Charlie...this is your thing here and you are absolutely entitled to pick the subjects you write about. That said, this is more of a challenge than a criticism:

The South Dakota Dog & Goat (and, as it turns out, Horse) Dispatcher has been done in every corner of the media ad nauseum now, and she's no doubt turned more stomachs than a tanker load of syrup of ipecac.

So, how 'bout this... for the rest of the month, unless some actually new and relevant news occurs concerning her - like maybe someone finding Jimmy Hoffa buried in her gravel pit - whenever you feel the urge to mention Kristi Quick Draw, print another dog pic instead.

Keep track, and at the end of the month let me know the number of salutary dog pics that replaced nauseating Noem observations and unnecessary stomach cramps, and I'll send $10 per to my county humane society (they run a 1st rate outfit). And both our stomachs will probably feel better.

Re: Russia and China winning the propaganda war, why do we continue giving them a direct pipeline into American homes via social media?

Some days it’s too much to take in but the trial with a day of Stormy dishing out on the way TFG treats women would make any woman jurist cringe! I swear I didn’t mean to blow up Xeeter on my birthday but it was true, Stormy’s testimony lasted longer than TFG did. It even lasted longer than the dinner and sex.

there are at least two sets of rules governing elite universities today: one for the favored, protected class; the other for everyone else. ETTD

Pro Hamas demonstrations? I thought the students were protesting things like the IDF going into a hospital, binding patients hand and foot and then executing them. Thanks for the clarification.

I read Anne Applebsum’s piece this morning and it gave me the β€œterror shivers.” My parents fled their homeland because of invading tyranny. Lucky for us we’ve had a good life as American citizens. Now, this scourge is staring us in the face - thank you Donald, Tucker, Steve Bannon, Steven Miller, GOP. I’m going to continue to move earth as much as possible in hopes of preventing this country falling into the slow despair they have planned for us.

I also caught Biden’s address on anti-semitism. I thought it was one of the best speeches he’s ever given. He spoke with such clarity that no one should ever mistake this country’s intolerance for it.

Geoff Duncan πŸ‘πŸΌ hero - we need many GD clones and spread them around. I hope more GOP leaders will follow his example and actually SAY β€œI will vote for Joe Biden!”

To Judge Marchen: Puh-leez put Donald in the pokey! Long Overdue! I doubt there will be nationwide marches, riots and shootings because of it. (I guess we really don’t know till it happens…)

Thanks for Auggie pictures; I love the purpose on his face.Dignity.

When I heard Biden give a latter day Jewish pride speech, I could have screamed!

Even as I write, Gaza is being bombed.Some loyalty to the past. It's an outdated line; Netanjahu has gone off the radar with his rage.Why must one more Palestinian die?

Because hamas is still imbeddedand fighting inside of its own people. They could just lay down their weapon and it's over. History says in war people die. Your anger is by lack of knowledge. If you recall how many cities we wiped off the map in Germany. We killed thousands. It is a war not a genocide.

Netanjahu wants one state not two.

The Palestinians are not Hamas

Netanjahu wants all the land .

It will take 80 years to restore Gaza.

He cannot destory Hamas without killing

Palestinians -their mothers and their kids

that are being killed .

War has clear rules not to kill women and

children.

Finally,Netanjahu is going to be kicked out

his job,after peace is reached.

Finally again Netanjahu had the Oct. 7th

attack plans in his pocket for a year.

It is a genocide because Netanjahu

isn't following the rules of war.

"Johnson: President Trump has done nothing wrong... it has to stop and you're going to see the Congress address this in every possible way because we need accountability. All these cases need to be dropped because they are a threat to our entire system"

So now we know what it cost Johnson for t***p to not support MTG. If Mr. Johnson believes as he says he does I expect he will be praying long and hard for forgiveness for his slaughter of the ninth commandment. He might want to take a minute longer to pray because he is flirting awful close to breaking the 1st one.

I'm wondering how Christian right conservative Johnson is going to square Stormy Daniel's testimony about Dear Leader, as well as how Geoff Duncan's declaration that he's voting for Biden.

Expand full comment

Apparently those of Johnson's ilk find it to be admirable and exciting that t***p could have sex with a porn star. Evidently t***p gets a pass with the 10 commandments.

I could cry. First, thanks for the super pics. Dogs are so reassuring. My doggie and I had a very cheerful visit at a senior citizens’ facility today. She was warmly received. Second, may the memories of the Shoah victims be a blessing. Third, is it time to start a new country based on principles, the rule of law, honor, concern for one’s neighbor, fear of autocracy and women who shoot dogs?
