The Zelensky thing is incredible. Spend months treating the guy like an irritating dependent, then suddenly it’s “hey buddy, any chance you could stop blowing up the thing that’s making our other disaster more expensive?”

There’s probably a German word for needing a favour from someone five minutes after acting like they should be grateful you let them in the room. Schitzenbackpedalenfreude.

Note 10: So will finding out that they were unwittingly being used as decoys for the President, cause the White House press to actually do their jobs and become real journalists again? Yeah, I doubt it too.

Hey AB., I'm guessing that all those writers (they are not journalists) on the plane are in the process of writing glowing pieces about how great it was to assist the orange urinal cake in a secret operation that saved his small, pathetic existence, and how they would gladly have gone down with that plane for him.

Some of them claim to be journalists, but have not acted like it with trump. Most are right wing stooges that report whatever lie he tells. Those will probably happily die for “dear leader”.

I think you nailed this one again. I'm sure the pillow dude is still crying foul. He's an insurrectionist by choice. We owe him nothing but our disdain, right along with Trump. Anyone still voting for these losers is brain-dead.

Thanks for the uplifting and funny writing. We look forward to hearing more from you later.

One accolade for your superior news gathering skills, delivered with laugh out loud yucks! You do plumb sources that are not among my regular morning news journey. Unfortunately, it's usually about something that's not covered by my sources and delivers yet more bad news. But that's why the humor is so welcome!

WASHINGTON — A judge ordered the Kennedy Center to pay $250,000 in legal fees to musician Chuck Redd, whom the arts center sued for canceling a Christmas Eve concert after President Donald Trump’s name was added to the building’s facade. More: NBC News

And speaking of the Kennedy Center…it’s still up there…Sen. Whitehouse;

I'm surprised that Zelensky even agreed to a meeting with the couch potato after how they treated him in the White House. And then there's the General Dynamics scandal adding to the insult. GD was given $500,000,000 to make missiles for Ukraine. They made zero missiles.

Note 11: Yeah, it's just great that a billionaire funded, corporate Democrat defeated John Larson.

From Social Security Works:

"Today is Democratic primary day in Connecticut. Rep. John Larson, Social Security’s #1 champion in the U.S. House, is facing a primary challenge from a billionaire-backed candidate. Billionaires know that Rep. Larson is on the cusp of making them pay their fair share into Social Security — and they will do anything to stop him."

Larson had a bill ready to roll if Dems take back the House to expand Social Security. We don't need younger sell out Dems winning primaries!
