Another comment: with the greatest respect for any readers with native American heritage--if you of a successful raindance, could you please perform it for us so it POURS on the parade? Any pagans here, can you cast a spell? I am a Christian, so I will pray, and for the heck of it, I'll cross my fingers, too.

Hmm....Trump couldn't face the rain in France. Can he stand having his makeup run and hair mussed for our Army's anniversary?

lol, my NA husband will do what he can. I’ll try to find a Druid rain dance, myself.

Sebastian and Sweetie have the right idea…if only!

“Trump loyalist Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga., told Politico’s reporters she will be in attendance. Other representatives who plan to go include Elise Stefanik of New York, John McGuire of Virginia, Lisa McClain of Michigan, Byron Donalds and Cory Mills of Florida and Rich McCormick of Georgia.”

Byron Donald’s is also running for governor of Florida.Speaking of which here’s another attempt by DeSantis to distract from his ongoing Hope Florida scandal..

Ron DeSantis says it’s OK to hit a protesting ‘mob’ with your car if you need to ‘flee for your safety

I agree with Sebastian…please wake me when it’s over !

Nice to know they are presenting him with a flag to hump. Deporting white Europeans is not a good look. One pasty white face peering out from Guantanamo will bring this whole lie down. I hope.

Thank you Tom for

keeping us in the loop

and for the cat and dog

photos lately. They're a

good reminder there are

some kinder, better

creatures within our

reach to help ease the

frustration we all feel

these days.

We are experiencing

heavy rain and tstorms

today. This is the system

that will move up and hit

DC Saturday. Could be

even more potent by

then. Hoping it will park

itself right over Trump.

Also, cats, dogs and other species (!) dont know, dont care AND likely would dislike - putting it mildly - the WH felon. After all - hes never had that privilege! I believe that might be one of his greatest faults. (one of so so many)

It must be hard for any dog handler and guard dog at the WH to do their job!

Tom, just a comment: I REALLY appreciate the standard opening of TAFM where you keep track of the days.

I literally yelled **FUCK YEAH** when I read this. Thank you for sharing!

The government, whether through the Legislature or the courts, has no role in proclaiming when a fetus is viable over the judgment of a medical provider working with an individual to make private, autonomous decisions about their own health. A fixed gestational age that does not allow a provider’s case-specific determination fails to ensure that the government does not interfere with an individual’s private medical decisions,” the court wrote. “Until a fetus is viable and able to survive outside the womb, the right of personal autonomy belongs to the person on whose body the fetus depends,” the court found. “In contrast, we find no legal authority for the idea that the State’s interest in preserving fetal life, or the fetus’s right to life, takes precedence over all constitutional protections and dignities of the mother.”

Thanks for giving us the latest good and bad. The Quinnipiac poll has certainly made the headlines with some important details that need to be mentioned. This is a telephone poll of 1265 people, less than a third Repub and less than a third Democrat. Over a third called themselves independent. Let’s say that is about 400 of each party. When I am told it’s a poll of Americans or registered voters, my mind first imagines millions of people and I feel discouraged. But 400 people, maybe half of them Russian spies using different phone numbers is really not significant when considering all the ways the fat taco thumb is on the scales. Please give us the total sampling that puts things in perspective!

It's bad news for TACO. That's what matters. Get the meedeeya finally discovering what a loser he is.

Can’t wait till that happens. How much longer??

When events seemed to be escalating in California this week I initially thought it was a distraction from the disasters of the previous week. But the polling numbers that came out this week now have me wondering if the Admin. is sprinting to the finish line with state takeovers in order to sew up power before the hoi polloi get more disaffected.

Everybody have a peaceful weekend by raising your voice and demonstrating peacefully at the many large and small NO KINGS demonstrations on Saturday around the country. Try to stay out of the fray if there is one by sitting down, playing dead, whatever.

DO NOT ENGAGE WITH ICE OR POLICE IN A VIOLENT WAY !

Thats exactly what they want, dont grant their wishes. Show that we are better than them.

JOE P's avatar

Raise your voice NOW while you still can but do not get involved with violent behavior.

Gigi's avatar

Padilla only raised his voice. Maybe we better not do that either.

Gigi's avatar

In case there was any doubt about what law and order in Donnieworld looks like, listen to Senator Padilla. Bet those Repub scardycats are really afraid now. They make it worse with every idiotic vote.

Your fur babies have the best idea. If I didn’t have trouble sleeping, I’d join them. Absolutely no surprise that muskrat caved. Blackmail and threats work. And any in chump’s orbit are candidates for bottom of bus strategy. Especially those who have helped him. Chump won’t forget his lapse in adoration.

As you said, cruelty is the point. I posted a newspaper heading saying just that during the first go around. The goal is destruction as fast and as complete as possible. Hope every magat voter suffers the slings and arrows of their vengeful god.

Trump is going to kill the World Cup, and then the Olympics. Who is going to want to come here if getting sent to Guantanamo is a possibility? I wonder if some players will decline to participate. I read a really good article from Wright Thompson about how Argentina still views the 1978 cup with shame, because it was when their dictatorship was in full swing. And they won the damn thing FFS!
