Today marks 6 years since the U.S. declared a nat'l emergency for the coronavirus pandemic. Both dates land on Friday the 13th exactly six years apart adding to the eerie sense that we're stuck in some strange loop where the normal rules of time stopped applying. Glad I am not superstitious. 🀣

"Boots on the ground" is a more benign way of saying "about to get killed to distract from Donald Trump raping little girls."

So, killing children (murder) is now just a 'horrible mistake'. Got it.

Exactly. He didn't apologize. What he did was a conscience-cleansing, ego-pology. Purely a performative apology with zero meaning.

We don't need his conscience-cleansing ego-pology

Is that somewhere between
"Oops, my bad"
to
"We'll Johnny does it."

And we're so glad he's having the bad feels. But him feeling sorry doesn't cut it. Without a change, it's just him doing a performative apology.

Did anyone actually expect a nominee less evil than Noem?

Dumb and evil are not mutual exclusive.

You're still correct.

So, basically, Tuesday.

Definitely the later. Like our cats, yours will start yelling at 7 am wondering why their breakfast is now two hours late

Jayapal: DHS is supposed to be protecting our residents. You have actually turned the United States government against its own residents. Yours is a case of failed leadership secretary, you need to resign, be fired, or be impeached.

Right? After all, who knew starting a war would cause prices to go up?

Didn't realize this was a thing, but makes sense.
When I was a kid in the 70's, my mom cooked the same mix that you crafted for stuffed peppers. She had to keep me out of the kitchen, otherwise I would try to eat the mixture before she finished stuffing the peppers. The leftovers were a prize.

The President of the United States is an arrogant and unhinged imbecile.

He is a danger to the entire planet.

It’s a really, really dangerous thing for the whole world to have a cruel, idiotic, sociopathic madman in the White House.

They went to war with Iran (which nobody in America was asking for) so they could conjure an excuse to allow ICE to keep murdering Americans and teargassing schools here at home with impunity (which nobody in America was asking for).
