your response to “I was raped” should not be “I was right”
4 panel comic

Panel 1:
A Purple Woman looks distraught, on the verge of breaking down. She says “that man raped me”
Orange Guy standing next to her is absent-mindedly checking his nails. He says “Wellll, I’ve always disliked him and his work.”

Panel 2:
Purple Woman begins to cry. Orange Guy adopts an incredibly smug expression and says “Guess I must just be a good judge of character”

Panel 3: 
Purple Woman dissolves into sobs. Orange  Guy notices, puts his hand on her shoulder and says “Aw”

Panel 4:
Purple Woman crumples to the floor. Orange Guy, looking bemused, asks “Are you crying because you’re jealous of how smart I am?”

If the ballroom gets built, the next President should just start knocking down the Supreme Court building one day. Throw up some cubicles in the ballroom and tell them they can work out of there until a new one is built.

We are at an impasse. There’s a candy bowl at work that gets filled up by variety pack. The problem is, no one wants to eat the mini Milky Way bars, so the bowl is now full of only those and hasn’t been touched for months. No one wants to waste them but no one wants to eat them either. A stalemate.

Is anybody else constitutionally unable to watch those YouTube channels where there's a low throbbing hum in the background the whole time? I think it's supposed to keep me tuned in but what it does is make me want to throw things violently around the room. Maybe I have an anxiety problem?

If we pile more debt on younger generations to provide Trump with an even bigger arsenal of missiles and weapons than the one he just burned through shooting them off all over the world, what do you think he is going to do with them? Stockpile them for the next president?

The silly little ritual of Supreme Court opinion days is a perfect illustration of the justices’ self-absorption. “We’re gonna decide cases but it’s a SURPRISE which ones, so just keep refreshing this browser tab to find out who still has civil rights!” Profoundly stupid institution. I loathe it.

This has to be the funniest question AND response I've ever seen in a poll. Less than half of Republican men think they could beat Trump in a fight. What a bunch of pathetic losers.
Democratic women are more likely than Republican men to say they could win a fight with Donald Trump
Who do you think would win in a physical fight between you and Donald Trump? (%)


Bar chart shows the following think they would win in a fight vs Trump

Dem men: 82%
Dem women: 71%
Independent men; 69%
Independent women: 46%
Republican men: 46%
Republican women: 19%

This hits at multiple levels. One is, wouldn't books about cats and squirrels actually be very popular with dogs? But then you realize, humans only ban books that other humans want to read. Which points out that banning books is really about thought control.

White-collar crime (fraud, insider trading, etc) is now legal in America. Wall Street has captured the Department of Justice and as long as you pay off the Trump family, you can now steal as much as you want from the American people.

This is all just so stupid. There will NEVER be any sort of "deal" or "agreement" with Iran on anything. They know Trump can never be trusted to hold up his end of ANY deal. And that's never going to change. Trump has no credibility left with anyone anymore.

I actually think they should try to pass articles of impeachment on a daily basis for literally everything he does that breaks that law. Like, instead of pretending it's not political, use it as a vehicle to make it clear just how extraordinarily corrupt this asshole is.

I'd really like to see leadership calling for impeachment and removal, regardless of whether they have the votes to get it done. Same way we called for marriage equality before we had the votes. A leader's job is to lead. If a genocidal threat isn't impeachable, then nothing is.

Set aside for the moment that non-citizen voting is neither an actual problem nor something almost anyone supports. This is the MAGA worldview in a nutshell: “If the people I don’t like get what I have, I won’t be special anymore.” We should all be better than this.
Basic Bitch Mike Lee on TwiXter:

If everyone is given the benefit of U.S. citizenship, then your U.S. citizenship becomes less meaningful.
If noncitizens are allowed to vote, they can cancel out your vote.
This is why the Senate must pass the SAVE
America Act.

I'm expecting a wheelbarrow-full of pardons for insider trading on January 19, 2029. Note that the prospect of those pardons helps to keep subordinates in line. Corrupt-cop style, make sure that lots of people get a little taste, then make clear that the pardon depends on continued loyalty.

After the midterms, a lot of people are thinking about impeachment, but I think it could be heart warming to think further ahead than that. After all these war crimes, doesn't it seem like the only way to make up to Iran and the world is to let Trump stand trial in an Iranian court?

did you know Iran used to be a western-style democracy, with an elected prime minister? but then one day in 1953, the CIA ousted him in a coup, and restored the repressive and corrupt Shah to power — that's REALLY how this mess all got started. you can read all about it in my post: bit.ly/4lfWn7c
everything was hunky-dory until 1953. that’s when shit truly went sideways, after Mossadegh broke the eleventh commandment — Thou Shalt Not Fuck With Big Oil — by nationalizing Iran’s oil industry. our CIA and Britain’s MI6 got themselves worked into a Big Mad over this, and engineered a coup that overthrew Mossadegh and turned Iran back into a monarchy, restoring Reza Pahlavi as the Shah.

the thing about the Shah of Iran is that he was a repressive piece of shit who was hated by his people, and his fuckery led to the Iranian Revolution of 1979 — and that’s how Iran went from being a repressive monarchy to being a repressive theocracy. meet the new boss, yadda yadda.

that’s why we’re in this mess right now — because we couldn’t leave well enough alone 73 years ago.
