I still want them to go back to their classic all-cheese helms and hauberks. With modern refrigeration, they won't all perish from listeria now.

Republicans have heard the criticism that they are an obstructionist party that is only against things, never for. Methinks they've finally found their platform!

Ahh yes, "War is Peace". In the 1880's, I tested the Infinite Monkey theorem with a troop of one hundred Chacma baboons. When one of them wrote that and then showed it to his fellows, they all beat him to death with their typewriters.

One of the most important functions of DACOWITS is to address rampant sexual harassment and assault in our military. Which would seem to be why our blackguardly, domestic abusing brute of a Defense Secretary has just scragged it.

In light of Vance's unhinged and fantastical comments that liberals commit more political violence, I repost this photo, wherein Mike Pence watches (on his daughter's phone) video of Trump praising the J6 rioters who wanted to hang the VP. And the daughter is WICKED pissed.

A Mother's grief knows no bounds. 😥 In 1801 I tragically injured an orca calf while attempting to examine it, and the mother carried me on her nose for 3 weeks. She later disgustedly dumped me into a herd of elephant seals on Macquarie Island.

White Supremacist Reaganites in the 1980's used to theorize that inner city ghettos would spawn a "predator class", and society would never be safe again. Frustrated at a lack of results, they went ahead and parented their own generation of predators and sociopaths. rockinst.org/gun-violence...

This headline was quite triggering. I myself turned off the hydrogen on Count Von Zeppelin's LZ-1 airship while we were at 10,000 ft, and I was violently tackled and hogtied by the other passengers. In my defense, I was trying to light a doob without giving us all the Hindenburg treatment.

Oh, he's for sure in hospice at this point, if not on life support and hooked up to machines. I've been party to highly complex (and competent) schemes to keep a president "alive and governing" before, and worse. Zachary Taylor was as dead as a doornail before he even won the election.
