I am so tired of a majority of Democratic leaders supporting the right things for all the wrong reasons or for stupid reasons or for non-relatable reasons. It’s so exhausting. This is why they’ve been losing so often for so long. They’ve forgotten how to interact with normal people. 😑

Well, the process of exiting Santa season & returning to the mortal realms has begun. I’m shifting into my mid-winter form. Another downside of the post-holiday period is I can no longer eat anything & everything without regret. See how much less happy I seem?!? 😂 🎅🏻

I see that Melania chose to wear her Hamburglar hat to honor the criminals in the nation--and next to her.

Yep… 😏

Jeff Bezos never wanted this cartoon to become public. He killed it, and as a result, pulitzer prize editorial cartoonist Ann Telnaes quit. Make sure everyone sees this cartoon.

Ann Telnaes deserves praise for sacrificing her job at the disgraced Washington Post in service of journalistic independence open.substack.com/pub/anntelna...

A social distancing cheat chart:

They eat a cold carb They eat a hot carb They eat a cheesy carb They eat a chocolate carb They eat a carb that remind them of the good times They eat a carb that reminds them of the best times

It’s December 26th the saddest day of the year for so many. I have stated for many years that I love the beginning of Fall & the run up to Halloween, Thanksgiving, & Christmas. The rush of the holidays & the joy & excitement in the air is the best feeling! Then it’s all over. I miss it already… 🎃🦃🎅🏻

Who let Elon get his hands on the crayons? 😏

I love how people think those little cheese knives are for serving cheese, like awwww that's cute no those are for *defending* your cheese, trust no one

I want to use this place not just as a platform to stand up for the idea of being a good human & railing against all the insanity, but also for finding, recognizing, & sharing joy. I think sometimes we get so consumed with outrage (justly so) that we forget what we are fighting for. Find Your Joy!

Just streamed the movie Red One on Amazon one month after it flopped in theaters. But here's the deal… I have a soft spot for action movies that are stupid. Exhibit A: Armageddon. Red One is what would happen if the MCU and Armageddon had a baby at Christmas. It is stupid, but it is fun. 🥴🎅🏻🎄

If you’re going to mourn, mourn for the parents bankrupted trying to save their children. Mourn for the cancer patients who died because their treatment was “too expensive.”

Congratulations everyone willing to sacrifice American excellence, pride and freedom (just to start) for better egg prices that you were never going to get in the first place. I’ll remember your ignorance and apathy with every family ripped apart.

What do I want for Christmas? A mysterious manor in the Scottish countryside, a vast expanse of land, a library of vintage novels, a collection of the world’s rarest wines, an owl to deliver and retrieve my post, and my own personal pastry chef. I'm really not that hard to shop for.

And do not pregame either!! 🎅🏻🎄🎉

Pot, meet kettle…

Thou shalt not kill' also means 'thou shalt not let profit margins decide who lives and who dies.'

Sorry I put aviator sunglasses on the baby Jesus in your nativity scene and started singing “Highway to the manger zone.”

Truth hurts, doesn’t it? It’s odd that there’s no $50k bounty on insurance companies that deny life-saving procedures or meds, leading to countless deaths. It’s equally bad when a CEO clearly has more human rights than a poor chump who paid into insurance their whole life just to be denied care.

Preach!

With each passing day, my tolerance level for delusional evangelical christians in the US gets lower and lower. 🙄

It is concerning when you think about it…

He will live in infamy because history is written by dispassionate scholars based on facts, not ideological political extremists living in their own reality. #NoNamesNeeded

It’s been reported that shoppers spent $10.8 billion on Black Friday & another $13.3 billion on Cyber Monday, representing a 10% increase year over year. Tell me again how people can’t afford eggs & milk and how the economy is so bad under Biden. Seems to me like they’ve got money to buy 4K TVs.

🇺🇸Today, we remember those who lost their lives at Pearl Harbor 83 years ago. We shall remain eternally grateful for their service, and forever honor their memory.

Hello friendos Your librarian here with the library tip Your library might have a collection of Useful Things you can check out for personal use. Anything from tools to baking pans to garden seeds to home projectors to toys to science kits to sports equipment to music instruments. Take a look!

No doubt I’d be best friends with the owner of this house. 😂

Happy December, everyone! Try to stay off the naughty list. 24 days and counting… 🎅🏻

Yep… ever.single.time. Black Friday, site Monday, and Amazon Prime Days are all mostly scams.

I heard a really simple, but insightful quote earlier this morning from Jason Kelcie as he was a guest on The Rich Eisen Show. I just hadn’t heard anyone phrase it in such a clean & clear way.

I would 100% be a day one subscriber!

If there’s any upside to this godforsaken timeline, it’s that imposter syndrome doesn’t exist. Don’t ever feel self-conscious. The entirety of Trump’s cabinet proves you can do ANYTHING.

Quick FYI: The Cookie Butter Shake at Del Taco exceeded my expectations. Don’t be afraid to try it this holiday season if you have one near you! That is all. #DelTaco
