I hate that bitch. I mean, I really, really hate that bitch.

"Excuse me , I thought I was getting a cold sore" is crazy fucking funny and I really don't know why.

How can this person have any say in anything? There needs to be minimum standards. They don't have to onerous- like, "ignorant psychopaths shouldn't be lawmakers." would be ok. That would help a lot !

I can't believe we're having these conversations in a time of cataclysmic climate distress. In a thousand years Aliens will pick through the detritus of our ruined civilization and when they figure out what we were on about they will laugh until they do whatever the Tralfamadorian equivalent of "piss themselves" is.

Good column!

Poor Jimmy Earl – his spokesworman done went full loon.

Marge is really living her best life. If she had been born in a different era the most success she could ever hope to achieve would be as a carnival barker running a rigged Balloon and Dart or Ring Toss game. She’s a perennial American archetype with the savvy to know there’s a sucker born every minute and the skill required to exploit them.

"Margie in a corner!" is the new "Three-handed Mother of God!"

And "the Leprechaun" is a Simpson's reference, no?

Telling Ralphie Wiggen (surely a man of our time) to "burn it all"?

"so much they tried to keep the Biden Crime Family Head Joe Biden from being named President by an elitist College"

That's better than Homer Simpson telling Apu that in order for Apu to pass his citizenship test, he'll need to go back to the "Electrical College."

I’m scared that somehow this some sort of jinx.

Otherwise, funny AF. Amazing that that MTG, who is a living parody, can be parodied.

What I find most interesting about the Biden Crime Family is how confined it has remained to just the most intense fever-swamp people. I, unfortunately, get to rub up against a whole lot of conservative types who are more than happy to tell me that Joe Biden is senile, or that the election was questionable, or that vaccines are part of the One World Government plot. But I have not heard any of them talk about Hunter's laptop since about 2 years ago. This part of the program just doesn't seem to be gaining traction even among the believers in other fantastical nonsense.

I have to wonder if there's starting be to a falling away of Republicans. They loved and still love Donald Trump, but over the last 5 years, they have been asked to believe some really far-fetched stuff. And a substantial chunk of that stuff has been demonstrably, undeniably wrong. Prime example: JFK, Jr. is not dead and will be popping up ANY MINUTE NOW to prosecute all the Democrat groomers. There are dozens of other things they've been asked to believe that they now try mightily to forget were ever topics of discussion. But you can only take so much of this kind of thing before you start dismissing it all.

I think the only thing they have left that's got widespread traction is immigration, and even that is starting to come apart. One rather rabid conservative I know started ranting about how there are tens of thousands of Mexican young men sleeping on the streets in all the southern border towns, and all of these guys are rapists who don't want to work. This was the same guy who was telling me just a few weeks ago that Democrats love illegal immigrants so much that we give each illegal $5,000 cash a week, free housing, free healthcare, free cars, and other perks. So I had to ask: Why aren't these Mexican rapists living in their free housing or driving to other places in their free cars? He had no answer.

I admit that I am working my way thru the many links the boss posted in the strange missive above, and in the first one I find that the main point of contention is the adherence to Form 1023. Yes. The fascisti apparently are complaining that the form has not been appropriately followed. Grasping at forms replaces grasping at old white guy domination...

So much hysteria about generative AI and how "deep fakes" will make it impossible for any of us to know what's real and what's not, meanwhile the reality is Margorie Taylor Greene talking behind a manila folder. C'mon, we're Americans, you don't need no fancy technology to fool us.

I can smell corruption a mile away

Talk about the pot calling the kettle black.

It's all about forcing reality to conform to your belief. It's almost magic, you loudly proclaim what you want to be real, and you see your reality amplified back at you in media. When you're a big shot like Marge, you see it on television and newspapers, but any Jane Q. Public can do the same on Facebook or Twitter. Seeing it reflected back to you means it's real. You've always had friends at work, or church, the bar or the gun range, to bounce your belief off of and hear it back, but media is different. It's separate from your life and independent, and it agrees with you. It's a good feeling, being told you're right. So good that you can ignore the voices calling you wrong or bad, because media says you're right.
