Here’s how this is gonna go, Klan of Green Gables.
Your little stunt is going to get you all sorts of praise from the stupid, racist cult zombie horde folks who attacked the Capitol two weeks ago.
It’s also going to get you laughed out of Congress, because you’re a joke.
So stop.— Jo (@JoJoFromJerz) January 21, 2021
The QAnon Congresswoman, Marjorie Taylor Greene, submitted articles of impeachment against Joe Biden, because ……… OK, I have no desire to figure out what is going on in that head, thank you very much.
In response, Jo from Jersey, who has been, “Blocked by Chachi,” tagged her as “Klan of Green Gables.”
I wish that I had thought of that slam.

The Onion, from 2000:
Serbia Deploys Peacekeeping Forces To U.S.
11/15/00 3:00PM
BELGRADE–Serbian president Vojislav Kostunica deployed more than 30,000 peacekeeping troops to the U.S. Monday, pledging full support to the troubled North American nation as it struggles to establish democracy.“We must do all we can to support free elections in America and allow democracy to gain a foothold there,” Kostunica said. “The U.S. is a major player in the Western Hemisphere and its continued stability is vital to Serbian interests in that region.”
Kostunica urged Al Gore, the U.S. opposition-party leader who is refusing to recognize the nation’s Nov. 7 election results, to “let the democratic process take its course.”
………
Though Kostunica has pledged to work with U.S. leaders, he did not rule out the possibility of economic sanctions if the crisis is not resolved soon.
Note the highlighted date.
The Onion has been predicting the future for 32 years now.

Now this is an award worthy sub-tweet.
I am amused. It’s both a well deserved take-down, deeply nasty, and does not involve chucking office supplies at subordinates.
As I dislike both the author of the tweet and its subject intensely, I am simply amused.

There’s a lot of work going into 10 page memos on why putting poor people into wood chippers is a bad idea, because some of the “Obama people” economists are obsessed with the idea after CBO scored it well.

I know that this is snark, but I can think of no better metaphor for the Democratic Party establishment (There is no Democratic Party establishment).
World Class Snark
Loretta Donelan explains that it’s unfair to forgive student loan debt, because if it is, “How Will I Have An Automatic Advantage Over My Peers?”
Recently, I’ve heard a lot of politicians talking about cancelling everyone’s student loan debt. Some people are for it, some people are against it, some people already paid off their loans and don’t want others to have better lives than them, but there’s one thing that no one is talking about: if all my peers’ student loan debt is cancelled, how will I personally have an automatic advantage over them?
It’s maybe a 5 minute read, and it is hysterical.

In case you have been living in a cave, the Obama Administration’s response to the endemic fraud and corruption by the banksters are best described by the legal term, “Nolle prosequi.”

Adding to the List of They Who Must Not Be Named
Inspired Photoshop Work
When someone passes a certain level of both inhumanity and irrelevance, they end up on my list of They Who Must Not Be Named.
Well, Ellen Degeneris has now crossed that threshold in a sufficiently egregious way that not only is she on they list, but, She also has been memed by The Onion:
Ellen: ‘I Never Intended To Make Staff Feel Unsafe By Wearing A Bloodied Ram Skull And Stalking Them With A Hatchet’
This is a level of screwing the pooch that approaches some sort of twisted dog bordello.
