1. He is a national treasure.

[calimary]

2. You used to be my guy, Ted...

Sadly, we moved and we had the disappointing Kurt Schrader. And then he got primaried and we eventually wound up with a Republican, whose first priority seems to be checking her makeup. At least from what I’ve observed so far.

Mongo NOT impressed.

I miss Ted Lieu!

[gratuitous]

3. Don't know how Chavez-DeRemer got elected

McLeod-Skinner didn't run a great campaign, but she knocked off Schrader, which was something, and I was wishing the District would trade up. Alas, it wasn't to be. Hopefully Chavez-DeRemer will get knocked off in 2024, and she can go back home to Arizona (an issue I wish McLeod-Skinner would have made a bigger deal about, especially with all the snide "San Francisco" remarks directed at McLeon-Skinner).

[calimary]

5. I hope you're right, my friend!

It’s the first time that I’m aware of, or can remember, that I will have been “represented” by a Republican. And I’m not a bit happy about that.

[gratuitous]

7. You're probably a better person than me

So you wouldn't even dream about constantly pestering Rep. Chavez-DeRemer's office for explanations on her votes, demanding that she pay attention to issues you care about that she doesn't, and wondering why she isn't more representative of her district. Because that would be wrong.

[calimary]

29. No, that wouldn't be wrong.

I figure THEY work for ME. Even if their heart belongs to the enemy camp. If you’re MY representative, you’re going to hear from me. My Indivisible group has already broached the subject of reaching out to our new rep and booking an appointment with her. It would probably help to know a little more clearly what we’re up against.

[Marcuse]

15. An allegory of the Obama/Biden administration

17. "The President is near."

4. right?

8. Was there a recent mention of Elton John or is Ted just mentioning him to drive Greene folks nuts?

I adore Elton John.

[Biophilic]

9. If I remember correctly Elton John signed off of twitter recently due to

The increase of misinformation.

[tavernier]

13. And Elon begged him to come back.

But I’m pretty sure Elton saw past the rockin’ crocodile tears.

[certainot]

22. today one of limbaugh's RW radio replacements, bongino, called lieu a communist about half dozen

times that i heard in a few minutes. that asshole probably generated threats to lieu's office

and there are hundreds of universities and pro sports teams that assholes like that depend on to keep broadcasting sports on the hundreds of stations they pollute from

[patphil]

10. I'm one of those Liberals who doesn't like Kale.

Kale

[Pluvious]

11. Yeah... it's a tough healthy greens to make tasty...

But it’s a good Magat trigger

[ChazInAz]

20. I prefer collard greens.

Bugs the MAGATs and their racist sides.

[halfulglas]

24. I didn't used to like collard greens but my DIL really rocks them.

[erronis]

28. Swiss Chard. The multi-colored ones (de colores)!

Tastes good, tender, and the stems can be sauteed.

[Genki Hikari]

25. In this queue

And it's not an aversion to greens. The flavor of it is just plain awful, like eating a leathery form of how a rusted out car engine smells.

[Joinfortmill]

12. Love it.

[AllaN01Bear]

14. up your nose with a rubber hose mr musk. i dont want to ride

your silly rocket (which we the people paid for)
nor do i want to buy your stoopid electric car.

[PXR-5]

18. Elton, not Elon, will always be

Rocket Man to me!

[republianmushroom]

19. like

[LudwigPastorius]

21. James Webb telescope imaged one of the...

oldest galaxies in the universe. Lawrence Livermore Lab may have made a fusion energy breakthrough. We can now genetically manipulate someone’s T cells to eradicate previously incurable cancer.

But, none of that matters because you can’t call someone a n____r or a “pedo guy” without consequences.

OK. Gotcha, Elon.

[halfulglas]

23. I'm liking that title Oligarch Musk.

Identifying his true aspirations. Not man of the people as he tried to make out with that "free speech" crap he uses to shut down other people's speech. It's really free speech for me and my views but we'll bully everyone else.

[czarjak]

26. He just wants to snuff us. Gee, whiz?

[erronis]

27. Tweet unrolled (for those that won't go there.)

I'm going to eat some Kale salad today. And make fun of Marjorie Taylor Greene. And watch the video of lots of woke people booing @elonmusk at Dave Chappelle's show. And work on some climate change legislation.
And listen to Elton John.

Because, freedom. And

I'm still standing.
