ThankYou for everything, but today I really needed the baby giraffe.

We Mainers are indeed sick of Collins's bullshit.

Hey SC, Every time I see a pic. of Collins or Murkowski, I think of some 1950's Aunties from some old TV show, who are total racists, but don't want to be rude so they tell their voters one thing and then go and do the complete opposite. Can we get some young people, Our Congress looks like a retirement complex. Experience is all good and such...but ...if you're going to drop dead soon, you really don't have skin in the game.

BTW...I'm 100 years old so no ageism here, just a reality check.

I'm about to turn "only" 80, but I totally agree with your reality check. I must admit that when first elected, Collins really did a decent job; no longer. I haven't yet decided for whom I'll vote, but we both know who it WON'T be.

Another almost 80 here. Collins has been a terrible person for a while now. She needs to retire.

io bonini's avatar

hey LS, maybe you could collect brochures for exclusive retirement homes in her area and write a nice letter telling her it might be a good time to move on.

Get some friends together and do a postcard operation...where you all send postcards from different retirement places letting her know how good it is.

LOL

Olympia Snowe must have kept her on the right track, much as John McCain did with Lindsey Graham. Snowe left in 2013, leaving her sidekick to flail around in a pool of "deeply concerned". Come on, Mainiacs! I was once one of you, and I know what you are made of! You deserve so much better.

Mainers, get rid of Collin’s. New Yorkers need to get rid of Schumer.

There are a lot of these elderly people who need to find something else to do with their lives rather than making ours worse.

When Elon realizes he can’t put a settlement on the moon, he’ll jump in to bed with Kushner and trump to buy Gaza, as soon as the genocide by Israel has taken care of the pesky people who live there.

Note 14. I’m confused. I thought they couldn’t understand anything Bad Bunny said. Now they’re offended? Which is it? They are morons.

io bonini's avatar

Hey PB...Racist...morons.

Bruce's avatar

They're all like the pinche gabachos who are dead certain that ANY TIME they hear people speaking spanish in public, it's always derogatory things about them.

Don't you just want to bang your head on the wall every time the trumpers take another shot at destroying science? It makes me CRAZY! Are they trying to revive the buggy whip industry? Kill more people with preventable disease? Increase power outages? Turn the US into one of those African countries that he regularly disparages? AAAARGGGGGG

That's okay. I hear China is pumping up its universities and research centers so they can dominate the troglodytes around the world. They're also promoting the use of renewable energy and electric vehicles so the rest of the world will have plenty of energy long after our gasbags are gone. So, yeah, we'll be the third-world country and see how that goes.

Sharon's avatar

So right! Tom Friedman wrote about it years ago. These frogs are living in the mental middle ages.

Hey Sharon, Here's one for you Those righteous March for life loonies are spreading more than just "their" word of God:from the HILL;

Maybe they took their ministry into the Oval. lol

Sure hope so! 😁🤞

Senator Jon Ossoff is running for reelection in Georgia. This weekend he used the term "Epstein Elites" that I think should be the rallying cry for all Democrats. We need to eject all Epstein Elites from government and give them a lifetime ban from all governmental positions from city hall on up.

Hey Sam, Hey Adam, and all you SP's out there, Here's a thought. Maybe the Brits will cut a deal with the weird Andrew Royal...it could go something like this;

Government; Hey you twisted Pedo...we will give you immunity if you out everybody you know that was torturing, raping, trafficking, money laundering, stealing state secrets.....

Andrew; HMMMM? I'm waiting for a better deal from my Brother.

Government; Oh right The current "king"....maybe it's time to get rid of the Monarchy.

We can dream....I mean "TORTURE" and the GOP is all good with that.

If you all want to hear a really stunning (in it's awfulness) piece about Epstiens New Mexico property...where it looks like he had an incinerator built, and trafficked people across the Mexican border...One of Micheal Popoks pieces from Legal AF has a chilling piece out.

Welcome to the Epstein class.....

lauren babbitt's avatar

Boom! there it is...We all need to hear more about that New Mexico "Ranch" that is for sure.

io bonini's avatar

Yeah LB Don't we just.

It's a really weird story, like everything else Epstein and co. were involved in. A former law enforcement person who lived near the ranch, notifying Authorities of weird goings on, financing the purchase of the Zorro ranch thru winning a huge power bowl lottery in 2008, girls strangled from sexual acts and buried on the property. WTF and an incinerator. Jesus H Christ sounds like a story off the front pages of the enquirer. When people lack the proper information, that vacuum of "no" information gets filled with the stories people make up. This story has actual documentation. Release it all.

Thanks for this! Lots of good stuff going on with the bad; a couple stories brought happy tears to my eyes.

io bonini's avatar

Ms. Peggy...focus on the giraffes. We need more giraffes.

Literally laughed out loud and snorted my coffee out my nose. Uranus jokes. Never too old to be juvenile. Pretty sure most people in the current regime are drug addicts/mental. All evil.

Congrats Hawks for the beat down. Best half time show in years, imo. A great deal of thought went into the presentation, and it was very well done. Thanks for the baby giraffe, guys.

Collins can fuck all the way off to Fuckoffistan, along with all the kiddie rapers. God really needs to do some smiting. Love to all the SP’s. Let’s keep pressure on our reps to abolish ICE

Note seven: Trump is threatening Canada again. It’s too bad they can’t whoop our ass because we kinda have it coming. More: Detroit News

And Hey Everyone, Canada has way better healthcare, and is not being run by Russians, I’m all good with that. Hope they’re here soon. Before the regime lets the deranged, senile, pants pooper use a nuke in Ottawa.

Baby giraffe tops polls! Not even close! Won by a landslide!

Baby giraffe totally started my day off with a warm fuzzy smile! :)

The Prince formerly known as Andrew could be facing jail time huh? It shouldn't be forgotten that Britain is a country that once beheaded a King. We need more of that today.

Musk is all pie-in-the-sky ideas with no real thought behind them. It sounds great on paper to note that the moon has valuable resources, but he has no idea how much he'll need to spend just figuring out how to get people there safely, provide them with enough oxygen to live while waiting for their supplies to arrive.

IIRC, it takes roughly 4 days to simply get to the moon, so unless you send all the rockets with people and cargo at once (an impracticality), either the equipment has to go first, then the people, or you're making them wait a long time in a hostile environment for stuff to arrive.

Then there's the whole getting all the stuff down safely, and hopefully in a place that won't be affected by the odd meteorite or two slamming into the surface of the moon, directly where your facility is. It's a fever dream, just like colonizing Mars is. Great science fiction, but falls apart when faced with reality.

this one made me laff out loud until I cried. Thanks, fellas!

"Trump sent out a statement yesterday saying “Don’t Panic.”"

I have it on very good authority that he is NOT a "hoopy frood who knows where his towel is"

But at least the Vogons will avoid this planet until he's gone...reading his nightly shotposts puts them off their poetry muse...
