This "Little too little, little too late" act sucked when Sandra Day O'Connor tried it, and it's not gonna work for Kennedy.

Didn't this also happen at an Astros game?
His search for a welcoming ballpark will next take him to Stade Olympique. Where he will get booed again.

"More diverse" than last election is a knobslobber headline. More divserse than almost nil is still almost nil because there was a lot of room to expand.
If I want a Pew poll headline in the language of the Bezos Post, I'd like the Bezos Post to write it.

I'm impressed with the record-keeping you do, running your own business, in order to have this go down to the penny.
And it's better than having lent anyone a four-figure sum, interest-free, for a year.

I'm most impressed with everybody who had to be on cue for that moment when both the dog and the sailboat got set.

In five months I expect the administration's policy to be "Deep fry your frozen turkey".

Druke is a liberal?
What I've seen of him is pure Beltway Inbred, the sort who'll write almost anything as long as he gets noticed.
And the NYT specializes in finding "savvy" people like him for their Op/Ed.

C'mn, you can't believe everything the New York Times and CNN say about Democrats, and what they don't cover about Democrats.
In the latter case, what Tim Walz kept doing til Election Day.

"Fascists requiring inspectors for 72 hours to make prisoners' setting presentable."
Didn't I see this in Stalag 17?

Two perfect games of Squardle running!
Little to post here but Weekly Squaredle was hot:
I won Weekly Squardle #164 with 5 guesses to spare.
Word found after 4 guesses, 11 guesses for 10 words.

Some "US officials" are being threatened. Some aren't.
Helping fascists "win the morning" is your norm now, isn't it?

In addition to "Not Me" there's always "Ida Know".
Yes, I am comparing the sources quoted to a lame comic.

Did they go all-in on the cereal experience? I always wanted to eat at a restaurant where the main course was poured out of a bag of air 1/16th of an ounce at a time.

I scanned this first as "Athletes..." not "Athiests..." and thought the OP was giving a test to find which professed Christian MLBers only pretended to know about King Solomon in the Bible.

A tortie will either love or hate when you trim their nails. There is absolutely zero ground.
Jimmi purring when on her back while you play with her paws is a good sign.

"Detained"?
You can get out of your fucking bubble and join the real world at any time.
No matter how much you knobslobber fascists, they're not going be satisfied. We know what you are--now you're just haggling on your price.

If you're being threatened with torture for reporting the truth, blink your left eye once and your right eye twice. It'll be our secret sign.

I remember how the right-wing puke funnel convinced mainstream media to show how the economy "got better" after Election Day 2024.
Aren't you brighter than this?

This episode had a few choice items on it, and Newman showed off some comedy chops. "Hard News Cafe", anyone?

I just hope with everything I have that "Maureen Dowd" doesn't discover Ragtime, Parade, or Chess. I couldn't stand this happening to one of my favorites.

Wait, is this the US meaning of "pudding" or the Angloism of "pudding" (a.k.a. "dessert")?

The cat in residence is a ginger, and you adopted a tortie. This is almost an unfair contest. What if it's not Eggsy's day with the brain cell?

I will fess up to being "metal lunch box" years of age. But I don't want to assume other metal lunch box users aren't just going for the vintage stuff.

After Qatar, and all the FIFA claptrap, I was sort of looking forward to a normal World Cup, and my country's soccer scene hopefully impressing folks from abroad.
And now this.

Eh, Politico writing about Dems is like Jack Benny playing his violin: It's supposed to be funny, not real.

Don't trust Politico writing about Dems. It's a good bet to be rage bait for the Beltway Inbreds.
