Steam-, Diesel-, and Atom-punk artist. Born Democratic💙. Proud father and partner to rabid left wing nut-jobs. A bookish pasty-faced stay-at-home. Retired, but still making art in wood, metal, and pixels.

Please allow me to introduce myself...
I'm a former national union president (the Graphic Artists Guild, at the time affiliated with the UAW), a retired illustrator, and parent to two adult children, both of them creative as hell, with day jobs. Liberal. AF. I still art every day--some of my work:
Ordinary folk, like Kevin Hassett, live action cartoon character.
Such classic gaslighting it's an instructive moment. The question is not whether generic is better or worse, it's that a list with more expensive brand names is not the same as a list with cheaper generics. Perverting that truth into an attack on those calling it out is Manipulation 101.
Hassett: "On one of the Sunday shows, the anchor criticized the fact Walmart said the Thanksgiving dinner is cheaper by about $10. Then he said, 'Oh yeah, but they substituted generic stuff,' as if having a generic something is a crime for ordinary folks! It shows how out of touch these people are."

"I get asked about Palantir a lot because there’s this internet meme out there that somehow I am super in bed with Palantir."

People don't think he's necessarily in bed with Palantir. More like snuggling up to Palantir in a three-way with a convertible pull-out sofa.

I'm sorry. I realize he's lying and trying to hide bad news. But I look at this picture and all I can think of is the fact that he's hiding his "neck-gina" with some racy high-cut burgundy granny panties.

The last country that talks to Trump will win the war. His bird-sized, congested, coronary-adjacent heart is too weak to stand up to personal confrontation.

He pinballs, he ricochets, he wobbles and weaves. His bow wave is chaos and his trailing wake is disorder and everything between is jelly.

I live on Hood Canal, about ten miles from the area that was burning in the Bear Gulch Fire. Many days the air was full of smoke and the nights were full of sirens. All along Hwy 101 businesses put up signs thanking the firefighters. ICE came in, stopped the crews, just to detain 2 firefighters.

You can't develop immunity to the flu. It mutates. Just like you mutated into an anti-vax pariah.

I made a Christmas list this year and my family has to agree to it by this Thanksgiving. But my list didn't include the subjugation and betrayal of an allied nation. I just want wristbands.
Stunning development: Senators now confirm the Trump admin’s 28-point “peace plan” for Ukraine wasn’t a U.S. plan at all. It was a Russian wish list. Follow along. This is crazy. 1/

Many people weren't aware that "Trump" spelled backwards is "Putin".
What a shit show. Everyone could see this plan was written by the Kremlin. Adopted by Witkoff and Trump who demanded Ukraine accept it by this Thursday. After a firestorm of objections by Europe and Republican senators it appears Rubio wants to distance himself from it.

You have the right to remain silent, piggy, anything you say on Truth Social can be used against you, and you have the right to an attorney. If you cannot find a real attorney, Halligan will be provided for you.

What would anyone expect from someone who hosted Qaddafi, lauded Hussein, toasted Duterte, loved Kim, and kisses Putin’s ass? Trump puts the dic in dictator.
Donald Trump could have just kept his mouth shut about Jamal Khashoggi.

But to smear a dead journalist, while sitting with the person accused of orchestrating his murder is just vile.

Every time this administration hits rock bottom, a trap door seems to open.

I think some people (Trump foremost among them) still don't get that inflation is a rate of increase. Inflation should be self-defeating because it often compounds already high prices to unsustainable levels. When pundits says inflation is "only" 3% it just means the high prices are getting higher.

Meal Team Six are the bullies they never got to be in high school. In Paris I once saw a group of Vigipirates (French Anti-terror forces) and they're what these guys wannabe. They were all 6+ feet (men and women), armed, armored-up but lean, and watching people with INTENT. Scary.Try that in a mask.
