Poor Irony. She had a long and fruitful life for many centuries. She arose in the days of the Greek dramatists, when Thespis stepped out of the chorus line and the theater was born. Some of the best writers in the English language, the satirists in particular, paid her great tribute. Irony was a star. She was a goddess. Then along came Trump and MAGA and murdered poor Irony. Over and over again. And then did the same with Satire and Farce. None of those gals can make a living these days in the Era of Trump. Here you will see J.D. Vance doing his level best to be a Serious Person and he is completely obvlious to the confession he just made about not only himself but his savior, King Donald. Oh, Irony. Would that you were among us. This would tickle your fancy, so.
he's already starting to look PENCEive..

Oh yes. J.D. may be the vice president at age 42, good for him. That can go but one of two ways: either a stepping stone to the top job, or an early career burnout. Guess which one I’m predicting? And of course what the job really is, is playing straight man to the lunatic *comic* which is Donald Trump. Good luck, J.D. Many have tried before you. The phrase, Everything Trump Touches Dies didn’t come into fashion overnight. It stays in daily parlance and gets repeated as often as it does because there are constant new examples of how true the adage is. Now going along the same lines of zero self awareness, scope out this.
So all these Fox News hosts in the trump administration are qualified?

Merrily, merrily, we row along, completely oblivious to what’s going on. Row row row your boat, gently down the Potomac, where, life is but a nightmare. Unfortunately, it’s the yous and mes that can’t get out of the nightmare. We are doomed to remain here for four years.
But in two years we can stonewall Trump’s excesses by taking back one or both chambers of Congress. We did it before. We can do it again. We must think of nothing else.

Friends, I am forced to self-promote and ask you for money. We had a bad year compared with 2023 and the end of the year has been catastrophic. Traffic died on November 5. We are a small blog and completely self-supporting by ad revenue, donations, and subscriptions. If you can afford a monthly subscription that would help us out. If you can make a small donation, likewise. Our only goal is to stay in business and give you the best content we can generate. You are the wind beneath our wings. Thank you. Ursula
Lara…thanks for the reminder of where we are, thanks to you and the American Nazi Party,(gop)…at the gates of hell. May you enter soon. Good thing Tom Petty won’t be there, or he’d kick your sorry entitled ass for destroying his song.
How the hell did Vance get into Yale Law, let alone graduate? He isn’t a legacy and his family isn’t rich enough to endow a buIlding.
Every bureaucracy has room for idiots…as long as they do what is required.
