The Great Escape from New York, New York. A ragtag group of POWs in a city turned into a prison try to escape from Liza Minnelli and Robert De Niro.

Oh. And as a civil servant, I would add in investigations of career bureaucrats who violated their oaths of office and aided and abetted in the criminal activities. “I was only following orders….” Where have I heard that before?

I’m not seeing a downside to this, Mike. It actually sounds like elected officials are going to use the government for one of the reasons that it was designed for. You first, Mikey.

Well, I guess that it’s a very cartoon thing. Not only do they not stop, they just hit and squash whoever is in the road, and then just keep going. That’s my pet peeve in live action movies. “Planes, Trains, and Automobiles.” Both semis just keep going after doing the obligatory horn blast.

You can’t just expend stuff like this until you can build stuff like this.

The very worst thing about graduate school is having to be around people like these. Intelligence with no wisdom or understanding. Richard Nixon had intelligence. Edith Bunker was as wise as hell.

Very good work. I just realized that I have some of your models in my Daz Product Library. Keep up the great work.

And the good people and neighbors of Springfield, Ohio, still voted for Trump and Vance, even after they made ridiculous accusations about the Haitians during the campaign. Let’s rightly condemn the administration is doing this. But every Republican voter in that town is even more culpable.

I think everyone is getting this wrong. It’s not a bunch of diapers. Do you know how much space a full leather dominatrix outfit takes? The boots alone take up a normal sized carryon. Add in the whips and the gags, and her bag’s about the right size.

He can’t be impeached. And expulsion requires a two-thirds majority. He can’t be recalled. But he is nothing without a staff. Make working for him so odious that no one who works for him will ever be hired again. They voluntarily sign up to work for him. Make them pay for their decision.

Hey, Wes. Haven’t heard from you since the election. I thought that we were besties after all of the constant emails and phone calls. My rental loft is still leaking after three years. Remember when I asked you about that? But foreign military sales to Israel and Saudi Arabia are more important

Really, all you have to do is look at a photo of Ti West. What a smarmy insufferable face. A perfect example of Backpfeifengesicht. As for Depp, he’s the way over tattooed barista who “mistakenly” mispronounces customers names and is the reason Glassdoor has dozens of comments from female workers.

THIS is our line in the sand. No, sorry, THIS is now our line in the sand. That previous line was ill-advised and too forceful. THIS is our line in the sand. Do not dare cross this line…that is now HERE. According to our analysts and focus groups, THIS line is our line in the sand….

I grew up in the culture and environment that produces these voters. They are my relatives, neighbors, coworkers. And yes, I can confirm that that they vote for psychotic morons because they are even more stupid and hateful and racist than the morons that they vote for.

Yes! I worked in CS at DHL Express for over 20 years. A long time ago, they fired every non-San Francisco driver (because they were union) over the Labor Day weekend (yes, really). It snarled things so bad and lost so much money that DHL dropped their domestic US service. It’s not just Amazon.

I haven’t heard a peep out of Bell for over the past year and a half, but for the past two months, suddenly he’s my best buddy with almost daily robocalls, texts, and mail. Finally I can go back to being ignored by him and his office.

It’s a musical instrument. And he’s the alien equivalent of AC/DC. Can’t sing, can’t play an instrument part that has more than 4 chords, and produces songs that are written for 15-year-old males.

For the first time in my life, I was finally able to live in a place that I had picked and really wanted to live in. I’ve spent all of my adult life living in rentals where I could, or needed to, live instead of wanting to live. Fuckers.

Unlike my place, it has a stunning view of the neighboring apartment buildings and parking lots. But also a big abandoned factory building. Yay! I moved in here because I really liked it and it has a great view of downtown St. Louis.

Well, the apartment managers are forcing me to move out as soon as possible, as the leaking roof that they never repaired apparently makes my loft unsafe and uninhabitable. They will pay for my move into another unit on the same floor.

A bald, rather stupid cracker who had a winning scratch-off ticket in ‘92. He’s been using that ticket ever since then. Of course, it’s falling apart, mostly illegible, and stinks of stale cigarettes and urine, but it’s his big winning ticket, and he’ll tell you that that it was all skill to win.

It’s more than past time to yank the religion tax exempt status. For decades now, they have been telling people from the pulpit about who to vote for. It’s always been a stupid law - let’s all pretend that religions are somehow not required to contribute to the society that protects them.

During WWII, Allied soldiers marveled at what they saw as an abundance of food supplies for American forces. Navy ships had ice cream makers. And don’t forget the millions of a certain wasp-shaped 8 oz bottle. Now we can’t plan or supply enough to supply even basic food needs.

Yes, like as a kid watching the Apollo missions in the midst of the Vietnam War. We were napalming civilians while sending men to the moon. Even as an eight-year-old, it didn’t feel like an alternate time line. It just felt very wrong to me.

I work for the IRS Customer Assistance. The Republicans have made it so hard for other than wealthy people to file their taxes. And I have to tell working class taxpayers (with the landlord yelling in the background) that their refund is indefinitely delayed because we have to verify their EITC…

MAGA has a lot of the ‘80s survivalist veterans. But now living “off the grid” is somehow Libtard? In my misspent youth I had subscriptions to Survivalist magazines. They were talking about fuel cells and batteries and wind and solar energy. Which also happened to be good for the environment….

What are you going to do about? Furrow your brow? Write a sternly worded letter? Pivot to how bad inflation is, because that is what your consultants tell you that is what l (your constituent) am mostly worried about? I care about unlawful murders by this administration. DO something!

So now we’re going to change the name of the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America. I would complain, but I don’t want Donnie wishing me to the cornfield. Happy thoughts, happy thoughts….
