@stephaniemiller.bsky.social @thepoliticsbar.bsky.social @bobcesca.bsky.social Is it just me, or does the Trump/DoD excuse for undercounting the war casualties sound like "Friends" Ross Geller's "We were on a break!" defense?
@stephaniemiller.bsky.social Carlos was right: Trump was using was death statistics like a golf score. And we know how accurately he reports his golf scores.
@stephaniemiller.bsky.social It's too late this week, but with all the Trump-arrhea in the country it may be fine to bring back the Sack of Crap song.
The Trump-diarrhea outbreak is the latest in a cycle that's been happening since Reagan: 1 "X" is a preventable bad thing 2 Dems start programs to eliminate/control X 3 X stops being a threat 4 Republican courts/pols deny need to continue X abatement 5 Republicans kill X controls 6 X comes back
@stephaniemiller.bsky.social I'm a retired schoolteacher and computer boffin; as such I should not know more about the law and/or national security than the nominees for the top government jobs in those fields. Oh, and I won't be watching Trump on TV Thursday night; my pony needs re-waxing.
@stephaniemiller.bsky.social A friend of mine made up a rule for presentations that would work well as a rule for both your callers and protest signs: "Short is good. Funny is good. Short and Funny is best."
@stephaniemiller.bsky.social Please tell Bella (whom we will miss) to look into the podcast ChildrenOfTendu by my friends Javier Grillo-Marxuach and Jose Molina, who each have 25-30 years experience as writer/producers see it their calling to inform and steer the next generation of writers.
@stephaniemiller.bsky.social The only reason Trump would be "near the top" if you administered an IQ test to all of the US presidents in history is because most of the former presidents are DEAD.
@stephaniemiller.bsky.social Donald T-rump does *NOT* "play 3-D Chess": he plays Calvinball!
@stephaniemiller.bsky.social I've got a better story than Chris's hippo experience. On a trip to Seaworld we got to see a bunch of young male manatees attempting to self-pleasure themselves and each other. They may be an endangered species, but it's not from lack of desire.
@stephaniemiller.bsky.social Do you think the ICE agents who targeted Senator Andy Kim did it because they were still mad at him for undoing their Jan 6 Capitol "redecorating"?
@stephaniemiller.bsky.social Of course Trump won't go to Junior's wedding: he'd have to take AF1 to get there, but since there's no way to pretend it's a business trip, need have to pay for it himself.
@stephaniemiller.bsky.social Pete Kegbreath is ABSOLUTELY a drunk. The only thing that is alleged is whether he is currently a dry drunk (as he maintains) or a wet one (as the evidence implies).
@stephaniemiller.bsky.social I'm on a river cruise right now where the captain is named Vladimir Vladimirov. In his honor, I think they should rename the cruise ship to Boaty McBoatFace.
@stephaniemiller.bsky.social So Dr Oz has actually embraced former congressman Alan Grayson's satirical description: "1 Didn't get sick! 2 If you DO get sick, die quickly."
@stephaniemiller.bsky.social The BEST version on Yellow Rose of Texas was performed by Stan Freberg, which was "inspired" by the Mitch Miller performance.
@stephaniemiller.bsky.social Please let Chris know the red monster in the Bugs Bunny cartoons was named Gossamer.
@schumer.senate.gov Senator, if your daily talking points don't include protecting citizens from ICE thugs, you are not only failing your party and your constituents, but our ancestors who were murdered by similar evil last decade. Jews aren't at the top of their list, but we're on it.
@jodyhamilton.bsky.social My wife and I finished watching Palm Royale yesterday. That last shot of your mom made us cry.
@stephaniemiller.bsky.social Saw this in the parking lot and thought of you. Enjoy your vacation. We'll miss you, but you've earned it. ps In our family we have the saying "If the Book of Job teaches us anything it's that sometimes God can't be a dick."
@stephaniemiller.bsky.social Trump goes downstairs for breakfasts instead of getting room service because having the one waiter stand and applaud isn't sufficient for his petty e.go
@stephaniemiller.bsky.social I watched the show late, so I couldn't comment live. @chrislavoie.bsky.social was right: you shouldn't have made those Bobby Jr jokes immediately before talking to a Brigadier General. Better to save them for when talking to a Rear Admiral.
Dear Democratic turncoats (and Fetterman, a wolf in Lieberman clothing): Are you familiar with the aphorism "God answers all prayers; sometimes the answer is NO"? You sold out the people in whose names you allegedly fight in exchange for the Republicans promise of "a vote." Surprise!They voted no.
@stephaniemiller.bsky.social Mike Johnson's ignorance is a deliberate tactical choice; by deliberately ignoring those things that are in his job description to know he feels free to spout crap that he would otherwise know isn't true.
@thepoliticsbar.bsky.social Regarding availability of US senators, my Oregon senators Wyden and Merkley each hold at least one townhall in every county yearly.I've been able to chat with each of them. When I moved here it was such a pleasant change to not have to sign a "pay to the order of.." note.
@thepoliticsbar.bsky.social @stephaniemiller.bsky.social Between DHS & ICE goons, & Trump tearing down the East Wing for a ballroom, his Arc duTrump, his tacky redesign of the Lincoln bathroom & jetting off to Florida for a Great Gatsby party I'm not sure if we're reliving Berlin 1933 or Paris 1789
If you can't tell the difference between an IQ test and a *cognitive* test, you just flunked both.
@thepoliticsbar.bsky.social @stephaniemiller.bsky.social @frangeladuo.bsky.social @glennkirschner.bsky.social I don't know about laws in DC, but I believe in general if a tenant destroys the landlord's property, he can be held reliable for costs of repairs. Make Trump pay to put the East Wing back
@nicollewallace.bsky.social Mike Johnson's head is *NOT* "in the sand." His head is fully up Trump's ass that Johnson is moonlighting as Trump's uvula.
