Dude who handed Trump his spine whines about the trials and tribulations of being spineless.

You know who’s overwhelmed, Mikey? Americans trying to pay the bills.

You know why, Mikey? You sold them out.

This T-shirt would’ve been a better move.

One of your friends starts a text group discussion about a scene from Curb Your Enthusiasm and another friend drops in to say, “In other news …”

Maybe it’s just me but this admin seems awfully Nazi-ish.

Methinks that these three attorneys are in it now for the pardons.

He knew he was going to lose this particular vote. Full stop. He lost this vote before it will be conducted. He is leaving a caveat of *legally entitled.* He’s done everything he can to prevent the release. And he still will. It’s an obvious lie for him to say he doesn’t care.

A) THIS is how you cover / contextualize the Epstein email cesspool.

B) This graph is everything and is an apt commentary on so much of our moment.

Passing by Kristen Visbal’s “Fearless Girl” outside the New York Stock Exchange—I couldn’t help but think of Epstein, the men who did what they did to girls who…survived, endured; the women who have held their ground to hold them accountable. Fearless.

Tell me again how Trump and this GOP are the party that cares so much about Christ and Christianity.

“Wall Street Couldn’t Stop Mayor Mamdani. Now It Has to Work With Him”

Is a great headline and all the more awesome to see in the WSJ. A few other glorious matter-of-fact snippets.

But behold the president’s new bathroom.

This is what the President of the United States is proud of and focused on.

“A group of 20 Jeffrey Epstein victims is urging Mike Johnson to immediately swear-in Representative-elect Adelita Grijalva.”

Myung of South Korea gives this clown a crown. Netanyahu put out a letter nominating Trump for Nobel Peace Prize. These leaders are among so many that in public play Trump for the vain jackass he is. Imagine how Putin and the rest manipulate this fool when alone. Trump is a security risk.

Where are all my “Christian” Republican and principled “conservative” Trump supporters?

Someone better ask Mike Johnson if this shit is in his Bible?

Yeah, that’s the problem: wave after wave of government employees retiring. Not just the headline but the whole—you’d get the impression: *Wow, how weird that thousands of federal employees all of a sudden just decided to retire.*
