So... Karoline Leavitt is going to leave the White House to spend more time lying to her family? Concerning.

If Only They Had Electric Gloves: S.F. cops typed the wrong license plate into their computer, and the plate came up as stolen. So they followed the car, waited until he was stopped at a light, smashed the driver's window - without trying the door - dragged the guy out, smashed his head (1/3)

On the one hand, I am shocked to learn that Capitol One closed 385 Trump-related bank accounts because of money laundering back in... {checks notes} 2021. I am less shocked that the Trump idiots brought this into public view NOW because they filed a frivolous lawsuit against Capitol One.
Nobody warned me about the sad doggy scene in The Odyssey.
MARK YOUR CALENDARS! Next Thursday marks what would have been the 79th birthday of football Hall of Famer Ken Riley, late of the Cincinnati Bengals, who was born on 8.6.47.
Well, that was a fun few days. Bluesky suspended my account on Friday, with no explanation. Many emails to support later, I found out that the folks to contact - and the ones who will actually respond - are the moderation team, moderation@bskyweb.xyz. tl;dr: sarcasm is easily misunderstood.
MS-NOW's chronic writers were feeling frisky during the WHCA dinner...
I was going to post that the TACO Index (Trump Always Chickens Out) index indicated a major pivot from Trump around July 26, thinking there was only one index, but noooooooo! There are many! So read 'em all, and place your bets!
I see that Trump is now threatening to bomb Mali. From here to Timbuktu? Guess we've gone from "forever wars" to "forever war."
Poor Donnie Trump, having to watch Spain win the World Cup. Think he's gonna slap a tariff on the trophy?
I'm thinking of getting a bumper sticker to honor the birthday of American Pro Football Hall of Fame member Ken Riley. I think more of us should honor this Cincinnati Bengals great - later coach at Florida A&M - who was born on August 6, 1947, or 8.6.47 if you prefer.
Donald Trump paid someone else to beat his children. Prove me wrong.
I see that Donald Trump wants to sic the FCC on NBC and ABC for refusing to broadcast Election Denial extravaganza. I wonder if he can also include Netflix* for their cancellation of The Boroughs? * yeah, I know. Lighten up, willya?
I should probably point out that I, like the late Lindsey Graham, also have a skeleton in my closet.
I have a theory, and just hear me out on this: It was soap poisoning.
This is a little frustrating... A search for "Has E. Jean Carroll's money been released" only turns up the Judge's order to release the funds. I cannot find confirmation that the funds have, in fact, been released.
I am shocked that professional negotiators Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner would create a poorly worded "memorandum of understanding" with vague language that Iran would be able to interpret to its own advantage. Shocked. Nobody has ever seen such a thing. In the history of the world.
Well, I am shocked - shocked, I tell you - to learn that Trump turned America's 250th birthday into a scam. Kudos to this Josh guy for getting the scoop: www.usatoday.com/story/news/u...
Exclusive: Trump-tied Freedom 250 sent ticket seekers to GOP fundraising site
A Trump-linked political group asked those seeking tickets to consent to getting donation requests, but changed it after USA TODAY asked questions.

It has come to my attention that a clip has been unearthed wherein James Talarico describes the American flag as "complicated." Complicated. THIS IS THE FLAG THAT JESUS GAVE TO GEORGE WASHINGTON! HOW DARE HE! I tell you, it's enough to make me vote for Trump in 2026!
Interesting that the Supreme Court Justices who are themselves the beneficiaries of birth tourism are now decrying it for anyone who came after them. I guess it's fair to call them Alite snobs.
My pick for Best Game Show Based on a Classic Rock Album: Beat the Meatles - A fast-paced quiz program where contestants compete to see if they can answer more questions correctly than Harv and Janet Meatle.
I think states should consider mailing ballots in plain paper envelopes. It would take a warrant for the USPS to be able to inspect the contents. There; solved that problem for ya.
So... not only are workers dumping hydrogen peroxide into the newly painted Reflecting Pool, which both bleaches the color and degrades the bond between the paint and the granite, but they have introduced nano-bubblers, which... (1/2)
So the Glorious Donald Trump, after -finally- getting Iran to agree that they agreed to something back in 1968... (8. The Islamic Republic of Iran reiterates that it will never produce nuclear weapons.) decided to preemptively violate the very first item in the agreement
I suppose I should be impressed that Donald Trump has managed to get it up and keep it up this long at his age. The tarp. I'm talking about the Kennedy Center tarp. What did you THINK I was talking about?
I would like to take this opportunity to say WOOT! that is all.
It has come to my attention that Pete Hegseth is a girlie man. That is all.
