The guy who sat at Pelosi’s desk says he should be released from jail because he called Pelosi a biatch, not a bitch.

Oh, okay. That’s all fine then.

Sounds like he needs a better lawyer dog.

Sounds like he may learn what “biatch” means in prison lingo. One can hope.

If there’s one good thing about the toxic right is that the challenge they have - and it’s a big one - is uniting under one umbrella.

Okay, let’s take him out of “jail” and put him in “prison”. Think that would make him feel better?

Heck, since he’s talked about being a 1776 patriot, put him in gaol.

Or in stocks.

I’ve frequently said that a stint in an authentic Civil War prison camp might be an appropriate punishment for these deluded freedom fighters.

Unfortunately, the left has the same challenge.

It may even be a bigger problem for the left.

I definitely think it’s huge problem for the country if the left can’t get it together.

Better: Take him out of jail and throw him in gaol.

Edit: Dammit. You’d think I’d learn to look down one reply, but no-o-o-o…

We reject all attempts at prison rape jokes. They are tiresome and wrong. This includes not-so-sly references like “you will have a 300 pound cellmate named Josephine”. Quit.

ISWYDT, Josephine…

True.

I’m somewhat encouraged about the direction the Dems are going in, particularly under Biden. I think he’s doing enough to keep progressives’ bellies full and he’s clearly winning whatever middle ground is left. I kinda felt that January 6 was Trump’s last real hurrah - he will still be ‘around’ but he’s getting older and weaker.

But yeah, Trumpism, even without Trump, lives on. And what I really worry about is what happens when - not if - the country is confronted with a catastrophe, and I’m thinking that climate change and environmental degradation is going to be a very obvious existential crisis before long. Climate change isn’t just about the weather; it’s a civilization killer.

So is AOC:

Oh of course. As the guy on Square Pegs used to say, “Totally different heads. Totally

Now, if you all will excuse me, I have to head over to the restroom and take a pee-OSS.

I wish they would understand that if they don’t get behind him and support him NOTHING is going to happen.

We must be the only two people who remember that clever show. Sara Jessica Parker was 17.
