Like a Caffeinated Lemur With a Hammer
As promised, Donald Trump has vetoed the Defense Spending Bill. For those who don’t spend their days happily digging through policy and nomming on the legalese, the Defense Spending Bill is, basically, the bill that pays for the Military and all of its related…stuff. It pays for everything from paying the wages of the people…
The original idea was to cover the Democratic and the Republican National Conventions. And all of Trump’s “events.” And all of the Biden and Harris events. Because I am tough, goddammit. I can totally handle all of the political shenaniganry. No sweat! Like water off a tarp, or however the saying goes. I mean, I…
I had a plan. I was going to go to bed at a reasonable time, get a good night’s sleep, get up at a normal hour, eat a real food for breakfast and then get some paying work done before my day turned into Politicalpalooza. It was a good plan and I liked it a…
What it is is anybody’s guess. So. Trump is scheduled to do a press briefing at 5:30 (EST) today. Joe Biden has reportedly made his decision about his VP and that announcement could drop at literally any second. If Biden really wants to troll Trump, he should wait until the moment Trump begins the briefing….
“It’s 2016 all over again,” a friend tweeted this morning. He was talking about how CNN made a point of carrying Trump’s Big Racist Bullshit-stravaganza Campaign Rally on Saturday, but hasn’t bothered to mention more than a passing acknowledgement of the events Biden has been holding.

In pretty much any other timeline, a foreign dignitary visiting the White House and meeting with the President would feel like business as usual. This is, after all, part of the job of being President, right? If only we lived in one of those timelines. In this timeline, we get Trump. It shouldn’t have surprised…
Last fall I was going through some stuff. Some big hairy monster brain weasel professional setback drowning in my own neuroses can’t get anything done stuff. I needed help and you all came through. I? Didn’t. I haven’t kept up my end of the fundraiser bargain and I need to own that and I need…
I just posted this over on GoFundMe and thought it would be a good idea to post it here too: HAPPY THANKSGIVING (a couple of days early)! I hope that all of you are having a grand time with people you love and doing things you like! It’s been a minute or a few since…
Me, when November started: IMMA WRITE YOU SOOOOOO MUCH STUFF! Me, now: What day is it? Are we still in 2019? Are there more hearings today? Do I have to listen to Jim Jordan’s face-holes make noise? Who ate all my chips? Why is it dark out? I need to catch up on my blog!…
QUICK NOTE: Hello from the future! It has taken me a while to actually get around to writing these posts (for reasons we’ll talk about in a mental health post soon). When I finally sat down to start writing about these hearings, trying to write about them in the past tense just felt weird. So,…
