Maybe it was true of economics in the 1990s, but James Carville’s most famous war-room message no longer applies. Today, it would read: “It’s the press, stupid!

This will be one funny AF novel. But not on purpose.

Trump Plans to Release 100-Page Report on Georgia Election Fraud Claims - The New York Times

Remember when hearing the word "fascist" was almost cringeworthy? My, what a difference a decade of craven Republican malfeasance and turpitude can make, eh?

John Roberts must be so proud. He’s presided over the collapse of the Supreme Court and a ruinous roll-back of our society at the hands of reactionary zealots. What a legacy!

Yeah, that was disappointing too. But hey, I want them all to go down. I even want to see Rona Romney in chains. I don’t care why.

I’m disappointed. I was hoping Sean Hannity would be on the list. I want that corrupt slug to spend the rest of his life in jail, held in a cell right between Rudy and Donald’s, doomed to an eternity of hearing them do phone sex with ChatGPT versions of Kayleigh McEnany and Maria Bartiromo.

And what is this Hollywood writer's fixation with sex up against a wall? It's just not all that. I've had women request all kinds of kink and play, but that wasn't one of them. Maybe you need to be a writer? Or have a memory foam ass?

The American right may want to elect a convicted felon as president, but somehow I think the rest of the world may have to weigh in on that issue. It's about time they spoke up.

Is Roger Stone really going to escape all of this? Really? I want that shit stain skinned alive so I can use his Nixon tattoo for a bathmat. Is that wrong?

I bet Truth Social is pretty entertaining right now. But not on purpose.

Trump live updates: Fulton County grand jury returns 10 indictments in 2020 election probe for Georgia

Good morning. 45 consecutive fires set with the lincoln-log method over seven seasons. Not one failure. I loved my father dearly, but his hit-or-miss tri-log method wasted dozens of hours of my life. I've forgiven him.

The definition of “confounding” should read: a state of perplexed confusion when trying to understand people who still find Glenn Greenwald important or defensible.

First it was orcas, then sharks, and then otters. Now the seagulls are acting weird. We may be at war with the other species and only we don’t know it. I can’t blame them for seeing us as a threat.

I have never seen the American electorate behave as you seem to believe they might in some unicorn-driven scenario that has no basis in reality whatever. It's pure fantasy. And appealing one, to be sure , but we don't have much room for fantasy right now.

I've never seen this before. Seagulls hovered over dry land for like 15 minutes then one by one, landed but didn't seem to be eating anything. What explains this Behavior?
