Darius managed to get his coat matted to the point that we had to have a groomer give him a “lion” cut. We’re working with him now trying to get him to accept brushing…wish us luck with it.

Imagine, if you will, a conspiracy of such profound darkness and breadth that it stretches its malevolent tendrils deep within the corridors of power. This sprawling cabal is orchestrating a diabolical symphony in league with forces that threaten to shatter the very fabric of reality and sow chaos in our perception of the truth. Their aim: to erase from the minds of Americans the belief that President Trump, the cherished leader, still rightfully reigns as the President of the United States, and that Joe Biden’s ascension to power was nothing more than a result of a rigged election.
At the heart of this malevolent plot lies a sinister alliance between the Deep State and our enigmatic alien lizard overlords. Together, they have constructed a weapon of unimaginable power, one designed to obliterate the minds of fervent MAGA supporters. In its wake, it will implant false memories, transforming these loyalists into liberal ideologues living within a fabricated reality. The need for FEMA reeducation camps, once deemed essential, will vanish into oblivion.
This sinister machinery, camouflaged as a technological breakthrough aimed at combatting neurological illnesses such as ADHD and schizophrenia, and other mental disorders like CRT and DEI now extends its capabilities to manipulate the very electrical impulses within the human brain. This technology heralds a new era in the manipulation of human cognition, akin to what biochemistry did for the human body. Yet, its concealed purpose goes far beyond benevolent intentions.
The depths of this conspiracy sink even further as infrasound weapons are deployed, with unwitting American citizens serving as guinea pigs in sinister experiments conducted in Havana, Washington, D.C., and other shadowy locations. The victims describe harrowing symptoms, including hearing loss, memory erosion, and unrelenting nausea.
But the question remains: where does this nefarious cabal procure the funds to fuel such a malevolent program? The answer lies hidden within the corridors of power, where patriots seek to slash investments in the National Institutes of Health (NIH). Their ultimate aim: to prevent this cabal from conducting dangerous gain-of-function research, all while Anthony Fauci plays a shadowy role in this unfolding drama.
And so, the true motives behind the Freedom Caucus’s push to shut down the government begin to emerge from the shadows, as they seek to unveil the dark secrets concealed within this sprawling conspiracy.

When shutdown occurs, here’s to hoping the House Democrats can keep their messaging consistent and concise. Not always their best skill.
Number of times the Democrats shut down the government? Let people know.
Good morning from Harley!

Pondered too long to be first. So, 7th or 8th or 9th, with a lizard who might’ve provided suitable entertainment for David Brooks and his burger’n’whiskey.

“Thomas and the Kochs frequenting the Bohemian Grove together, along with Harlan Crowe”
===
ProPublica excerpt:
Thomas’ involvement in the events is part of a yearslong, personal relationship with the Koch brothers that has remained almost entirely out of public view. It developed over years of trips to the Bohemian Grove, a secretive all-men’s retreat in Northern California. Thomas has been a regular at the Grove for two decades, where he stayed in a small camp with real estate billionaire Harlan Crow and the Kochs, according to records and people who’ve spent time with him there.
ETA: That can’t be right. Thomas was in the Walmart parking lot NEAR Bohemian Grove. Can’t be in two places at once libtards!

Meanwhile, in Wisconsin, if you can’t fire her IMPEACH HER! No, not new WI SC Justice Janet. We’re talking about the head of the election commission. They want to.fire her for doing things the same way as in 2016, as well as pandemic era changes created and approved unanimously by six people on the commission, not her.

House Republicans as government shutdown nears: Nobody told us we’d have to govern (msn.com)
Hello, I am a House Republican. As America hurtles toward a government shutdown, I and my fellow GOP colleagues would like to say that, in our defense, we really didn’t know “governing” would be one of our job requirements.
It sounds like an un-fun activity and, as we’ve made abundantly clear via myriad tweets and Fox News appearances, we think government is bad and we want nothing do with it, except for the parts where we get to yell into TV cameras and share devastating Hunter Biden memes. Those parts are great!
On Thursday, we made it impossible for House Speaker Kevin McCarthy – who we voted into power but also hate and now want to remove – to advance a military funding bill that usually passes with bipartisan support. It’s the second time in a row we did that! Why? Mainly for the lulz, but also because we kind of want the government to shutdown so former President Donald Trump will like us and so we can look tougher when we’re yelling into the TV cameras.

Love the restaurant’s response to Brooks’ nonsense. Though, my early morning brain thought the hashtag was saying “You can’t be a tour meat”
