So, wildfire season has started in Washington. I had been enjoying the weather, but of course there’s a downside. Get ready for smokey days.

Please enjoy this AP summary that suggests the Democrat redistricting own-goal could cost the Democrat party as many as 8 House seats.

S&P 500 hits record on strong jobs report and Iran deal hopes, heads for 6th straight winning week
The last rational Democrat.
Opinion
John Fetterman: I haven’t changed. Here’s what has.
Working across the aisle is the only way forward.
Small wonder the GOP would love him to flip.
I wonder if this scares Hakeem Jeffries as much as that 2019 Virginia legislative seat flip scared Cocaine Mitch.
What do you think, YLB?
T-shirt sale.
“Last purchased 34 minutes ago.”
So the Ag Secretary is super smart.
Going on the Fox to argue for making poor people’s lives harder,
We’ll start with meat is protein. Granted, per oz chicken, pork, and tuna deliver more but beef comes in at #4 in protein packed food choices. Jerky is a big deal in the KETO diet set so much that MAHA freaks will regularly tell you which new viral marketing brands have the lowest sugar and highest macros.
And who might need a shelf stable, transportable protein source. Maybe people without stable housing? Someone lacking refrigeration?
But to MENSA Rollins here those people should be grabbing some raw pork (“Can you believe these food stamp people can buy steak”) and find a way to cook it and eat it all before it gets toxic. What’s a daily trip to the store if you’re poor?
Following the Democrat trend line out a little more than two years, Karen Bass will be the 2028 DNC presidential nominee.
I think there should be a rule that voting not be a secret, and that once you cast your ballot that it should be made public knowledge.
And then afterwards, when the party/person elected, that you voted for, does something you don’t like or you disagree with then you have no recourse but to be told, “too bad, next time know who and what you are voting for, and whatever it is you are asking for as recourse then that is too bad… denied”
Depends how you define “cost”. You might end up living in a world that leaves you with a dictatorship and Fascist society that effects you as well, and maybe the cost will effect you too. And if it effects you in an ill will then we will clap.
Like you bought solar for a reason. I assume maybe it had something to do with keeping the planet livable and healthy. No? Was it for fun, like planting a tree? Well, good luck with keeping the planet healthy.
Think $10.00/gal gas. I’m all for it! Droughts! I’m all for that too.
the goal of the above quoted spew is nothing more than trying to rub your nose in “losing”, and has no thought process to what was said.
When the day comes where the clowns have to make decisions on whether to save themselves or a Dumbfuck Doctor, well my bet is that the Dumbfuck Doctor will be in peril.
hehehehehe
It would be great if he did flip. He brings stench to the Democratic party. Never liked the slob – you didn’t either, but only at first I guess. You are an it without any convictions or morals.
Goes to show you how the uneducated fall for losers.
They want him to flip to open up the seat.
A party change for Fetterman will work out worse than it did for Sinema. Pennsylvania operates closed partisan primaries. As an Indy Fetterman finishes third. As a MAGAt determined to pass a federal law protecting abortion access he can’t survive a MAGA primary.
This is clown shit.
@4,
Also Sean Davis:
“Republicans right now have no accomplishments, no plans, and no vision. Why on earth would anyone be excited to go vote for them 12 months right now?
Trump needs to ditch the foreign policy crap and focus all his attention on the domestic economy, which is still not working for the majority of people. Right now he looks weak and rudderless. Be mad all you want, but it’s the truth.
Newly minted college grads can’t find work and are saddled with debt. Where is their path to the American dream right now? Who is giving them a vision of a future worth fighting for?
You cannot have a viable country or future when half your country and all its young people are locked out of the economy and locked out of ever owning a home or much of anything beyond next month’s streaming subscription.
Does anyone in Washington care about this? Anyone at all?
Republicans had better wake up, because right now their nightmare is only beginning if they don’t start making massive changes.”
This is from the guy who created the “Black Crime” news aggregation tag on The Federalist for lazy racists. And that was from six months ago. Since then Republicans have publicly executed a mom and a nurse, opened a dozen torture facilities, shut down the government for a month, started a forever war that has wiped out most of our defense weapons stockpiles, and driven gas prices towards $6 a gallon.
Members of the House and Senate enrich themselves over many years with insider trading.
Trump and Company manipulate the markets through off again, on again stupid foreign policy activities.
The entire “club” is terrified of what is in the Epstein files.
We’re screwed, glued and tattooed!
It’s worse than that you’re fucked, Gym.
The wrestlers still have receipts of telling you of their abuse. Remember how you tried real hard to stonewall the Epstein files Gym?
Hey Pars, it’s all pedophiles and insider traders in government. Get used to it!
you can get use to it, or you can send them a message. A big message, one that will make them change their ways… that is if you have any balls.
What is the worse that happens? Clean energy?
Vote Dem on the full ticket, even if you can’t muster the thought.
Blame yourselves for not!
What is the worse that happens? Clean energy? Until then be screwed and tattooed, you dumbfucks. You should have seen this coming – you are the problem.
And what has the Repuke Party done?
They’ve embraced Pedos. You are the Pedo Class.

you guys should go visit, since that is all you care about.
I have tried for well over an hour and can’t come up with a better joke than the actual story
G, you surely are a whiney-assed little girl!
Proof the GOP voters haven’t learned a fucking thing.
https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2026/05/07/rubio-vance-2028-competition/
This guy is a slime ball.
And you’re real tough, living in your Mom’s basement. You’re the one whining all the time.

all true statements.
Hang them all……every last one.
Once that is done, then establish term limits and outlaw all political parties.
This is the Repuke Party. Bastards that they are.
https://www.washingtonpost.com/weather/2026/05/08/wildfire-fema-grants-delay/
Term limits? Hahahahaha.
That will solve a Pedos liking of young pussy for sure!
25
And not completely unexpectedly, you totally miss the point(again).
and don’t be such a chauvinist pig – plenty of them go after young dick as well…..Its just not PC to mention that.
If they went after the dick we wouldn’t be in this situation, they’d be too busy sucking cock and not starting wars, planning genocide and being greedy money grubbing pigs.
@16
Term limits for the inside traders would do a lot to correct the problem of lawmakers enriching themselves on non-public information. Term limits might also be beneficial to limit the pedophiles having influence in government. If the inside traders are banned from being there decades and decades, the billionaire pedophiles would have less time to buy the politicians, and they’d have to re-purchase often. That might make buying influence really expensive and more cumbersome.
It’s nice to see @ 6 HA libbies support a UFC & MAGA fan’s right to Snap Into A Slim Jim, courtesy of the US taxpayer.
@ 19
I have tried for well over an hour and can’t come up with a better joke than the actual story …
Tesla has recalled a total of 173 Cybertruck models … potentially causing the wheel to fall off, increasing the likelihood of a crash.
I tried for 15 seconds and found a recall of nearly 10x as many Ford F-150s because the wheel might fall off:
Is the joke to you that it’s a Cybertruck, or that in worst case people who bought Teslas might die due to a defect? And why is it funny because it’s Tesla but not funny when nearly 10x as many Ford truck owners might die due to a defect that could have the same outcome?
This is how weak liberals have become in 2026.
@ 28
Term limits for the inside traders …
Eric Swalwell was term-limited. George Santos, too.
Boxcheck Momala was limited to zero terms as president.
What makes this week even better is the Democrat highlight of the week was Boxcheck Momala’s endorsement of Karen Bass’ re-election effort.
S&P 500 closes at another record, notches longest weekly winning streak since 2024
It’s hard to pick the Democrat low point of the week. So many items to choose from.
27
man, that was a weak response, even for you.
Go back to sitting on that rickety wooden chair behind the dumpster in the alley.
G man obviously into the whole “age-gap” thing….gross.
19
this is the part where you don’t pay attention to the millions of other recalls.
You hate to see it.
@ 34
G man obviously into the whole “age-gap” thing
Gape, you must have meant.
30,
Cool story, Daddyo.
Ford builds and sells like 50,000 trucks and 1500 of them (3%) need to swing by a shop to have their lug nuts tightened.

Recent Notable Recalls (May 2026)
Tesla (Rearview Camera): Over 218,800 vehicles, including certain 2021-2023 Model Y and 2021-2023 Model 3, due to rearview camera display issues.

38
are you like, 15 or something? Definitely Gen Z……
no, Ford does not “sell like 50,000 trucks…..” LOL
Ford sold 830,000 F series last year alone.
Guy – what pretend reality do you live in?
Life comes at you fast.
This one embarked from Florida and will disembark in Florida.
RFK Jr. fired the entire department specializing in cruise ship contamination and handed the duties to another department with a total of 12 employees. In peak season 20-30 cruises depart Port Everglades on weekly according to Ron DeSantis tourism bureau. There’s also Port Miami and Port Canaveral.
and lets not get started on how awful the Ford 5.4 Triton series engines were…..literally MILLIONS ended up failing due to bad cam phasers, etc……multiple class action lawsuits filed.
Next up on shitty engines is the RAM 5.7 Hemi from the mid-teens,,,,what a pile of shit that thing is. If you can get it to live to 100k miles, you were lucky……..again, multiple class action lawsuits filed.
but yah, tesla has an issue and Mcdotcum gets a woody that he cant help but rub out, over and over again.
go jump on your Lime scooter and GTFOH kid

I have never ever heard of people getting sick on a cruise ship before…..I bet it hasnt happened at all in the last 50 years until just now…..
lulz.
Now we know why Secretary Real World was MIA for days following the deadly crash at LaGuardia.
He was filming ‘Road Rules TSA Family Style’.
To the Bootlicker @43
There were 16 GI cruise ship outbreaks in 2024. 13 in 2023.
Save that information for the summer. 4 in the first month of ‘cruise season 2026’
Those were not all Raptors, dipshit.
You’re a douche.
40,
That’s not really helping you, troll.
1,500 affected by the Raptor recall would be 0.18% of that production.
Now tell us, where do fucktards like you go to get warranty service for your broken Cybertruck?
At the “dealership” on Whidbey Island? /s
Been a busy day shopping for all the mothers in my life.
bloated fecal incontinent orange dear leader and the magat bowel movement is unpopular and will lose in November.
That is all.
I never said they were all Raptors, dicksneeze.
You act like a vehicle recall is a big deal, it isn’t. They happen all the time. You would know if you actually owned a vehicle.
Now go put your face in front of a Takata airbag and blow……
And no, you couldn’t drag my left nut, much less anything else.
I guess this is how MAGA likes to live.

We are all Chinese now.
Liberal-leaning publications are no longer able to act like things in California are normal.
LA is about to elect a socialist to solve the problem. LA is the Titanic‘s passengers voting to turn around in order to hit the iceberg a second time.
I thought it was only $50 mil. $70,000,000?
Oh, my apologies if you misunderstood me. It’s certainly not a big deal for me. Unlike you, I was never dumb enough to blow $80k on an electric “truck” with very limited range, limited capacity, no dealer network, no local factory service, and now suddenly fatigue failures of the wheel studs.
I think it’s hilarious. And I’m truly grateful for moronic Stans like you teaming up with Elmo for my amusement.
🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤯😉
Aww, poor Mcdotcum reduced to making fanciful projections.
Nah, I don’t own a Cybertruck – never been interested in one…..although if I had to choose between the Tesla and your Lime scooter, then Elon is getting my money.
I’m more partial to GMCs 3500 Denali when towing…..you ever done that before? Didn’t think so. How much can you tow with that Lime scooter of yours?
Electric cars have their place for sure. We enjoy our Caddy Lyriq very much….
Don’t you have a latte to make for someone now? Best get back to it….chop chop!
Nah, I don’t own a Cybertruck
Whelp. Too late now I guess. Shoulda thought of that excuse before you blubbered your stupid, pleading defense of Tesla quality.
Now we don’t believe you.
Till next time, dummy.
@ 56
I’m more partial to GMCs 3500 Denali when towing…
RAM. Cummins.. 5.9 back in the day, although times have changed and it’s a DEF, DEF, DEF, DEF world. But still.
RAM. Cummins.
That is all.
There’s always 2027.
But you still won’t be Speaker.
How do you think he parades us around town, we are his prized possessions.
57
AHAHHAHAAHAHHA, oh Scooter Mcdotcum, you really are a twenty something you? You act as if owning a Cybertruck would be some sort of insult…LMFAO. Pro-tip: Its not. I just dont own one – big deal.
And my “defense” of Tesla wasn’t a defense at all – it was merely pointing out how fucking idiotic your whole meme about “recalls” was. Scale of numbers is something you do not understand.
Your one of these guys who likes to post shit, but as soon as you get called out, your arguments get thin and one-dimensional. You are an un-funny shitposter with no meat behind the posts. Life experience might help, but you got a ways to go.
Now get on that Lime scooter and go enjoy the evening – outside of mom’s basement if possible.
Vicious Troll: RAM’s have certainly been solid, but from what I hear the new 6.7L ones like to break crankshafts with alarming regularity – I think the main cause is bad harmonic balancers from what I read. Also heard that they arent kind to camshafts either??
