Hello, from a cold icy Banjoville. We lost power yesterday evening. It has come back to us but…it seems to be intermittent, to say the least. So let’s make this a quick open thread!
So I take it John Kelly is out?
And then there’s Maude:
Fucking hell…

The Sky Dancing banner headline uses a snippet from a work by artist Tashi Mannox called 'Rainbow Study'. The work is described as a" study of typical Tibetan rainbow clouds, that feature in Thanka painting, temple decoration and silk brocades". dakinikat was immediately drawn to the image when trying to find stylized Tibetan Clouds to represent Sky Dancing. It is probably because Tashi's practice is similar to her own. His updated take on the clouds that fill the collection of traditional thankas is quite special.
You can find his work at his website by clicking on his logo below. He is also a calligraphy artist that uses important vajrayana syllables. We encourage you to visit his on line studio.

“RESIST, INSIST, PERSIST, ENLIST.” - HILLARY RODHAM CLINTON

I need to fix that second cartoon.
(Which sentence? Nothing appears for me.)
I looked at the WaPo. That Abramson tweet seems to be referencing this article.
‘Siege warfare’: Republican anxiety spikes as Trump faces growing legal and political perils
Not sure what he means by “this sentence” unless it’s the one about “shrugged shoulders.”
The Rethugs have been standing by Trump so far in spite of his treasonous and grifting behavior. If they may don’t feel any sense of duty they sure like how he helps their takeover of democracy.
The “mattresses”? The usual expression is go to the mat, as in wrestling mat. But maybe in Dump’s world, given that his personal Vietnam was fighting with STDs, maybe he really does mean mattresses.
Oh, I totally missed that! You’re right; “mattresses” — and hush money afterwards.
I always assume that everyone in the world is as familiar with The Godfather as I am. 🤗. It means go to war.
Okay. I’m exerting superhuman self-control and keeping my finger off caps lock. How much more goddamn proof do they need?
WTF??? “important enough to justify an impeachment” is in question? What more do they need to see?

Horrible.
It’s crazy. 100% crazy. And their Gov is a Rethug, so he’ll probably think it’s fine. /*endless screaming*/
Small consolation but at least the rapist got what he deserved. If Brad Chad Chet Brett, whatever, won’t take no for an answer then kill that motherfucker. The justice system can’t be trusted to hold rapists accountable, so maybe we have no choice.
Not threatening any individual…making a metaphorical point.
That makes a lot more sense than the idea they endorsed because they liked him so much.
So, is the pool boy Falwell Jr’s illegitimate son, or his special friend?
My bet is the “special friend” of both Falwell and his wife.
What BS. You can’t simplify the liberal-conservative distinctions by economy only. And Microsoft has never been a Seattle company. Bellevue and Kirkland are not suburbs of Seattle.
LOL.
Saw a great sarcastic pic: “Trump widens search for Chief of Staff” followed by about fifty thumbnails of those identical blonde women who front for Fox.
:laughing, thigh-slapping, stomach-hurts icon:
That kid isn’t even breaking his stride hahahahaha
It’s about time this was investigated. Generic-drug pricing has been glaringly suspicious for a long time.
