George Washington's 1745 Rules of Civility and Decent Behavior in Company and Conversation, written when he was 14-15 years old, as exercise in penmanship.

First part of #18:

Read no letters, books, or papers in company, but when thre is a necessity for the doing of it you must ask leave.

“Puzzles the Experts?”

Who are the experts in obese demented rapey lying racist pedophilic felonious adulterers?

This fat narcissistic turd needs to go.

Whether by fast food hamburgers or impeachment, he needs to be gone.

He’s.

EUGENE DANIELS: “You said diversity can be a weakness. What did you mean?”

CUOMO: “Diversity can be a weakness if you have antipathy among groups, Jonathan.”

EUGENE: “I’m Eugene.” 🤦🏻‍♂️

(Jonathan is the other Black host. SNL’s writers have nothing on Cuomo!)

This is a great guest post from the Handbasket that helps clear the political smokescreen around SNAP.

Who gives a flying fuck about “defending the homeland” if we aren’t feeding our countrymen.
As SNAP hangs in the balance for nearly 42 million people, misinformation is rampant. Myths of laziness and fraud persist when we should be talking about too low wages for workers, income inequality, and our threadbare social safety net.

In this guest post, Adam Chandler sorts fact from fiction:
SNAP benefits feed essential needs while still leaving many hungry for more
Journalist and author Adam Chandler explains what so much of the conversation about them gets wrong.

Odd; Schlumpy is usually so truthful.
During a recent visit to Japan, Trump claimed that Toyota would invest "over $10 billion" to build new auto plants "all over the United States." But Toyota said it had made no new pledge. www.snopes.com/news/2025/10...

Be a shame if Herr Stephan choked to death on the same fast food hamburger that Schlumpy chokes to death on. A darn shame.

ICYMI — “judge ordered Trump to continue paying for food stamps during the shutdown, siding with local officials & nonprofits to spare millions of low-income Americans from losing benefits…”

the base salary for members of the house is $174k, which they are still getting during the shutdown. the speaker gets $223k. these are the same people trying to shame others for eating without working.
Speaker Johnson officially announces another week off for the House. That means 20 work days in 18 weeks since July 4. The House is currently scheduled to be out the week of Nov. 10. It's not clear if that will change.

The fact that Trumpers are desperate to create the illusion that their ever more unpopular, and ever more debilitated, Leader could stand for election again is a measure of the dead end nature of their fascist movement.
New in PN: Trump couldn't (legitimately) win a third term If he tried

"What’s astonishing about the media’s 'third term' coverage is how it doesn’t clearly state the obvious: Voters are openly rejecting Trump, as seen in poll after poll."

He has not a single redeeming trait. Here’s hoping he chokes to death on a hamburger tonight. He doesn’t care about anyone or anything but himself. All this could have been avoided if either impeachment had removed this total piece of $hit from politics.
