Bite me, Musk.

Progressive political commentator (print, radio, podcasts) for years. I post a lot: breaking news + legit info you can use, prone to snark. My mini Australian Labradoodle, Hamilton, has trained me well.

Now where's my trough of wine? 🍷🇺🇸🇨🇦

“One of two Black contestants chosen for that season in 2010, Folkes was insulted that #Trump had called him inarticulate and accused him of illiteracy in a lengthy boardroom tirade minutes earlier.

As the crew member, a Black woman who worked as a contestant manager, consoled him, Trump suddenly appeared at the bar.

They're even projecting about THIS!

Via Patriot Takes:

MAGA used a deceptively edited video posted by “RNC Research” to claim Joe was sitting in an invisible chair or “pooping” on stage.

Fox News host Jeanine Pirro later deleted her tweet. Politifact lists others who pushed the fake narrative.

Nighty night.

I'll post news alerts should they come my way.

I'm in a mood, yes. I've been unable to do what I need to do bc of this dumb cold, so if I was cranky to you, apologies.

And btw, when I say I'm sorry for not replying, it's not bc I think you're dying for my pearls of wisdom, it's because I hate being rude and making anyone feel ignored. it's a thing with me.

Thanks for your get-wells. ❤️
