Two children were killed and seventeen people were injured in a shooting at Annunciation Catholic School.

A Cracker Barrel logo change received far more scrutiny and attention than any fight against the epidemic of gun violence in this country.

Our priorities remain idiotic.

I’m surprised he didn’t say: “I don’t know her, she’s not my type.”

Q: “Have you given any more thought to possibly suspending habeas corpus?”

Donald Trump: “Suspending WHO?”

Q: “Habeas corpus.”

Donald Trump: “I don't know. I'd rather leave that to Kristi.”

WE ARE BEING LED BY COMPLETE IMBECILES.

He is such a fucking idiot.

Dolly Parton's sister has asked us to pray for her.

Even if prayer is not your thing, perhaps offer a positive thought. She grew up in extreme poverty, but that did not stop her ambition. A life spent entertaining us and helping make this world a better place.

We are in her debt. Loved, ALWAYS.

Whether it's Republicans flagrantly abusing Articles One and Two of the Constitution or Democrats being bad at messaging, both parties are pushing America to the brink.

Breaking News: Sean DIDDY Combs has been sentenced to four years and two months in prison.

I would’ve preferred a longer sentence, because of the extreme brutality, but his legacy is dismantled forever.

He went from A-list music mogul to cell block D. You are your choices.

Apple, the company, was named after a fruit.

He named his daughter Eve.

The bitten apple symbolizes the Garden of Eden.

Steve Jobs was a genius. His creativity is deeply missed.

If you’re watching us from outside the United States, it’s pretty much as bad as it looks.

If you voted for Trump, I have ZERO compassion for any dire circumstances you may be facing now.

We begged you to wake up and realize that under his leadership there would extreme chaos and suffering. Now, Project 2025 is coming to fruition.

I only care about DEMs who are collateral in this mess.

This news has left me in pain. I admired Dr. Goodall and her profound work.
A legend for the ages now…

Dr.Jane Goodall, ethologist, pioneering primatologist, and anthropologist, has died.

She was a wonderful, kind, and above all, inspiring teacher who devoted her life to protecting our Earth and its inhabitants. I will cherish her contributions to understanding the true nature of animals and humans.

I always thought it was a given that the N-word should never be used, ever.

Yet, Donald Trump felt the need to remind four-star generals and admirals that such a word is unacceptable.

They obviously already knew. The reminder was for his own reassurance.
He's vile in every way.

NEW: Sen. Tammy Duckworth is calling for Pete Hegseth to resign.

"If this PR stunt proved anything, it's that the best thing Pete Hegseth can do to strengthen our military is resign in disgrace immediately."

Pete Hegseth: "No more dudes in dresses. No more climate change worship…we are done with that shit."

The Napoleon complex is working overtime with this individual.

I wish he’d go back to the trailer park he emerged from.

Thankfully, you’re watching this mess, because I can’t stomach it.

If Hegseth had more than five brain cells, he’d enter the witness protection program TODAY.

What a fool. The world is truly laughing at us.

A DUI hire is lecturing Admirals and Generals on how to be “warriors.”

I’m embarrassed for Hegseth. He doesn’t realize everyone’s laughing at him and his inanity.

A very small man who’s trying to act “big and bad,” because he was given a title he NEVER earned.

A certain politician's Grindr profile may soon be leaked to the masses.

What interesting lives these DL men lead—such devout hypocrites and adulterers.
Your tea is about to be spilled, little J.

Things have grown so dire in Portland, Oregon that residents may soon face a shortage of artisanal baked goods, almond milk rose petal beetroot lattes, and cold brew mushroom tonic.

If anyone from Portland, Oregon, sees this post, just know you’re in our prayers.

Are there any survivors?

How many days until you run out of food and lifesaving supplies?
We’re sending care packages filled with lavender honey and goat milk preserves.

Godspeed!

Breaking News: There’s already been one resignation that has been submitted by a prosecutor in the Eastern District of Virginia tonight.

There are still some principled individuals who will choose honor over submitting to the Dear Leader.

Pam Bondi and Kash Patel will end up in prison one day.

James Comey’s statement: “I'm not afraid. I'm innocent, so let's have a trial."

This is going to be extremely DELICIOUS. He’s also a former prosecutor and AG. I’m quite confident that he’s NOT going to be convicted.

I expect sanctions and disbarment for all DOJ attorneys on this BS case.

“There is basis to suspect that the Board and executives may have breached their fiduciary duties of loyalty, care, and good faith by placing improper political or affiliate considerations above the best interests of the Company and its stockholders."

When capitulate to Trump, you’ll always lose.
