Republicons Self Own.

Republicons aren't capable of realizing that calling the No Kings protests, "Hate America," gatherings makes them look far worse than the liberals they hope to demean.

If millions of people in cities, and towns across the entire Country are mad enough to march, that means those people hate the way the country is currently being governed. Since the Rethugs are the majority in all three branches of government, that reflects on their leadership, or lack there of, more than anything else.

It's not America the majority of people "hate," it's the way tsf and his flunkies are destroying the country we love.

Favorite No Kings sign so far.

A sign attached to a black labs collar that read, "I could poop 💩 a better president." 👍

Reuters is Reporting a Theft of A Delivery Truck.

It was carrying no joke, 12 tons of Kit Kat Bars. Someone really must have needed a break. 😛 This happened in Europe.

In all seriousness though I hope the thieves don't intend to do something nefarious with the truck or candy bars. Nestle said they are coded so they are alerting people about the bars to look out for.

The former Board President where I used to work, who

told female staff members including myself, "that too bad there wasn't a man among us, because we might be believed, because we just sounded like a bunch of bitches" is now in a bunch of trouble for his current day behavior.

The situation in the past that I and my coworkers had was because another board member (a woman)asked why the ball was being dropped at work. We told the truth. The man they hired to replace our previous director was not qualified for the position, and even though we did our best to help him, he was not improving in his performance. We were told that was too bad because he was a man with a family to support so we were supposed to just suck it up and do his work for him. He said that's what women employees were supposed to do.
I wanted to sue his ass, but our family lawyer said this area was a good old boys county and I would be blacklisted. Other lawyers later told me I could have reported him to the state labor board but my coworkers didn't want to start such a significant endeavor because their husbands said just let it go.

The ass is now though in the news because he is in an elected official who was heard using racial slurs, and has a previous complaint against him for exhibiting racist behavior. A court ruled there is grounds for his removal from office. He is of course appealing.

I personally hope his appeal gets tossed, and they nail that racist sexist pig 🐖 to the damn wall. I know you're not supposed to celebrate when Karma strikes back, but this feels like vindication. It's about damn time he's held accountable, the weasel. Oh it probably goes without saying but he's a Republican.

Favorite Irish Actors?

Mine are Colin O'Donoghue and Pierce Brosnan. Coincidentally I found out they were both born in Drogheda, Ireland. I always wished they'd do a sequel to Remington Steele, where Colin played the son of Remington and Laura, and took over the detective agency once they retired.

Pierce had actually talked about wanting to produce a movie of Remington Steele, only with Colin Firth, taking over Pierce's part directly. No offense to Firth, but I am glad it never came to be. I just couldn't see anyone taking over as that specific character from Brosnan. I also think O'Donoghue is closer in terms of looks to Brosnan, and would be believable as his character's son.

So tsf supposedly called Gavin Newsom President of the U.S.

It was most likely due to his continued cognitive decline, but it's hilarious to imagine he had a premonition about Newsom actually becoming President. I think the Governor is permanently renting space in that big empty space where tsf's brain was supposed to live.

A pun to both groan and laugh at.

Full disclosure I stole it from someone else: "Yes,a paper plane can fly, but remain stationery at the same time." 🤣

Now that Cornyn is flipping on the fillibuster

will Thune surrender to tsf too, to try and get the horrific "save act" passed?

Competition Shows

In competition shows like the ones on the Food Network don't you think it's completely ridiculous when a contestant says, "I came here to win?" Who goes into a competition wanting to lose? 🤷‍♀️
