FFS… Is it really an accident anymore at this point?

Dems should agree to allow all ICE funding to be transferred to the #Pentagon, if they're running out of money. Problem solved. #Hegseth

Oh it's Bastille Day! I sorta wish I was still the kind of person that would go day-drinking in some ex-pat bar to cheer on my ma nation maternelle, but hopefully if they win, I can get someone to join me somewhere for the final. Meanwhile, enjoy my annual mistranslation of La Marseillaise

This will probably only make laugh the 65 or older set, but what the shirtless #Waymo destroyer finally reminded me of just popped in my head.

The narrative of the conniving woman can be traced all the way back to Adam and Eve. As if she would even been the one the snake successfully tempted. You know damn well it would have been Adam #GrahamPlatner #MeToo

Reading the letter from my Dad to his kids written on #July4, 1969, I am reminded of all the ways he was the ultimate decent American man, the opposite of the ogre in the WH. open.substack.com/pub/markolms...

Arguably, Obama was the most gobbledy-gook of recent Democrats, who I find universally have gotten the memo about simplifying their language. It's not why they hate us. markolmsted.substack.com/p/why-exactl...

It's like he's getting his life force from the camera trained on him, and whenever he's away from it, he feels it draining. He hates sleep, because he's not on camera and that feels like death.

I wonder if gas prices have to go this high before we have a mass uprising that results in the Mussolini-like ending deserved by this fascist clown.

He disappointed because Cole failed. It would have been a glorious way to go out - best ratings ever. All sins forgotten, monuments built. Anything better that going out like his father or via impeachment. He wants to go out a winner. He coulda been a Kennedy. Damn Secret Service.

When considering how to compose his next speech, I think Pete Hegseth might be inspired by a different scene in Pulp Fiction.

I can't help but notice that he's calling it "The Triumphal Arch." Notice what letters you can't spell "Triumphal" without? How much you wanna bet this is his design?

Though a lapsed Catholic, I still won't go full photoshop in a depiction of the orange one in Mount Gethesmane agony. But it is the seminal event in Christ's life that I would happily see the Orange one actual suffer through. An evocation will have to do.

With the chaos of flying, and the expense of driving, I thank my lucky stars that we have these fabulous bullet trains that crisscross the country at high speed. Thank God this was a no-brainer that red and blue states could agree on decades ago and have continued to pursue and build on since

I'm actually shocked that Trump allowed this out. The murder allegations are quite jaw-dropping.

Why is absolutely no one suggesting bringing the border bill originally rejected by Trump for political reasons back up from consideration? Let him declare victory and when we're back in power we can modify some of the objectionable aspects of the bill. #Immigration #minnesota
