Good gravy!

Such low standards, Donald.

Sometimes both at the same time.

I think it was. Jewish humor--not just for the Catskills. Sophisticated survivors know its profound power.

...just to see how bad the given person is going to be at the job. So far, it's been pretty bad.

reaction. I'm glad I'm not alone. It is so ridiculous I feel like I'm watching a TV comedy show skit.

I said that every day for four years. Now I'm saying it 10 times a day.

We know he'll top this one soon. Or should I say bottom?

ridiculous appointments. SNL needs to hire more people.

When can I get off this ride...

All those old f*cks who voted for Trump are in for a rough ride... And, unfortunately, so are we.

or Dr. Moreau.
my pick for AG is Draco.

Tomato, tomahto.

Oz won’t be intentionally cruel. No, he will be stupidly cruel which can be worse.

Dr. Hannibal Lechter is going to be very unhappy.

I mean, how could that make sense?

First stop, Wegdorf's, to pick up some crudités.

Get your personalized stationery fixed. "Former" and/or "President elect unless the United States is saved" are the correct words.

An ignorant pretender to the throne, appointing incompetents to be in charge of the very agencies that are there to help the American People.

Get out the quotation marks, "so-called president."

I think I need a bumper sticker. The people who get it would get it, and the Maga people wouldn't know what it means so I'm probably safe from getting shot while driving.

the orange asshole is about as deep and introspective as a puddle on a blazing hot day.

What's one more turd in the punch bowl at this point?

So what if he's a dead fictional character?

and pull the plug on the tv. Enough already. I got rid of cable so I didn't have to watch a bunch of fake ass losers.

Maybe Oz and Bobby Brainworm can compare notes.

. . . I thought from the title that it was going to be satire.

I should have known better.

The importance of this cannot be underestimated.

And I just got my Medicare supplement plan G. JFC.

Did the “illness industrial complex” cause the tangeloon to slur his words, drag his leg, and look like something my cat hacked up? Just asking, maybe the good Dr. can provide us with an answer.

Dr. Oz called it a “magic weight-loss cure for every body type.” However, the evidence supporting its effectiveness is limited and based on small studies.

Chairman of the Joint Chiefs Of Staff, perhaps? Or maybe co-emperor?

They are designed to screw things up and are certainly not meant to run anything competently.

Is anarchy the end game here?

" Jesus H. Roosevelt Christ". For those not familiar she time travels from the end of WWII back to the late 1800s and back and forth a couple of times. You can imagine that Scotland in the mid 19th century is confused by adding "Roosevelt" to her epitet.

get a fuckin circus

The optics from here...
Are not good.

The optics from here appear to reveal fecklessness at first glance...

I don't want to be overly harsh...
I just really want to understand.

Thanks's y'all and happy Wednesday!

where political analyst gasbags have insisted on only assigning the use of "populist ideology" by candidates to "Republicans" and never to Democrats.

So I think he is operating from that standpoint and attempting to deal with all those voters who had voted for him and 45 but not for Casey.

We had 2 years of a very rare circumstance here in PA with 2 elected (D) Senators at the same time (we finally got a (D) - Harris Wofford for the first time since the late '60s, initially by appointment and then election, in the early 90s after John Heinz was killed in an aircraft accident). Probably 90% of the time since, it has always been "split" 1 (D) / 1 (R).

Time will tell what he actually does.

Actions always speak louder than words.

This upcoming couple years will be the test.

I was trying to find a chart (or graph) of his votes since he was sworn in Jan 2023 to date and am still looking, but some sites that list his votes for various pieces of legislation and/or resolutions, show that he is voting pretty consistently with (D)s for just about everything.

We damn sure need reliable team players that understand the lay of the land and how to navigate it.

'Cause it's damn sure not easy being blue...

So naive.

for being "open" to provide to all those loons in this state who voted for him & 45 but not Casey, and then he can easily vote "no" (because we know the 45 administration wants huge cuts to what they derisively dub "entitlement programs" ).

We'll see!

The Billionaire Family Behind Dr. Oz Is One Of The Wealthiest Clans In Pennsylvania

After a close race, Oz just won the Republican primary for U.S. Senator in Pennsylvania. His ties to the state run through his wife Lisa’s ultra-wealthy family. Here is the definitive Forbes profile of the Asplundhs.

Trump-backed Dr. Mehmet Oz won the Republican primary in the Pennsylvania Senate race, after his opponent, the former CEO of hedge fund Bridgewater Associates Dave McCormick, conceded on Friday evening as a recount neared its completion. Oz is known nationally as the retired physician-turned-television-personality who became famous largely thanks to his ties to Oprah Winfrey. The talk show host regularly featured him as a guest on her Oprah show and she co-produced the Dr. Oz Show, which won 10 Daytime Emmys over a 12-year run that ended in early 2022, when he pulled out to focus on his political campaign.

He has made a fortune from TV—$9.3 million in pretax earnings last year alone, according to a government financial disclosure. He also raked in just under $1 million last year for speeches and appearances for the likes of Warner Bros. and the American Pistachio Growers Association, as well as from royalties for a medical device he patented with colleagues at Columbia University, where he was a professor of surgery.

But much of Oz’s fortune, not to mention his ties to Pennsylvania, come from a different source: His wife’s wealthy family. Her grandfather cofounded Asplundh Tree Expert with his two brothers in 1928. With $4.7 billion in revenue, Asplundh is now the 98th biggest private company in America and the fifth largest in Pennsylvania, with more than 33,000 employees. The 93-year-old company, which trims trees for electric utilities, municipalities and others, is run by the third generation of Asplundhs and owned by nearly 200 family members – who are collectively worth at least $3 billion.

That probably helps explain why the celebrity doctor was able to fund his campaign with $12.1 million of personal loans and another $1.7 million of contributions, the sort of money that most wouldn’t consider throwing away unless they knew they had an especially large stash as backup.

Just as qualified, and more entertaining.

The Clown Car is filling rapidly, gonna need a clown bus!

I saw the headline, and I sat here saying, 'please be The Onion, please be The Onion, please be The Onion.'

I can't take much more of this.

Dr. Oprah and Brainworm Bobby in charge of the nation's health.

We are all going to die.

Since Trump will create new agencies, how about an Agency of Quackery
