Give him a call--I will, after work--and ask his staff to identify what he's sacrificing. When they try to pull "I can't speak for the Senator," interrupt harshly and say "I'll take that to mean he's sacrificing nothing." Then ask if he's encouraged his kids to sign up (they're adults and eligible).

He was definitely sticking his sword (more like a golf pencil) in something. Like a cloaca.

Now he'll have more time to make love to his bird-legged ho.

Here's Doug Burgum, billionaire, french-kissing Trump's anus. I don't get it. Is it a humiliation/submission kink? If I had billions, I sure wouldn't be doing whatever it is Dougie's doing. I'd be traveling the world, having fun, playing tunes, and making people happy.

Ever notice how utterly miserable these people look? If I had that kind of $$$, you'd never see me again because I'd be traveling the world having fun. Motorhead: "Rich men think that happiness is a million dollar bills/So how come half of them OD on sleeping pills?"

If you're like me, and I know I am, you're psyched for the new documentary EPIC: Elvis Presley in Concert.
Elvis never claimed to be the King of Rock-n-Roll. In fact, he said that crown belonged to two different someone elses. Who were they (no peeking on your phone)?

I love Top Dog Law’s advertising. It’s like the guy watched β€œBetter Call Saul” and light bulb appeared over his head. No pretensions. Gleefully, joyfully tasteless.

I don’t β€œknow.” But the rumors are there. He’s a complete fucker either way.

When he was lt. governor, he earned a LOT of goodwill. He was openly pro-LGBTQ, pushed for legal weed, he was good on pardons and commutations, and until Trump's 2024 win he was pretty normal. Now he's just a big, gaping, shit-stained asshole.

There are rumors of spousal abuse, which is also scary considering his sheer size.

On behalf of my shameless, lazy, racist, Muslim-hating* senator, I apologize (since he certainly won't).

*I refuse to use "Islamophobic" for the same reason Morgan Freeman (and I) won't use "homophobia:" "It's not a phobia. You are not scared. You are an asshole."

It is so damning of US news media that so many outlets refuse to just straight up say that Senator Tim Sheehy assaulted an activist.

He did not "help" Capitol police. They did not need his help. He wanted to assault the guy and did. He should resign.

@fetterman.senate.gov is openly Islamophobic. Embarrassing @padems.org every single fucking day. I wish him nothing but the worst.

Mike Brock (@mikebrock) This might be the best political ad I have ever seen:

I would absolutely vote for @katmabu.bsky.social but I live in PA. Great ad: substack.com/@mikebrock/n...

Iran Could Easily Become the Next Syria President Trump has never heard of Balochis or Azeris, and doesn't know about Arab and Kurdish separatist movements.

As I was reading Thomas β€œMustache of Understanding” Friedman’s ruminations on America’s new excellent war with Iran, I reminded myself that not every β€œfact” about the Middle East and Central Asia is true. (Freebie)

yeah, I'm kind of done with these idjits too. Let 'em kill themselves, it leaves more actual medication for those who need it.

That's right up there with the use of "appears to" to obfuscate reality. "Police chief appears to put teenager in neck lock," and the photo shows a man who is positively IDed as chief of police clearly putting a teenager in a neck lock.

If you weren't there in 2003, this was exactly what BushCo did, but they put a LOT more effort into getting the public onboard. I don't know how this little adventure works out.

so far i think in the last 48 hours trump has called

- michael scherer at the atlantic
- jonathan karl, abc
- jake tapper, cnn
- axios
- bret baier, fox news
- the new york times
- the washington post

just noting that when he wants to sell a war, suddenly theyre not "fake news" anymore
