[Never lose your head, a matter of great practical wisdom, never to let it get away from you: it marks the great man, and of noble heart, for all greatness is hard to throw off balance. The passions are the humors of the spirit, and their every excess makes sick the mind, it endangers the reputation. Wherefore have such mastery over self, and be so strong, that nothing, either in the greatest fortune or the greatest adversity, can upset you, remaining superior even to the admiration of this feat. Gracian #52]

More desperate propagandizing coming from the Rotten Yam,
Trump exclaims recently that on day one he’s going to fix immigration and… drill drill drill!
It is as if Trump doesn’t realize that under Biden more oil has been produced than in any other administration.

MAGA has picked a perfect House speaker in Mike Johnson.
Has there ever been a more hypocritical

Mike Johnson must use a telephone book instead of a Bible to pray on.
Why is Mike Johnson blurring the January 6 footage so rioters don’t get charged?
Nothing to see here, right?

Lonely Juanita is a great example of the most easily led chuckle-heads in the world. Hunter is raking in millions from overseas and he needs a loan from daddy for a truck? Juanita will next tell us that “10% for the big guy” referred to Hunter’s tithing to God.
All you Dems out there better vote a lot of times in the next election, because it’s the last time you’ll ever get to vote. EVER!
What a bunch of maroons.

You’re wasting your time Scott he’s a highly trained member of the Fourth Estate he’s not capable of connecting those dots.

blockquote>“To know and not to know, to be conscious of complete truthfulness while telling carefully constructed lies, to hold simultaneously two opinions which cancelled out, knowing them to be contradictory and believing in both of them, to use logic against logic, to repudiate morality while laying claim to it, to believe that democracy was impossible and that the Party was the guardian of democracy, to forget whatever it was necessary to forget, then to draw it back into memory again at the moment when it was needed, and then promptly to forget it again, and above all, to apply the same process to the process itself—that was the ultimate subtlety: consciously to induce unconsciousness, and then, once again, to become unconscious of the act of hypnosis you had just performed. Even to understand the word—doublethink—involved the use of doublethink”

Scotto – Really? Has been raking…? Since when has he been raking…?
Are you referring to the Team MAGA “smoke” that their investigations have uncovered in the last, what, 7-8 years.

Given what the Dems offer as an alternative, I’d say they will continue to vote for folks like that for quite a while.
But you keep writing those letters, dude – it’s the only exercise you get.

Kevin McCarthy: “When you look at the Democrats, they actually look like America. When I look at my party, we look like the most restrictive country club in America.”
Interesting that after McCarthy gives his two-week notice, he starts speaking the truth.
