalize it because “well it’s the only orc that can move enough paper to get awareness *mewling mealy-mouthed equivocation*.

And then after that; “how could we have KNOWN they were going to make deals with the Epstein class to outlaw what MAGA hates?”

Also they’re usually big believers in random pseudoscience about “toxins” that range from “pollution is bad” to “pharmaco uses 5g radiation to beam sadness waves that generate toxins which can be removed by this fad diet involving Kelp Tape* and acupuncture.”

Yes. Exactly

Thing is it *wasn't* true. The people doing it were the people pushing the conspiracy theory elsewhere.

Stop summing moms and it should clear up.

It’s one of the redacted emails.

At this point we might as well assume whatever we want is in there.

“Oh you!”

Apparently all those people need to shut up and get back to the servants’ quarters of the manor house.

But here, we have a dozen capitals, the biggest probably being New York City and none of them being the DC metro area.
February 8, 2026 at 5:53 PM
“No one lives in DC.”

“DC has 700k residents.”

“And they’re no one because I said so.”

You know it’s an interesting foible comparing traditional empires’ views of their capitals and residents and America’s view of DC and its residents. The King’s City would be a cultural leader. It here…

Indeed. You really can't help yourself with your penchant for sexism.
