Ok. I’m presuming that there are hundreds of tickets left based on the DeGOP’s demonstrated ability to get people to show up at things.   

Also Today: Biden’s lawyers discover classified materials and immediately contact the appropriate agencies to inform them of the situation to get things returned as quickly and forthright as possible. So obviously he deserves to be impeached for it.

Trump really has a hold on those idiots. TBH, 81% is actually a higher than I expected.   (In a recent CBS News-You Gov poll) 81 percent of registered Republican respondents said that they want potential GOP candidates to have similar “policies and proposals” to Trump, while 19 percent want them to have different ones. … More […]

Song of the Day 1/8: Prince and the Revolution, “Let’s Go Crazy”

Filed in Arts and Entertainment by on January 8, 2023 1 Comment

Now that Kevin McCarthy has handed the loonies the keys to the new 2023 Congressmobile, they need a song to play on the radio — a theme song, if you will. How about this Prince number from 1984’s “Purple Rain”? Though you could make the argument that the so-called Freedom Caucus doesn’t have to go […]

The Sham That Is Trump-Style Populism: This crisis is entirely of the party’s own making. For decades it has whipped its base into a righteous fury by promising radical policies that offer emotional satisfaction to their hardline constituents — from rolling back Medicare and Social Security to defaulting on the national debt to eliminating whole […]

Gun Nutism Running Riot in Maryland – OK to bring guns to school provided you don’t shoot anyone

The fallacy that animates all gun-nutism is that gun owners are all perfectly rational and reasonable up until the moment they pull the trigger.

Under new Maryland law, student doesn’t face charges after bringing gun to school


Police say a 12-year-old boy brought a gun to MacArthur Middle School on Jan. 5, 2023. (Anne Arundel County police)

A 12-year-old boy escaped legal consequences after he brought a gun to school earlier this week, according to Anne Arundel County police.

On Thursday, police say the school resource officer at MacArthur Middle School was notified of a 12-year-old student who had a handgun, loaded magazine, and loose ammunition in a bag at the school.

The school says an investigation found that a handgun and magazine were found inside the fanny pack, but the gun was not loaded with bullets inside of the chamber; only a magazine with ammunition was found inside of the gun.

If this Trans Rights Map Holds Up, Biden Wins by 2 EC Votes

I plotted the states with Trans Protections vs Trans Antagonism on the Electoral College map and if Trans views correspond to Presidential preference, Joe Biden holds a very narrow lead.   Erin Reed is a researcher, mother, content creator, activist, writer and a transwoman who works “to achieve gender justice for queer and marginalized people through […]

Matt Gaetz admitted that he finally voted “present” to allow Kevin McCarthy to become Speaker of the House because he had run out of things to ask for. McCarthy failed to learn the lesson Paul Ryan and John Boehner so clearly laid out for him — if you cede the power of the position, there’s […]

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 […]

MCCARTHY AGREES TO SUPPORT PUTIN’S WAR AGAINST UKRAINE AND TO DEFAULT ON THE DEBT IN ORDER TO BECOME SPEAKER OF THE HOUSE

Filed in National by on January 6, 2023 6 Comments

That headline is from LGM. I don’t think it is hyperbole. He gave away a lot. It looks like Putin and people who want the United States to default and crash the world economy (because that is bad for Biden) won. Of course President Manchin (WV) could have taken the debt ceiling thing off the table, but empowering shitheads and creeps is the new big thing in Washington.

We all know Kevin McCarthy isn’t the brightest bulb on the GOP Christmas tree — to be fair, a lot of those lights don’t work at all — so I’m guessing he’s never heard about Sisyphus. If he had he might not keep doing the same thing over and over again expecting a different outcome. […]

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 […]
