NO ONE makes fun of @atrupar.com. Fellow Subscribers, we ride at dawn!
For the second straight day, the White House's taxpayer-funded incitement account is attacking me and oddly mentioning I'm in my 40s (which I know makes me way too old for the president)

When they do this it results in a flood of harassing and threatening messages, which of course is the point

Things I was frightened of as a child:

1) My parents
2) My brother
3) the abandoned house behind my elementary school
4) The open ocean
Things I was frightened of as a child:

• Slugs.
• Quicksand.
• The guy whose face melted in RAIDERS OF THE LOST ARK.
• Extremely narrow corridors.
Things I was frightened of as a child:
1. Not getting to the bottom of the stairs before the loo finished flushing.
2. Falling into a thorn bush and being blinded.
3. The granny with all the pills on her dresser who made me margarine sandwiches.
4. The dark country lane where Mrs Kelly lived.

On September 11th, 2001, I had just returned home from bringing my daughter to school and sat down to work, and as was my habit, went to CNN's website to see the morning news. A "small plane" had hit the WTC. Went and turned on the TV, and watched the horror unfold.
"September 11th was 25 years ago" -- Ted Cruz defends Trump lying about his response to 9/11 but suggesting he might not remember because it was so long ago

Trump personally escaped from the Hindenburg by rappelling down a cable into the waiting strong arms of two beautiful men.
Trump on 9/11: "I just thank my people. I was building a big building in New York & I took the whole crew down there right after this happened & they had no hesitation. Everybody went down with me... we thought it was coming down on top of us... two fireman lifted me up and started running with me"

This woman bought a swimsuit just to join her rescued beaver in the water, and their bond shows how these usually shy rodents can grow attached to humans.

I hope they also disclose how the new Great Lakes mnemonic is SHAME.
Pathetic -- Google is now referring to Lake Ontario as "Lake America"

The Father the son and the holy spirit and Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom
new joke format just dropped:
you say the father the son and the holy spirit, then add two extra things.

I want to be on the committee that makes up "Operation" names.
"There’s one other big unknown here. The document declaring the opening of Operation Puppet Master contains another vague reference: It says this effort has also been sanctioned under something called 'Operation Keyhole.' Yet it’s unclear what this even is." — @gregsargent.bsky.social

“[the Governor or Minnesota] is corrupt and incompetent. A bad combination…” says the most corrupt and incompetent President in the history of the United States.
Trump offers commentary on the speech he's reading, clearly for the first time: The Dept of War is also investing $150 million in Minnesota. Minnesota, wow? What the hell happened with Minnesota"

Domestic abuser doesn’t understand how victims respond to domestic abuse. Doing anything you can to keep your abuser happy so he doesn’t beat the shit out of you again it’s exactly how a victim reacts. Yes, I know.
Rep. Max Miller: "My former wife has claimed that during a custody exchange at my home that day, I assaulted her…If I had assaulted her, would she have offered to cook me dinner six days later?"
