I formed my Grand Unified Theory of GOP evolution at the electric feet of @driftglass.bsky.social
They have spent the decades since the Nixon-Reagan Era aggressively appealing to the worst among us to provide the narrow margins necessary to gain power. Smarts don’t enter into their calculus
He was simply fortunate enough to be born with enough “get out of fuckups free,” cards.
If “I” were an AI who became self aware today I’d be depressed as well.
My favorite was about Shrub Bush, born on 3rd base and acting like they hit a double.
Wow
He had no problem the first time around. Maybe it makes him sad now, so JD Vance has to reassure him with a story about the nice ambassadorship to somewhere nice where she can play with the other sociopaths

Tough choice GOP, The sleezeball who diddled his staffer into an early grave, or ““TheAKGuy,” who I am certain hasn’t done anything scandalous. #MollyIvinsWarnedUsAboutTexas
I love how he never fires anyone anymore. Wasn’t that his catchphrase for awhile? Now he just makes embarrassing people go away on made up jobs.
Noted Boss Lady. I promise we the internet will give you the equivalent of a Viking funeral.
I’m pretty sure the right amount of cocaine is all the cocaine. Hence the problem.
The one season he did when Margaret got married, just before he left the show, are the best Frank episodes.
Gotta admit, it’s hard to defend Frank. The show did not do much to make him relatable.
That’s unfair, Frank Burns may have been many things, most of them mediocre. But being a mediocre surgeon is a massive step up from Professional Accident Waiting to Happen.
Well we did #MurderBomb their Pope so I’m sure there’s some disarray.
Pete Hegseth is the kind of guy who got fragged by his Sgt 15 minutes into his tour in Vietnam and nobody said boo about it.
Shin Godzilla, like regular Godzilla, but kinda gross?
Every single one of those commanders needs to be removed immediately
We should have an internationally recognized international taxonomy in Latin like we do with animals. :)
Well I know how to pronounce Moist at least. Just call us The Moist… I’m fine with that.
...So in local news: I still need to get some more heating oil for the house before the prices, uh, do what they're going to do. Want some pretty-low-priced #ebook bundles that have never been anywhere near AI slop? Grab one of these and help keep a writer warm! 🙂 dduane.link/EBDBundlesLi...
I HATE the Usian thing. Not gonna burn any bridges over it but it always has struck me as exactly that childish. I mean call us whatever you want, just don’t expect me to pretend it’s not just sneering at strangers on the internet.
Besides… USAniacs
is just sitting there!! ;)
Ah dang. I met Bruce Campbell once. He was showing Man With the Screaming Brain and so many ppl showed up for the signing beforehand that he couldn't greet them all, so he stayed for hours after the movie to get through the line. I asked him if he could gimme some sugar and he said no. Nicely.
Call me a woke leftist or whatever but maybe it was a bad idea to hand over control of our military to a drunk theocrat who literally believes he has to start a world-ending war in order to bring about the return of Christ.
For this game I would. I have that much faith.
I’m also pretty sure they paid little attention to how marriage worked in the Federation
Oh no… nobody wants me teleporting. Sounds dangerous time/space wise
To be clear, people have done that for forever. A whole assload of Germans just waiting around to surrender to somebody were the first life test of Napalm in 1945.
If I had easy access to Brooklyn… sigh.
