Mostly a lurker. Possibly occasional pictures of my pet chinchilla.
Well, that's just bullshit.
Mike Johnson: "Democrats are required to open the government. They keep saying, 'Republicans are in charge of government.' We aren't!"
October 27, 2025 at 2:12 PM
Every accusation is a confession.
Mike Johnson: "Democrats are in an all out assault on the truth"
October 22, 2025 at 2:56 PM
........ bragging that you have the right hand man of the Emperor is not the flex you think it is.
Trump: "We have Darth Vader. You know Darth Vader, right? Darth Vader is a man who is sitting -- is that Darth? Stand up please. Does everybody know -- they call him Darth Vader, I call him a fine man. But he's cutting Democrat priorities and they're never gonna get them back."

And in other breaking news....water is wet.
Mike Johnson: "We don't have a political strategy here. I don't have a strategy."

So. I did a thing today. (All photos from me)

No Kings in Geneva, IL.

Being from Illinois myself, I cannot put into words the amount of vitriol I'm feeling.
DURBIN: You won't even say whether you talked to the WH about this?

BONDI: I'm not going to discuss any internal conversations with you

D: They're going to transfer TX Guard troops to the state of Illinois. What's the rationale?

B: I wish you loved Chicago as much as you hate President Trump
October 7, 2025 at 2:06 PM
Nobody has ever heard of that because it's bullshit.
Trump: "I think something that's gonna allow us to make a lot of progress is the money we're spending on pharmaceuticals. We'll be saying 1,000%. Nobody has ever heard of that."
September 30, 2025 at 8:38 PM
wut
Trump: "I'm very careful when I walk down stairs, like I'm on stairs, I walk very slowly. Nobody has to set a record. Just try not to fall because it doesn't work out well."
September 30, 2025 at 3:02 PM
Awesome. So now if we say we're protesting "separating families" that's because you said it. Thanks for the protest poster sign idea!
Homan: "If you ask them why they're protesting, they're gonna say things they've heard on the fake media. We're deporting US citizens -- no we don't. We separate families -- if a parent is being deported and they are here illegally and they chose to have a child, that's on them."

Cool cool cool. We only want them executed by political assassins. Got it.
Vance: "Look, just because we don't support illegal aliens, we don't want them to be executed by violent assassins engaged in political violence."
September 24, 2025 at 7:07 PM
So did Nazis.
Rep. Carlos Gimenez: "ICE agents are just doing their job. They're following orders."
September 24, 2025 at 7:01 PM
Sure. Cool. Okay. So what the president about being told he was off the air was also a joke? And the threat from him to ABC was also a joke? Just making sure it's clear which are and are not the jokes.
JD Vance: "On the free speech conversation, I'm pretty sure Jimmy Kimmel was back on the air last night, and to the extent he's not back on the air it's because he's not funny and has terrible ratings. This is not a federal government problem ... the FCC commissioner made a joke on social media."
September 24, 2025 at 6:52 PM
Mr. Vice President: Shut, and I cannot stress this enough, the fuck up.
JD Vance: "When Democrats like Gavin Newsom say these people are part of an authoritarian government, when the left-wing media lies about what they're doing and who they're arresting and the actual job of law enforcement, what they're doing is encouraging crazy people to go and commit violence."
September 24, 2025 at 6:26 PM
My first thought would be: a lot
What the fuck is wrong with these people

*adds giant economy size bottle of Tylenol to cart*
"Don't take Tylenol!" -- Trump has said this about a dozen times during this press conference
September 22, 2025 at 9:35 PM
Nobody with two brain cells to rub together thought this was coming from a doctor.
Trump: "Hepatitis B again, that's sexually transmitted, and I think you should wait until12. You know, I'm making these statements from me. I'm not making them from these doctors ... I talk about a lot of common sense."
September 22, 2025 at 9:31 PM
Right, right. As opposed to Fox News that was completely friendly to the previous administration, yes?
BASH: The big difference here, as you know, is that this is a broadcast network that was threatened by a govt individual who has oversight over their regulation and potential for mergers

MARKWAYNE MULLIN: Sure, but this is also a network that has not been friendly to this administration whatsoever

Donald Trump is way less popular than he wants you to believe.

And you are significantly more powerful than he wants you to think.
September 20, 2025 at 2:40 PM
At this point revealing lack of corruption would be surprising.
Wow.

Not at all surprising, but wow.

Blatant corruption is perfectly fine (encouraged, even) in this administration.
September 20, 2025 at 8:32 PM
Through the front door. They got in through the front door, you utter ignoramus.
Reporter: “You said earlier this week that the women…who were protesting when you were at Joe's Stone Crab, should be in jail? Do you actually think that is an offense that deserves jail time?”

Trump: “I don't know how they got in there…Yeah, I think they were a threat.”

Why don’t you send everyone proof of life first?

I will be damned if I allow a bunch of Confederate-waving January 6th apologists give the American people a lecture on flag waving.

There is ZERO reason to enter an argument about patriotism with people who still worship traitors to America 150+ years later.

They. Are. Breaking. The. Law.
