Greg Abbott probably thinks "infrastructure" is more razor wire along the border.

I'm figuring it DOESN'T mean upgrading the Texas power grid so maybe folks don't freeze to death this coming winter.

Is anyone really surprised that convicted rapist Trump forced himself on Arlington after Arlington said no?

I'm just glad that you never mentioned Donald's crusty orange throat Mangina, his bizarre botched scalp reduction surgery, his tiny widdle fingers and baby feet, or how his mouth often looks like an orange anus when he uses it to crap out lies and partially digested word salads. Cuz that would be cruel and crass.

I haven't seen a single comment about the family member in the Arlington photo who's holding up the WWG1WGA finger. Go figure the family that got Trump to break a law and violate the "sanctity" of a "holy place" would be Qanon weirdos.

Unrelated: I respect you for your correction regarding commenting on Trump's appearance. However, I believe that people shouldn't be shamed for things out of their immediate control - weight, head shape, disability or deformity, etc. Trump CHOOSES on a DAILY BASIS to be orange. In my opinion, that is wide open for ridicule.

Is that what the hell she is doing? I have seen mention of the white-power thing, Hail Satan, or Texas hookem horns. But Q idiocy would be most on-brand

Follow up so I don't get called out: I've rechecked the picture I was referring to, and the lady I accused of Q finger appears rather to be holding up what I call "rock hand" - index and pinky. So probably not Q weirdos. My bad.

Holy shit, did you just give me an out to mock Trump’s physical appearance? OTOH, people may do things by choice precisely because of societal body-shaming, so maybe I should veer away even from choices that don’t have much bearing on people’s lives? OTOH, he’s really orange…

Thank you, JL! Your wit helps the news go down…

there is some more great big tech news! Parents who sued TikTok over the suicide of their child have prevailed in federal court. Is this finally the end of Section 230?? This judge says so!
