Raise a glass for Kevin Drum.
Welfare Queen YLB comments frequently about PPP funds handed out to people who didn’t have a need for it it. From her comments one might think that people who stole PPP money and are caught doing something illegal in the process are people she would like to see prosecuted.
It’s a surprise, then, that a majority of House Democrats feel differently:
Chickwithdick Dylan Mulvaney, last seen singlehandedly taking down Bud Light, has a book out.
You’d think there simply cannot be a less likable Democrat candidate for CA governor than Boxcheck Momala.
You’d be wrong.
Anybody notice that gas is 31 cents cheaper this year than it was one year ago?
@2 the bill that just passed was for unemployment fraud. dumbfuck strikes out again.
https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2025/mar/11/house-passes-bill-punish-pandemic-fraudsters-dems-balk-blame-elon/
A lot of those fraudsters were in Africa, South America, places like that.. GLWT.. Better those Doge freeks chase ghosts in “shithole countries” than cut off people’s SS.
and wow, look, checkout the DM follower of HA @3.. Heh. It really cares. What a fan boi.
Never heard of Mulvaney until the Bud Light flap and didn’t much care because I never cared for Bud Light.
It was too funee watching dumbfuck go nutso over InBev – infamous for watering down beer brands it acquires – for munee.
But it’s even funnier that this pants shitter lover loves it some Bud Light.
Ooops.
Anybody notice that gas is 31 cents cheaper this year
Just in time for UFC fan bois to pay more for their bud lights in an aluminum can.
Courtesy of pants shitter and pants shitter fan boi Dana White.
Pants shitter could have tariffed Canadian oil and gas to greatly expand the pants shitter reward my friends fund..
but awwww.. too chickenshit.
Dana White guzzling a Bud Lite is plenty XX for widbee dumbfuck.
heh.
And so is pants shitter soiling its diaper.
HA’s unserious twat @ 6 decides there’s a difference between “COVID fraud” and unemployment fraud during the COVID pandemic.
Making this distinction, to her, gives her a sense that she can compete in a world of adults.
Pity it doesn’t fool anyone else.
a difference between “COVID fraud” and unemployment fraud
The bill says nothing about PPP..
Know why? Take a “serious” guess.
@2 Welfare Queen YLB comments frequently about PPP funds handed out to people who didn’t have a need for it it.”
Yeah, like people who created straw businesses with no employees and spent the money on houses and cars.
As usual you provided no link, maybe because this is who you’re quoting?

I provided a link — see how I did that? If you want to know why 127 Democrats voted against H.R. 1156, go to this document and scroll down to pages 38-39. There you’ll find a perfectly logical and valid explanation. Meanwhile,

You say Republicans are serious about prosecuting fraud? Sure, Jan.
From the link @ 8:
Trump’s issues with odor appear to have begun many decades ago, when he was in his thirties, which means either (a) they stem from a serious medical condition he has since endeavored to lie ruthlessly to voters about, (b) they stem from dubious personal habits like drug abuse that American voters have a right to know of, or (c) they arise from personal hygiene issues of another sort that Trump himself opened the door to regular discussion of on the campaign trail by (i) regularly attacking the personal hygiene of political opponents, (ii) making ageism (not to mention disinformation related to age) the centerpiece of his two campaigns against Joe Biden, and (iii) making a decision-in the midst of pursuing a white supremacist political base-to put himself forward as an ideal specimen of “alpha-male” toughness, charisma, and sex appeal.
widbee dumbfuck and other trolls have attacked lefties as smelling bad.. Very Nazist type behavior equivalent to the Nazis loathing Jews at every level imaginable, hygiene in particular
Interesting that the article notes that people who love pants shitter generally have a strong intolerance of noticeable body, fecal, decay, etc. odors.. This is borne out by the behavior of trolls here.
Too bad only a very few will get a whiff of their orange pants shitting dear leader.
Democrats win another one.

Of course the Texas measles outbreak is coming for you. It’s coming for everyone. It has already spread to New Mexico and now Oklahoma, too, and it will eventually engulf the entire nation. Doctor RKF Jr.’s prescription is to take Vitamin A to ward off the evil spirits.

@3 Beer-swilling wingnuts have every right to boycott Bud Light, or any other beer brand, for any reason or no reason at all.
Likewise, people who don’t like an unelected billionaire coming out of the shadows and tearing apart the federal government have every right to boycott Tesla cars.
No matter what Trump says about Tesla boycotts being “illegal.”

It’s pretty good.
@4 Your obsession with black female candidates (Stacey Abrams, Kamala Harris, etc.) is … weird. Other terms like “racist” and “misogynistic” might be apropos, too.
We’re sorry, but your planned National Park summer tour is ruined, because there is no one on duty to process your reservation requests. You could, however, consider camping in Walmart parking lots as an alternative.
@5 “Anybody notice that gas is 31 cents cheaper this year than it was one year ago?”
Recession fears will do that.
@9 “HA’s unserious twat @ 6 decides there’s a difference between “COVID fraud” and unemployment fraud during the COVID pandemic.”
That’s more serious than saying PPL loans and unemployment benefits are the same thing.
Ray Dalio is sounding a debt alarm, but it’s falling on deaf ears. If Republicans were serious about debt they would use savings from firing federal workers and slashing program funding to reduce deficits instead eliminating or lowering taxes for billionaires like Dalio by three times as much, thereby increasing deficits and adding to debt.

The Department of Education shrunk by half today. Which is sweet irony, since that’s about how many WA students read at grade level. Half.
Public school teachers and their precious WEA/NEA are an embarrassment to society.
18)Hope They don’t affect any of The monuments on the Freedom Trail in Boston over the next 100 days. Very important celebration, probably more important now.
Dumbfuck Nazi was lying @ 2 (h/t Roger).
Why should anyone assume Nazi Dumbfuck isn’t lying some more at 22 and every other time he posts?
@22 So get them to put down the goddamn phones. But how are you doing to do that? Principals and teachers want to know.

So taking money away from struggling schools for things like special education going to improve test scores? I suspect this Republican minister from North Carolina will say those students should pray more. But there’s always been a ton of prayer in schools, you know. When there’s a test the students do a hell of a lot of praying.
POTUS is now a car dealer, and the White House driveway is now a car lot.

Here’s a federal employee DOGE should fire.

Every Democratic member of Congress should memorize the name “McLaurine Pinover,” and every time any Republican pontificates about “waste, fraud, and abuse,” ask this question: “Has McLaurine Pinover been fired yet?”
@26 BTW, Lutnick is likely to be the first cabinet secretary to get fired.

I have a business that imports dairy products from Canada. 250% tariff fucks me.
You know the US didn’t start the dairy tariffs thing, right? Maybe ask the Canucks why they’ve got a 298% butter tariff:

• There is no presidential election in 2026.
• DJT47 is term-limited.
Strong, strong post, Robinhood Dumbfuck Rabbit. Pity you did not spend much time wondering whether Biden would run in 2024, back when it was early 2023.
“Hey, as long as we’re being fired anyway, let’s destroy any and all evidence that proves we all deserve it.”
USAID official tells staffers: Shred and burn your documents

Reconsider your previous decision not to run, Gov. Sununu?

He very proudly renegotiated NAFTA to become USMCA and signed off on those dumping penalty terms for Dean Foods and DFA.
Dean was entering bankruptcy at the time due to massive overproduction and looking to dump excess product through its Canadian subsidiaries where there are no government imposed price supports. So in order for Dean to obtain permission to dump limits were agreed to. In the end Dean failed and DFA bought their operations and with reduced production never exceeded the dumping limits. Deans Canadian subsidiaries were sold to Canadians. And now DFA has no market leverage in Canadian distribution.
Trump and DFA signed off on all of it. And Canada very kindly granted DFA an enduring license to dump in Canadian markets, but without coercive market controls and only within the negotiated dumping limits. And those limits have never been exceeded.
So Dean Foods in a desperate bid to avoid bankruptcy started a dairy war against Canada. And Trump acting on the advice of DFA forced them into bankruptcy so that DFA could buy them out cheap. And in exchange for going along with that scheme Canada demanded that DFA agree to strict dumping limits.
