The Portland Frog army has now infiltrated Tulsa, OK and they’ve made an unlikely alliance with the T-Rex infantry and Sharks on Hoverboards mercenary forces.

This is truly terrifying.

I’m sorry. Where was he when Limbaugh, Beck, Coulter, Malkin, Savage, et al. were running amuck?

Does the name “Lee Atwater” ring a bell? “G. Gordon Liddy”?

It all recalls Captain Renault from Casablanca. “I am shocked, SHOCKED…”

Let's just put it this way. The GOP certainly isn't acting like elections don't matter or that a Democratic House can't meaningfully restrain Trump's power.

People knew how to write headlines, once upon a time.

Tell children today that, they won't believe you.

Newspaper website headline: "Blind bisexual goose named Thomas who spent six years in a love triangle with two swans and helped raise 68 babies dies at the ripe old age of 40."

Thinking about viscachas again

The viscacha, an absurd, rabbit-like creature. They are fat, furry, and have hilariously long whiskers that extend far past their bodies. This one is plopped on his butt.

A viscacha with his whiskers pointed down and his paws in a dainty position

A viscacha holding his hand up as if to say no pictures please

Another sitting viscacha but he looks SO soft and SO fat

Border Patrol “attempted to arrest a plumber working inside a Logan Heights home but left empty-handed after the homeowner refused them entry.

The homeowner told agents she would not allow them inside because the warrant they presented did not include her address and lacked a judge's signature.”

Federal immigration agents conducted operations in Logan Heights and Southeast San Diego on Friday, with community members capturing footage of the enforcement actions.

I don’t understand why we can’t simply agree that the Israeli government is run by terrible people without having to indulge in Nazi memes and rhetoric.
