I’ve always expected there to be the silent shitheads. But the high volume stupidity on display in these United States is like watching drowning people refuse a life raft because they don’t like the color.

On Native American Heritage Day, California celebrates the strength, survivance, and leadership of the first people of this land.

May today inspire us to embrace these values as we collectively face the challenges of our time.

The internet is awash with photos of Kingfishers but rather chuffed to get this one today from the boardwalk at the Cardiff wetland reserve, they usually never allow a close approach. Sadly, flushed by folk coming down the boardwalk as I was creeping closer #birdingWales #birds

SEN. KELLY : “They informed me of this in a tweet because this is not about the law. This is about the media cycle, and intimidation… We basically repeated the uniform code of military justice, and they're saying that's in violation of it. It's absurd. Comical.”

It gets lost in the shuffle, but the Speaker of the House is someone who, by all rights, should’ve had his career ended a decade ago by a Shreveport TV news investigative team.
Fond memories of that time Mike Johnson was president of a local law school that never opened its doors, in part because it was attached to a Baptist college that was losing its accreditation, and in part because it was always a scam from the start
Mike Johnson -- who is, yes, theoretically a lawyer -- has not had a chance to look at the American Constitution because he's been very busy lately, folks, he just can't see everything, gosh, how is he supposed to know if it's wrong that the president called for the execution of congress members?

When America celebrates its 250th birthday next year, it's a sure bet that all of the TV specials and programs will broadcast the whitewashed version of the country's history.

Of course.

250 years of lies continues.🔥☕️

The target? Sex offender Andrew Tate.

The WH person? Paul “Nazi Streak” Ingrassia.

Who was previously also Tate’s lawyer.

I’m still thinking about “quiet, piggy.” No president should be able to speak to a member of the press that way and remain president. That moment encapsulates how vile, misogynistic, and horrible that man is.
