Thrilling Monday report, see man: No reply after promise from new JC, man. Spent entire morn dealing with Uncle T-B., senior he man. Uncle T-B. forgot about today's doc appointment, man.

There was much back & forth, waste of time in life man. He finally said, "Why are you arguing over free air, huh man?" We said, "Why don't YOU just air the damned tyres without horsepoop, huh man?" Little snot rolled his eyes, snorted, and complied, should've gotten his butt fired but we were hungry man. Returned to casa at nearly 1 p.m. without having consumed anything, no ingest we man.

Slimebucket. ~~~~~~~~~ Jack Smith's Final Stunt In a footnote contained in a motion last week, the Department of Justice disclosed that Special Counsel Jack Smith officially resigned on January 10. Smith had announced his plans to leave the DOJ a few days after Donald Trump won the presidential election. But it appears Smith, the losingest prosecutor in DOJ history, pulled one more stunt on his way out the door: sending an unnecessary and one-sided "report" on his two failed prosecutions of the incoming president to Attorney General Merrick Garland.

John Fetterman (D-PA) did not emerge from his meeting with President-elect Donald Trump with a promise that the Braddock Democrat would be named the "Pope of Greenland," but Trump said Fetterman did earn his admiration for his commonsense approach to governing. "It was a totally fascinating meeting. He's a fascinating man, and his wife is lovely. They were both up, and I couldn't be more impressed," Trump said of Fetterman and his wife Gisele after the hourlong meeting at Mar-a-Lago. "He's a commonsense person. He's not liberal or conservative. He's just a commonsense person, which is beautiful," Trump said in an exclusive interview with the Washington Examiner.

Bigamy is having one wife too many. Monogamy is the same thing.

Or maybe revoke his, uh, husband apparatus via violent surgical resection?

The JC e-mailed us earrrrrly Monday morn (like Bro-G time -- perhaps a disqualifier) to promise comprehensive answers to our initial e-mail after she dished the warsher & laundried, domestic JC man. She attached fotos not of herself, but of the dishes & laundry, see with shock we man. We don't yet know her living arrangements, no man, but it's either with a large family or she let stuff up-pile, wow man. Very nice-looking casa, however, see man.

Aren't they into multilevel marketing of health supplements, huh man? Or wiggling their wieners after eliminating fluids, huh man?

As long as you don't fall asleep mid-message, the insights are interesting to the curious among us. Good for Florida, but at this point, it sounds like California is 100% hosed.

Interesting stories. Remember that we have a dedicated wildfire thread, too.

Thrilling Sunday report, see man: We did not leave the casa all day, ensconced we man. Part of the reason was to await the hoped-for communication from the JC, hope we man. It was also an icky-drippy rainy day, blah man. Our one LL was done early, domestic we man. We dished/de-dished the warsher early, domestic we man. Lunch was Tuna Glop, ingest we man. A siesta was then taken, zzz we man. Din-din was 2 turkey-&-cheese sandwiches, ingest we man. Ex-Mrs.-T-B. brought Mini-B. actually before AFV began, mirabile dictu for Two Guys week man. Some Nerf football was played, briefly man. Ex-Mrs.-T-B. was amused to observe miu's fascination with new toy, a real miu-hit man. Mini-B. actually watched all of AFV with us, watch Two Guys man. Of course, he was hungry, why doesn't ex-Mrs.-T-B. feed him adequately on Sundays man? Of course the JC finally e-mailed us after all this, wasted an uninterrupted weekend man. We are trying to figure out how & when to chat, complicated by Mini-B.'s presence man. We also suspect that the JC goes to bed quite early, but must confirm this man. We must ask her if we should shave our flowing locks so she can't scalp us, must remember we man. We must clean miu-box and put garbage bag with the neighbor's, parasitic we man. Party with the rubias tonight, cavort we man. Must skool Mini-B. and take Uncle T-B. to doctor, chauffeuristic we man. And that was/is our thrilling Sunday, report we man.

Sunday! Time for our highly effective, always-hilarious Official Weekly VAWA-Thread Joke: =========================================== LOST COUNT A young lady who had hay-fever went to a dinner party and took two handkerchiefs, one of which she stuck in her bosom. At dinner, she began rummaging left and right in her bosom for the fresh handkerchief. Engrossed in her search, she suddenly realized that conversation had ceased and people were watching her, fascinated. In confusion, she murmured, "I KNOW I had two when I came here."

The cactus seemed to have an immediate retort for everything the Vice President said, confounding Harris' intellect as she steadily lost control of the dispute. "So, you think there's great significance to the passage of time, huh cactus?" asked the Vice President.

Democrats Killed Los Angeles And No One In Power Cares The horror that has hit Los Angeles is something we haven't seen since Mrs. O'Leary's cow kicked over that lantern in 1871. Back then, Chicago burned to the ground and roughly 300 people died. That was more than 150 years ago, things were different then, and things are very different now. There is literally zero reason for a repeat, in any respect, of what happened in Chicago, and yet we are getting just that because of the mentality of the radical progressive leftists who've run that city for all but 8 of the last 64 years. The Great Chicago Fire makes sense in a weird way. Wood and brick were the building materials of choice back then, and wood burns like mad. There were no zoning laws to speak of; buildings were clustered together because "traffic" was a bunch of horses stopping for water or a poop. Go to any old town's "historic district," and you'll see what I mean – it is not rare to find "roads" or alleys where you or a friend can touch buildings on both sides of the street. When fire hit one house, it risked wiping out the block or the section of town for those very reasons. Add in the infancy and luddite nature of the firefighting profession and technology and it was a recipe for disaster. Almost every major city around back then has some (much smaller) version of the Great Chicago Fire. But we aren't living 150 years ago. Los Angeles is not a densely clustered town of swinging-door saloons and rickety wooden buildings; it is heavily regulated (just try to build something there or put a pool in your own backyard, and you'll find out how heavy-handed a government can be), and sprawling metropolis with millions upon millions of people. There is more money in the greater Los Angeles area than most countries in Africa and South America. "Modern" is an understatement to describe LA, or at least describe how it was…how it appeared to be.

Greenland PM Says He's 'Ready to Talk' to President Trump About Its Future Greenland Prime Minister Múte Egede has expressed readiness to meet with President-elect Donald Trump, who has floated the idea of purchasing the land from Denmark. Trump's 2019 proposal to buy the region has resurfaced, with the island's leader now signaling openness to discussing future cooperation. This development has raised eyebrows, with many questioning whether a meeting could revive discussions on trade, defense, and resources or if it will simply highlight the strained political dynamics between the U.S. and Denmark, Greenland's autonomous territory. A reporter asked Egede if he had spoken with Trump about a potential deal. He confirmed that he had not but was "ready to talk." "Cooperation is about dialogue. Cooperation means that you will work towards solutions," the prime minister said.
