Accountant. Musician. Father of four. Potentially boring. Just some guy with opinions.

I don’t know how some of y’all have thousands of followers and say something clever multiple times a day. I’m over here struggling to be smart once a day.

I hope everyone has had a wonderful weekend so far, and you’re mentally prepared to lose an hour of sleep.

120 hours of work in nine days. I’m too tired to think of anything clever, so here’s a picture of Pippin when he was a puppy.

You know that $3 opt-in on your tax return for the Presidential Election Campaign Fund? Jill Stein is the only candidate getting any money from that in 2024. In theory, she's only allowed to use it for the "primary," which is why the Green convention is pushed as late in the year as they can.

After watching the State of the Union, hearing the dark and somber warnings between the list of recent accomplishments, and seeing the response from the Republicans, I believe this message from the Neutrals has never been more relevant or more dangerously true.

Laugh first; cry later.

This is what happens when anti-science GOP donut fucks get elected by a state filled with republicans that have the collective IQ of three carrots.

In other news, semi-sentient globule made of two parts human shit; one part seaweed, Marsha Blackburn, is topping the polls.

Fuck yeah TN.

Let me see a show of hands from anyone surprised that this SCOTUS, of whom one Justice’s wife played a part in the insurrection, announced today’s opinion?

You know, the same SCOTUS with three stolen seats? With some of the same Bush v. Gore justices?

No? No one? Huh.

You’re welcome to provide a source where someone was celebrated for killing a two day old baby. I’ll wait as long as you need to provide evidence that pro-choice people want that to happen and don’t think it’s sickening.

3/2 Additionally, far less care (USA) is put into foster care and adoption systems. They are frequently overhyped, but underfunded, understaffed, and continuously have budgets cut. George Carlin was right decades ago - “If you’re preborn, you’re fine; if you’re preschool, you’re fucked.”

While abortions do happen because the parent doesn’t want to have a child or they know they can’t properly take care of the child, I personally stand by the idea that it’s a *good fucking reason* because the world will have one less abused or neglected child. 2/2

Because no one is going around getting abortions for the hell of it. No one gets pregnant on purpose with the sole intention of getting an abortion. A large portion, if not the majority of abortions are for the safety of the mother and to avoid potentially lethal consequences from giving birth. 1/2

So I’m “fortunate” enough that I have parents and other close family members that drank the MAGA kool-aid. Long story short, the usual response is something about how abortion is murder and they will use that as a reason why France is now a “shithole country.” It blows my mind.

Reposting this with a different source. Here’s the SCOTUS opinion:

www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/23p...

Admittedly, if anyone saw my last post, it was hasty. That said, Trump has received the off-ramp he wanted and SCOTUS denied states the right to invoke the 14th amendment.

Vote.

It works out because they’re giving people what they want without having to go all the way and remove the pants altogether. If they remove the players’ pants, it messes up the game because they’ll always start with two balls. Heyo.

The frustrating part for me right now is that my second grader knows what “lying by omission” means, yet the people who actually like to see stuff like this pretend it’s a foreign concept.

I saw a comment on Reddit that I unfortunately think is true. If he’s saying something, it’s somewhat coherent, and you see even a single lowercase letter, it means he’s confident and genuinely believes he’s safe.

While I don’t disagree, ideally, the goal of a state government should be to improve the lives of their constituents, not use loopholes to make lives worse. We also all know the GOP would implode if the federal government imposed higher standards, not that the current congress would do that.

KY Republicans are using the same thought process as sovereign citizens by jumping through hoops, using “technicalities,” and finding “loopholes” to justify their insidious bullshit. Sure, the federal government “could” update the wording, but a “reasonable person” knows that they don’t need to. 2/2

When studying law, laws are based on the concept of a “reasonable person,” which is a way of saying people can’t twist it by saying “well teeeeechnically…” In other words, the federal government shouldn’t need to cowtow to something the KY lawmakers know is stupid as fuck. 1/2

Are you fucking kidding me? As a bonus, there’s a link at the bottom of this article that talks about Kentucky’s attempts to relax child labor laws.

Again, are you fucking kidding me? I *personally* know people that want this to happen in TN. As always, the cruelty is the point.

I’m still reaching for that level of insightfulness. Adulthood has ruined me.

I have a daughter named Abby, and she specializes in what I’ve started calling Abbyisms (better name pending).

Wife: “I did something today that I never thought I would do. I got a Dick’s Sporting Goods membership.”

Abby: “MOMMY LIKES DICK’S!”

“…the first priority of the country is our border,” says the man who recently tanked a bipartisan border deal. I feel like most people reading this are familiar with recent events, but it saddens me how many people in my personal life don’t know what is going on in congress right now.

Glenn Davis really is the worst, and the sad part is that anyone who was paying attention at the time knew exactly what was going to happen. Not only that, it has attracted and boldened multiple copycats who attempted (and fortunately failed) to run for city mayor last year.

I hope I’m not sounding argumentative. My hometown elected a wrestler as county mayor who left during a winter storm crisis to attend a Trump rally, and my local school board is trying to close schools. I’m not confident in GOP leadership at all in any level of governance.

Gov. Bill Lee and his administration have been especially set on gutting public education by implementing “small” changes here and there, so when I see something like this, I worry that the next step *will* be the right to refuse any and all “unapproved” marriages

Thank you for the clarification. My main concern, which seems to always be the case in TN, is that something like this is a baby step toward something more nefarious. When Roe v Wade was overturned, people predicted IVF etc. would be next, and here we are in Alabama.

Due to a lack of interesting things to say today, I leave you all with words of wisdom from my daughter when she was 6 years old. I hope it gives you all something to think about tonight. Daughter: “Ding dong! Texas is a real place! Look it up!”
