The important thing is not whether the Trump performing sexual favors for Bill Clinton thing is true. The important thing is that we all pretend it’s true, and that someone asks Trump about it every day.

![[Black and white image of three well-dressed people, two women and a man, in a tastefully appointed bedroom. One woman, seated on the bed, seems to be explaining a business proposition. The other woman, sitting in a comfy chair, is closely examining a cut glass bottle. The man, mid-frame, leans casually on the chair. He seems skeptical. We join them mid-sentence.]
1st Woman: ... then, when you've established a pool of people *you* can get to sell the product, the more money *you'll* make!
Man: And I still say it sounds like one of those, whattaya call 'em, *pyramid* schemes ...
1st Woman: Hey, do I *look* like Imhotep to you, motherfu--
2nd Woman: Say, are you sure this stuff is even legal in this state?
1st Woman: Well, let's put it this way: it isn't *not* legal.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:buke6ob4tlr7yxhplfp436kc/bafkreihc52fs7xoyl5gi4po73zfwnqddzhpfylt2pc75wymm7dwhvnxt7m@jpeg)

Socialism doesn’t believe the government can do a better job than private industry.
Socialism believes that a government given a mandate can do the job with equity to all, and without a view toward making a profit.
Profiteering in healthcare, education, and the prison system is killing all of us.

#FumettiFriday Presenting our new "compensation" package
![[Black and white image of a gathering of middle-aged female revellers waiting in line for refreshments. A woman in a uniform is ladling drinks from a crystal punch-bowl.]
Reveller: Go on, Marjorie, try the punch!
Marjorie: Golly, I don't know if I should. [To waitress] Excuse me, is this juice freshly squeezed?
Waitress: If by "squeezed" you mean forced out due to crushing pressure, just like all accumulated wealth is from the pockets of the poor and desperate, then yes.
Marjorie: Well, aren't you just a li'l ol' ray of sunshine? Tell me, Mme. Defarge, have you been thoroughly patted down by our security detail?
What they may lack in subtlety they compensate with plausible deniability.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:buke6ob4tlr7yxhplfp436kc/bafkreiasmomtmfsskke6na5uso3rsu3v5x62ssliin5ojvfnvgckilo7vy@jpeg)

Man: I suppose you're wondering what I, a trained magician, am doing in this institution, my dear.
Nurse: It's no mystery. You managed to make your *career* vanish, hit the skids, cracked up, and now you're in need of constant care.
Man: Yeah, well ... you may not be big on tact, but you more than compensate with erudition.
Nurse: Eh, it's a living. Now step lively, Mandrake. It's almost time for your high colonic.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:buke6ob4tlr7yxhplfp436kc/bafkreifv4yyudwu2aepjvs6e5def4mefx7wigsk5l7cj736oplvalp27wy@jpeg)

It's National Sandwich Day. As it happens, my pet peeve is sandwiches not being buttered to the edges of the bread. That, and the howling existential void that makes a cruel mockery of all our hopes and dreams. But mostly the sandwiches.

The thing about Johnson not swearing in Grijalva is that’s it a test for 2026.
If you think they will accept an outcome they don’t like, they will just Grijalva it.
So what’s the plan when the GOP says “we ain’t leaving, fuck you, make us.”
Because that IS what they are going to say.
