We should’ve known. Anything to make a buck and keep it in the family.

So the people causing the shutdown are getting paid. The people keeping the country running don’t.

And Speaker Mike Johnson won’t let the House come back to work. So basically they’re on a paid vacation while Americans miss paychecks.

Did I get that right?

Oh look the party that screams “family values” every five minutes is silent when one of their megachurch darlings pleads guilty to child sex abuse. But they’ll trip over themselves to ban books and attack drag shows. Tells you everything you need to know.

So well said!

Whether you like it or not, this is our painful truth in America.

Is Stephen Miller trying to be a comedian? Because that’s some funny shit! 🤣

Courtney Mroch @courtneymroch.bsky.social · 2d

This is what I’ve loved about Bluesky most. It’s been so helpful to know others, millions of others, see Trump for the awful human he is too. And it’s so sad because he really could unite and use his charisma for good but instead, he uses it for evil. Such a waste.

Mark Hamill @markhamillofficial.bsky.social · 2d

Same.

Brandy (You’re a Fine Girl). I’ve always thought that’d make a good movie too.

Courtney Mroch @courtneymroch.bsky.social · 3d

Shocking. But thank goodness. Too bad she can’t also be moved back to real jail…at least until Trump pardons her. I’m sure that’s coming next.

Courtney Mroch @courtneymroch.bsky.social · 4d

lol! Yes!

Zeus, our backyard neighbor cat, comes to visit for cat nip and crazy tunnel hide and seek playtime.

Is it going to be another weekend of wondering where he is, hoping he’s dead, being disappointed when he turns up again like the bad penny he is?

Courtney Mroch @courtneymroch.bsky.social · 5d

VERBAL…although maybe venal works too. 🤣

Courtney Mroch @courtneymroch.bsky.social · 5d

Quick. Someone get that woman a diaper for the venal diarrhea coming out of her mouth.

A Fox News reporter asked that? Shocking.

With any luck, grim reaper wannabe poser Russ Vought will meet the same fate as the reaper on the left. 🤞

Haunt Jaunts @hauntjaunts.bsky.social · 6d

It ain’t a Halloween party without a grim reaper. 😜

Two grim reapers standing in front of a pair of elevators. The one of the left is holding his mask in his hand and asks the one on the right, “Are you on your way to a Halloween party, too?” The one on the right says, “Um…actually neither of us are.”

WTAF?! Amazing how they’re able to continually out-cringe themselves with increasingly vile BS.

Courtney Mroch @courtneymroch.bsky.social · 6d

I think “trade not aid” needs to become a rallying cry for Dems in 2026.

Also as he is fond of saying, “Thank you for your attention to this matter.”

With any luck, Russ Vought will meet the same fate as the reaper on the left in this cartoon.

Two grim reapers standing in front of a pair of elevators. The one on the left is holding a skeleton mask in his hand and asks the one on the right, “Are you on your way to a Halloween party too?” The one on the right says, “Um…actually, neither of us are.”

REMINDER: Rs can nuke the filibuster whenever they want and pass whatever budget they like, but they won’t bc they know they’ll never get it back and then they’ll lose their unjustifiable grip on power forever.

They don’t want a budget, they want accomplices. Don’t do it. Hold the line.

Stephen Miller finally got one thing right. This executive order IS “historical and significant.” It’s maybe the most un-American executive order yet, and the biggest trample on the First Amendment. Don’t tread on my freedom of speech or right to peaceably assemble!
