Save us, St. Patrick, for all of our sakes
And please rid our land of these damned Gadsden snakes
Who wail like a banshee, “noooo! Don’t tread on me”
While treading on others with bloodthirsty glee
Our women, our children, our seniors, our poor
Our veterans, people of color for sure
Whoever their leaders decide is too “woke”
These creatures attack and their venom’s no joke
The LGBTQ folks, their allies and friends
On you, dear St. Patrick, their future depends

Well, Kevin, today’s the #IdesOfMarch, and you know what THAT means, so maybe watch your back… although with your Chaos Caucus, EVERY day’s the Ides of March, if you know what I mean. #Politics

Good morning to everyone except #KevinMcCarthy who probably has no idea that tomorrow will be the Ides of March (or that history often repeats itself.) Let’s keep that information under wraps so that we don’t spoil the surprise. #Politics

Little Miss Attitude is a “major” fan of President Biden, whose words can calm jittery markets and reassure Americans who have suddenly remembered that government CAN help them in times of trouble, as when #SiliconValleyBank teeters on the edge. Here she is relaxing during Biden’s inauguration, and reading about his shelter dog. #DogsOfCoSo #Politics

Save us, St. Patrick, for all of our sakes
And rid USA of these damned Gadsden snakes
Who wail like a banshee, “noooo! Don’t tread on me”
While treading on others with bloodthirsty glee
Our women, our children, our seniors, our poor
Our veterans, people of color for sure
Whoever their leaders decide is too “woke”
These creatures attack and their bite is no joke
The LGBTQ folks, their allies and friends
On you, dear St. Patrick, their future depends

Reading is fundamental.
#Politics #January6th

If MAGA folks believe that #TFG is a fierce hero vanquishing all their imagined enemies, WHY would he spend 24/7 complaining about how he is always the “victim?” #politics

As you listen to Senator #TedCruz questioning DOJ’s Merrick Garland today, please remember: Cruz was shamelessly FUNDRAISING as blood flowed during the #January6th insurrection. He’s a stone cold traitor and should face the consequences of his seditious acts. #Politics

#MikePence, America’s Most Sanctimonious Christian™️, simply cannot fathom why his fawning loyalty to #Trump (who urged the January 6th crowd to kill him) didn’t earn him the support of the MAGA base. Don’t worry, Mike. The good news is that Stockholm Syndrome is covered by Obamacare. #Politics

#IvankaTrump’s every move has been calculated to avoid angering Daddy and losing her “bigly” inheritance. Bad news, Ivanka: There. Is. No. Money. You humiliated yourself and trashed your life and the lives of your kids for absolutely nothing. Your only hope of redemption is telling #JackSmith the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth, but I get it. That’s not how you roll. #Politics

One would think that an exit like this would mean that #TFG would never again run for anything other than the border. #Politics

If any of your besotted MAGA acquaintances say *one single word* against President Biden’s courageous trip to #Ukraine, feel free to remind them that #TFG skipped the 2018 World War I memorial ceremony for America. Soldiers and Marines at the Aisne-Marne American Cemetery in Belleau, France because of [checks notes] light rain. #Politics

#Biden in #Ukraine
High stakes war zone trip to show

Somebody’s upset that Putin has too much going on in Ukraine to send an personal extraction team to whisk him away to safety from prosecution in the loving arms of Mother Russia. #Politics

#NikkiHaley probably doesn’t even know who David Lloyd George is (probably not even Boy George, but I digress), but his wise words were made for human weathervanes like her: “You cannot cross a chasm in two small steps!” #Politics

It’s hard to imagine two more sanctimonious, mediocre white men in one photo. #DelusionsOfAdequacy #Politics

Mike Pence asks: what’s the point of being the Most Sanctimonious Man in America if you get treated like a common criminal? #Politics

MTG has been unleashed; that harpy’s just insane
But Kevin gave her power that he now cannot restrain
She horrifies her colleagues with profanity writ large
Behaving like a monster, smug and ruthlessly charge
An insurrectionist whose plans for violence are clear
The husband who divorced her is the only winner here
This b**** is lacking intellect and gravitas and class
A Trojan horse, some posit (or a Trojan horse’s a**)

If you still don’t feel a sense of white hot fury that #Republicans are salivating at the chance to shred #SocialSecurity and #Medicare, please consider this. How would you ever pay off your student loans, buy a house, start a business, put your kids through college, pursue your hobbies, or retire if your parents - and maybe your in-laws too - were fully dependent on YOU for their housing, living expenses, and medical care and expenses. #Politics

Like many of you, I’ve had a bite or ten from the Rabid Bat of Melancholy. Maybe that’s why I felt such euphoria and optimism as I listened to President Biden’s #StateOfTheUnion speech. We are a broken nation in many ways, but the upside potential for us - individually and collectively - is unlimited. Then comes Sarah Huckabee Sanders, the Rabid Bat of Melanchly in human form, to remind us that, no that’s all wrong: life is awful and getting worse, and hope out of reach. #Politics #MentalHealth
