In testimony to Congress, Kash Patel defended removing bestiality as an automatic disqualifier for FBI applicants. In fairness to Mr. Patel, he’s in a tough spot here. When your president has a reputation for thoroughly screwing the nation’s beef industry, all bets are off the table.

if Ross was so traumatized by his previous encounter -being dragged by a car-perhaps he should be on leave, receiving help from a mental health expert, until he recovers instead of being let loose with a gun.

I think a thing we'll learn tonight is that people fucking hate what is going on and they will straight ticket vote against anyone involved in starving people while pillaging the country and kidnapping their neighbors. I don't think it matters at all who that person is.

My favorite evergreen Molly Ivins quote: "I prefer someone who burns the flag and then wraps themselves up in the Constitution over someone who burns the Constitution and then wraps themselves up in the flag."
Molly Ivins, dressed in a sort of satin blouse with a neckthing that I'm going to call a scarf?.  She's smiling with every cell in her body.  Beaming radiantly the joy of being righteous and kind at the same time.  Her eyes closed almost to a squint, and every pearly white on display.  Gods bless you, Molly, you were a hell of a person.

CALLS ARE WORKING - it has bought us precious time, but we NEED to keep the pressure up. Tomorrow is the cloture vote. KEEP CALLING: (202) 224-3121 ☎️☎️☎️ Tell your Dem Senator to vote NO on Cloture and NO on the Republican spending bill. Do NOT assume your Senator will be good on this. Trust me.

What he said about Social Security payments has been repeatedly debunked - so the question isn’t whether he’s lying about this, the question is why. What is this a pretext for? He and the GOP have long shown interest in going after Social Security. What are they going to try?

If Denmark invaded the US you would have free Healthcare, the minimum wage would triple, billionaires would pay tax, and you would be the happiest country in the world. If you agree throw Donald Trump and Elon Musk in the harbor and raise the flag.

People criticizing the Hunter Biden pardon need to recognize: For the 1st time, the FBI and Justice Department could literally fabricate evidence, or collaborate with a foreign government to “find” evidence of a “crime,” with zero accountability. That’s why the pardon goes back to 2014. Think, McFly
