Those straight people had their Straight Pride Parade in Boston last summer. Apparently it was ( see the ellipses here . . . ) controversial.
If people want to hold Straight Pride Parades, that’s fine (as long as they’re about Straight Pride and not just gaybashing), much like it’s fine if they want to go down to the trophy store and buy themselves a big ol’ trophy with their name on it.
And it will mean just about as much.
…Department of the Interior, that is. 'Cause, after all, what does it have to do with her??
The Republican leader of the Michigan state Senate says that the insurrection was a hoax.
Why not? It always works.
From the article:
"I regret the words I chose, and I apologize for my insensitive comments.”
“Insensitive”??
How about “I acknowledge that I am a motherfucking LIAR and I LIED because that’s what LIARS do”?
OAN’s parent company has been ordered to pay $250,000 in court fees to Rachel Maddow and MSNBC after OAN lost a lawsuit against them when Maddow called them paid Russian propaganda.
From that link:
Herring Networks President Charles Herring told website Law&Crime that “the case is currently under appeal".
What, you want to pay even more of MSNBC’s legal fees?
Gotta at least give Sparky credit for consistency (from article):
then further down…
…despite the fact they’re apparently not supposed to be Trump people to begin with? Got it.
Much credit to The Detroit News website - I can’t remember the last time I clicked on a site where I wasn’t immediately presented with a pop-up for paywall/cookies/ad block/yada, and just read along, unpestered. Thanks!
Can think of at least three reasons how great the name Shirkey is.
I just cannot read that Maddow/OANN article without wanting to constantly go:
“Aaaaaaaaaaaaa HERRING!!!1!!!”
Heck - another great name - this one not in the least bit suggestive of certain colour.
Well, maybe not:
… to have any financial control over political committees, under a judge’s ruling Wednesday that blasted him for using donor’s contributions to line his own pocket.
The decision stands to significantly alter the Washington’s political landscape. For the past two-decades-plus, Eyman has been the state’s most prolific proponent of ballot measures and one of its most influential populists, frequently persuading voters to approve tax-limiting measures only to see them struck down by the state Supreme Court as unconstitutional.
For almost as long, Eyman has had a history of campaign finance violations. In 2002, following a report in the Seattle Post-Intelligencer, Eyman called an Associated Press reporter to make an emotional confession that he had been secretly paying himself with campaign contributions, despite insisting publicly that he had not been. At the time Eyman called it “the biggest lie of my life.”
Of course, Timmy will play the martyr card through multiple appeals (while picking his supporters’ pockets shamelessly). But at least for this moment: O frabjous day!
What was that thing about him stealing an office chair from a store (by sitting in it and rolling it out of a store, do I have that right)?
Pretty much, though he wasn’t sitting in it when he rolled it out.
Sorry wrong forum
At least Kenny got scolded.
Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton violated his budget authority when he transferred $40 million of taxpayer money to cover pay raises for some members of his staff without approval of the Legislature or the governor, triggering an angry response from lawmakers on Wednesday.
“You know that I am not pleased,” Senate Finance chair Jane Nelson told Paxton during a meeting about the state budget. “We have an appropriations process for a reason. And if every agency did what yours did, General Paxton, we wouldn’t have a budget. We wouldn’t even need a budget.”
…
Oooo… she "is not pleased"! Pretty strong language-- hell hath no fury, amirite?
She might even become “irked”. That’ll teach him!
Hallelujah!
Eyman and Culp are both con-men but on a much smaller scale than their mentor Trump. It doesn’t hurt that their followers are completely gullible. Did you know that if you look up gullible in the dictionary, the definition is “republican”?
She should take lessons in “righteous indignation” from Susan Collins.
Or “concern”. Collins has a black belt in “concern”.
With a sewn-in crease to indicate she’s a “furrowed brow” adept.
