#EarlyMusic helps me cope with 21st century life. Someday when Covid is just a dirty memory I will sing in a performance of Thomas Tallis’s 40-part motet “Spem in Alium” and I shall achieve nirvana.
It’s disgusting, it’s baffling, and it’s terrifying. I feel exactly the way I felt when America reelected GWB. And things are worse now in nearly every conceivable way than they were then!!!
How on earth is JD at 38 positive
Who in the actual fuck are all these morons? Serious question.
So the Pentagon blew through >$50B in five days of September — "more than the total military budgets of Canada and Mexico combined" — on stuff such as lobster tails and a grand piano … but wants Congress to hand it another $50B to fund Trump's stupid war in Iran?
No. Hell no. Absolutely not.
Hegseth's DOD also spent more on furniture - $225K - in 2025 than they did in the preceding decade. They bought recliners and fruit basket stands, among other things. Kristi Noem wasn't the only one living the high life on the taxpayers' dime. bsky.app/profile/gree...
Remember the last time the Republicans were so completely in the toilet popularity-wise that they commissioned studies & Lindsey Graham announced a postmortem & they started working on comprehensive immigration reform? Then along came Trump and their problems were solved. And the public blames Ds.
I genuinely do not understand why the Republican Party is not the least liked of all of them. And I’m really angry about it too.
It’s time to resurrect William Proxmire’s Golden Fleece awards. These people are utterly without shame spending other people’s money.

I think her implication is that Trump spreads joy wherever he goes. And yeah, that is the sign of a terribly broken mind.
Great minds! I thought of that Bananas scene too.
Scrambled egg draping is a wonderful description!
Trump should really go for the garish and grotesque Gaddafi style: Epaulettes with all the scrambled egg draping from them in conjunction with the Trump gold sneakers. Just go as tacky as can be.
Reminded of the scene in Woody Allen’s movie Bananas, in which the banana republic dictator makes a decree from the palace balcony that henceforth all men shall wear their underwear on the outside of their pants.
But apparently… it is real. Donald Trump reportedly has a footwear fetish. He’s testing the loyalty of his lieutenants by whether they’ll lace up in the same black shoes he wears. And yes, it’s creepy.

Edging ever closer into The Death of Stalin territory
This is fucking INSANE. One for our history books to explain this god forsaken era.
😂😂
Judge pointing out that all of the fabricated quotes lean in the same direction (restricting the court's review) which tends to indicate that this was done to deceive the court
If we decided not to pay our federal taxes this year, I wonder how long we could hold out. I resent that swaggering boozy fathead getting a single dime out of our pockets!
Sure hope Stephen Miller is lining up bus loads of patriotic young MAGA to go into the fields and keep the agricultural economy going - what, you mean he didn’t even think of that??
My god these people are great at breaking things they don’t understand.

Yes. It’s absolutely crazy they’re doing this.
What do proudly we bombed, in the twilight’s last gloaming…
Jesus. The growers must be going out of their minds.
The guy will probably go ballistic if denied and try to off the judge.
The amount of chutzpah this takes …
I hope the judge in this case agrees this is a problem entirely of their own making and tells them to jump in the Gulf.
😬
I’m oddly reminded of Orwell’s contemporary book review of Mein Kampf - he said Hitler’s naked appeal to the psychic need for sacrifice was, unfortunately/regrettably, more exciting than safe comfy liberal leisure-time pursuits.
So you’re telling me there’s a chance it could hit Mar-a-Lago? 🥸
