Hey, friends who keep your eyes open! I saw a very funny photo-image of the post-Zelensky meeting, where all the world leaders were standing there holding their noses while #47 pointed his finger. Does anybody know where that image came from or exists. I've searched for it, but I can't find it!

Hi friends! Is there some internet censorship going on? Last night I found a heap of fun Gavin Newsome parody stuff, and now it seems to be gone. Maybe when we see these we need to recopy them fast so we can repost them. Does anybody know of a good site where they're all collected?

We've become so accustomed to lawbreaking that this probably won't ripple much, but it is important not to forget that firing the IRS Commissioner for refusing to break the law--if that's in fact what happened here--would and should prompt immediate articles of impeachment in any other presidency.

There is no justification for the aggressive behavior displayed today toward Senator Padilla. This is a U.S. Senator. In a federal building. In his own state, doing his job. If they can handle a Senator like this, they can do this to anybody. It is an authoritarian response.
