I swear to god, this is the only cute cat pic I will ever post.

Not mine but from a FB post with no attribution. If it offends anyone my posting this in GD please PM me so I can remove it. I was hoping to simply share a smile

Maybe we sould congratulate the R's for taking our gun ownership policies seriously and ask that

they have all members of Congress and Senate be investigated by the ATF and JD with the same vigor as they have Hunter.

In fact we should fucking demand it.

Seems to be one thing standing out as the one most important thing that hasn't changed in DU

for the last twenty years:

The number of phenomenally wonderful posters.

Whether it's breaking news, mini essays to make one think, Political cartoons, peeks at art and genuinely caring people under the same tent, DU has been there for me as a respite through times good and bad. I can't think of another website in the last two decades has this wonderful sanctuary for those who wish for respite from the pressures of the current political day or just share a frustration or two with others.

And of course, a hat tip to all those who made this happen and all those who help in herding the cats to keep DU, DU.

Thank you for putting up with me.

The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon on AMC+

I rather enjoyed the first installment of this new WD segment. Liked it better than the Maggie/Negan series.

Anyone else watch?


Edited to correct silly misspelling which put Maggie with a star trek character.

Kamala rocks!

Kamala Harris: “Hip-Hop Is the Ultimate American Art Form”

Kamala Harris invited some of rap’s top artists, from Lil Wayne to Slick Rick, to perform on Saturday at her home in Washington, D.C., for what she called “the first-ever hip-hop house party at the Office of the Vice President of the United States.”

Harris partnered with the Recording Academy’s Black Music Collective and Live Nation Urban to put on the commemoration, which marked the first time a sitting vice president has hosted a celebration of this kind. More than 400 guests attended, including Jennifer Hudson, Gina Prince-Bythewood, Yvette Nicole Brown, Roland Martin, Jesse Collins, Tamika Mallory and Recording Academy CEO and president Harvey Mason Jr., who introduced Harris to the stage. Actor-comedian Deon Cole hosted the event.

Dear Trump, You should have stuck with fantasizing about killing people on 5th Ave.

That shit don't fly in DC.

Honestly hoping that they either decide to drop your SS contingent so you can experience the true joys of incarceration or they find you guilty of treason with the same punishment the Rosenberg's received.
