It’s sad. So sad! We are the world’s wealthiest country. We just increased taxes on and stripped benefits from the poor—all to feed the WEALTHY. Uncaringly ruthless Republicans, bought off by the WEALTHY, have an agenda of pain and suffering for the poor, the needy, the sinking middle class. For heaven’s sake, give heathcare, childcare, food assistance, and LIVING wages to everyone. Charge the total cost to the WEALTHY billionaires. They cannot be satisfied, and need their greedy asses kicked for this carnage. They are funding the ruthlessness; they are gouging and gorging. To what purpose is their $ billions? Hoarding alone. Outlaw this hoarding! They cannot spend it all, yet they fund tax cuts only for themselves. Sound about right to you? I made protest signs for your upcoming protests. Protesting is now critical for Occupied D.C. We must fill the streets! There is just enough time to get signs printed for your protest group. Fill the hands of the signless with signs…or hoagies. Where are your signs? It is time to post them so that others can use them. FreeDC!
I had a reply but noticed the clock on the wall tells me it’s Meal Team Six doughnut break time. Sorry I can’t do that and many other things I’m having a super XXL size Cola slurp with my own box of doughnuts sorry then nappy time. This schedule of building up to gang-beat brownies is tough but this time I will lose that extra 150lbs to move me out of morbid obesity.
Which is really stupid of them, because people have less money these wealthy people have less business. I've already dropped FB, would never buy a Tesla. Unfortunately I do buy from Amazon if I can't get it somewhere else. The owner of Costco gives to liberal causes. But it is possible to hurt business with a boycott. Stop watching CNN ( one of the people who signed onto project 2025 is a big investor) and Fox.
Believe me.I know about gerrymandering.I live in what used to be Gym Jordan’s congressional district.Maps were redrawn but are still phucked up as hell. I have the odious Bob Latta now to represent me.(The only good thing about Latta is that his staffers do actually answer the phones).Dems have almost no chance in Ohio to get elected because of these skewed maps.😳
Hey Victoria, I'm a native Ohioan, but haven't lived there in 50 years. However I'm aware that there were 2 votes put on the statewide ballot in 2015 and 2018 in attempts to curtail partisan gerrymandering. They passed with a healthymajority. But the Republican Supreme Court and legislature did NOT allow the people's wishes to be followed. Since then, I've been telling my family and friends in Cincinnati that they do NOT live in a democracy. The Republicans have seen what they can do there and just keep on going
Yes. You are exactly right. The Ohio Republican Super Majority ignores the will of the voters. We recently had the same thing here concerning reproductive rights. The voters spoke loudly but have been ignored. smh.
Well, we hoped that his voters following his advice during Covid would cull their numbers and it did, but still plenty more where they came from for this second round. Is Trump getting a lot of the demented crowd? Do people with dementia still vote? There is nothing in the law that says you have to be of sound mind to vote.
t does. My father wouldn't let my grandmother vote her last time (1978) and wouldn't let my mother vote either in 1998, because her Alzheimer's was so advanced. But he was a Democrat, who at least have standards and morals.
My father had dementia and I made him go vote (Obama). I figured that muscle memory would cause him to make the same choice that he would have under normal circumstances. And dementia patients arguably have a larger than average stake in election outcomes as medical care is taken away and nursing homes folding.
After I do all the research on the ballot, especially the little known candidates like judges, I go over it with my husband and son to make sure they are okay with it, and then I fill out all of our mail in ballots. My husband and son both have reading difficulties. This would have been okay with my Dad. I can't remember filling out his ballots for him, although he was legally blind the last 12 years of his life. But he felt that neither my mother or his mother were capable of understanding what they were doing (my grandmother was 98) and he didn't think the franchise extended to those with no understanding. He was a hardcore Democrat all his life and named his son after Adlai Stevenson.
I am sure many people do that. I helped my daughter with both her US and her German ballots. She just turned 20, so she was not super experienced voting and for the US she was voting from abroad. I went over it with her ahead of time and she could ask me questions before she went to vote on how it worked.
I agree. The stakes are high for people who draw medicare as well as everyone who is not a billionaire to pay for health care in this country. I am worried about her senior retirement community going under. Half the floor that she is living on is empty. She is moving to memory care which costs an arm and a leg. It seems to be full.
That is your dad doing the right thing, but is there something written into the law that prevents people with a dementia diagnosis from voting? My mom would not remember to on her own, but someone could trick her at this point because she does not know what is going on. Short term and working active memory are not working. It is the long term that seems to still be there.
It doesnt hurt that they rigged the computer voting machines in swing states. Trump hinted that Musk did that. How you stop it I dont know. But there will be intimidation at the polling places, and I bet mail in ballots will be stolen. (You can deliver them right to your town's city hall. )
We can be 100% certain ICE and the National Guard will be patrolling polling places and harassing, intimidating, and even arresting Latino voters. Interference will be a priority in California where Newsom's Redistricting issue will be on the ballot this November.
I am in a neighborhood where there is NO in-person voting. You have to put your ballot in the mail.
We have voted in every election in San Francisco, always in person, in multiple neighborhoods, with absolutely no problem. This neighborhood doesn't have enough voters to have polling places so you must use a mail-in ballot.
I miss going to vote in person though. My husband and I always cheered each other afterwards and said, "Twin powers, activate!!" (Old cartoon)
In Colorado, we can mail or drop our ballot in the drop box and each of our ballots has a UPC code that gets scanned upon receipt and we get notified that it’s been received. Or we can vote in person. It’s a great system.
Family members of people with dementia often vote for them. I witnessed this once as a poll worker. The family member had to complete a paper ballot because they were told they could not use the voting machine. And people have told me they fill out mail-in ballots for their family members with dementia.
I was going to say if "homeys"--like those mountains of flab pictured--even try to run, (I mean waddle!) I imagine there will be a good many ambulance rides to the cardiac care center. Dear goddess, the volume of ignorance that animates these folk is a constant astonishment.
trying to enact what they've seen the police do on TV when confronted by an active shooter.
That said, the cops at least keep their distance to an arms length behind the lead guy. No telling who they were trying to impress with their "skills".
We know that the research backs up that people with guns are more likely to die from being shot. Also, more likely to commit suicide with guns. I am betting there is going to be a lot more of that as Trump's economics destroy the US economy. I keep hearing about the impending crash of the stock market. That is going to make people who are not poor, poor. About 64% of Americans have their pensions in stocks.
True, I’ve never understood the gun obsession in this country.
Krugmans post today had some salient points on what’s keeping us from recession… scarier times seem inevitable.
Those losing Medicare/social services, are really to suffer, while the billionaire class applaud…this country won’t be recognizable in the next few years!
I feel like a middle schooler but I was hooting and hollering watching those videos. I realize it’s mean but given what these MAGAs are doing to us and this country, fuck it.
Oh Jeff,dunno whee to start! Can’t stop laughing. Between your HILARIOUS Comments, and those FECKING EEJITS (fucking idiots) Shooting themselves(pity he missed) I literally Can’t type, for laughing! Just TOO FUNNY! Ye’ve made my night…..💚
When I lean over you quick get a shot off shoot the face off those commies, now then when you lean down I shoot and fast got it? Let’s practice with live rounds remember as fast as you can some of those little old ladies are men in disguise ask Nun Mace she is an expert.
Dean Cain could do with a little less crawling through pipes and a little more salad. The image of his ass barely making it over the fence one overfed cheek at a time is something I can never unsee. And for what purpose? To run down some guy mowing lawns? Cain is MAGAWorld: Fat, dumb, overconfident, undereducated, easily manipulated, fueled by grievance, and willing to do heinous shit to other people because he's a frightened, childish moron.
And he is, on one side, of Asian descent...I am light years from understanding the mindset of a person who apparently denies and/or rejects an integral part of themself.
A self-hating one. And perhaps got (no doubt rightfully) emotionally mauled by a Latina (or a Latino) during puberty, perhaps? He has had hatred for Hispanics and Latinos for a long, long time. His mother's family has disowned him.
A little known fact about actual Nazism in the Third Reich. There were many ethnically diverse members of the SS, including a division of Tibetans and Jewish officers. Nazism is a philosophical worldview rather than merely a racist protest political party. Its core belief is in the Progress of Mankind by the Superior evolved individual with its foundations in our Winners Take All capitalist philosophy. The Nazi genocide of the German Jewish people, amongst others, was primarily to do with proving who was the truly superior Man as opposed to just racist. Hence the alliance with Nazism by many in the upper class of Hindu caste system like JD Vance’s wife or Opus Dei Catholics or certain Protestant evangelical sects.
Or the super wealthy or super obsessed with power in body or mind. Postwar Nazism is now a wider church of people believing that they are innately superior to ‘others’ for one reason or another. A faith that they need to constantly test the truth of through the deadly persecution of the ‘weak’. It is an apex predator religion whose adherents are not strictly limited to white male supremacists.
sometimes I read my posts from a year ago and every day they were about the latest Harris rally in some stadium where there were overflow crowds, while Trump was struggling to fill tiny auditoriums. oh god things seemed so hopeful back then
I am convinced that T💩p stole the election with Eloon's help. They bragged about it FFS! The Rockland County, NY trial starts on August 29th. It was brought by a third-party candidate after they got zero votes in some precincts, and they knew that was not accurate. There are precincts where Kamala got zero votes, but Kirsten Gillibrand won in a landslide. NFW did he win all seven swing states. As they say, the math ain't mathin'.
The truth, unfortunately, is nothing more than this: JFK died because the US makes it too easy for deranged men with anger issues to get military hardware.
Sorry, don't agree. There's only a couple of events that I don't agree with the "findings". JFK, Trump getting shot and the fact that the feds say they don't know why the massacre in Vegas on 10/1/2017.
I am convinced , too. How many times did Yap Yap say at his nazi rallies ,
"I don't need your vote, I don't even know why I'm Here" and everyone just laughed it off including the media. And All 7 swing states favored the DoTard, and, oh, they were all connected to Star Link? And Zero investigations on it and very little noise made by the Democrats. At least the ones who were influential.
Hate to say this, but it baffled to fvck out of me why the Biden admin didn't take steps to prevent election fraud during his first 2 years as president. It was if we all assumed Trump would never ever get in office again.
This nation is going down with a lack of glory. We are no Ukraine, and Trump is no Zelenskyy. Instead he is a I wanna be Putin. MAGA is an out and out lie. His hat and shirt should say, IWBP! That is the truth.
Speaking of Italy, I love Georgia Meloni's eye rolling during Trump's ramblings. It says, "You want to be a dictator? We swang Mussolinii by his heels, motherfucker."
Yes. And the people are bravely fighting their enemies. We need to be doing the same. Trump says the enemy is within. I don't disagree with that. Of course some of that is the outer enemy that he has let in by getting rid of the people with intel in the Intelligence Community. Still our own enemies within are our biggest problem.
US citizens don't need a visa and can stay in Germany or EU for 90 of 180 days. So 3 months in within a 180 day period and then 3 months out. If you want to stay longer than that you have to apply for a permanent residency while you are there. You have to register yourself, and get a German insurance which will cover you in the entire EU.
I am a German citizen as is our daughter and it has made it easier for us to move there. Not really easier than someone with permanent residency, which you cannot get until. you are there, so we arrive with permission to do things that others don't have. I have been offered 2 jobs teaching English part time since being there. I am a native speaker and have working permission so of course I would be in demand.
Interesting, similar to other EU countries. My son looked into Finland, which is where my mother’s family all came from. My fathers mothers family all came from Germany, his father Ireland… with the the country in chaos my extended family is looking at escaping.
I’ve got warmer destinations I’ve traveled extensively, on my agenda, thanks for sharing!
Hi Patrick, I particularly did not pick a "warmer" location. In fact, I picked Northern Germany because of global warming. As the global south is trying to move north, and there are environmental catastrophes south and warmer is not my personal choice.
Also, you can probably get EU citizenship if you have documentation of someone not more than a grandparent back that they were born in that country like Finland, Germany or Ireland.
One of the big environmental concerns is that the fresh water of the world is evaporating and being used up by data centers. It is quite frightening how many resources tech sucks up in all sorts of ways. So, the world is running out of water and I would make that a consideration for where you might choose to live. Is there water? What is the climate like? Are there fires and floods? Even in Chicago there is a concern about water because while our governors of the Great Lake States and Canadian Provinces are supposed to be stewarding the water, they are increasingly looking to monetize it. I read recently here in Chicago they want to build a big data center. Tech brings in money, but it also sucks up resources.
If you are just traveling to warmer destinations it is nice and not a problem for committing to the environment. I am fine with the climate where I am living, but do think that my summer vacations will have me heading north not south. I hope I get the time to travel again. I have had a lot of commitments these past few years.
8 too many. Reminds me of when Rick Santorum, or was it Sam Brownback, can’t remember which since it’s easy to confuse laughably regressive religious kooks, was running for preznit and almost no one showed up to hear them blather
Jeff, again, there were a few sentences that I just roared of laughter. This was certainly one of them. Hysterical!! "it’s great to know that if Dean Cain runs into any mannequins that have overstayed their visas, he’ll be prepared to fuck their shit seven ways from breakfast.' Thank you so much for the great laughs and for keeping our sanity in tact.
I entered the comments to say pretty much the same thing! But you said it well, Linda. Thank you. And thank you, Jeff, for always giving us plenty to laugh about. If we can still laugh, they haven't beaten us yet!
I’m stuck on the fact that Dean Cain is training to be an Honorary ICE Agent. Did he have to send in 10 boxtops? Will he get a decoder ring? Could he make a life choice more likely to make him look ridiculous that didn’t involve latex and hair extensions?
I wonder if Dr. Phl has gone through the same ICE training. Probably not, just riding side-saddle in ICE vehicles getting his sadism off and his photo taken.
I'm betting Noem blows through that extra money in less than a year. With the ridiculous pay and bonuses and open hire policy, it's not sustainable. All I ever see her doing is posing (except when she was "testifying" before Congress. Remember when seemed to rub a tear from the corner of her eye? She was using her middle finger. Yeah, she flipped off the Representative questioning her. The only difference between Noem and Miller is that he hasn't bragged about shooting puppies). I want to see receipts from DHS because there is clearly rampant waste, fraud, and abuse.
Waste and fraud from a moron with Botox ballooned lips who loses a $4,000 Gucci bag containing $3,000 in cash in a pizza joint? No way. As Mary Trump noted in her YouTube, it will cost $1.4m per mile to paint the southern border fence black (over a $ billion). This was clearly Donald's brilliant idea because he's busy sundowning and doesn't know things cool down at NIGHT.
Just me reveling in schadenfreude over here
lmaoooooooooooooo gfy nancy
It’s sad. So sad! We are the world’s wealthiest country. We just increased taxes on and stripped benefits from the poor—all to feed the WEALTHY. Uncaringly ruthless Republicans, bought off by the WEALTHY, have an agenda of pain and suffering for the poor, the needy, the sinking middle class. For heaven’s sake, give heathcare, childcare, food assistance, and LIVING wages to everyone. Charge the total cost to the WEALTHY billionaires. They cannot be satisfied, and need their greedy asses kicked for this carnage. They are funding the ruthlessness; they are gouging and gorging. To what purpose is their $ billions? Hoarding alone. Outlaw this hoarding! They cannot spend it all, yet they fund tax cuts only for themselves. Sound about right to you? I made protest signs for your upcoming protests. Protesting is now critical for Occupied D.C. We must fill the streets! There is just enough time to get signs printed for your protest group. Fill the hands of the signless with signs…or hoagies. Where are your signs? It is time to post them so that others can use them. FreeDC!

Which is really stupid of them, because people have less money these wealthy people have less business. I've already dropped FB, would never buy a Tesla.

“It’s a piece of cake to get elected as a Republican when your district has been so carefully engineered to marginalize Democratic voters…”
- 😦
Believe me.I know about gerrymandering.I live in what used to be Gym Jordan’s congressional district.Maps were redrawn but are still phucked up as hell. I have the odious Bob Latta now to represent me.(The only good thing about Latta is that his staffers do actually answer the phones).Dems have almost no chance in Ohio to get elected because of these skewed maps.😳
Thank you for spelling Gym’s name correctly! 🤣
Hey Victoria, I'm a native Ohioan, but haven't lived there in 50 years. However I'm aware that there were 2 votes put on the statewide ballot in 2015 and 2018 in attempts to curtail partisan gerrymandering. They passed with a healthymajority. But the Republican Supreme Court and legislature did NOT allow the people's wishes to be followed. Since then, I've been telling my family and friends in Cincinnati that they do NOT live in a democracy. The Republicans have seen what they can do there and just keep on going
Yes. You are exactly right. The Ohio Republican Super Majority ignores the will of the voters. We recently had the same thing here concerning reproductive rights. The voters spoke loudly but have been ignored. smh.
Look at Boebert's district, mine, and you'll also see why she got re-elected. It's infuriating.
Democracy In Action!
My favorite line today.
This week on World’s Dumbest Cosplayers, Dean Cain mounts Krusty Gnome, INSIDE THE PIPE!
Cosporn!
Can't believe you are making me laugh over people shooting themselves. These people are all Un-FUCKING-Believable!
Maybe they'll lose the midterms because people had heart attacks training for ICE or shot themselves to death. Fingers crossed. 🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼

In some places maybe, but in the Bay Area, Berkeley and Oakland, also San Francisco, I doubt it. "Whose polls, our polls!"
Yes, we deliver our mail in ballots to the drop off box in front of City Hall.
I do the same. I no longer trust the US Postal Service. It took a ‘thank you’ note 14 days to go to the next town a few weeks ago.
I am in a neighborhood where there is NO in-person voting. You have to put your ballot in the mail.

A $50k signing bonus can buy a lot of donuts, beer, pizza, guns, etc.
I’m sure with the strenuous training a few went down I mean up and died due to training accidents.
My exact sentiment Kathleen!
That’s what I was thinking
I've watched both of those clips several times and I'm still wiping tears from my eyes. These guys shouldn't be allowed to even be in public. 😂😂😂
Pretty sure that’s the same pipe President Taft got stuck in during POTUS training
Agreed and agreed! ✌🏽 It is kinda like watching clips of the Russian military being sent to the front.
Or an old Benny Hill Show.
Oh I forgot all about Benny Hill! 😂😂
At least Benny Hill was supposed to be funny, those clips aren’t.
Susan- Yup, Even the best slapstick comedians couldn’t achieve this level of hilarious stupid.
Me too. I was nearly hysterical. But the one guy came an inch from having his head blown off. WTF were they even doing?
It seemed like they were like children playing cowboys.
trying to enact what they've seen the police do on TV when confronted by an active shooter.
That said, the cops at least keep their distance to an arms length behind the lead guy. No telling who they were trying to impress with their "skills".
In Monty Python terms, they were ‘being silly’….
I wasn't gonna watch but had to go back after looking at the comments. Fucking hilarious.
Hopefully they all shoot themselves, sparing shooting innocent quasi-cogent people Linda!
We know that the research backs up that people with guns are more likely to die from being shot. Also, more likely to commit suicide with guns.

Me too
I must have watched that guy shooting himself 10 times...lol...how hilarious 😂
“did these two homeys join ICE because they were hoping someone would throw sandwiches at them?” That LOL is going to last me all day.
😂😂😂
Yeah, that got a belly laugh from me, too!
omGGGGGG‼️
Oh Jeff,dunno whee to start! Can’t stop laughing. Between your HILARIOUS Comments, and those FECKING EEJITS (fucking idiots) Shooting themselves(pity he missed) I literally Can’t type, for laughing! Just TOO FUNNY! Ye’ve made my night…..💚
that last clip of the pistol-waving choreography should be entitled the Darwinian Duet Death Dance
When I lean over you quick get a shot off shoot the face off those commies, now then when you lean down I shoot and fast got it? Let’s practice with live rounds remember as fast as you can some of those little old ladies are men in disguise ask Nun Mace she is an expert.
Especially if the hippie com'nist theys shooting at is loaded with AP ammo. One shot thru and thru bofem.
Dean Cain could do with a little less crawling through pipes and a little more salad. The image of his ass barely making it over the fence one overfed cheek at a time is something I can never unsee.

Oxymoronic like Log Cabin Republicans -- gays for discrimination against gays. Dafuq?
Miller is JEWISH!! Explain that one.
A self-hating one. And perhaps got (no doubt rightfully) emotionally mauled by a Latina (or a Latino) during puberty, perhaps? He has had hatred for Hispanics and Latinos for a long, long time. His mother's family has disowned him.

I call them Jewish Nazis. Daughter of Holocaust victims here.
RIght? WTF?
You nailed it, Ann.
Yeah, Ann, but some of us are not all that fat.
And some of us are not all that dumb or any of the rest of it, but thanks ever so for the fact-check.
Well-it says something when 8 show up for Nancy Mace—-won’t get elected. Thousands show up for Harris/Walz…..hmmmmmmm🤔🤔
sometimes I read my posts from a year ago and every day they were about the latest Harris rally in some stadium where there were overflow crowds, while Trump was struggling to fill tiny auditoriums. oh god things seemed so hopeful back then

The truth will come out. It always does.
Well, I’ve been waiting 60 years for “the truth” about JFK’s assassination, and it’s not come out yet.
The truth, unfortunately, is nothing more than this: JFK died because the US makes it too easy for deranged men with anger issues to get military hardware.
Sorry, don't agree. There's only a couple of events that I don't agree with the "findings". JFK, Trump getting shot and the fact that the feds say they don't know why the massacre in Vegas on 10/1/2017.
Interesting. Have you alerted the Warren Commission about your conclusion? Because I’m pretty sure there’s more to it than that.
Deranged kids need to be included, as well as their parents.
I am convinced , too. How many times did Yap Yap say at his nazi rallies ,
"I don't need your vote, I don't even know why I'm Here" and everyone just laughed it off including the media. And All 7 swing states favored the DoTard, and, oh, they were all connected to Star Link? And Zero investigations on it and very little noise made by the Democrats. At least the ones who were influential.
Hate to say this, but it baffled to fvck out of me why the Biden admin didn't take steps to prevent election fraud during his first 2 years as president. It was if we all assumed Trump would never ever get in office again.
Agreed
Thats why they cheat and then accuse the Dems of cheating.
And Musk was hard at work already getting a trusted electrical corporation to use those special extension cords. Genius.
Thanks Jeff for this target rich post!
And yet, somehow tRump got reelected & Dems never asked for a recount? Trump winning all 7 swing states is fishy as hell
It's so painful to re-read all of our excited replies/posts. I have to remove myself or I dwell on it for far too long.
yeah didn’t really track did it… sure
🥺
This nation is going down with a lack of glory. We are no Ukraine, and Trump is no Zelenskyy. Instead he is a I wanna be Putin. MAGA is an out and out lie. His hat and shirt should say, IWBP! That is the truth.
I used to joke to a coworker that America was going to end up like the ungovernable Italy of the 1960s, but without the great food and fast cars.
Speaking of Italy, I love Georgia Meloni's eye rolling during Trump's ramblings. It says, "You want to be a dictator? We swang Mussolinii by his heels, motherfucker."
She's uber cool. Not the first time her face has given her away. Refreshing from the usual phonies at world events.
Watching the reactions was telling. Trump is looking for the guy who’s seated across from him, which drew a couple of puzzled looks.
I wonder if the group had to get together over stiff drinks after that "summit" to de-brief themselves before flying back to reality.
That might be a bit difficult since she's dead, so I say bring back Linda Ellerbee. I don't know whatever happened to her, but I always liked her.
I know she is dead but a dead Barbara Walters gives a better interview than the people working on network television now.
Trump hasn’t polished his act at all same arrogant smarmy prick.
True. Interesting to see how it has played itself out.

Ukraine has had its own oligarch thieves in power too. Buddies of Putin, Trump and Rudy.
The Russians love to launder money with American luxury real estate like Trump Tower, for example.
Yes. And the people are bravely fighting their enemies. We need to be doing the same. Trump says the enemy is within. I don't disagree with that. Of course some of that is the outer enemy that he has let in by getting rid of the people with intel in the Intelligence Community. Still our own enemies within are our biggest problem.

What are the visa requirements in Germany these days Linda?
US citizens don't need a visa and can stay in Germany or EU for 90 of 180 days. So 3 months in within a 180 day period and then 3 months out. If you want to stay longer than that you have to apply for a permanent residency while you are there. You have to register yourself, and get a German insurance which will cover you in the entire EU.
I am a German citizen as is our daughter and it has made it easier for us to move there. Not really easier than someone with permanent residency, which you cannot get until. you are there, so we arrive with permission to do things that others don't have. I have been offered 2 jobs teaching English part time since being there. I am a native speaker and have working permission so of course I would be in demand.
Interesting, similar to other EU countries. My son looked into Finland, which is where my mother’s family all came from. My fathers mothers family all came from Germany, his father Ireland… with the the country in chaos my extended family is looking at escaping.
I’ve got warmer destinations I’ve traveled extensively, on my agenda, thanks for sharing!
Hi Patrick, I particularly did not pick a "warmer" location. In fact, I picked Northern Germany because of global warming. As the global south is trying to move north, and there are environmental catastrophes south and warmer is not my personal choice.
Also, you can probably get EU citizenship if you have documentation of someone not more than a grandparent back that they were born in that country like Finland, Germany or Ireland.
One of the big environmental concerns is that the fresh water of the world is evaporating and being used up by data centers. It is quite frightening how many resources tech sucks up in all sorts of ways. So, the world is running out of water and I would make that a consideration for where you might choose to live. Is there water? What is the climate like? Are there fires and floods? Even in Chicago there is a concern about water because while our governors of the Great Lake States and Canadian Provinces are supposed to be stewarding the water, they are increasingly looking to monetize it. I read recently here in Chicago they want to build a big data center. Tech brings in money, but it also sucks up resources.
If you are just traveling to warmer destinations it is nice and not a problem for committing to the environment. I am fine with the climate where I am living, but do think that my summer vacations will have me heading north not south. I hope I get the time to travel again. I have had a lot of commitments these past few years.
8 too many. Reminds me of when Rick Santorum, or was it Sam Brownback, can’t remember which since it’s easy to confuse laughably regressive religious kooks, was running for preznit and almost no one showed up to hear them blather
Exactly Jeff…shenanigans abound over the election results!
The North Carolina vote analysis came out a couple days ago Tess, have you seen it?
Jeff, again, there were a few sentences that I just roared of laughter. This was certainly one of them. Hysterical!! "it’s great to know that if Dean Cain runs into any mannequins that have overstayed their visas, he’ll be prepared to fuck their shit seven ways from breakfast.' Thank you so much for the great laughs and for keeping our sanity in tact.
I entered the comments to say pretty much the same thing! But you said it well, Linda. Thank you. And thank you, Jeff, for always giving us plenty to laugh about. If we can still laugh, they haven't beaten us yet!
That killed me too. Will be lol all day
1. What a (hilariously) shining moment for Mace. “Nobody likes you, everybody hates you”.
2. Can Cain even make honorary ICE agent with that poor performance? The Gravy seals might welcome him.
She should go eat worms.
“Honorary” ICE agent. Roll that big honor in the toilet, and flush it down!
Maybe he can be honorary GRU jagbag too?
Not much honor in it
I still don't know what the "honorary" title means. Like he just rides along and cheers?
Honorary so he doesn’t get his ass kicked in a real situation.
Well dang it anyways.
"an out-of-breath ball of pudge" 🤣🤣
"SHOW ME YOUR GENITALS!" 🤣🤣
I'm out of breath laughing so hard. OMG.
I can now enjoy the rest of this Sunday. 😂😂😂😂
“How did these guys make it through the pipe?” I am deceased.
Did Dean Cain roofie a mannequin?
😂😂😂😂
😂😂😂 wouldn’t put it past him
Only way he could subdue it.
hahahahahaha! love this!
I’m stuck on the fact that Dean Cain is training to be an Honorary ICE Agent. Did he have to send in 10 boxtops? Will he get a decoder ring? Could he make a life choice more likely to make him look ridiculous that didn’t involve latex and hair extensions?
I think he's past training. I'm pretty sure I read that he's been sworn in
Great. Another anti-minority bigot who is part non-white. Go get therapy, Cain. Your self hatred is showing
Seeking one’s former relevance is a helluva drug?…😖
And sad to see
Would be cool lf they flipped the script and demanded better 🇺🇸 :/
I wonder if Dr. Phl has gone through the same ICE training. Probably not, just riding side-saddle in ICE vehicles getting his sadism off and his photo taken.
“Try not to laugh” didn’t work for me today. If ICE is chasing me I’m heading for the pipes.
🤣🤣🤣
We've got a culvert out back in the yard. I'm going to start practicing, just in case.
Me too 😂😂
I just laughed so hard over the meal team six videos that my dog had to come check on me. lol 😂
Maybe they'll lose the midterms because people had heart attacks training for ICE, or shot themselves to death. Fingers crossed. 🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼
But Bannon said that 🧊 will oversee the elections…
Can't have anyone voting while brown (legally or not). SMH
I'm betting Noem blows through that extra money in less than a year. With the ridiculous pay and bonuses and open hire policy, it's not sustainable. All I ever see her doing is posing (except when she was "testifying" before Congress. Remember when seemed to rub a tear from the corner of her eye? She was using her middle finger. Yeah, she flipped off the Representative questioning her. The only difference between Noem and Miller is that he hasn't bragged about shooting puppies). I want to see receipts from DHS because there is clearly rampant waste, fraud, and abuse.
Waste and fraud from a moron with Botox ballooned lips who loses a $4,000 Gucci bag containing $3,000 in cash in a pizza joint? No way. As Mary Trump noted in her YouTube, it will cost $1.4m per mile to paint the southern border fence black (over a $ billion). This was clearly Donald's brilliant idea because he's busy sundowning and doesn't know things cool down at NIGHT.
They tried it before. The paint blistered and peeled off. Did not deter anyone.
I love how Deanie looks over at the camera after each 'exercise'.
