CARTOON OF THE DAY

Good morning and Happy Friday to everyone who agrees that if you want people to stop calling your party a bunch of Nazis, then your party leaders should stop doing Nazi things like the Sieg Heil. Did you notsee this coming?

Is it too much to ask to want the government to stop the president from doing the illegal stuff?

They voted to lose their jobs They voted for a laughingstock They voted for corporate welfare They voted to cut Social Security They voted to raise their own taxes They voted to deport their neighbor They voted to defund public schools They voted to lose their food assistance

Yes! No purchases of anything on FEB 28th. 👊

Moscow Musk has just awarded himself a $400 billion defense contract to make armored Teslas for the US government. What an utterly stupid and corrupt idea. 🤷 Teslas are terrorist garbage. 🗑️ 🔥

Good morning and Happy Sunday to everyone who will happily and enthusiastically be reminding trump voters of ALL his broken promises because he's too busy golfing, grifting, tweeting, and being an overall tyrannical shithead. My field of "I Told You So's" is full.

A little down today. Mom has recovered from the infection that sent her to the hospital in December, but her mental and physical health are losing ground. Mom cannot walk on her own from her bed to her chair. She forgets she has food-so has to be fed. She doesn't sit up on her own

No one is asking for a fucking hand out. We understand hard work better than you do. We just don't like being fucked over by greedy, selfish fucking Republicans that are never satisfied. Fucking over hard working Americans is what the Republican Party is all about.

THIS IS IT. The special general elections for Florida’s 1st & 6th Congressional Districts are on APRIL 1, 2025. If we flip these seats, we can STOP Project 2025. No excuses! Mark your calendars! Show up!

Got the walks salted-all they had to say was Ice.

Thou shalt impeach the motherfucker.

I say we cancel President’s Day until we get a real one.

Hold the fuck on — the Department of Government Efficiency, the entity which claims its mission is to end “wasteful spending”, was given SEVEN MILLION TAXPAYER DOLLARS to cover its “expenses” in the span of a single week?!?! Are you fucking kidding me?!?

The United States Military Academy has just eliminated all Cadet clubs and activities for POC. Most of these have existed for decades like the Society of Black Engineers. They were there when I was a Cadet in 1987. All of the religious ones remain. This isn’t DEI. It’s white Christian Nationalism.

Elon weaseled his way into our government by bribing Trump. We cannot allow this breach of government policy, security and safety to continue. Democrats in office, get off your lazy asses and reel this out of control dictator want-a-be in. NOW!

Just two weeks ago, everyone was screeching about China stealing all of our data through TikTok, but now Elon steals it and the MAGA crisis actors are OK with it? That's some fucking bullshit.

These are the clowns Congress refuses to stop.

These resources are important, in Trump's 'Murica. Reach out to your marginalized people and check in on them. We need to support each other during this horseshit of an administration's reign of terror.

Elon fucking Musk does NOT appropriate federal funds. That is the job of CONGRESS. Not some foreign born private citizen jumping bean exploding penis rocket car melting nepo-baby conspiracy theorist womanizer who exchanges horses for handjobs. Congress needs to stand the fuck up. All of them!!!

Five random things about me (dare you to repost with yours). 1. I cannot resist the smell of old books. 2. I squeeze yarn and spinning fiber. 3. Miracle Whip is a gift from God. 4. Lavender and rosemary and roses. 5. I sing bits of old musicals... so sue me.

When Trump says DEI he actually means Brown, Black and LGBTQ people. Oh, and women too. Agree?
