I'm astonished that 24% of black people still support trump.

The look on Midnight's face is iconic for the time we're enduring now.

Every day is a new outrage, a new brazen affront to civility and democracy, and a new feeling of guilt that the people of the US have appreciated their democracy so little that like negligent parents they are standing idly by and watching an evil pustular presence hurl a plugged in toaster into a bathtub with the children.

Tomorrow there are supposed to be some organized protests against Elmo at the Tesla dealerships across the US. Here in MI four of them are in solid red zones, so it will be interesting to see if they're well attended, especially now that we've been given notice that the New SS will be infiltrating the group and arresting anyone who speaks ill of the spy/traitor. (I smell Erik Prince and his jackboots getting their adrenalin up to kidnap peaceful protestors off the street, while claiming they are Tesla terrorists.) Will report back.

You are paying attention. Erik Prince has been on the job. Evil never takes a break

So true, and the Princes and DeVoses in this state represent themselves as the churchiest people in the galaxy. It's what they think justifies their lust for control of others. And speaking of churchies, it was refreshing to see Pope Francis give a papal scold to JD Vance.

He should excommunicate any Repub cretin over whom he has that ability. If they truly believed, they would not be the epitome of evil…

In the vein of keeping each other sane, kdsherpa has shared this and I immediately thought some folks here would enjoy: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_c-vn5zTDqo I'm curious to hear if he reminds anyone else of an earlier... but hopefully not Too much earlier (!) singer/songwriter.

He looks and sounds a bit like a young Mellancamp with a touch of Alan Sherman and a dusting of Arlo.

Do ALL these donations count as gifts to be listed by all leaders in the White House? If so, when? If not, why not? Donny didn’t come in with them, so it all needs to be listed and disclosed. It’s the law, right?

That CIA story sounds like they weren't just giving LSD to unwitting experimental subjects.

Florida will be next…

And we have a proposed bill to ban “weather modification” …because you know about those dangerous chemtrails! Of course RFK JR supports as it’s how we will “Make America Healthy Again”.🤦🏻‍♀️

Just WOW what a load. Thanks for that brief.

Signalgate: It took a day or so for the press to notice the human asset on the ground that got outed. Hopefully they are safe...Both sides blew their cover. Doing weather briefs for the Air Wing on board for a couple of deployments the Time line in the chat had to come from various sources. It was no cut and paste. It was prepared and given to Pete. As the Petty Officer in Charge of burning the Classified material that time line was burnable.

This post was so amazingly long!!!! Because there is so much bad shit going on. Oligarchs lining up to plunder. Idiots abound. Reading about what Trump wants to extort from Ukraine made me feel so dirty. And the 1984 Big Brothers EO? They really want to rewrite history. “The future we understand, but the past changes day to day.”—old Soviet joke.

Aww, you have posted a clone pic of my Lulu. She is the last of my parade. I must last long enough to see her end, as painful as the endings always are. She is black with green eyes and white whiskers. She is my comfort these days. Thank you for that.

As to the litany of horrors, I have only to say that the P2025 people have left no stone unturned in their effort to remake America in the image of the worst authoritarians, Nazi evil. They have been busy planning our demise. Firing all the federal workers is not just incompetence, but carefully planned chaos. They intend to replace them with vetted MAGAts so that there will never be any opposition. I think I read that the vetting of replacements began prior to Jan 20. It is mind boggling that so many former “responsible” republicans have been sucked into this vortex. I was shocked to see James Baker align with the Bush folks even before the SC did their dirty deeds. Now, it seems 90% of what was a functioning party have become enemies of our country. With apologies to none, but the most egregious Orwellian clap trap to justify the most heinous actions. Give them their due Democrats and become the party I thought you were when you kicked the Southern racists to the curb. Stir, rise up, and kick their arses. Sorry for the late rant…

Stellar writing. This should head Vance's official stationery: "Nobody told me.”
