Jeff Tiedrich is encapsulating my daily rage pretty well so far.
"so, for those of you keeping score at home, it’s —
— trafficking teenage girls across state lines and paying them to participate in drug-fueled sex parties is good.
— being trans is bad."

Dr. Oz? I thought we banished him back to New Jersey?
At some point, since this is becoming a reality TV show, do they get to vote him off the damned island?
Hard to believe this is real, but you know LIndsay Graham. I think the brain worms are jumping.

I've always loved Scotland and its people. They get resistance!

"oh great, Really Concerned Susan’s going to ask questions — and then announce with great fanfare that Matt Gaetz has learned his lesson and he’ll never drive teenage girls across state lines for drug-fueled orgies again."

Giuliani Warns Matt Gaetz That Trump Never Pays His Attorneys
https://open.substack.com/pub/borowitzreport/p/giuliani-warns-matt-gaetz-that-trump
From the Guardian:
Oklahoma congressman Markwayne Mullin has previously accused Gaetz of sharing videos of girls he slept with on the House floor. He told CNN last year that Gaetz would “brag about how he would crush ED medicine and chase it with an energy drink so he could go all night”.
On CNN just now, he said, “I completely trust President Trump’s decision making on this one.”
#politics makes strange bedfellows.
Discord leaker Jack Teixeira sentenced to 15 years for sharing U.S. secrets.
He should have run for President maybe?
The grifting continues (from my dwindling WaPo subscription)

"President-elect Donald Trump posted a message Monday on social media encouraging people to buy his latest book, “Save America.” The cover shows Trump’s bloody face, and his raised fist, after the July assassination attempt in Butler, Pennsylvania.
The book is published by a company co-founded by his son, Donald Trump Jr., and sells for $99. Signed copies sell for $499."
Trump picks Rep. Elise Stefanik as ambassador to the United Nations.
That's a big ole FU to the world!
The corporate insurrection of 2024

Objects in the mirror are closer than they appear. The more things change the more they stay the same.
This memory popped up this morning.

One rightfully angry hero. No one could feel his despair like he does.
I will follow Karen’s lead. Great post

This from the Guardian:
First laugh I’ve had since the election – Emmanuel Macron, to Trump: “Ready to work together as we have done for four years. With your convictions and with mine” (Orbán, Zelenskyy, Macron and European leaders respond to Trump’s win, 6 November).
Our neighbors chose this moron and morally empty man to lead this country. When those people no longer have healthcare and they've crashed the economy, and given Putin unfettered access to Ukraine and westward and their daughters die from miscarriages then maybe they'll regret their choice. I doubt it though, their cult-like smugness will comfort them and they'll blame someone else.
Andy Kim D-NJ has won his Senate race. Andy was the congressman that cleaned up the Capital rotunda the morning after January 6th insurrection. Good man.
