Senator John Kennedy (R-LA) wins the week with the phrase “fat guy layups.” We know exactly what you mean Senator! Thanks for the perfect phrase for it!

Even in a year that heavily favors Democratic candidates at every level, the DNC is borrowing money. That means gross mismanagement and an epic failure of leadership. Ken Martin has been a disaster since day 1. He needs to go, as do other figures in Democratic leadership. You’ve failed! Leave!

Worth pointing out that in 1956, a children's book adaptation of Homer was doing "woke" casting.

The trump administration is flailing. And failing. And taking more desperate actions. And corporate media is desperate to prop it up. Trump is a modern day later Nero, who also built monuments and slapped his name on things. Trump should pay attention to how the stories of many “great men” end.

I think “Democrats in disarray” has staying power in part because of its alliteration. So I propose “Republicans reeling” as an opposition phrase. Makes the point. Short. And alliterative!

There’s still a taboo in the media about describing Trump’s cognitive state. It’s rooted in the idea that the US President being insane sounds so preposterous that it must be an inaccurate slur. But it’s the hard truth. All of this is a result of Trump being an unstable narcissistic megalomaniac.

Like every other Trump scandal that's too vulgar to meet daytime TV standards, I bet a lot of people won't even see this one. A sitting president saying "fuck you" and flipping off an autoworker would've been considered a scandal in the pre-Trump era. www.tmz.com/2026/01/13/t...
