Smarmy attorney. Captain of chivalry. Baron of decency. Tadpole of villainy. Yeoman, Starfleet. If knaves persist and insist, I shall resist till they desist.

[Barredbard (@barredbard.bsky.social) @Barredbard]

Although born in this century
At all times I believe in decency
And I worship truth and its currency
My abilities, inclinations are forensic
To these principles I'll stick
Follow me at your risk
From a fallen angel, a hidden kiss

Happy President’s Day. This President’s Day, let us rate all American presidents by the only thing that matters: their looks.

"Join ICE," the musical by Jesse Welles. A song for the times and the climes . . .

Abraham Lincoln said, of Melania’s inane documentary: “That’s the worst experience I have ever had in a theater.”

@Homeoffree61 @TheRealThelmaJ1 That's why I'm eating the cats, as the President suggested.

@atrupar @hushnowlilbaby Oh, let’s see. The invasion of another country populated by minorities, and who also have crude oil?

Achievable by the simple expedient of throwing darts at a map of all OPEC countries, sans Middle Eastern ones, of course.

@Daractenus @chinwind1 We're not okay with it. But all three branches of our government have been corrupted and co-opted. Our constitution grants us no viable options. We're protesting, but that only goes so far. You can criticize us. You can laugh at us. But these are the facts.

@SkylineReport Put not your faith in SCOTUS. Thanks to my very own Uncle Tom (Clarence), Justice Roberts, and their ilk, that high court has all the integrity of a squirrel on meth . . .

@LePapillonBlu2 @klingensmith_j They do. It’s the joy of a federal system. He committed both federal and state crimes. If the feds won’t prosecute, the Minnesota can. And should.

[Barredbard (@barredbard.bsky.social) @Barredbard]

@TheRickWilson @LazuliLady Trump can pardon him for federal crimes. Turns out murder, aggravated assault, assault with a deadly weapon, assault and battery, etc. are state crimes . . .

[Barredbard (@barredbard.bsky.social) @Barredbard]

@smc429 @suzie462 Actually? Pretty hard. The. Constitution affords no options for citizens when all three branches of government have been compromised.

Presidente Trumpito's Inaugural Address https://t.co/zaxqqAvGlG via @YouTube

Tourists warning.

I am no longer under this impression . . .

most Americans are good people

but the United States government has fallen under the control of violent white supremacists

[Barredbard (@barredbard.bsky.social) @Barredbard]

Shower heads for mutton heads. A critical concern . . .

[U.S. Rep. Kathy Castor @USRepKCastor]

Everyone join me in giving House Republicans a big round of applause!

Their first bill in 2026 is to address shower heads because President Trump doesn't like the way his hair looks.

Congratulations on finally acting on what the American people want. This surely fixes the high cost of housing, groceries and health care 🫶

[Barredbard (@barredbard.bsky.social) @Barredbard]

Democrats. Rhymes with rats. With the courage to match that timorous mammal.

The ICE agent committed an offense against two sovereigns. The State of Minnesota. And the federal govt.

If the feds won’t pursue, Minnesotan law enforcement should. But pipe dreams are made of these.

[Barredbard (@barredbard.bsky.social) @Barredbard]

@GovTimWalz @kitchen5203 I’m feeling remarkably divisive at the moment.

[Barredbard (@barredbard.bsky.social) @Barredbard]

Minnesota: Winter frost. The murder of Renee Good was cold. Her corpse lies colder, still.

If your righteous rage is civilized, the attitude of the marauders will be just as contained.

The murder of a mother. No sorrow on the morrow. There must be penance, if not repentance.

[Barredbard (@barredbard.bsky.social) @Barredbard]

The U.S. is an oil company with an army. How apt . . .

[Matthew Cooke @thematthewcooke]

New video: Invading Venezuela, Iraq, Afghanistan, bombing Yemen, Pakistan, Somalia, Syria, Palestine, is the job of the US presidency established by the founders -- war profiteers, slavers, bankers, speculators, and whiskey distillers. Obviously an oligarch like Musk supports it.

[Barredbard (@barredbard.bsky.social) @Barredbard]

@Logically_JC @Juliethewarrior @StateDept Fundamental questions:

Are they people of color?
Do they have oil?

So definitely not Haiti.
