So there. From Politico: Playbook PM: A Jan. 6 insider on the transition team? A J6ER INSIDER? — PETE MAROCCO, a former Trump administration official who was reportedly caught on camera inside the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, is now … Continue reading Tuesday’s Politics thread was not found at a PA McDonald’s
Howdy, friends. This week’s bird is the grey crowned crane. This bird has a dizzying array of AKAs I will not transcribe here, because frankly none of them are funny. The gray crowned crane is found throughout Africa, especially in … Continue reading The WPT Joins in the Dance
I really thought Pete Hegseth would withdraw from the nomination process and I’d be writing about that. But here we are. Continue reading The Friday Politics Thread Bet on the Wrong Horse
Behave and remember to tip the mods Continue reading Emergency 12/5/2024 Politics Thread
It’s probably time I do a proper header. I’m still generally hiding away from political news, so why not some science news instead? After the collapse of the Antarctic Conger ice shelf in 2022, scientists reviewed satellite images to try … Continue reading The Wednesday Politics Thread Gets Scientific
It hurts to laugh, otherwise it’s ok. Thankfully the news is basically nothing but dark chuckles. Susan Collins continues to suck. From Politico (who ain’t much better): “GOP senators signal they’re open to Patel leading FBI. Even centrist Sen. Susan … Continue reading Tuesday’s Politics Thread had gum surgery yesterday, so don’t make me laugh
Hi folks. Nothing to say today, too full of turkey and stuffing and other stuff. I hope all who celebrate had a peaceful Thanksgiving and I wish you all a good weekend. Continue reading The WPT is in a Food Coma
And a little sleepy. We’ll pretend like polotics is taking a break this week, except to let you know that Amazon is on strike this weekend, if you’re inclined to participate. Or, not participate, as the case may be. Be … Continue reading The Friday Politics Thread Is Still Kind of Full
It’s Turkey Day in America! For those who celebrate, enjoy the turkey, and the dressing, and the cranberry sauce with imprints from the can like God intended. POTUS famously pardons a turkey every year. Until recently, said turkey went to … Continue reading The Thanksgiving 2024 Politics Thread
Traveling today, as I’m sure many of you are. Everyone be safe and, if you’ll be celebrating Thanksgiving, have a wonderful holiday. I am thankful for this community. Be kind and thoughtful today. Cheers. Continue reading The Pre-Thanksgiving Politics Thread
I am on the road today. Hopefully my trip back will be better than my trip down because my windshield was hit by a lugnut (I think) on the way down. It hit the passenger side and right on the … Continue reading Tuesday’s Politics thread is homeward bound
Howdy, friends. I hope you are all well. Avoiding the news has really improved my mental health, but I do miss you all. Going from hanging out all day, every day for the better part of eight years to not … Continue reading The WPT Just Needs Your Hair
What a week! Matt Gaetz is out as AG pick, Pam Bondi is in as AG pick, MTG is the head of some House DOGE committee, and that’s just what happened yesterday! What fresh bullshit awaits us today? Let’s find … Continue reading The Friday Politics Thread Is Doing Great
So I’m putting up another emergency thread. Any takers? Do your thing. Etc. Etc. Mayor McSquirrel. Etc. Continue reading Thursday’s Politics Thread is still up for grabs
Happy Wednesday, Politicados. I’m still taking a politics break, though I am finding myself peeking in on the PT every now and then, so perhaps the time will come to once again fully immerse myself. It does worry me a … Continue reading The Wednesday Politics Thread is Still on a Break
