Hey gang, how was your weekend?

Just seeing the list of bills Governor Ferguson has signed, it looks mostly good. But other than the billionaire tax, nothing strikes me as particularly bold. Like, I don’t need every bill to be amazing, but I do want more.

I don’t know. Let’s he’s definitely better than any Republican would be. But, in a state that hasn’t elected a Republican governor since 1980, that’s not enough.

  1. Fat Hitler will die before admitting that he can’t secure the Strait of Hormuz without help. And the USN, its Senate sponsors, and giant contractors can’t allow any admission that their navy is shit at this kind of mission.

    But there is no reason NATO allies should assist Fat Hitler right after he threatens their sovereignty and attacks them economically.

    Not everyone is a groveling cuck like the lying troll and other MAGA cult puppets.

    But there is no reason NATO allies should assist Fat Hitler right after he threatens their sovereignty and attacks them economically.

    Of course not. Because oil prices don’t affect them. No effect at all on NATO nations’ consumer spending, interest rates, GDP.

  4. Never mind! We don’t need your help. USA USA USA USA.

    Freedom Fries!

    Drill Pedo Drill! Pedo Drills!

    During an interview Sunday with the Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC), the UAE’s Minister for International Cooperation Reem Al-Hashimy said that the United Arab Emirates is “doubling down” on its agreements with the United States following continued attacks by Iran.

    “Our relationship with the U.S. is a longstanding strategic partnership. It’s a partnership that doesn’t falter in moments of crisis, but has been built on decades of trust and mutual respect,” Al-Hashimy said, adding that “this doesn’t deter us, because we’re also a resilient bunch, and we don’t take to being bullied around, either.”

    Al-Hashimy described Iran’s attacks over the last two weeks as “almost unhinged” and said it will not change the “dynamics” of Abu Dhabi’s agreements with the U.S. and Israel. “If anything, we are doubling down on our friends. We are further cementing the strong ties that bind us.”

    Next year Britain will have a new PM. Who will have a massive cleanup, both domestic and international.

    By next year the US will have plenty of new friends.

  6. They invented this woke shit called renewable forms of energy.

    Let us know if you need any help!

  8. So ironic.

    Anti Europe (or West) and Pro Islam relations! Just don’t live in our fucking Country you towel heads!

  10. Still waiting for Megan Rapinoe to stand up for her international sisters in distress.

    Captain of Iranian women’s soccer team is latest to withdraw asylum bid: ‘Family members are missing’

    Tina Kordrostami, a councilor for the Australian city of Ryde, claimed the players were being ” heavily intimidated” by Tehran, suggesting their families were being used as leverage to get them back home.

    “I know families have even been detained. I know family members are missing,” Kordrostami told Fox News’ “Fox Report With Jon Scott.”
    …
    “We are very worried about them. We know for a fact that they will not be safe,” she said, referencing claims that the women face severe consequences once they return back home.

    Maybe if a couple of them came out of the closet Megan Rapinoe would give a shit.

  12. @ 10

    Speaking of closets and coming out, this morning Donald Trump was informed that US intelligence thinks the purported new Iranian leader, in addition to being legless and comatose, is a cocksucker.

    Wait until those 72 virgin boys find out that he’s also a bottom.

  13. Not everyone is a groveling cuck like the lying troll and other MAGA cult puppets.

    Someone’s been “cucked” since 10/5/2025.. compensates by fellating Israel.. Israel who has the dirty pictures of orangie.

    yawwwn…

  14. “If anything, we are doubling down on our friends. We are further cementing the strong ties that bind us.”

    Behold Al-Hashimy’s navy:
    https://www.globalmilitary.net/navies/are/ *

    LCDR McHale would make it straight to O-7.
    Then be executed at sea for consuming alcohol, which is strictly haram.

    *Just two servicable mine sweeping vessels, 178 ft long. For reference that’s less than half the size of Jeff Bezos’ party boat.
    No modern active countermeasure systems are currently equipped but are under procurement. But at least they have got chaff and flare launchers. Other than that, they’ve got a single 40 mm Bofors gun and 2 MANPADS. Ukraine destoyed Russian Black Sea Fleet vessels four times the size of these equipped with state of the art electronic warfare systems using drones launched from box trucks.
    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frankenthal-class_minehunter

  15. By next year the US will have plenty of new friends.

    This may depend on how MAGA cucks define “friend”.

    But certainly a long line of grubby minor tyrant nations will eagerly line up behind Israel and Russia to pull train on Fat Hitler and his cult of groveling idiots.

    So drop trou and fill-er-up!

  16. I think these ultra-Christian folks look at the Iran War mess as the Second Coming.

    News flash: Jesus ain’t coming back any time soon. In fact, he ain’t coming at all.

  17. At least 10 ⁠ships operated by Greek companies, and at least two Chinese-operated vessels, have sailed through the strait between Iran and Oman since U.S. and Israeli strikes began on February ​28, according to data from maritime specialists Lloyd’s List Intelligence and MarineTraffic.

    Ooooh! Ten!
    That’s 0.7 ships per day.

  18. Photos of young teens from homecoming, yearbook, and beach outings were turned into CSAM by the lying troll’s favorite Nazi Child Porn platform and distributed on Discord and Telegram and some were bartered for other child abuse imagery.

    https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2026/03/16/teens-sue-musk-xai-grok/

    It’s hardly out of bounds and honestly long overdue to ask why the lying troll persists in supporting the “X” platform that still serves to create and distribute child sexual abuse material. There are certainly plenty of other options available.

    Why would “X” be his platform of choice? /s (we know why)

  20. Bob is dying to bottom.

    And I don’t follow any Obama. Why does the lying troll?

  23. @1 It’s questionable whether he can secure the strait with help. But hey, go ahead and bomb the Kharg Island oil facilities, and see what happens.

    Iran: If we can’t use the strait, nobody can!

  24. @5 Next year Britain will have … a massive cleanup, both domestic and international.

    That’s trivial compared to the cleanup job the next U.S. Democratic president will have. Virtually every federal department and policy will need massive and very expensive repairs.

  26. @19 Donald Trump/DJT47 takes out Venezuela, Iran, and Cuba in one quarter.

    Last I checked they’re all still there. The best you can say is two of them are under new management, but not managements chosen by Donny Warmonger.

  27. @25: The point is no divine intervention at all in the near or distant future. It just ain’t gonna happen!

  28. Iran is no longer “politically incorrect”:

    Satire
    Supremely Progressive: Iran Becomes First Nation in World History Led by Gay Amputee
    Representation matters now more than ever

    The U.S. intelligence community recently assessed that Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei, son of the dearly departed Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, is “probably gay,” the New York Post revealed on Monday. The news comes amid reports that “one or two” of the younger Khamenei’s legs were amputated after he suffered severe injuries last month in the U.S.-Israeli airstrike that killed his father.

    Assuming the reports are true, Mojtaba Khamenei would be the first-ever LGBT amputee to lead a sovereign nation. Iran’s monumental achievement is certain to invigorate the American progressives who mourned the elder Khamenei’s demise. Many were already inclined to take the rogue nation’s side in its ongoing conflict with the United States and Israel. Democratic activists have long championed the view that inclusive representation—elevating members of historically marginalized groups to positions of power—is inherently meaningful and morally necessary.

    Biggest loser: Mayor Pete – the dickless homosexual thought the first gay amputee world leader might be he.

  29. Couple days ago the gas was $.40 cheaper. That’s a swing of $1.00 since the excursion, 😂

    Such a fig leaf is Israel and Shapiro.

    Laughable..

    Couple days ago …

    Couple days ago Cubans had internet service and Iranians didn’t.

    Life comes at you fast.

  32. Was expecting the CDU to win the LandTag election in the State of Baden Württemberg, Greens have been the Governiing Party in the state since 2011, with the last 10 supported by the CDU. THE CDU almost pulled off the impossible of being the Junior partner in a Grand Coalition,(for BW, Greens are now the establishment center-left bloc) running against policies that they had just supported. Results show the best possible state coalition is Green/CDU, or by some miracle, as in seat count they are equal) the reverse. CDU /Green. The Greens in BW have always been pragmatic, at times at odds with the rest of the party. Have to be in a state home to the contradiction of a state home to the auto industry, but also some of the most interesting rail transit networks for cities their sizes as in the case of Freiburg and Karlsruhe. Looks like for the next 5 years, the state premier will be the son of Turkish immigrants, Something third place AFD will be exploiting.

    https://www.dw.com/en/germany-news-greens-narrowly-win-baden-w%C3%BCrttemberg-election/live-76265491

    Was also the first election where BW switched from the primitive version of Germany’s Mixed Member Proportional system to more or less like the Federal with the second vote, that most states use. (Bavaria and Hamburg got some versions that use an open list instead of closed for the second vote that give voters more flexibility). The old system awarded compensatory seats based on runner up results in the district races.

  33. No lie. This is published in Al Jazeera:

    It’s almost like the Arab world didn’t like Iran very much.

  34. Democrats want the US/Israeli effort against Iran to fail more than the Arab world does.

  37. @ 36

    Trump’s complete lack of character should have prevented him from being president.

    An honest DNC and a competent Democrat presidential nominee would have.

  38. @37 If you were honest, instead of blaming the Democrats, you would blame the voters who elected him. And you’re one of ’em.

  40. It’s almost like the Arab world didn’t like Iran very much.

    Nobody other than Russia and Pakistan likes Iran. Certainly nobody here. So it begs wondering why the idiot lying troll seems to feel the need to come here to mock Iran?

    I mean, sure. Go for it. Fuck those assholes.

    But guess what, MAGA?

    Creepy, fake religious, ideologically rigid, degenerate old men are in charge of lots of nations. One in particular comes to mind at the moment…

    And that’s never been justification for doing Israel’s and Russia’s bidding before. Nor does it justify cratering the global economy, adding a half a trillion to the debt, and getting a bunch of good kids killed and a bunch more disabled.

    You wanna mock Khamenei? Great. Make some Reels and Tik Toks like everyone else. But perhaps polish up your routine a bit. It’s stale, unfunny, and still overly preoccupied with other men’s butt holes.

  41. Cheer for Iran? As usual the miserable cucked troll laughably tries and fayles to distract from reality.

    The reality of wtf ever happened to America First?

    The silly troll tries to sell that hatred of Muslims and being an Israel kneepadder drumpfs the economic misery of pants shitter voters.

  42. The Great Salt Lake is drying up for lack of water inflows, but the Republicans who run Utah have repeatedly blocked any and all water conservation efforts. Now they want federal taxpayers to pay for a billion-dollar pipeline from the Pacific Ocean to refill the lake so they can go on diverting snowpack runoff to water golf courses and lawns, for inefficient irrigation, etc.

  43. Please enjoy these numerous body-worn camera angles of the FO phase of life of Democrat congresswoman Jasmine Crockett’s Fall 2025 security guard, who FA by playing police officer. And then FA by pulling a handgun when he was surrounded.

    Those LEO who came in behind him were lucky they were not killed by crossfire. Blue lives matter, after all.

  44. Jasmine Crockett’s Fall 2025 security guard

    Did he rape a 13-year-old?

    Cuz Trump did.

  45. Poopy pants flayshun’ touches everyone:

    Just as inflation pressures were easing and policymakers were preparing to move toward rate cuts, a surge in energy prices (BZ=F, CL=F) driven by disruptions in the Middle East is complicating the global outlook. The result is a worsening policy dilemma: rising inflation risks on one side, and slowing economic growth on the other.

    Now we get to watch MAGA cult cannibals feast on one of their own.

  47. If that dude was still alive he could maybe get a pardon so he can solicit children for sex and get re-arrested.

  48. Joe Kent has more integrity than 53 GOP Senators?

    Did not see that coming.

  49. In deep red Gerrymandered Texas gas prices are about to hit the plus $1 mark since Donnie and his band of Yes Representatives when on ‘excursion’ in Iran. 2/17/26 $2.51 Today $3.48.

    That puts a standard fuel tank fill on that F-150 at $125.28. Three digits is a BIG psychological difference. Kind of why $99 is a popular price point for consumer goods.

    We’re gonna hear a lot about ‘Talarico Republicans”.

  50. This Iran War is a war of choice. Congress did not declare war on Iran, and something like 70%-plus of Americans are not in favor of the Netanyahu-Trumped-Up War. It is time for the Cabinet to step up and apply the 25th Amendment to remove Trump from office.

  51. From today’s meeting with Irish President Michael Martin.

    If I didn’t terminate Obama’s horrible deal, the Iran nuclear deal, you would’ve had nuclear holocaust.”

    Translated.

    “If I didn’t terminate everything that nigger who made fun of me did we’d have less white supremacy and I’m all about building those people up and making them proud boys again.”

  53. Keep talking into microphones:

    Hassett:

    If the war were to be extended, it wouldn’t really disrupt the US economy very much at all. It would hurt consumers, and we’d have to think about what we’d have to do about that, but that’s really the last of our concerns right now.”

  54. Cheer for Iran? As usual the miserable cucked troll laughably tries and fayles to distract from reality.

    The reality of wtf ever happened to America First?

    The silly troll tries to sell that hatred of Muslims and being an Israel kneepadder drumpfs the economic misery of pants shitter voters.

    Kind of the same for same-sex marriage. Most Americans don’t care about it, but for some reason the minority gets there way.

    Take your baby cries somewhere else.

    BOMB BOMB IRAN BOMB BOMB IRAN!

  57. 48,

    Joe Kent has no integrity.

    I’d say Joe Kent can read a poll, but that would be ridiculous.
    Joe Kent can’t read.
    Joe Kent has someone who can read a poll to him.

  58. It is time for the Cabinet to step up and apply the 25th Amendment to remove Trump from office.

    “The Cabinet” are so intimidated they can’t even wear their own shoes.

    Very stupid voters did this to us. Only voters can get us out of it.

  59. @57

    Doubt it. In polling 80+% of self described MAGA support the Iran Excursion. MAGA voters were the only thing Kent had going for him if he wants to make another run.

    Now that’s gone too.

    Kent for Dog Catcher!

  60. For REAL.

    Donald after all of Nato and China and Japan and Australia told him no on helping with a war of choice.

And that’s all I need too. I don’t need one other thing, not one – I need this! The paddle game, and the chair, and the remote control, and the matches, for sure. Well what are you looking at?
