A Cybertruck driver was circling and looking for parking at the farmers’ market in Baltimore this morning. I’ve never seen so many death stares or heard so many cackles.

Can we all agree that every American who is not an indigenous person has benefitted from birthright citizenship somewhere in his/her/their ancestry?

1) He is correct, 2) no one gives a shit about Club World Cup, 3) ❤️ Klopp ❤️

Amazing how the point of contention for the GOP and “America First” is Iran. Should we bomb it? Should we stay out? Should we bomb it more and harder? They can agree that people shouldn’t have healthcare or bodily autonomy or privacy or safety from goons, but bombing Iran is where they disagree.

I’ve no doubt that Pete’s been practicing his moves and that his search history includes “Hitler hand gestures.”

United States, my ass. Fragmented and effed.

Idea: Instead of starting wars to keep from going to jail when you’re a convicted felon or you’re wanted internationally, don’t be a shithead and criminal in the first place.

“In a letter to The Times, a personal lawyer for the president said the newspaper’s article had damaged Mr. Trump’s reputation…” Right. His reputation was sterling until this.

Peter Thiel looks like Roy Cohn if Cohn had gone to the gym to lift a little instead of just cruise.

It’s insane that this needs said, but it does. And still, there will be Dems who vote to confirm. Also deeply troubling is how we no longer include Republican senators in this because we know they don’t think for themselves or stand up for the law or their constituents. Bove is a danger to America.

If I believed in rock-bottom, this would be it. But tomorrow, they’ll go lower still. Totally and completely unhinged, deranged, insane, and desperate.

We shouldn’t expect better or different from McConnell. He met his decency limit for the decade when he voted no on confirming RFK Jr.

Emil Bove's resemblance to Max Schreck as Nosferatu is uncanny. No Ancestrydotcom required. Also, avoid the 2024 Nosferatu remake just as you would avoid the plague Nosferatu unleashes while on the boat. RATS!

Let's take a moment to revisit Danielle Sassoon's resignation letter and Emil Bove's response re: the Eric Adams case. He is a deplorable human being (or ghoul as I suspect). www.cnn.com/2025/02/13/p...

This is a BFD and more history erasure and rewriting. These records belong to us. I hope courageous lawyers will challenge this.

Reminder that Emil Bove is only 44 and also a ghoul.

I’d prefer it were 70 and I could open windows, but it’s 99 in Baltimore, full sun, no breeze, real feel of 108. For those saying turn AC off or down, how about you 1) admit climate change is real, 2) support wind, solar, and other renewable energy, and 3) stop using all the power to mine crypto?

Step 1: Admit you have a problem. Okay, we have a huge problem.

We never learn.

Can you imagine how much shit Obama would have taken if he wore a ball cap in meetings? It would be like tan suit plus Dijon mustard times a million.

He wants to be America’s evangelical ayatollah. Think about the similarities.

Given the dissatisfaction with Dems and Repubs, now seems the time to re-form our political system to 1) include multiple high-focus parties where voters support what matters to them instead of voting for a perceived lesser of two evils, 2) ditch the Electoral College, 3) use a standardized ballot.

When the least intelligent people make decisions based on bad or no intelligence, well, you can see how it goes. Heaven help us all.

Look, he bombed Iran because he’s always wanted to, Netanyahu gave him an excuse, Petey likes to play GI Joes with American soldiers, and JD likes getting his troll on. There is no reason and there is no plan, there is only a lack of impulse control a measuring contest of tiny dicks.

There is no such thing as the past, only what has come before shaping the present. www.thebaltimorebanner.com/community/ho...

“He was going there expecting to just have a check-in, like he was supposed to be doing, and then they took him away. It was almost like he got trapped, which just doesn’t seem fair.”

His posts, prepared remarks, and off-the-cuff responses indicate that we are now in full Orwell-1984 mode. War is peace. Freedom is slavery. Ignorance is strength.

Dems writing “strongly worded letters” and “demanding hearings” is working about as well as expected. And they just keep doing it and crowing about how they’re doing something.

“Justice for the fruit man!” May it be so.

They shouldn’t count people struggling not to get kidnapped by masked goons and thrown into unmarked vans as assault — unless they count them as assaults they commit.

Nothing exemplifies mid-Atlantic summer like taking a shower, getting dressed, and walking your dog at 7:00 AM only to return 25 minutes later sweat-soaked and needing to shower again and change clothes. And then doing this daily until well into September.

You have got to be kidding. “Americans Are Thriving. Why Don’t We Feel Like It?”

Rafael Edward Cruz looks like a mangy badger.

Clyburn lost me after that catastrophic first debate when he’d only respond “I’m ridin’ with Biden” when asked how Dems should proceed.

Bless her for doing what no one else will. Likely to succeed? No. But it’s something, it’s real and true, it calls out specifics, it throws a spanner in their works, it pushes back, and it’s not purely a stunt. This should have been done years ago.

AI has no redeeming qualities and ruins everything it touches.

Stories starting to come out about Anne Burrell being found near a lot of pills. Trust me, anyone over 50 is never far from a lot of pills because we all have 5-12 prescriptions.

I’m not a military historian, but I’m pretty sure saying this publicly is not far behind Heggy and the Houthis in terms of strategy and ops.

Tragedy for the family, the neighborhood, Baltimore, and the Arabber tradition. More questions about police ID'ing themselves (or not) when rolling up unmarked. It has been 10 years since Freddie Gray was killed and 9 since the killers were acquitted. About Baltimore's unique Arabbers: arabbers.com
