A County just evicted ICE from their offices. After the agency failed to pay $115,000 in rent, county officials tore up the agreement and refused to take any "blood money." The County Controller didn't mince words, telling the federal agency to "pay your bills, pack your sh*t, and get the hell out."

He might not actually be wrong, since FoxNews has figured out how to load a robot mind into human bodies...
Just as long as it isn't Elon's mind. I wouldn't welcome the idea of thousands of white supremacist robots running about, saying really stupid things they incorrectly regard as profound.

Johnson's supposed concern to protect Epstein's victims makes much more sense when you realize the "victim" he's referring to is Trump.

Yes, that must be it: the Democrats are using the Epstein files, which incriminate them, but are also a hoax, to distract from the shutdown, which is over. Airtight logic.

It would be pretty damned ironic if the 8 reviled D senators caving on the shutdown leading to Grijalva being sworn in and signing the Epstein files discharge petition is what finally brings King TACO down.

"'[W]hat they took from you' was the feeling of being 12, not any actual thing in the past" is a phrasing I've been trying to capture for a while (mostly in relation to the OSR RPG movement), and explains a LOT.
There's a reason I love reading this guy.

As is always the case with this nostalgia crap, "what they took from you" was the feeling of being 12, not any actual thing in the past.
(Also, those 1960s, 1970s cars were deathtraps compared to modern vehicles)

I'm absolutely not surprised to learn that "I love Hitler," "watermelon people," "monkeys,""faggot," "retarded," "beaner," "I'm ready to watch people burn," "spic," "1488," "nigga," "chinks," and "gas chambers" are very tame compared to what's said in the Oval Office. Brave of Couchfucker to own it.

More evidence that they're not going to end the shutdown. What started as a gambit to protect the Epstein files has become the authoritarian endgame to allow 47 to rule by fiat, taking & distributing money as he sees fit in the name of "national security" or whatever, and starving the rest of gov't.
Leavitt: "The president tapped into tariff revenue to keep WIC money going out the door. He found a creative solution to keep the troops paid. And rather than congratulate him for doing that, this unprecedented action to get our troops paid, Dems want to sue him for it. They're saying it's illegal."

I joined a @visibilitybrigade.bsky.social group that puts signs up on freeway overpasses here in PDX. The responses we get are overwhelmingly positive. But yesterday, someone driving below yelled up "F@#$ you, hippie!" and... we all just kinda howled with laughter.

Can you even imagine what Trump and FoxNews' reaction would have been in 2015 if Obama had given a Muslim nation permission to build a military facility on US soil?

I'm expecting Johnson won't call the House back into session, 47 won't negotiate with Ds but fund by fiat (claiming national security) the parts of gov't that flatter him &/or harass his enemies/critics/objects of bigotry & starve the rest, followed by states seceding &/or the economy collapsing.
