Left the birdsite on Sink Day; hoping to reconstitute my feed. It's now been over a decade of my being annoyed that "djt" is no longer a viable handle anywhere.

You know, neither the Trump Ballroom™️ nor the Trump Arch™️ are complete. We’re still at war with Iran, and they surely still have drones. If those state-of-the-art facilities were done, DC would be impregnable — but as it is, broadcasting his specific location and time sounds like a dare.

I keep getting campaign mailers from Husted that insist that Sherrod Brown’s slavish devotion to the Left’s policies will cause runaway inflation. And I think about Pappy O’Daniel berating his idiot son, “How are we gonna run on reform when we’re the damn incumbent?!” youtu.be/W8AgOozM8KQ?...

Leviticus 19:19 says “Do not mate different kinds of animals. Do not plant your field with two kinds of seed. Do not wear clothing woven of two kinds of material.” That “Let’s Go Brandon” t-shirt looks like poly-cotton to me. Shall we stone the unbeliever?

It’s always fun to ask a MAGA type who wants to go back to the 1950’s what the top marginal rate was during the Eisenhower administration. They tend to guess a little low.

Not like this has been a problem going back decades or anything. www.ms.now/rachel-maddo...
For example, when Priorities informed a focus group that Romney supported the Ryan budget plan — and thus championed
"ending Medicare as we know it" _ while also advocating tax cuts for the wealthiest Americans, the respondents simply refused to believe any politician would do such a thing. [emphasis added]

When you are an implacable opponent of the Leopards Eating People’s Faces Party, it is only natural, when seeing a member of the Extra Biting wing of that party being leoparded, to say, “I told you so!” The amount of glee taken in pointing this out is up to the individual.

Is Joan Jett’s version of “I Love Rock ‘n Roll” the only pop song that has, as the express object of desire, an underage guy? God knows there are enough guys extolling the virtues of teenage girls, but I don’t recall the mirror image. (“Jet Boy Jet Girl” doesn’t count; the *singer* is underage.)

I was polled recently — they were testing messaging against my local D Rep. One attack line was “he wants children to transition without their parents knowing,” and I said that would make me “much more favorable” toward him. If he’s pro-trans kids, that’s a recommendation.
