Retired worrier, but still concerned. Professional grandpa, but still learning. A lapsed Methodist, even though I stopped drinking and smoking. And finally a disappointed American, but I keep trying.

Tin soldiers and Hegseth coming. One scared kid with a rifle can cause a tragedy.

It is fucking Disney. DACO. Disney Always Chickens Out. I don't mind cowards in the theme park business but they are ill suited for the news business.

Shouldn't someone remind Donald that military parades can have unintended consequences. I suggest he have someone look up (because he cannot do that himself) the last military parade that Anwar Sadat attended. Oh and remind him that tanks on the streets of Washington doesn't make his dick bigger.

Just once can the journalist interviewing one of these jamokes ask where he/she got the quoted statistic or percentage? Last I checked TV hosts are paid to skeptical yet they consistently let ridiculous statements like this pass unquestioned.

Someone please tell Mikey, since he claims to be a follower, that the Lord our God really looks askance at lying. Plus us humans find it pretty insulting that he thinks that we believe this shit.

Elon behaves badly because he is a fucking drug addict. He should have never been let up from the basement.

In season 5 of The Wire, Bubbles' sister lets him live in her basement, compassion, but puts a padlock on the basement door, common sense. After Bubbles gets clean and makes some headway in life his sister invites him upstairs for dinner. Trust.

With apologies to these guys, but here goes:
Tweaker and the Taco man were hard up for cash
They stayed up all night selling Keto and trash.

A junkie is the Senate confirmed HHS Secretary. Please say that out loud to yourself. I'll wait. Now contemplate whether it is wise to let a "former rich kid who thought heroin was a good idea" make what are medical decisions for the rest of us.

She brings that Kellyanne Conway je ne sais quoi to the job. Liars are a dime a dozen in the magaverse, but to lie as shamelessly as Ms. Leavitt does, that's a rare talent my friend.

Alas you are probably correct my friend. A boy can dream though.

Hands down Bruce Springsteen, Mem Aud, Ohio University, Athens, Oh on 4/01/1976. It was a 2,000 seat venue that barely survived the evening. Afterwards you saw him around town.

Article 1 Section 9 Clause 8 would lead one to say yes, the is something Congress can do. Come on Congress, put this clusterfuck to a vote.

Yep, it does.
No Title of Nobility shall be granted by the United States: And no Person holding any Office of Profit or Trust under them, shall, without the Consent of the Congress, accept of any present, Emolument, Office, or Title, of any kind whatever, from any King, Prince, or foreign State.

Though nothing would thrill me more than to see Alito and Thomas perp walked to a waiting vehicle, it would be more effective after we take back both houses after the midterms. No need to let Donald name SC justices this time around.

Yes all of them are getting more chippy than would ever be tolerated at a local town council meeting. But that is all they have because they lie a lot and keep getting caught lying. Delusional Bobby Jr yesterday and that dipshit Zeldin today are prime examples.

Re: Charles Kushner
Why did you vote to confirm a convicted felon and certified evil person as ambassador to France? Since there was no plausible reason to do so one suspects shenanigans. What say you?

I was about to launch a screed of the extreme wealth makes one a dick variety but then I remembered that Warren Buffet, Bill Gates and even Jeff's ex-wife are pretty upstanding folks. So, the conclusion is that Jeff was just a dick all along.

Well I ain't buying Jake and the other guy's book. I would encourage everyone else to refrain also. I realize that some might consider 'Joe is old' to be Pentagon Papers level journalism, I'd counter that hey, that's a remarkable grasp of the obvious you have there my friend.

What is it with these people and the fucking planes? Sublime is in the rearview mirror and we have just blown past ridiculous.

A good moose and squirrel joke is the best joke. I look at her and I hear:
“Boris, dear, save the flattery for when we’re not about to be defeated by Moose and Squirrel.”

He really really really.....really wants that fucking plane. Did ABC think they could get between Donald and that plane? And they made him do a metaphor.

Every time I think that basket of deplorables has been emptied out, Donald reaches in and plucks another one from the bottom. He's mysophobic so I'm unclear how the actual extraction works. Tongs maybe?

This is beyond stupid. Gov. Mills put it best. Fuck you Ryan, we'll see your dumbass in court. Ok, maybe I embellished her response to Donald just a little bit.

He is a fucking junkie goddammit. You knew growing up to never believe a word a junkie says. They will lie without hesitation to get what they want. Apparently what Jr. wants now is a measles epidemic. He should have stuck with heroin.

During Donald's first go round the vendors I dealt with (multi-billion dollar industrial electronics distributors) all listed the tariff costs as a separate line item on their invoices. Bezos has that how high response to Donald's threats down pat.

I did not go to law school. In American history class we covered Marbury v. Madison when I attended a 400 kid high school in southern Ohio in the late sixties. Several decades later I assume that curriculum was still in place when JD was in high school.

Three of these five assholes are from my home state, Ohio. Now Ohio has foisted some doozies on the rest of the country, Warren fucking Harding springs to mind, but these three are a new level of POS.

A huge dose of self loathing put him on this path. He could have done the right thing and offed himself. Instead he chose ethnic cleansing as a better way to share his misery with the rest of us.

Wishful thinking my friend. You stated the obvious reason why. He's a dipshit. Oh, and a chat with Zelensky got him impeached that time. Donald is still not over that one.

Seems like Drunken Energetic Intercourse would be quite the morale booster. No wonder Joe's crew spent half a day on it.

Pete would not hesitate to order troops to fire on our fellow citizens if Donald told him to. That and Pete looks good to Donald on TV are why he's still around.

Working for the Russians appears to be a requirement to join this administration. Looking at Donald. Senator, how about we send this guy back to the USSR.
