Best list I've seen, thanks.

The massive perk is that they get to be cruel bastards and hate for a living.

Ah, "grill" my ass.

Trump could nominate someone who doesn't believe in heavier-than-air flight and thinks the Wright Brothers pulled a hoax, and the nominee would get "grilled" in the hearings but be confirmed by the Senate.

Sick burn, but it'll take more than a few clever quips to make me forget that Gavin Newsom hangs out with the likes of Steve Bannon and Charlie Kirk and spews right-wing anti-trans talking points.

The Trump administration is planning to ramp up civil and criminal prosecutions of companies that employ workers without legal status, White House border czar Tom Homan said in an interview Wednesday.

Pure bullshit. At most, expect a few photo ops at small businesses owned by Democrats, but big picture the employer class is 95% Republican and will never face meaningful civil and criminal prosecutions for employing undocumented immigrants.

Of course, goes without saying that if they were, all of America's undocumented immigrants would be gone in days, triggering massive inflation and an economic crash of 1929 proportions.

For almost five months now, I've been feeling like I need a shower soon as I step out of the shower.

Wow, so very well said, thanks.

I'm an absolute wimp and cursed with good manners. If someone throws a brick through a window, I'll grab a broom and try to tidy the mess.

But I absolutely understand the brick-thrower, and they're not my enemy.

The lockdowns, pushed by the Trump administration.

In no reality were lockdowns pushed by the Trump administration.

• You know, some people have to work on Saturdays.
• I'd go, but isn't that part of the city really dangerous?
• I'm really not sure about who's organizing the protests.
• Saturday is my day to go bowling.
• Etc, etc, etc.

Be there. Everything is on the line. Be on the line.

Brian Wilson told the story of how Don Henley once came backstage after a concert. The Eagles co-founder arrived clutching his copy of Pet Sounds, the Beach Boys’ classic 1966 album, and told Wilson how much their music had inspired him when he was younger.

Keen to have Wilson autograph the album, he watched as Wilson picked up a Sharpie and wrote: “To Don – thanks for all the great songs.” Henley turned to leave but Wilson called him back and, grabbing the record, crossed out “great” and replaced it with “good”.

Henley took it well.

Many taxpayers would prefer the homeless die.
