Fucking clownshow.

Colbert and Letterman wore tan suits to the Obama Center opening.

Somehow I was at that concert (due to wife and kids) and it was really cool

Yes. MSMedia have had a party status hierarchy for decades--treating GOP as the high status king/emperor party & Dems as the low status chambermaid party--catering to & excusing the emperor & praising his new clothes king & belittling the chambermaid party incessantly--mostly for imaginary flaws.

But that was wayyyy different, you know... skin tone.

My elementary music students loved Lizzo's flute playing. Many decided right there that band would be an option for them.

I remember that. The outrage was ridiculous.

SHOES! DESK!

God, but I hope that suit is on display at his Presidential Library.

But you see, Lizzo is a bl…(large hook pulls me offstage)

Lizzie is a trained musician.

Trump's circus is an abomination.

Right wingers: "We can do whatever the fuck we want and you can't stop us."

A freak show

So no hiding the circus aspect. Where's the bread?

Perfect observation. Thank you Patrick.

Ditto with Michelle‘s vegetable garden.

Idiocracy was a documentary....

🚨💯👆🎯😱

They are not conservatives, they are nasty White Nationalists.

White trash gonna white trash

Nothing RepubliCONS say or do ever has any legitimacy.

No

Played briefly, but beautifully.

So you're telling me that a political party that traces its resurgence to Ronald Reagan's "states rights" presidential campaign kickoff speech in Mississippi in 1979 was secretly a Confederate Trojan Horse the whole time?

Their racism is so transparent.

June 14th - Obama Appreciation Day!

omg i was literally thinking about that like two days ago

The phrase "bread and circuses" (panem et circenses) originates from the satirical Roman poet Juvenal around 100 CE. He used it to describe how the Roman government pacified citizens and hid political incompetence by providing free grain and lavish, state-sponsored entertainment. No bread now..

All those who fought and died for our freedom to organize a cage fight on the South lawn. Sic transit gloria mundis. What desecration. Putin must be enjoying this mightily.

Sounds like some of the suits were dropped. And the others were disgruntled. Heard Lizzo on an NPR interview and she sounds pretty cool!

No.

I mean this is the party of extreme "For me, not for thee" while flaunting their blatant racism, misogynism, and hateful behavior that justifies their double standard of everything.

Those stunt cyclists gotta be making good roll

That was different though because she’s black.

Speaking of that period of time:

a whole host of companies I never bought anything from will continue to see no money from me, at least

You call that peace?

💯

I wrote about exactly that at the time for Salon. You'll be no doubt surprised to know it was Reagan who started the whole saluting enlisted men bullshit thing. I had a really good source. My dad was a USMC liaison to the Eisenhower White House. Ike *never* saluted. www.salon.com/2014/09/25/f...

Ah, but it was saluting the Marines with a cup of coffee in hand _while Black_

Remembering the gnashing of teeth and rending of garments when a black man defiled the Resolute desk by putting his feet up on it.

I wonder who is pocketing the ad revenue.

Disgraceful.

@iamnotasalmon.bsky.social So this is how it's going.

Military loves being used as painted little soldier boys for Trump's vanity parade.

The Union lost. We live in the Confederate States of NASCAR Rifle Association

She had the audacity to do it while being nonwhite, non-male, and not have an R after her name!

Is that a euphemism?

it made me so angry that they wouldn’t admit that. I have an instrumental performance degree. I get to tell you that yes she was good! And you (not you) have to suck it!

I thought Lizzo was amazingly respectful towards that instrument. Many people forgot she's classically trained, and that was a wonderful reminder.

Having a weigh-in at the Lincoln Memorial. I know American society is sick, but that sick? That there isn't more outrage? Would they cheer Trump literally ripping the original constitution off the wall and taking a dump on it? Yes.

With our military forced to stand there. Disgusting.

Definitely a circus

jesus it has sponsors. That means people paid money to make me see the names of their companies when I looked at that photograph.

They also don’t like hearing that Sally Hemming played a founding father’s flute

Still looks like a white trash

It was a black woman in a library. So much to get mad about.

From the halls of Montezuma to the dirt bikes of DC!
