Excellent last panel.
Yep. That pretty much encapsulates how the "Legacy" media is covering Trump's madness.

It actually makes me wonder if the NYTimes has some sort of AI that translates St. Donald of Mar-a-Lago's incoherent ramblings into English. Or at least I hope it's AI, as it would terrible if some human had to sanitize the awful mixture of feces and venom that drips from St. Donald's lips.

Well, we've known for a long time MAGA has artificially outsourced its "intelligence" to Fox News, OAN, The Daily Wire, etc.

It was always the singular possessive in my mind, but this was food for thought...

I don't think it's a close call. Every fuck is different. You can't combine them. Doing so is extremely disrespectful.

No, plural possessive in this case because it's not a specific fuck, it's the whole group of fucks.

Some fucks are more specific, like fuck dook or fuck trump, but the statement "for fucks' sake" isn't.
Who the fuck groups fucks?

I think that's beyond the pale even on this very permissive board.

MAGA outsourcing its intelligence is sort of like me outsourcing my need for good looks, as in we both desparately need to switch suppliers.

Several places in the White Mountains in New Hampshire have designated backwoods camping areas. These areas have “bear boxes” - large, heavy duty steel boxes designed to hold food and cooking equipment.
I remember one night being awakened by two idiots who were hanging their food in an attempt to keep bears, raccoons, pine martens, chipmunks, possums, etc. from getting their food…..I almost got up to show them where the bear boxes were (there were at least 3).
Fast-forward 3-4 hours and I can hear a bear raiding a food bag and the same two idiots talking. Watching a 350-400 lb black bear stand up and extend to its full length was incredible. It got a claw in the idiots’s food bag and PULLED. It had the food bag. It ate the food bag.
If the rangers provide you with a food box, use it!

I love articles in which both perspectives seem valid and respectful, so thought I would post this one here --

Carolina Hurricanes coach Rod Brind'Amour said he was surprised when Florida Panthers coach Paul Maurice asked him not to participate in their series-ending handshake line last week and disagreed that it should just be for the players.
Maurice has attempted to start a new tradition in the NHL in which team coaches and staff don't participate in the handshake line, a decades-old ritual held at center ice after teams are eliminated from the Stanley Cup Playoffs.
He asked Toronto Maple Leafs coach Craig Berube to stand down in the second round, and Berube obliged. He asked Brind'Amour to do the same after the Panthers eliminated the Hurricanes in Game 5 of the Eastern Conference finals in Raleigh. Maurice said he appreciated Brind'Amour agreeing to it.
"There's this long list of people in suits and track suits. We had like 400 people on the ice. They're all really important to our group, but not one of them was in the game. There's something for me visually with the camera on just the men who played. Who blocked shots and who fought for each other," Maurice said.
At the Hurricanes' postseason media availability on Tuesday, Brind'Amour said he understood Maurice's point of view. But he said participating in the handshake is about "gracious losing" and he won't continue Maurice's tradition next season.
"Sitting back on it and reflecting, I've had some pretty impactful memories and moments in that line as a coach going through it," he said.
Brind'Amour noted that the tradition gives him a chance to have a moment with players he used to coach, such as when he shook the hands of former Hurricanes players who are now on the New Jersey Devils during Carolina's first-round win.
"Moving forward, I think I'll probably go back to it just because it's a sign of respect. That's the way I look at it. We're not out there on the ice battling, but we're right in there with these guys," Brind'Amour said. "He won, so I kind of went, 'OK, I'm going to follow your lead in that.' But I do think it's important, to me anyway, to show respect to the players."
Maurice, whose first head coaching job was with the Hartford Whalers in 1995, said staff didn't always take part in the handshake line and he was trying to reorient the spotlight on the players.
"When I first got in the league, we would never go shake the players. Some coach wanted to get on camera. It was the only thing I can figure out," Maurice said.
"I think there's a really nice, kind of beautiful part of our game just the players shaking hands at the end. When you think of all the great competitions on the ice, they're not sending Christmas cards to each other. This was nasty out there. And yet they shake hands like that. That's special," he said.
Brind'Amour says handshake line for coaches, too
