McCarthy Completes Blow Job Just In Time For Gaetz To Cum To His Rescue. I’m not the most scatological contributor on here, but no other metaphor will suffice. This could well be the Worst Figurative Blowjob In HISTORY. Haven’t scoured the intertubes yet, but I’m sure I’m not the only one to come cum to […]

Remind me again–who were the Rethug House members who voted to throw out the Presidential election results from 2020? Never mind. Here they are. Gee, sure seems like it’s a whole lot more than the ‘bomb-throwers’ who the McCarthy forces are castigating. Including McCarthy himself and the so-called ‘compromise’ candidate Steve Scalise. I don’t think […]

Dems Blowing a Great Opportunity to Fuck With the GOP
Just imagine the (even more) chaotic shitmess that would ensue in the Republican Party if Democrats offered to help “save” McCarthy.
House Democratic Caucus Chair Hakeem Jeffries mentioned to CNN that he would release 10 Democratic votes to McCarthy to settle the “nonsense and ridiculousness” that the GOP is putting itself through.
I happen to love the idea.
It will never happen.
Also today – Southwest ads insult to injury.

Will Donald Trump be brought to justice in 2023? If so, on which grounds? Would it be for his treasonous role in the Jan. 6 failed coup? His many apparent tax crimes? Michael Smerconish, the reasonable-conservative pundit, says indictment is most likely in the stolen-documents case because special counsel Jack Smith is a bulldog whose […]

Let’s see–went to bed at halftime of the Ohio State-Georgia game. So, I’m only a little hung over, and I’ve had my first dose of morning caffeine.

There’s Always A Delaware Connection. The Rethugs know that they had a disastrous 2022 national election.

There was so little news yesterday that media has been reduced to carrying the brainless ramblings of America’s most disgraced former president. His latest fantasy included the baseless notion that he’s immune from prosecution, which he most definitely is not. The Brazilian criminal George Santos, who got elected to Congress thanks to the incredible ineptitute […]

Good morning, yule survivors. Hope your holiday was happy. I spent part of mine wondering how anti-Semites reconcile their love of Jesus with the fact that he was born, lived and died a Jew. I’m pretty sure the election of George Santos, the con man/congressman-elect from New York, is not the sign of a healthy […]
