When Texas turns blue, we need to swallow some pride, and make a LOUD point of thanking Trump. Make it well known that Trump supporting a primary candidate (Paxton), against Cornyn was a major factor in that happening. Make sure the MAGA nuts know who to blame!

This is a screen capture of an advertisement for a product called "Peeotus Projector".

It is a small light projector that attaches to a toilet and casts an image of Donald Trump into the bowl, so that a user can urinate onto that projected image.

The price listed is $34.99, which the website claims is 50% off.

Missouri Senator Eric Schmitt was somewhat successful at yesterday's Jack Smith hearing. He wanted to create a viral moment, and he did, the next morning it's all the buzz online and on TV! But, to his horror, it didn't make Jack Smith look bad, it made himself look like a fool. Thanks Eric!

Yes, Republicans. The entire news cycle on your moronic Jack Smith hearing will now be dominated by Eric Schmitt’s basketball game buffoonery and John ‘Foghorn Leghorn’ Kennedy asking Smith about the Easter Bunny and Tooth Fairy. Brilliant job, once again by the feckless fools.

Seriously? Grassley has a prepared statement he is reading, in response to Jack Smith's opening statement. Grassley claims Smith lied, and the Senator is somehow reading that from something prepared BEFORE Smith even said a word? How does that work?

And Hal answering:

A 4 panel comic strip style meme.  It features characters from the "Peanuts" cartoon strip.  3 of the panels show:
Lucy and Charlie Brown, with Lucy pulling the football away, and Charlie falling after trying to kick it.

The 4 panels all have a caption at the bottom, they are, in order:

Medicaid cut checks
Doge checks
Tarriff checks
Voting bribe checks.

The 4th panel shows Lucy holding the ball, and telling Charlie Brown "I really mean it this time"

Eric Cartman from South Park is in this panel, and he speaks to Charlie Brown saying "Dude, don't be stupid enough to fall for that again.

It's Labor Day weekend, that means it's also Burning Man weekend. No, I've never been, wanted to years ago, too expensive these days, and it really is something different from when it started. Anyway, these memes popped up as a memory from 3 years ago. It was muddy, glad I didn't go.
Image that shows a Burning Man participate walking through mud with a trash bag over their feet going up to their waist.

There is a text overlay that says:

"Go to Burning Man they said, It will be fun they said"An image of the desert where the Burning Man event is held.  It shows a 13 lane wide line of vehicles.

It captioned: 

"When you go out to the desert to get away from the hustle of the city, but you bring it with you".An image from inside a tent at Burning Man, showing people covered in desert dust.

It's captioned:
When you go to Burning Man, to connect with nature, and nature happens!

There are cartoon style world bubbles with participants saying "This sucks!",  "I wish they would let us go home" and "Yeah, but we're running  out of food, and fuel for the generator and the Porta-Jons are  full!"A staged image of a participant at Burning Man.  It is a woman, and we see her side profile, she is bent over, and her pants are down to her knees.  There is a rainbow in the background and the image is framed so it looks like the rainbow is emanating from her hind end.

It is captioned:

"Meanwhile, some people are making the best of things at Burning Man|... Here's a woman farting out rainbows!
