The President is not legitimate.
His orders are not legitimate (on top of being unconstitutional).
Those who follow and/or enforce his orders are the enemies of the United States of America.

Look, all I'm asking is for all representatives and elected members of a national political party to do everything I want, all the time. Is that so hard?

S.J. Moomaw @aboutamoo.bsky.social · 20h

I’m far less concerned about the military firing on protesters than I am about these mfers.

Chris Murphy @chrismurphyct.bsky.social · 1d

This is out of hand. These agents are there to cause trouble and violence, not to keep people safe. These are the scenes that play out in war torn, destitute countries - not America.

Yeah this isn’t the first time.

Programmed the coffee maker last night, but neglected to make sure there were beans in the hopper, so I came down to the kitchen and had a pot of hot water waiting for me.

Is Joe West calling balls and strikes tonight?

How is it only the fifth inning?

Not all heroes wear “Dump 61/62 Here” shirts. But one does.

Roger Cormier @yayroger.bsky.social · 1d

He is now wearing a Dump Here 62 shirt.

I don’t begrudge artists getting paid. But have some dignity, man.

Licensing your songs to CSI is one thing, but my god. Did Townshend owe back taxes or something?

These Walmart “Who knew?” commercials riffing on The Who’s “Who Are You” are personally embarrassing to me, as someone who likes The Who.

I came up with “ultraviolet… thingy”. Would that work?

S.J. Moomaw @aboutamoo.bsky.social · 1d

That “built for fall” hoodie Boone’s wearing is not, uhhh, accurate.

"Look, the President clearly has some kind of dementia" should be how Democrats begin every single comment to reporters these days.

Eric Michael Garcia @ericmgarcia.bsky.social · 1d

Ruben Gallego on whether Trump is talking to Democrats:

“Look, the President clearly has some kind of dementia, so I think there's a he's probably talking to himself, or think he's talking to a Democrat, but I sincerely doubt that that's actually he's actually physically talking to a Democrat.“

Yeah, but he was already bulletproof by then. Much easier to put it all on A-Rod.

Superstars always take the fall, facts be damned.

This is the softest of all possible softball questions ...IF the answer is "no".

It becomes a little harder if the answer is "yes".

NOTABLE -- Pam Bondi refuses to answer direct questions about if the FBI has incriminating photos of Trump with half-naked young women, but instead deflects from them by attacking Sen. Whitehouse

The "walk & talk" part of this video is expertly done, but it's also clearly separate from the final part where he's standing with the rocket launch in the background. So we have no idea how many takes that part of the video required. It's only the final bit that had to be nailed in one take.

S.J. Moomaw @aboutamoo.bsky.social · 1d

If the runner's on first, I can at least see it. But even then I'd rather see the batter swing.

S.J. Moomaw @aboutamoo.bsky.social · 1d

Fireable offense.

How many times must body cam footage have to “contradict” law enforcement before the media rightly assume they’re lying from the get go?

At least one more time.

Body-camera video appears to contradict the government’s claim that Marimar Martinez, 30, drove toward officers before one of them opened fire at her late Saturday morning in Brighton Park, her attorney claimed.

Attorney for woman shot by Border Patrol claims officer said 'Do something b-----' before shooting

Body-camera video appears to contradict the government's claim that Marimar Martinez, 30, drove toward officers before one of them opened fire at her late Saturday morning in Brighton Park, her attorney claimed. A judge ordered Martinez and a co-defendant released pending trial.

On the other hand, if you hadn’t bunted, that base hit might’ve tied the game, and who wants that?

S.J. Moomaw @aboutamoo.bsky.social · 2d

Stupid call to bunt there.

Depending how much of a penalty you assess for straying from the source material, The Shining (Kubrick version) and Shawshank.
