Good morning everyone, and Happy Friday! I was thinking about the news media in the United States this morning. It’s really pretty terrible, if you think about it. It seems to be mostly Twitter based, headline grabbing hot takes that are fired off with dubious credibility and incomplete facts. The “blue ripple” crap from last week is a great example. “Dems in disarray!” How about you wait for votes to actually be counted, Hot Take Factory? Oh, and forget TV news. Half of it seems neutered, the other half is outright propaganda. But what do you do? We live in … Continue reading The Friday Politics Thread Melts Down

Good morning, and happy Friday! I haven’t checked the news yet. Do we still have a functioning government? Hah, just kidding! The government hasn’t functioned in 2 years. Do not threaten Mayor McSquirrel! Continue reading The Friday Politics Thread Has A Constitutional Crisis

Good morning everyone, and happy Friday! As excited as I am to vote next week, I’m also feeling a bit of dread. It’s clear that as long as Trump is in power, elections will be a way for him to ramp up his dangerous rhetoric and play to his base’s nastiest instincts. Here we go! Do not threaten Mayor McSquirrel! Continue reading The Friday Politics Threat Amends The Avoconstitution

Good morning everyone, and Happy Friday! I’m trying to imagine what the GOP reaction would be to a bunch of Republicans getting mailed pipe bombs. They would probably start trying to jail Democrats and cancel elections. The world has gone mad! I wish I had more to say, but I’m just so exhausted by everything at this point. By next week my thread is just going to be illegible scribbling. Don’t threaten Mayor McSquirrel! Continue reading The Friday Politics Thread Has a Suspicious Package

Good Morning everyone, and happy Friday! I guess I have those words. And those words, and those words, and…. This is all I’ve got, sorry folks. Gotta get to work! Do not threaten Mayor McSquirrel Continue reading The Friday Politics Thread Has No Words

Good morning everyone, and Happy Friday! As usual with Fridays, I’m expecting someone to get fired. We know it won’t be John Kelly, because Trump doesn’t know how to fire him, apparently. I wish I had that kind of job security! Do not threaten Mayor McSquirrel! Continue reading The Friday Politics Thread Can’t Wait ‘Til November

Good morning everyone! Writing this post the night before what feels like a very important day in American history is…strange. Normally, I try to write my threads on Friday mornings, so I can try and shoehorn in some of the latest news last minute. Every once in a while I’m afraid I’ll wake up to a mushroom cloud, and my Friday PT will autopost some footage of Hands Across America. Because my primary concern, upon awaking to a mushroom cloud, is definitely going to be “how topical is my politics threeeeeeaaa-” *lights on fire* I’m not sure I meant to … Continue reading The Friday Politics Thread: Judge-ment Day

Good morning everyone! I would wish you all a Happy Friday, but it doesn’t seem right this week, with a rapist being forced by the GOP onto the Supreme Court against the consent of most of the country. There is a palpable sense of dread building, like we’re headed towards a very important, dark moment in American history Hold on to your butts. Do not threaten Mayor McSquirrel! Continue reading The Friday Politics Thread Braces For Another Day in Hell

Good morning everyone, and Happy (Firing) Friday! I’m going camping this weekend, so starting this evening, I’m going to be off the grid, and can briefly forget about how horrible a GOP controlled government with Donald Trump as president is. What new horrors await us today? Be nice! Don’t threaten Mayor McSquirrel! Continue reading The Friday Politics Thread Returns to Nature

Good morning everyone, and happy Friday! What wackiness awaits us on today’s edition of Firing Friday? Also, how does anyone actually like Andrew Cuomo enough to vote for him? The guy has the charisma of a worn catcher’s mitt. Be nice to one another, and don’t threaten Mayor McSquirrel! Continue reading The Friday Politics Thread Resists

Good morning everyone, and Happy (Firing) Friday! Our government is seeming more and more broken every day. Ben Sasse, of all people, brought up a fairly decent point about how our legislative branch has been slowly handing over power to the executive branch and deliberately hamstringing its own ability to be held accountable by voters. It was a pretty good speech, to be fair, but as usual with Sasse, it was undermined by the fact that he’s as much of a part of the problem as anyone else in the GOP by enabling a maniac like Trumpy. We’ve seen this … Continue reading The Friday Politics Thread Awaits Judge-ment

Good morning everyone, and Happy Friday! This has been a brutal 2 weeks of work for your FPT host, and this 3 day weekend is just what the doctor ordered. That, and boatloads of drugs and political discussions. If I could only half ass my way through my job, not bothering to learn anything, constantly insulting my coworkers, spending most of my time at golf resorts instead of the office, and barely being able to grasp the English language, life would be so much easier. Do not insult Mayor McSquirrelnor threaten him, as tempting as it might be! ***I can’t … Continue reading The Friday Politics Thread Has No Dignity

Good morning everyone, and happy Friday! The news writes itself nowadays, so I don’t have much to say. Bake em away, toys! Be nice to each other, and don’t threaten Great Leader McSquirrel Continue reading The Friday Politics Thread is NO CLOLLUSION WITCH HUNT!

Good morning everyone, and Happy Friday! Short one today, as I forgot to schedule this last night and I have to get to work. Half assed! Something something everything sucks, Trump is stupid, sex clams, etc. Be kind to each other, and don’t threaten Mayor McSquirrel! Continue reading The Friday Politics Thread Is Running Out of Things to Say

Good morning everyone, and Happy Friday! Space….the final frontier. Is this serious? How do we stop this? Is there stopping it? Look, if there is going to be a space force (there isn’t), then I’d like to volunteer. Why not? Maybe when whatever aliens show up to mercifully wipe out humanity, Reaper style, then I can spend my last days kicking some space-butt! Or getting sucked out of an airlock when Space Sarge hits a mis-wired plastic console button on Space Cruiser SS MAGA. Whatever. It’s my dream, dang it! Be kind to each other! Don’t threaten Mayor McSpaceSquirrel! Continue reading The Friday Politics Thread Builds A SPACE FORCE

Good morning everyone, and Happy Friday! What fresh hell awaits us today on this current edition of Firing Friday? Will Barron be removed from his post as CyberMaster General? Is it going to be Jared replaced by an animatronic Andrew Jackson? Let’s find out! Do not threaten Mayor McSquirrel, Be kind to each other! Continue reading The Friday Politics Thread Isn’t a Trick, It’s a Collusion

Good morning, and Happy Friday! Not much to report today, besides the usual shit tornado spewing out of the White House. It’s Firing Friday, though, so maybe we’ll see some bozo get canned. Who knows?! Do not threaten Mayor McSquirrel! Also please be kind to your fellow Avocados Continue reading The Friday Politics Thread Never Surrenders

Good morning everyone, and Happy Friday! We haven’t had a Firing Friday in a while. Are we due for one? Is there anyone left for Trump to fire? Jared? And what the hell is going on with Putin and Trump? Donald’s crush on this man has gone from suspicious to downright creepy. Next he’s going to give him his own set of keys to the White House. Don’t threaten Mayor McSquirrel! Be kind to your fellow Avocados! Continue reading The Friday Politics Thread Is Nyet Puppet!

Good morning everyone, and Happy Friday! This week, Donald has been embarrsing himself and all of us in from of the whole world. Which, I guess, has become a bit of a trend. I guess that mythical presidential pivot is never happening? In other news, I had a dream that I caught Stephen Miller going through my utility bills while relaying information to someone on the phone. While in retrospect he could’ve been paying my bills for me, Dream Chip was having none of that shit and it quickly turned into a brawl until the garbage truck outside woke me … Continue reading The Friday Politics Thread Embarasses Itself

Good morning everyone, and Happy Friday! Can I be happy that that barrel of sentient corruption Scott Pruitt is out of here, and still Sad! that some other incompetent boob will shuffle in to fill his place? Eh, I’m going to go grab a bagel. Sweet, sweet carbs…. Anyway, enjoy this picture of Bryce Canyon I personally took, before the oil barons divide up the land in 2021. Do not threaten Mayor McSquirrel or any other posters! Continue reading The Friday Politics Thread Cares About The Environment
