Some Hessians know me as the greyrat. Lumbar spine full of arthritis and stenosis but currently mostly asymptomatic. Less than 90 days to retirement from a job I despise, but I'll never make it. Afraid for my non-conforming friends and acquaintances

The US civil war was supposed to last a few weeks. So was World War I. There are many other examples... War is never a quick in and out.

<sarcasm>How dare you impugn my senator! My senator from the great state of Mizzoooruh!</sarcam> I mean, he was just trying to lower the intellectual bar for the Republican party to meet their new requirements. GO GOPHERS!

It shows the level of pathetic in the modern republican party that a senator can't see that a witness is *not* perjuring themselves. Eric, and I presume many other republicans, have such low intellects that they can't even read a room. They expect others to be just as stupid. What a bunch of slugs.

Every time fuckface alorange thinks he can get away with something, he tries it. I think not having press there, even if if is just the flacid and craven MSM, it's better than nothing.

The next step for the Republicans will be to sue, delay, refuse to seat the newly elected representatives, and do as much damage as they can in the interim. Not like we did see this coming too.

Think everything will be OK when sane people take over again? Think again: "Scientists don’t need a flag. They need a lab, a budget, students who won’t be deported, and a government that doesn’t fire them for publishing the wrong result."

Ya' know, the fraud and anti money laundering organizations in all financial institutions are nothing to sneeze at. Capital One was EXTREMELY GRACIOUS - perhaps even treading the edge of the ethics line - in handling the Trump Orgs accounts. And this fucking sack of shit is running the country?

With the US debt surpassing GDP, why aren't all the "fiscally responsible" Republicans all up in arms? Are they just waiting until they are no longer the majority party so they can campaign on it like they've done every other time?

At 11:15 this morning, the sitting President of the United States published a post on his own social media platform, Truth Social. Exactly one hour and 25 minutes later, he published another. Taken in...

One of the priests at the church I cantored at (as a full on atheist, but they didn't know that. I just enjoyed singing) was a tiny Sicilian who confided with the choir that he just enjoyed aiming at people's glasses. 🤣
