When "reality TV" becomes your reality, fake employees do fake tasks in fake 'teams' and then a guy shows up in full makeup for five minutes claiming to be in charge, and agrees people should be fired.

Congrats, America, you're officially the audience that paid an entrance fee to watch the show.

Threads of the Human Loom

Lately, I’ve been hearing the same tired tune—often echoed in right-wing circles and online by nationalist talking-heads—about how white Europeans, particularly white Christian men, are singlehandedly...

Cool. If she is convicted, I hope we'll see an avalanche of lawsuits against all the officials in the administration who have done the same thing.

Norway, if you're listening, please give that award to whoever will piss him off most.

When I saw this, I suddenly got a 'memory scent' of my mother's garden on a sunny autumn day. Thank you.

The only hurdle left to getting a pardon, and I'm sure they gave her the script weeks ago.

There's a petition for challenging the use of public funds for private schools, locate it and sign it:

If high school chemistry teacher Alicia Taylor gets her wish, Albertans will vote in a referendum on whether to end public funding for independent schools.

Depends on who wins. I'm rooting for Maria Cortina Machado, but if she wins, he'll invade Venezuela.

Meanwhile, my main health issue is a concern that if I roll my eyes just one more time at something this f***wit says, I might need surgery to bring them back from the top of their sockets.

I make my own, haven't had store-bought in a long time. Cheaper, less plastic waste, less real estate camping in my fridge, and fresh every time. 🙂

I commend her for speaking up, but will she go right back to denying the validity of the files when her idol is found to be a major subject?

Does she think she can spin it with her usual gaslighting and creative interpretation of facts?

She's on the oversight committee, what does she already know?

Depends on your definition of 'future', now doesn't it?
1. Swear-in Grijalva
2. Vote on the Epstein files
3. See if #2 has the desired effect, vote to rescind all previous votes, confirmations, EO's and DOGE actions since January 2025.

I know. A girl can dream, it's all she has left.

I just heard "mansplaining" defined as "correctile dysfunction." I spat out my coffee.

With age and experience, and direct consequences to her loved ones, Madge's views are slowly understanding the issues are never black and white.

I only wish she would have been doing it far from the halls of power this whole time.

Correct about Bibi. A manufactured excuse is a given.

My tiny hope is that the NPP goes to Maria Cortina Machado for her active opposition to Maduro in Venezuela. There would be more than ketchup on the walls at the WH.

Hey Kristi, if you were able to find the girlfriend, it's because you know the name of the founder in question. I'm sure if you make his name public, your goons will find him. At his workplace.
