Epstein tried to get a pic with every celebrity/politico/influential person, so I wouldn’t have thought much about one picture of him with #DavidBrooks …if David Brooks hadn’t just written an article encouraging us to dismiss the #EpstienFiles.

Holiday tip: combine the traditions of #Festivus and Dr. Seuss Christmas by putting up a 39 and a half foot aluminum pole.

Being born right at the end of the Vietnam war, I have seen some very thin arguments for using our military throughout my life. Declaring a street drug a WMD and claiming Venezuela has stolen our oil (?) is by far the most thinly stretched argument I’ve ever seen.

I’m glad it’s cool to think the band Kiss sucks now. I always thought they were corny and a boy band. I mean, I thought they sucked when it wasn’t cool, but yeah.

Whenever I hear the name Hans Gruber I can never remember if that’s the film composer or the brothers who wrote the fairytales.

It’s pretty clear that republicans are comfortable blowing up the deficit, so they could easily blow up the deficit AND fund food stamps. They just don’t want people to have food stamps. Not for austerity or anything, just to be shitty to people not born rich.

If Democrats agree to let republicans open up the government the Republicans promise to hold the football real still.

Are democrats caving or colluding? Either way they all need to be primaried.

Media talking about “wHaT tHeSe ReSuLtS mEan.” What they won’t say: running a campaign based on what the voters where you live want, worked this time. Mamdani and Spanberger didn’t run different campaigns. They ran on stuff directly affecting the people voting for them. It’s the same campaign.

I think a lot about how different things might be if Biden had picked Doug Jones as AG. Whelp, here’s to the long slow climb out of authoritarianism that could have been avoided if Comey had kept his mouth shut, or Garlin had done anything, etc. etc.

You don’t have to pay people to protest a guy who would commute George Santos’ sentence and get Ghislaine Maxwell a cushier detention. #NoKings

Honestly, it would be pretty hilarious to see John Bolton taken down by the shitty world he helped create.

So much for state’s rights, huh?
58% of Americans - including half of Republicans - think the president should send armed troops only to face external threats, a sign of unease as President Donald Trump increasingly deploys National Guard troops to police American cities, a @reuters.com poll found.

You know, I get it if you’d rather have someone besides Bad Bunny at the Super Bowl. But if you are one of our leaders and think it’s some kind of pRoBLeM for the country, you’re just outing yourself as one of these racist people that think Puerto Rico is a foreign country.

Kind of makes me want a Troof Social account just to observe the loons, though it’s probably not worth the hits to the ol’ mental state.
Truth Social users skew older and generally have a great deal of faith in Trump—demographics that suggest a less sophisticated approach to evaluating online claims.

The site has become fertile ground for false or contested health claims.

Well, guess I better go to work to bail out farmers for not selling beans to China and then work some more to bail out Argentina who is now selling their beans to China. At least my healthcare is about to be unaffordable .

We must pay billions to farmers

Because we cut off their customers with tariffs

And pay billions to Argentina

Whose farmers are selling to the customers we forfeited

Because that is America First
