Zelenskyy came to play cards and kick Ruskie butt. And he's all out of cards.

Ok, I'm ready to start seeing TACO lapel pins in Congress. LFG.

Karoline Leavitt: never have I vacillated so much between wanting to punch someone in the face and give them a hug. Like, "friend, you were totally groomed by that guy"; but, also, "friend, fuck your lies."

Instead of having no tax on tips, why don't we force employers to pay a living wage that doesn't take tips into account? People in traditionally tipped industries will likely do better, we don't introduce confusion to the tax code, and we get a handle on a tipping culture that is out of control.

JD Vance was all for Ashley Madison until someone told him it wasn't the same as Ashley HomeStore.

Made the mistake of heading over to that other place to check the comments on Noem's "suck it" post. Yeah, I need to go take a couple of very hot showers to get off the filth.

The Vatican: Sure, MAGA, you can have an American Pope. But you aren't going to like him...

I don't endorse violence or capital punishment. Instead, when this is all over an done with, could we march the fascists through the streets of D.C. Game of Thrones style? Like with the bells and cries of "Shame, Shame" and everything.

Get out there and vote Canadians. Do better than we did last November.
