Today is the day I learned that there's a MO Supreme Court Justice named Ginger Gooch. Bit of a disappointment that she doesn't have red hair.

There's a movie from 2000 called Drowning Mona which stars Danny DeVito as a cop investigating the death of Bette Midler's character Mona. His job is extra difficult because Mona is so deeply hated that everyone in town has a motive.
William Fichtner FTW

The only Americans who can say that the Dems are as bad as the GOP are those who have the privilege of not dealing with the consequences of either.
It's privileged, lazy, and selfish.
here's what happens after house elections, which are conducted by each state and locality:
the state certifies the winner
the winners go to washington
they convene a new house
they choose a speaker
notice who isn't involved here? the president or the current speaker or the senate.
The message from the White House this morning is that, once again, it falls on ordinary American citizens to remain calm and professional when dealing with the heavily armed agents of the government because they are very emotional and might fly off into a murderous rage at the slightest insult.
Tonight’s hero is Ronn Easton of Minneapolis, Minnesota for basically saying my thoughts verbatim like a pimp in a fur coat to make it official.
If you get called a bitch by someone like this, you are definitely a certified bitch ass mark. 💯
The flipside to Bannon's "flood the zone with shit" strategy is that all that shit ends up coming back to them so Trump is now flooded too. Breaking laws as a 'distraction' doesn't make the earlier broken laws go away, it just adds more.
But Epstein is what will bring him down
If I were a betting man and had to guess which Rep would vote against releasing the Epstein files, I would have just won a bunch of money. I hope Clay Higgins isn't allowed near children.
I keep hearing that there are good people in Texas but where the hell are they and what are they doing to stop this? Why aren't they in the streets? I would hang my head in shame if I were a Texan.
Anyone remember that brief period after Nov 2024 where we just kind of collectively refused to even interact personally with MAGA and they were livid about it? We should probably get back to that. Just refuse to even acknowledge their existence.
If you can't say anything nice, after all
The amount of shit I got for this segment at the time was astronomical, and it was all from people who now stalk CVS employees to get them fired for insufficient online sadness.
Cheering on political violence is both evil and not new, an outgrowth of an internet intentionally dismantled years ago.
Big sigh. Watch this.
Can you see why the Yankees’ moment of silence, the lowered flags, the promise of the Presidential Medal of Freedom, feel like a gut punch to the very people he spent years targeting?
No one wished death on this man, but what we’re seeing right now is too f*cking much.
If Biden had released the Epstein files, MAGA wouldn't have believed it. They would have jumped to his defense and cried about weaponization of the Justice Department. They don't believe anything a Democrat says.
They would have let Trump get away with his involvement with Epstein (there's no guarantee they still won't) just because of the messenger.
It had to come from Trump.
But I wouldn't have guessed he would have handled the fallout as spectacularly bad as he has. He's doing all the work.
Dems are supposed to be magical and save us. Why do they NEED a majority? They should just do what Bern says -pound the bully pulpit, and everything will change. Yelling ALWAYS gets you want you want. I mean, it worked w Mom, didn't it?
Whole lotta leftists on this site having a hard time grasping the importance of having the majority in Congress. Kinda funny because it's affecting everyone's daily lives in a huge way. You'd think they'd notice.
FOR FUCK'S SAKE PEOPLE PLEASE STOP TELLING ME THAT SOMETHING IS A DISTRACTION FROM SOMETHING ELSE. WE CAN ALL KEEP MORE THAN ONE THING IN OUR HEADS AT A TIME, OK? NOW SHUT THE FUCK UP
As a Seattleite I'd like to say that Trump done fucked up sending ICE agents here but I have to give deference to Philadelphia. Anyone done fucked up going after Philly; they'll straight up shit on your soul and make your children weep regardless of what any Fetterman may say about it. Respect.
"I fully support Gavin Newsom and his righteous fight against Donald Trump"
Is it really that hard to say?
What is wrong with the people who feel the need to qualify that statement by letting us all know how much more "left" than Newsom they are? Now's not the time for that bullshit.
"I am superior to Gavin Newsom and anyone else who doesn't fit my exact thoughts but I am glad he's standing up to Trump"
Is it really that hard to show solidarity without every leftist feeling the need to show that they are the leftist of the left?
No need to qualify your support, just pitch in.
I'll never forgive those who attacked me for picking a side in 2024, because "both sides were equally bad."
This mentality brought authoritarianism to America.
Thou shalt not tell others “this is a distraction” from something else you have unilaterally decided is more important.
You are not helping.
You are attacking your allies for caring.
Yeah my job is pretty cool. My uniform is a tactical vest that’s two sizes too small and a gaiter I bought in a gas station. They send me to sneak into schools to kidnap little kids because people got mad about having to press 1 for English. The president had to warn everyone to stop spitting on me.
When asked about drones while visiting a country with no trees, our current president spent thirteen minutes speaking about hunky lumberjacks. Here’s why the cognitive state of a former president deserves our attention.
Don't call Trump Musk's Vice President. Don't call Trump Musk's Co-President. If you're calling Trump Musk's First Lady, let me know so I can block you.
Donald Trump is just one of Elon Musk's White House aides. Call him that.
About 20 years ago I had to get lunch in a hospital cafeteria. I asked the guy at the burger station, who was just leaning against a wall and staring into the distance, for a burger. He stared at me for a bit, sighed dejectedly and said "Why the hell not?"
For some reason I treasure that moment
