I don't know what the hell you're talking about, Lucy, and I want you to shut up. Writer. Rants and other effluvia coming at some point: https://t.co/EovJvDV8YL

Congrats to Arkansas on electing an extra from "Hee Haw" as its new governor. If "dress for the job you want, not the job you have" is good advice, then apparently Arkansas' governor would rather her job was hostess at Shoney's.

These people are such weirdos. The QTs on that, you'd think Elon was Eisenhower and the Allies had just liberated France.

The FBI when Trump asks a court to enjoin review of his papers two weeks after it got them. Trump's lawyers going about their work for the last two weeks.

"So when you get out of jail you'll use your newfound knowledge of its horrors to join with criminal justice advocates who have been pushing for prison reform for years?"

"HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA no." "We're not white supremacists. Also, all our black guards are liberals who hate America."

I don't know what's sadder, that the editor of the Babylon Bee doesn't understand jokes or is completely clueless about how badly he doesn't understand jokes. ImageImageImage

I really thought the end of democracy at least wouldn't be so fucking stupid. I mean, come on.

When a person keeps pushing a white supremacist theory that has in recent years motivated people to shoot up synagogues, calling for his firing shouldn't be a Democratic Party thing, it should be a human thing. Megyn's attempt at mainstreaming herself crashed and burned spectacularly, so she's decided to sprint headlong in the other direction into Nazi-adjacent territory. Bold career move.

"Leaning toward." Man, just do it, there is no morally legit executive privilege claim here. He was acting as the candidate, not as president, and his people were acting like Republican hatchet men.

washingtonpost.com/politics/trump… Of course the reporters needed to get Turley's opinion. Are there virtually no other law professors at any college or university in D.C. and its surrounding environs? Image

What in the fuck is going on at Axios today. "Nonpartisan but patronage-heavy." What even are words.

What if we're all misreading this photo and the lobsterwoman is so powerful that she's actually summoning a lobster out of the ocean into the boat. This is in Maine, too, how has Stephen King not yet written the story of the demonic lobsterwoman struggling with her otherworldly power to telepathically pull seafood out of the ocean.

What's the over-under on number of days until Richards loses this gig? "Over the last few days, it has become clear to myself and to Sony that my continuing in this role is a distraction that reflects badly on the legacy of 'Jeopardy.' Therefore, we have mutually agreed that I should step down as host. I'm grateful for the opportunity."

Oh Politico, you've done it again!*

*published bad-faith horseshit analysis from a conservative

politico.com/news/magazine/… Do any of these GOP senators support raising taxes? Did all of them except Romney, who wasn't in office yet, vote for the Trump tax cuts? The answer may not surprise you!

Breaking my policy of not retweeting Trump statements to note that they have become indistinguishable from a Grandpa Simpson rant. Image "In my day we called it 'kick-the-ball,' and you'd pay five bees to get into a game. We had all the greats on the Springfield team: Shins McDougal, Bicycle Kick Bill, Pele..."

In a better world, Jeffrey Clark would be sanctioned, if not disbarred, for this garbage. Oh wow, more for the "Jeffrey Clark is a giant loon and we're super-lucky Trump didn't pull off a Saturday Night Massacre at DOJ in January" file.

Just the laziest, hackiest shit week in and week out. "Oh no, what if a vaguely defined political ideology results in a major policy failure." I dunno, it'll be like every other ideology leading to a policy failure and we'll try something else?

Brow-furrowing at DEFCON-2 Senators like Collins are in their own way as bad as demagogues like Hawley and Cruz. She's got the spine of a bowl of Jell-o.

Here's another good one from WaPo. Note the hed, then a graf restating the hed, followed immediately by quotes from...a Republican calling Biden's agenda "socialism" and another quote from Mitch McConnell's press secretary. How on earth is this informative in any way? This is one way Republicans launder bullshit talking points about socialism into the mainstream. I get journalists think it's not their job to analyze, only to report the quotes, but at some point how do you not get appalled at being played like this.

Woof, that ratio after 30 minutes.

Just for posterity.
