1,348 words and I never got around to talking about Tulsi Gabbard.
here's John Bolton, who once "liked" one of my tweets. "I thought it was the worst cabinet-level appointment in history until I heard about the Matt Gaetz appointment."
On the other hand, you have Angus King who is pretty clear-eyed and level-headed. I have JD Fucking Vance and will soon have that car salesman clown Bernie Moreno.
Gerrymandering and term limits. They utterly destroyed the state, the latter with the complicity of Democrats. I call term limits a "sound good" policy because they appeal to everyone — unless they think about the ramifications. They're why we recently had the hugest scandal in Ohio history (with Trump likely to pardon the now imprisoned leader of it) and gerrymandering is why we couldn't do anything about it. We had an amendment to undo gerrymandering on the ballot in last week and it was defeated because our Secretary of Voter Suppress...I mean STATE....Frankie "Jim Crow" LaRose actually put lies on the ballot including saying in the title that it did the opposite of what it did and wrote language so wordy and confusing some people could barely find where to vote. This little pig needs to get out of politics (Rumor is Trump has an appointment waiting for him.)
I'm in Ohio, too, Anastasia. "Disgust" doesn’t begin to cover my reaction at Moreno's win. Now, the question is, how bad will J.usta D.ick's replacement be? DeWine is a total wuss and will do anything he's told, so the outlook is bleak.
Has she ever answered or responded to complaints or questions about her "being concerned" about the potential overturning of Roe, etc., or is it just so red and/or gerrymandered that she doesn't care.
When she first ran for Senate, Collins publicly announced she would only serve two terms, because "that's proper." So she was a committed liar from the beginning.
She needs an spine transplant, first and foremost...then some integrity work. She is such a wuss...she has to wet her finger and test the political breeze before she'll even say good morning.
Pervey McForehead, like his orange deviant idol, shouldn't be anywhere near the Cabinet, Oval Office or high schools. The list of candidates continues to be even a bigger eye opener when someone like Bobo is mentioned for the Secretary of Education. Like Gaetz as AG, it's hard to imagine that the GED failing, theater pud petter would be in charge of the future of today's youth. Could be part of a their disastrous plan to eliminate the Dept. of Education.
"their disastrous plan to eliminate" the government of the US for the world's oligarchs who have been saying since forever that "All me are created equal" is patently wrong and "WE" know how to run the world best. If you need the doumentaton and footnotes, read Heather Cox Richrdson.
I am just not convinced that the DOD and Intelligence Community are going to cave to just any old thing that DT decides to throw their way. I am not suggesting a military coup, just a refusal to do things that violate the Constitution that they swore to uphold, unlike about 6 members of the Supreme Court. According to Prof. Snyder, this is just playing into the hands of Xi Jinping.
At least my daughter studied Chinese for 6 years. She will be better able to adjust to our new Chinese overlords than many. She has spent hours on my husband's pronunciation of just one word, so we will be gonners.
All he has to do is work his way down to the "German Generals" who will do his bidding. I hate to tell you this, but there are a lot of them, particularly among the Fundiescum generals in the Chair Farce and the Special Operations Forces.
Let us face it, the US is getting as dangerous for women as Iran. Maybe we are the United States-i-stan like our familiar Taliban run nation Afghanistan.
Me, I think Bobo would be best suited to Labor Secretary. You know, in charge of jobs. Hand jobs, blowies, that kind of thing. Stuff she actually knows how to do.
Yes, I'm sure JD Fucking Vance will listen to me. I see Tim Ryan is eying another run for something after he BLEW IT in his 2022 campaign which could have spared us Vance. And he isn't changing his tune, still nattering on about the (white male blue collar) working class he groveled to last time, forgetting that Ohio is full of women and black people and Latinos who also "work."
That's only part of it, he gave him paid positions times in his orgs, in an attempt to make him look successful. He failed at all three, so Thiel finally set him up as a Vulture capitalist, gave him money and told him where to put it. Without his sugar-daddy who picked him out in college, he is nothing.
I was ALL IN for HarrisWalz. Loved her plans, supporting unions, rebuilding middle class. Not once in any of her or anyone's campaign did anyone talk about the lowest class. Poverty level. Only SS.
I get along fine, but it would have been nice to hear plans about increasing SS & getting more drugs covered via Medicare by fighting Big Pharma.
Agreed. A friend of mine, Morgan Harper ran against Ryan in the primary. She's brilliant and progressive, but Ryan was Schmucky Chuckie's pick. I hope she tries again.
One of my Senators is the poster girl for "lack of conviction, integrity and character", Senator Susan Collins of Maine. I've already written to her about not obeying in advance by handing over one of the most important duties of the Senate which is the "advice and consent" for the political appointees of the President. Don't know that it will do much good, but at least I added my voice.
Thank you T L, I’ve been encouraging everyone to call & email their Senators, even in solid red states to demand that they show some spine in these Senate confirmation hearings
Fortunately, although Kelly Ayotte (R) got elected governor, both my senators and my district representative are Democrats…I trust THEY will do the right thing!
Gabbard is a Putin girl, same as Stein. Trump offered her a position in his cabinet last time, but she was still pretending to be a democratic party person.
We all recall what Hillary Clinton said about Tulsi bring a Russian asset. Well, not by name but she said "a woman running in the presidential primary," and there were six. But only Tulsi flew off the handle. The hit dog that barked!
Or Pete Hegseth, who believes military personnel policy regarding gays in the military should be 'back where it was before 1992." (Hint: before open serve, before "Don't Ask/Don't Tell, back when open persecution was the rule). Also "women have no place in a combat role." And we should recruit fwer "diversity recruits" from urban areas who arrive "pumped full of vaccinations and bad ideology."
Another entry in my planned article, "The Potential Benefits of Prophylactic Assassination."
I'd like to be in the room when female Navy submariners, helicopter pilots, forward deployed ships crew, etc. are told they're being transferred to shore or an MSC ship. And when spouses of current shore billeted sailors learn their shore duty has been canceled because female sailors must have a place to go, stand by for some anti-retention. Sailors typically have to do three to five years at sea before getting shore duty. That's a lot of missed family time. Additionally, not putting women in combat billets hobbles their career. But Hegseth probably sees that as a plus.
What happens when there are so many people who are deemed unsuitable for our military makes us have a way smaller military population? I foresee that war could be on the horizon & the draft would have to be initiated again. And mass deportation at the same time, keeping the National Guard tied up rounding up “illegal aliens”. Guess I should stop thinking “what if”.
Yes and how long before we're all the way back to "no gays allowed" in the military? Re-instating the draft has been the boogie man for decades. I wonder if that would be the last straw. On the other hand, if your intention is to roll over and show every global strongman your belly, you don't need a big military. And look at all the money Elon could save by cutting back active duty personnel. They'd be fine with a small military and would be happier with their own internal force of storm troopers- a force who's purpose is to operate within the US.
All 18-25 year males must register for Selected Service (with some exceptions) and have had to for a long time. I haven't seen Project 2025's change to HS students. Can you give me a page number? And will this include females?
I don’t have a link. It is something that was reported on msnbc regarding things Hegseth has said on Fox or written. I definitely believe he’s said it judging by the horrid tatoos he has all over his body.
Hegseth. A tv personality. Those tattoos spell militia. His brain shoots intolerant shit out of his mouth. He is stupid, believes his convictions and he is dangerous to others. Otherwise, what's not to like.
I'm planning to write some fan fiction where our erstwhile allies feed comically incorrect intel to Tulsi Gabbard, sending the US and Russia (because any intel she gets will be immediately forwarded to Russia) on a series of amusing capers.
Where is "the deep state" when we need it? Black ops, off the books tasks, with plausible deniability. Paging America's "Deep State"! We are running out of time.
Well Prof. Snyder has analogy's yesterday and today of the situation, and Tulsi Gabbard was included in todays analogy, which is called The Submission Chain. The only thing I question about what he is saying here, is whether everyone else knows that Xi Jinping rules Putin, who rules Trump. https://snyder.substack.com/p/the-submission-chain
These appointees are the most devoted and groveling people in Donny's orbit. This will help minimize dissent among his staff and prevent any leaks to the press about what's going on in the palace. And they will be the puppets, and Trump the puppet master.
No. According to Prof. Snyder Trump is not the puppetmaster, his puppetmaster is Putin and Putin's puppetmaster is Jinping. So, all of them are just puppets of Putin and ultimately of Jinping. See Snyder's The Submission chain analogy. https://snyder.substack.com/p/the-submission-chain
Put in Xi Jinping for Shaw at the top, Put in Putin for Prof. Higgens, and put in Trump for 'Liza Doolittle at the bottom (like the play on words, "lazy do little.") and then everyone else that Trump appoints is below that, and we are below them.
during the first Trump administration, people would head him off from stupid decisions by simply hiding paperwork. my guess is that Matt Gaetz will never be able to find a single piece of paper during his entire tenure at the Justice Department. These folks are good at blabbing but horrible at keeping track of stuff.
Saw a comment of Meidas Touch of how even more pathetic for these stooges to allow trump to use them that way, nominate them when they are so over the top bad that he's just saying fuck you to the establishment.
Right. trump got 1.6 million more votes than 2020 (which I actually find shocking) but Harris got 8.4 million fewer votes than Biden. How to account for the missing 8.4 million?
Democrats being democrats. This is from Catherynne Valente:
"I trust Democrats’ deep, passionate, and powerful longing to not vote. I don’t understand it, but it’s as reliable as sunrise and the tide and white male comics complaining that their warmed-over take my wife, please jokes are being silenced to millions of views and dollars. Democrats FUCKING LOVE not voting. At the drop of the smallest and most irrelevant novelty hat, Dems seem to start celebrating, throw up our hands and joyfully not the fuck vote because…blue state so it doesn’t matter (yes it does, downballot dingus)/I got stuff to do and it’s a done deal (it isn’t, and we will all have a lot more shit to do if Elon Musk gets to Twitter our economy while RFK leaves the rotting carcass of public health in a park for fun and Trump sells the entire country to Putin for $599 and a kiss)/electoralism doesn’t work (oh my god hold my earrings)/my not voting sends a message to the establishment (they have no way of knowing why you didn’t vote, it could have been because Chipotle had a BOGO deal that day, your message is just a blank, subjectless email sent to no one)if Trump gets in it will accelerate us toward the revolution and people will rise up (he was already in power and there was no glorious leftist revolution, just the breakdown of society and suffering, also a revolution would not turn out with gentle loving progressives in charge)/the candidate isn’t perfect and will win anyway so I can stay pure (they won’t necessarily win anyway and not doing the bare minimum of saying please not fascism though is literally the opposite of political purity) or whatever reason seems fun that day."
Her pre-election post was prophetic.
Add in all the Gaza first voters who sneered at Harris, yelling Genocide are going to see what a true genocide looks like shortly.
The Republicans will either confirm anyone that the orange leader tells them to or there won’t be any confirmation hearings. They will bypass any Republican candidates and just appoint them to the position !
The Senate would have to agree to recess so that Trump would be able to semi-secretly get whom he wants into his Cabinet. But there is little reason for Trump to do this, since the Senate Majority is Republican. This is not just a F/U to the Senate (they didn't elect as Senate Majority Leader Trump's favored candidate that egregious toady Rick Scott) and every Dem who cares about the country it uis also a fealty test for the Senate. I don't think Thune likes being baited and pushed around by Trump...we may see some sparks.
And if he is, will he have anyone to order around other than Schedule F appointees? The attorneys who do the day-to-day work at DOJ may question what it will do to their careers (and freedom) to carry out the undoubtedly unconstitutional orders Gaetz will make and may decide to seek work outside of the federal government.
Yeah. The planet is on fire. Storms are ruining cities left and right. Fish are dying in too-warm oceans. But, by all means, let’s waste time and money fucking around with appointing dicks, many of whom won’t stand a chance in the approval cycle. Stroking the egos. There’s already signs that musk and fuckhead delusions of grandeur cannot exist in the same 100 yard radius. Which is hopefully a good thing. But it’s all so pathetic. And SO third world stuff. Or oligarchy shit.
That would be so great!! I hope you’re onto something!
I have doubts though because it’s hard to tell which clown has a bigger ego. Musk can’t run for president bc of birth location. But I can’t help but think it’s what he really wants? I wonder if he’s willing to take on a shit load to of Trump craziness to be this close to Trump.
He’s not neurotypical so he doesn’t get social cues. Trump used him for his money, and army of edge-lord fans. But does not want a younger, much richer ego around.
So you have to be very straight with him. He’s also very macho and quick to take offense, so I want to see it work in our favor for a change.
Now we'll see if there is any shred of sanity, decency, and genuine concern for America (used to be called patriotism, but fucking MAGA has polluted that term) left in the R party to reject these ridiculously bad picks.
McCarthy blamed his ouster as Speaker on Gaetz. It was true. I wish I shared your optimism. I just think that stupid loyalty thing will win. Good luck to us.
Yeah, Gaetz got McCarthy booted out by enlisting Traitor Greene and some other dumbasses who never do anything substantive. So there’s payback to be had
Pretty sure you can count on reliably blue Washington state to join forces with Gavin and JB … we’re not an “important” state but our new Democratic Governor Bob Ferguson used to be our state’s AG and has already sued the feds (during Donnie Con’s first term IIRC) so it won’t be his first rodeo.
And hello from red State, North Carolina, with a Democratic governor, lieutenant, governor, and Attorney General. And we managed to break the state legislators, super majority, so our governor’s veto has power.
Every BLUE state is important! Count me in as a Bob Ferguson fan swf Sr. (CA). I cheered him on as he sued the 1st turd's term every time turd turned around! And Ferguson won! It was a relief to see his dogged determination!
Our Governor in Hawaii issued a statement. It wasnʻt as strong as Gavinʻs and JBʻs because we are a little state and vulnerable to things like container ships not coming with the 80% of the food we eat here, but he did make a statement of defiance.
Greetings from Redder than Red Aiken County in Even More Redder Than Red South Carolina. The GOP literally controls everything in this state - government, media, even a super-majority in the state legislature. My vote hasn't counted for diddly-squat in 30 years.
Election security expert Duncan Buell PhD Chair Emeritus in Computer Science and Engineering at the University of South Carolina was one of several who signed a Duty To Warn letter to Kamala Harris immediately after the Nov 8th election, in addition to Stephen Spoonamore’s Duty To Warn letter. https://www.youtube.com/live/VrFb-rLVF10?si=uivkqlMPoyHRK4ur
Our ex-sheriff governor already kissed the ring. He'll be useless. Dems also lost a super majority in the state houses. But we did re-elect Rosen and we have another Dem senator.
Thanks Jeff, for clarifying the big man toilet. I had incorrectly thought it was to accommodate giant sagging balls, but you have clarified that it's for ginormous droopy dicks.
They wish. Aren't too many men who are that big when flaccid, and good luck trying to pee with an erection. Sorry for the TMI, but the level MAGA has dropped us to has created this
But it's a great and typical alpha male MAGA grift--play to their vanity and inflated sense of self. I'm gonna market a MAGA ruler. It will be six inches long but the markings on it will say 12 inches
Being in CA is keeping me sane, although we live in aryan-ville here in Surf City—Huntington Beach. And, to our surprise, city again ranked near 50/50 in ejection. Fortunately many if not most HB denizens keep to themselves. But I’m glad we have Newsom. Not loving him a ton. But he’s done an amazing job with our economy—5th largest economy in the world (not just states—in the world).
There are some things Trump can’t just cut off. I need to look at the list again. PS. Is your comment truncated on your screen rather than a displayed “continue thread” icon? I’m finding lots of people’s comments, including mine, are stopped mid sentence.
THIS. IS. A. NIGHTMARE. I can barely function the dread is so strong. Thanks to all of you in tremendous community. We need each other more than ever now.
1. The Onion getting the InfoWars site is hilarious. I hope Jones is crying into his snake oil supplements over this. I look forward to seeing what the new overlords do with it.
2. The Gaetz nomination is just a CYA for Gaetz so the damning report wouldn’t get published. Birds of a feather help each other out. Even many the GOP faithful find this horrifying.
I wonder what today will bring. Perhaps the appointment of Beetle Juice Boebert to head the Department of Education? At this point, I actually have that one on my BINGO card.
Since most of Trump's crew thinks he will rule by fiat, they might consider the Department of Education to be a short-lived, dead-end job. Why give up your current gig for something that will be gone in a few months? Trump is also cutting into the ranks of Republicans in the House, and might take away the majority if he keeps stocking his cabinet with House members.
But turd can count, right? To keep the House majority, with a thin cushion for illness, etc? 🤔. I wonder if he even knows the #s of Dems/GOP in the House.
Gaetz and Gabbard are barely qualified to ride in the clown car and certainly not able to drive it! Trump is truly the biggest grievance collector in history. His continued FUCK YOU! to anyone not puckering up kiss his depends is of pathological proportions! The only reason I’ve maintained any semblance of sanity since the election, is that I live in Illinois! JB Pritzker is a Chicago Democrat and knows how to fight.
With Donald’s appointments is it any wonder we are becoming a vassal Russian state? Gaetz as AG will destroy evidence against himself on the federal level, he will destroy evidence against Donald. Oh ….on Russian TV last night they referred to Tulsi as a girlfriend/ agent of Russia.. the announcers were so fucking happy. Next up we see Poland reenforcing their borders due to the fact that Vlad has said after Ukraine they intend to move into Poland… after that conquest they intend to March into Berlin, they say this openly on national TV…..wake up people, we have seen this movie before and Donald will not assist any NATO country against Russia because of kompromat. 🤮🤮🤮. Needless to say as a 72 year old I’m just so fucking pissed and tired of MAGA and their triumphalist attitudes🤮🤮
Criminals surrounding themselves with other criminals, but only 1 has immunity.
Please remember these proposed camps for”illegal” folks to be deported doesn’t stop there, all minority communities are at risk….even US citizens 🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮
I love to cook and eat, and to feed people. The lemon risotto is kind of a shortcut - baked instead of stirred until your arm feels like it's going to fall off. And it's just as creamy and tasty as the classic version. Nice made with peas too. Think I'll have it with baked salmon. If you'd like the recipe I'll post it here.
Hard to "like " posts these days. Unless, it is what you write. I look forward to reading your posts everyday. Thanks so much. Did you notice that T was holding his left arm strangely, in the video with President Biden? I immediately thought "heart attack ". Hmmmm.
I wish social media would all change "like" to "read" - so many posts (esp on twitter) that I cannot "like", however meaningless the word in the context
So who else on here has read that a couple of days after the election, the hot Google search was: how do I change my vote?
I don’t know why, but somehow that makes it even worse. We can ever get control of the government again, we need to make a test for registering to vote. Nothing stupid like North Carolina did back in the Jim Crow days where you had to memorize all the 100 counties of North Carolina . But how about maybe some basic understanding of the separation of powers? Maybe throw in questions about important amendments and constitutional guarantees.
My head is bloody from banging it on my granite countertops .
I agree Sherri-the literacy of 54% of adult Americans is BELOW the 6th grade level! Frightening-and they want to eliminate the department of education 🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️
1,348 words and I never got around to talking about Tulsi Gabbard.
here's John Bolton, who once "liked" one of my tweets. "I thought it was the worst cabinet-level appointment in history until I heard about the Matt Gaetz appointment."

Yes. And everyone, contact your senators to say “no” to the pervert.
Thank god my senators are Mark Kelly and Ruben Gallego. But I’ll remind them anyway.
Mine is Susan Collins who sometimes needs encouragement to do the right thing, if you know what I mean.
On the other hand, you have Angus King who is pretty clear-eyed and level-headed. I have JD Fucking Vance and will soon have that car salesman clown Bernie Moreno.
WTF has happened to Ohioans?
Gerrymandering and term limits. They utterly destroyed the state, the latter with the complicity of Democrats. I call term limits a "sound good" policy because they appeal to everyone — unless they think about the ramifications. They're why we recently had the hugest scandal in Ohio history (with Trump likely to pardon the now imprisoned leader of it) and gerrymandering is why we couldn't do anything about it. We had an amendment to undo gerrymandering on the ballot in last week and it was defeated because our Secretary of Voter Suppress...I mean STATE....Frankie "Jim Crow" LaRose actually put lies on the ballot including saying in the title that it did the opposite of what it did and wrote language so wordy and confusing some people could barely find where to vote. This little pig needs to get out of politics (Rumor is Trump has an appointment waiting for him.)
It’s the home of Kent read, Kent write can’t think, Kent State HI2!
I'm in Ohio, too, Anastasia. "Disgust" doesn’t begin to cover my reaction at Moreno's win. Now, the question is, how bad will J.usta D.ick's replacement be? DeWine is a total wuss and will do anything he's told, so the outlook is bleak.
So sorry.
true, dat about Angus King.
Mine too and what she needs is to have her weasel ass kicked out of Congress. But until that happens, yes, encouragement.
You said it better than me!
Has she ever answered or responded to complaints or questions about her "being concerned" about the potential overturning of Roe, etc., or is it just so red and/or gerrymandered that she doesn't care.
When she first ran for Senate, Collins publicly announced she would only serve two terms, because "that's proper." So she was a committed liar from the beginning.
Correct. Collins is now in her 6th term. As I've often posted, Collins has missed her Margaret Chase Smith Moment over & over & over.
And coasting on Olympia Snowe's reputation, she was the last of the 'good' republicans.
She is very very very concerned.
The RNC donors promised her enough money that she couldn't live long enough to spend, and bought her conscience.
She needs an spine transplant, first and foremost...then some integrity work. She is such a wuss...she has to wet her finger and test the political breeze before she'll even say good morning.
But she's always "concerned". Haha.
Same here. Generally speaking, Collins only bucks her party when it costs her NOTHING, so we'll see how she votes on these horrible nominees.
So Glad that Gallego won! This California lady donated small amounts monthly to his campaign. 👏🏼
We Arizonans thank you!
CA: Schiff and Padilla. They are all over it.
I agree with your sentiment. Mine are Dick Durbin and Tammy Duckworth. I can count on them to vote democratically.
Mine are Tammy Duckworth and Dick Durban with JB Pritzker as governor, but I’m still very worried about everything.
My senators are Amy Klobuchar and Tina Smith, thank God. Amy won easily with over 60% of the vote.
Pervey McForehead, like his orange deviant idol, shouldn't be anywhere near the Cabinet, Oval Office or high schools. The list of candidates continues to be even a bigger eye opener when someone like Bobo is mentioned for the Secretary of Education.

Hitler used bribery to gain the support of the German military.
Pervey McForehead 🤣 I like it! I've always referred to him as Rapey McFivehead
Like
Can’t get past “theater pud petter”. Brilliant. Unfortunate that it is part of a discussion on an AG appt, but nevertheless brilliant.
Thanks Marie.
Let us face it, the US is getting as dangerous for women as Iran. Maybe we are the United States-i-stan like our familiar Taliban run nation Afghanistan.
Trumpfuckitstan.
Bobo would be great. 👍
I hope you're kidding. 😬
Yes I am.
Me, I think Bobo would be best suited to Labor Secretary. You know, in charge of jobs. Hand jobs, blowies, that kind of thing. Stuff she actually knows how to do.
Perhaps she hasn’t risen to her true calling: starring in ‘adult’ films.
As a door stop, yes, anything else would require more sentience than she has.
Professor Bobo, from the Mike seasons of MST3K, would be even better.
Just call him Bevis.
Yes, I'm sure JD Fucking Vance will listen to me. I see Tim Ryan is eying another run for something after he BLEW IT in his 2022 campaign which could have spared us Vance. And he isn't changing his tune, still nattering on about the (white male blue collar) working class he groveled to last time, forgetting that Ohio is full of women and black people and Latinos who also "work."
Not all Ryan's fault. Fucking fascist Peter Thiel poured $10 million into Vantz's campaign
I heard that Thiel spent 15 mill for Vance's Senate seat. Makes me sick.
That's only part of it, he gave him paid positions times in his orgs, in an attempt to make him look successful. He failed at all three, so Thiel finally set him up as a Vulture capitalist, gave him money and told him where to put it. Without his sugar-daddy who picked him out in college, he is nothing.
Now that’s the truth. On his own JD is a failure.
🫢😢🤬
And Schumer withheld and $ help that could have been provided to help with his campaign.
Didn’t Ryan also challenge Pelosi’s for speakership? That’s some overconfidence showing.
I was ALL IN for HarrisWalz. Loved her plans, supporting unions, rebuilding middle class. Not once in any of her or anyone's campaign did anyone talk about the lowest class. Poverty level. Only SS.
I get along fine, but it would have been nice to hear plans about increasing SS & getting more drugs covered via Medicare by fighting Big Pharma.
Absolutely Teri, I too was very emotionally & financially invested in the Harris/Walz campaign, more so than any election in my 74 yrs.
I have some suggestions that I would like our party to do to try & win.
1) Dump Chuck Schumer as Senate leader, he’s not up to the task.
2) Get a new chair for the DNC
3) Laser focus on getting more homes & apts built
4) Get the Federal minimum wage up
5) Do whatever the F they need to do to increase jobs where the ppl are who need them
Ryan ran one of the most inept, tone-deaf campaigns I've ever seen. So bad, you'd think he was an R.
Agreed. A friend of mine, Morgan Harper ran against Ryan in the primary. She's brilliant and progressive, but Ryan was Schmucky Chuckie's pick. I hope she tries again.
Yes, I read Steve Schmidt’s “The Warning” & I agree that Schumer needs to be ousted as the Senate Democrat’s leader. He’s inept
One of my Senators is the poster girl for "lack of conviction, integrity and character", Senator Susan Collins of Maine. I've already written to her about not obeying in advance by handing over one of the most important duties of the Senate which is the "advice and consent" for the political appointees of the President. Don't know that it will do much good, but at least I added my voice.
Thank you T L, I’ve been encouraging everyone to call & email their Senators, even in solid red states to demand that they show some spine in these Senate confirmation hearings
99% of the GOP senators will immediately cave. Iʻm not expecting any miracles here.
It seems that each day we have to contact our elected representatives to combat some Trump inspired initiative and he isn't even in office yet!
Indeed Linda! Seems putting a mobbed-up career criminal whose treasonous actions and tyrannical behavior, would
necessitate daily action for any position in government, let alone president!!
That’s how we passively resist! 💪🏼
Indeed, get off your keyboard and call your senators immediately Mike!!
I did! Thanks for the reminder!
Fortunately, although Kelly Ayotte (R) got elected governor, both my senators and my district representative are Democrats…I trust THEY will do the right thing!
I am pretty sure Eric Swalwell will vote Gaetz OUT!!! Gabbard too!!
Eric Swalwell is not in the Senate.
Gabbard is a Putin girl, same as Stein. Trump offered her a position in his cabinet last time, but she was still pretending to be a democratic party person.
Yep and there’s others voicing the same.
Mine is the useless Susan Collins! And I already know Angus will do the right thing.
Reply. Also, protect your daughters, they are even less safe with him heading the DOJ.
The latest is that there are plenty of Republicans saying the same thing. I think he’s toast (again)!
Hahahahahahahaha I laugh because I have been crying. Mine are Scott and Rubio. Fuck.
We all recall what Hillary Clinton said about Tulsi bring a Russian asset. Well, not by name but she said "a woman running in the presidential primary," and there were six. But only Tulsi flew off the handle. The hit dog that barked!
She and Stein were Putin lickers.
Or Pete Hegseth, who believes military personnel policy regarding gays in the military should be 'back where it was before 1992." (Hint: before open serve, before "Don't Ask/Don't Tell, back when open persecution was the rule). Also "women have no place in a combat role." And we should recruit fwer "diversity recruits" from urban areas who arrive "pumped full of vaccinations and bad ideology."
Another entry in my planned article, "The Potential Benefits of Prophylactic Assassination."
I'd like to be in the room when female Navy submariners, helicopter pilots, forward deployed ships crew, etc. are told they're being transferred to shore or an MSC ship. And when spouses of current shore billeted sailors learn their shore duty has been canceled because female sailors must have a place to go, stand by for some anti-retention. Sailors typically have to do three to five years at sea before getting shore duty. That's a lot of missed family time. Additionally, not putting women in combat billets hobbles their career. But Hegseth probably sees that as a plus.
Hegseth can fuck all the way off to Fuckstanislovia Carol!!
I'd pay for his scum class, non-stop ticket to Fuckstanislovia!
What happens when there are so many people who are deemed unsuitable for our military makes us have a way smaller military population? I foresee that war could be on the horizon & the draft would have to be initiated again. And mass deportation at the same time, keeping the National Guard tied up rounding up “illegal aliens”. Guess I should stop thinking “what if”.
Yes and how long before we're all the way back to "no gays allowed" in the military? Re-instating the draft has been the boogie man for decades. I wonder if that would be the last straw. On the other hand, if your intention is to roll over and show every global strongman your belly, you don't need a big military. And look at all the money Elon could save by cutting back active duty personnel. They'd be fine with a small military and would be happier with their own internal force of storm troopers- a force who's purpose is to operate within the US.
Project 2025 calls for all public HS students to have to register for possible military service.
All 18-25 year males must register for Selected Service (with some exceptions) and have had to for a long time. I haven't seen Project 2025's change to HS students. Can you give me a page number? And will this include females?
I don’t have a page number in the 2025 manual handy but there’s this https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/project-2025-military-entrance-exam/
He’s also said that Black people in the military shouldn’t rise to the upper levels of leadership/command
Can you give me a link for that, P.J. Schuster? I did a quick search and couldn't find anything.
I don’t have a link. It is something that was reported on msnbc regarding things Hegseth has said on Fox or written. I definitely believe he’s said it judging by the horrid tatoos he has all over his body.
Hegseth. A tv personality. Those tattoos spell militia. His brain shoots intolerant shit out of his mouth. He is stupid, believes his convictions and he is dangerous to others. Otherwise, what's not to like.
😂😂 Don't give me any ideas.
Sounds interesting Tom!
i'm sure Matt has his sights on Kevin McCarthy polishing up those handcuffs... good fucking by America. It was a good run.
Bon voyage mon Amie!!
Race to the Bottom is at full speed.
I'm planning to write some fan fiction where our erstwhile allies feed comically incorrect intel to Tulsi Gabbard, sending the US and Russia (because any intel she gets will be immediately forwarded to Russia) on a series of amusing capers.
Iʻm hoping the Deep State will really happen in the US intel community.
Where is "the deep state" when we need it? Black ops, off the books tasks, with plausible deniability. Paging America's "Deep State"! We are running out of time.
Make sure to share, maybe it will be the new "Split" now that that excellent tale is told.
I’d enjoy reading that Robin!!
And that from Bolton who is a top level shitbird and wingnut in his own right.
Well Prof. Snyder has analogy's yesterday and today of the situation, and Tulsi Gabbard was included in todays analogy, which is called The Submission Chain. The only thing I question about what he is saying here, is whether everyone else knows that Xi Jinping rules Putin, who rules Trump. https://snyder.substack.com/p/the-submission-chain
Haven’t made my way there yet Linda thanks!
Tulsi Gabbard, National Intelligence? Oxymoron!
More dangerous than just that. Read the Snyder piece.
https://snyder.substack.com/p/the-submission-chain
Bolton. Really. He is insane. I don't disagree with him but he is insane.
These appointees are the most devoted and groveling people in Donny's orbit. This will help minimize dissent among his staff and prevent any leaks to the press about what's going on in the palace. And they will be the puppets, and Trump the puppet master.
No. According to Prof. Snyder Trump is not the puppetmaster, his puppetmaster is Putin and Putin's puppetmaster is Jinping. So, all of them are just puppets of Putin and ultimately of Jinping. See Snyder's The Submission chain analogy. https://snyder.substack.com/p/the-submission-chain
To better picture it, you can imagine the cover of the album for My Fair Lady, musical based on Pygmalion play by George Bernard Shaw. Here is a link to the cover. https://fontsinuse.com/uses/38855/rex-harrison-julie-andrews-et-al-my-fair-lady#zoom-1
Put in Xi Jinping for Shaw at the top, Put in Putin for Prof. Higgens, and put in Trump for 'Liza Doolittle at the bottom (like the play on words, "lazy do little.") and then everyone else that Trump appoints is below that, and we are below them.
America: A first world country with third world aspirations.
Well said.
Great summary.
The Gaetz pick is the one breaking my brain the most. Because it's SO FUCKING OBVIOUS why he picked him and it's SO FUCKING DISGUSTING.
during the first Trump administration, people would head him off from stupid decisions by simply hiding paperwork. my guess is that Matt Gaetz will never be able to find a single piece of paper during his entire tenure at the Justice Department. These folks are good at blabbing but horrible at keeping track of stuff.
Matt Gaetz will never be confirmed.
I have trouble being that optimistic.
Not so sure. Trump's been moving toward rendering the Senate irrelevant in terms of his appointments.
And neither will Tulsi Gabbard. TFG is just trying to get a rise out of people. And it’s “payback” for their support.
Saw a comment of Meidas Touch of how even more pathetic for these stooges to allow trump to use them that way, nominate them when they are so over the top bad that he's just saying fuck you to the establishment.
....and tRumPutin will never be re-elected?
I'm not sure he was. There are some subtle and spooky elements to the whole issue.
Right. trump got 1.6 million more votes than 2020 (which I actually find shocking) but Harris got 8.4 million fewer votes than Biden. How to account for the missing 8.4 million?
Democrats being democrats. This is from Catherynne Valente:
"I trust Democrats’ deep, passionate, and powerful longing to not vote. I don’t understand it, but it’s as reliable as sunrise and the tide and white male comics complaining that their warmed-over take my wife, please jokes are being silenced to millions of views and dollars. Democrats FUCKING LOVE not voting. At the drop of the smallest and most irrelevant novelty hat, Dems seem to start celebrating, throw up our hands and joyfully not the fuck vote because…blue state so it doesn’t matter (yes it does, downballot dingus)/I got stuff to do and it’s a done deal (it isn’t, and we will all have a lot more shit to do if Elon Musk gets to Twitter our economy while RFK leaves the rotting carcass of public health in a park for fun and Trump sells the entire country to Putin for $599 and a kiss)/electoralism doesn’t work (oh my god hold my earrings)/my not voting sends a message to the establishment (they have no way of knowing why you didn’t vote, it could have been because Chipotle had a BOGO deal that day, your message is just a blank, subjectless email sent to no one)if Trump gets in it will accelerate us toward the revolution and people will rise up (he was already in power and there was no glorious leftist revolution, just the breakdown of society and suffering, also a revolution would not turn out with gentle loving progressives in charge)/the candidate isn’t perfect and will win anyway so I can stay pure (they won’t necessarily win anyway and not doing the bare minimum of saying please not fascism though is literally the opposite of political purity) or whatever reason seems fun that day."
Her pre-election post was prophetic.
Add in all the Gaza first voters who sneered at Harris, yelling Genocide are going to see what a true genocide looks like shortly.
(her full post here is worth the read: https://catvalente.substack.com/p/election-eve-zen-and-the-art-of-doomscrolling
Voter suppression
I wrote a piece four days ago about the missing 9 million voters.
Vanished into thin air: Where did 9M Democratic voters go? Nov 09, 2024
https://kathleenweber.substack.com/p/vanished-into-thin-air-where-did
Absolutely right. And, as always, the woman won the popular vote but the Electoral College keeps us in the dark ages.
Was there a major, late-breaking shift? According to the reports I see, drumpf won the popular vote. Inexplicably.
The Republicans will either confirm anyone that the orange leader tells them to or there won’t be any confirmation hearings. They will bypass any Republican candidates and just appoint them to the position !
The Senate would have to agree to recess so that Trump would be able to semi-secretly get whom he wants into his Cabinet. But there is little reason for Trump to do this, since the Senate Majority is Republican. This is not just a F/U to the Senate (they didn't elect as Senate Majority Leader Trump's favored candidate that egregious toady Rick Scott) and every Dem who cares about the country it uis also a fealty test for the Senate. I don't think Thune likes being baited and pushed around by Trump...we may see some sparks.
Yep
two months ago, I'd believe you
this day and age , nobody knows what will actually happen. Nothing shocks me anymore.
And if he is, will he have anyone to order around other than Schedule F appointees? The attorneys who do the day-to-day work at DOJ may question what it will do to their careers (and freedom) to carry out the undoubtedly unconstitutional orders Gaetz will make and may decide to seek work outside of the federal government.
That's probably part of the plan.
Any non- loyal lawyers will be fired.
Like Donald Trump will never be president in 2016 and 2024?!?
Gaetz’s nomination is probably a ruse so we don’t pay attention to the really scary shit.
May you be a prophet.🙏🤞
Not a single piece of paper but plenty of videos.
They should leak the videos! Joel Green got extra time to testify because there were so much evidence he had to share.
Not to mention governing isn’t even on the list of things to do.
Yeah. The planet is on fire. Storms are ruining cities left and right. Fish are dying in too-warm oceans. But, by all means, let’s waste time and money fucking around with appointing dicks, many of whom won’t stand a chance in the approval cycle. Stroking the egos. There’s already signs that musk and fuckhead delusions of grandeur cannot exist in the same 100 yard radius. Which is hopefully a good thing. But it’s all so pathetic. And SO third world stuff. Or oligarchy shit.
I hope Musk realizes he got used, and uses his money to take down the tangerine turd.
That would be so great!! I hope you’re onto something!
I have doubts though because it’s hard to tell which clown has a bigger ego. Musk can’t run for president bc of birth location. But I can’t help but think it’s what he really wants? I wonder if he’s willing to take on a shit load to of Trump craziness to be this close to Trump.
He’s not neurotypical so he doesn’t get social cues. Trump used him for his money, and army of edge-lord fans. But does not want a younger, much richer ego around.
So you have to be very straight with him. He’s also very macho and quick to take offense, so I want to see it work in our favor for a change.
Wow. That’s a bunch of interesting input to consider.
The Amerikkkan Dark Age has begun, and America is now a Shithole Country.
It’s far beyond disturbing Alison, it’s an adjudicated rapist and child trafficking orgy, festival version of Caligula at the White House!
Matt Gaetz is a pedophile. It's that simple.
A fucking pedophile.
Yep. Rerun wanted to find out where the Senate’s very bottom line is with his Gaetz appointment.
Good observation, SPW. Testing for weakness, so to speak. Obviously, he isn't smart enough to think of it, but someone else is.
Wish I could take credit for that. It was Keith Olberman’s idea. It was his you Tube or podcast of Thursday.
That pedophile will be confirmed.
Ah, but now there’s RFKjr for HHS. He’s proposing a “short break” from research on drugs and disease, just around 8 years.
And he wants a confirmed agent of Russia running the national intelligence services.
God bless the spines of anyone who can stand up to these people. Their names will be celebrated as long as we have voices.
The clown car is destined to crash and burn on its way around the beltway Neal!
Expected. Just like the first round.
Now we'll see if there is any shred of sanity, decency, and genuine concern for America (used to be called patriotism, but fucking MAGA has polluted that term) left in the R party to reject these ridiculously bad picks.
You are joking, right? They will make negative or neutral remarks.
So far, none have had the guts to call him what he is.
A fucking pedophile.
They will confirm a pedophile.
I'm hoping that Gaetz is so over the top awful that he will not pass. There are some stories out there that Kevin McCarthy is working to sink Gaetz
McCarthy blamed his ouster as Speaker on Gaetz. It was true. I wish I shared your optimism. I just think that stupid loyalty thing will win. Good luck to us.
This whole sordid affair will in the future referred to as GaetzGate
I heard it from you first.
Yeah, Gaetz got McCarthy booted out by enlisting Traitor Greene and some other dumbasses who never do anything substantive. So there’s payback to be had
C'mon, Hannah, you know I never joke. Haha
😁
Pretty sure you can count on reliably blue Washington state to join forces with Gavin and JB … we’re not an “important” state but our new Democratic Governor Bob Ferguson used to be our state’s AG and has already sued the feds (during Donnie Con’s first term IIRC) so it won’t be his first rodeo.
And hello from red State, North Carolina, with a Democratic governor, lieutenant, governor, and Attorney General. And we managed to break the state legislators, super majority, so our governor’s veto has power.
Maryland too, with our Governor Wes Moore.
Yep! Wes rocks!!
Every BLUE state is important! Count me in as a Bob Ferguson fan swf Sr. (CA). I cheered him on as he sued the 1st turd's term every time turd turned around! And Ferguson won! It was a relief to see his dogged determination!
I believe Ferguson has already said they're on board.
He has.
Our Governor in Hawaii issued a statement. It wasnʻt as strong as Gavinʻs and JBʻs because we are a little state and vulnerable to things like container ships not coming with the 80% of the food we eat here, but he did make a statement of defiance.
Greetings from Redder than Red Aiken County in Even More Redder Than Red South Carolina. The GOP literally controls everything in this state - government, media, even a super-majority in the state legislature. My vote hasn't counted for diddly-squat in 30 years.
Election security expert Duncan Buell PhD Chair Emeritus in Computer Science and Engineering at the University of South Carolina was one of several who signed a Duty To Warn letter to Kamala Harris immediately after the Nov 8th election, in addition to Stephen Spoonamore’s Duty To Warn letter. https://www.youtube.com/live/VrFb-rLVF10?si=uivkqlMPoyHRK4ur
Our ex-sheriff governor already kissed the ring. He'll be useless. Dems also lost a super majority in the state houses. But we did re-elect Rosen and we have another Dem senator.
Thanks Jeff, for clarifying the big man toilet. I had incorrectly thought it was to accommodate giant sagging balls, but you have clarified that it's for ginormous droopy dicks.
One of the grossest visuals ever.
I'm guessing Trump will want one (and brag about it) despite having no need for one.
He has trouble not peeing on his chin when he’s sitting on the gold throne for other business.
🤣
😂😂😂😂
😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆
I don't think he has seen his own dick in years
Would make a great ‘punchbowl’ @ maralado
😂
They wish. Aren't too many men who are that big when flaccid, and good luck trying to pee with an erection. Sorry for the TMI, but the level MAGA has dropped us to has created this
I thought the same based on observation.
But it's a great and typical alpha male MAGA grift--play to their vanity and inflated sense of self. I'm gonna market a MAGA ruler. It will be six inches long but the markings on it will say 12 inches
😉🤣😂
Thanks for the laugh.
🤣🤣🤣
I'm pretty sure he invented a toilet that actually repels women.
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Or sitting, not standing, users. 🫣
Nope it's for saggy old man nuts ker-splash!!
🤣🤣🤣
Jeff did use the “like us” reference Kathleen… sayin’!!
Knowing that Governor Pritzker is here with us in Illinois is what is keeping me sane.
Pritzker is an excellent governor!!
Can he come to Florida for a little while??
Then Ohio?
Exactly.
Permian, Me too! I love him! He was on the very short list for Harris VP.
And I didn't want to share! :P
Being in CA is keeping me sane, although we live in aryan-ville here in Surf City—Huntington Beach. And, to our surprise, city again ranked near 50/50 in ejection. Fortunately many if not most HB denizens keep to themselves. But I’m glad we have Newsom. Not loving him a ton. But he’s done an amazing job with our economy—5th largest economy in the world (not just states—in the world).
But we won't be getting anything from the Federal government for the foreseeable future. That is worrisome.
There are some things Trump can’t just cut off. I need to look at the list again. PS. Is your comment truncated on your screen rather than a displayed “continue thread” icon? I’m finding lots of people’s comments, including mine, are stopped mid sentence.
He’s working on that.
Same here with Gov. Newsom.
THIS. IS. A. NIGHTMARE. I can barely function the dread is so strong. Thanks to all of you in tremendous community. We need each other more than ever now.
Yes we do!
Are you still considering getting the hell out of here?
Yes. I am seriously considering a very long vacation!
I am too. I might not be able to make a permanent move because of my health, but I will be moving to a Blue state. 💙
I’m considering a move out of America-investigating expat communities
Please keep me posted. Good luck!
I will-costa rica is another option-great medical care too. Hang in there! 💙
One of those four-year cruises? Sounds delightful.
Indeed. If I sold my house I could go first class.
I'm cleaning out my freezer today. Doing something useful helps me to focus.
As expected ! and its only November, just wait till January 20, 2025
1. The Onion getting the InfoWars site is hilarious. I hope Jones is crying into his snake oil supplements over this. I look forward to seeing what the new overlords do with it.
2. The Gaetz nomination is just a CYA for Gaetz so the damning report wouldn’t get published. Birds of a feather help each other out. Even many the GOP faithful find this horrifying.
It’s going to be leaked no matter what. Too many inquiring minds want to know. Including Repubs. Most truly hate the guy.
Oh, I certainly hope so. When it does it will get the full blast treatment on every site
I wonder what today will bring. Perhaps the appointment of Beetle Juice Boebert to head the Department of Education? At this point, I actually have that one on my BINGO card.
Nope, Herschel Walker already has that sewn up
Hershel will thank POTUS-Elect Donald Trump Jr. That's how he introduced turd at a recent rally.
He corrected it to Jonald J. Trump
Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms -- Boebert's forte.
Is there an office of Pud Strokers?
ATF also covers Explosives of all types
Good one.
🤣🤣🤣🤣
I've got MTG!
😩 yup—-another one who will not fit any office!!!!
Yes, I've been wondering what she would get. We shall see.
Oh God-don’t let that happen! 😮😩
What happens to the GED if the idiots abolish the DOE? Bobo would not even be a HS grad if not for the GED
Since most of Trump's crew thinks he will rule by fiat, they might consider the Department of Education to be a short-lived, dead-end job. Why give up your current gig for something that will be gone in a few months? Trump is also cutting into the ranks of Republicans in the House, and might take away the majority if he keeps stocking his cabinet with House members.
But turd can count, right? To keep the House majority, with a thin cushion for illness, etc? 🤔. I wonder if he even knows the #s of Dems/GOP in the House.
He acknowledged that yesterday. Unfortunately.
no, dept of education is to be demolished
Sounds about right
The pillow guy is two heartbeats away from something big. You know it!
He’ll probably put that tax-evading nut-job in charge of the treasury.
Gaetz and Gabbard are barely qualified to ride in the clown car and certainly not able to drive it! Trump is truly the biggest grievance collector in history. His continued FUCK YOU! to anyone not puckering up kiss his depends is of pathological proportions! The only reason I’ve maintained any semblance of sanity since the election, is that I live in Illinois! JB Pritzker is a Chicago Democrat and knows how to fight.
Like me, in Massachusetts! Thank God for Healy, Warren, and my rep. Katherine Clark 🙏
With Donald’s appointments is it any wonder we are becoming a vassal Russian state? Gaetz as AG will destroy evidence against himself on the federal level, he will destroy evidence against Donald. Oh ….on Russian TV last night they referred to Tulsi as a girlfriend/ agent of Russia.. the announcers were so fucking happy. Next up we see Poland reenforcing their borders due to the fact that Vlad has said after Ukraine they intend to move into Poland… after that conquest they intend to March into Berlin, they say this openly on national TV…..wake up people, we have seen this movie before and Donald will not assist any NATO country against Russia because of kompromat. 🤮🤮🤮. Needless to say as a 72 year old I’m just so fucking pissed and tired of MAGA and their triumphalist attitudes🤮🤮
My sentiments exactly 💯
Criminals surrounding themselves with other criminals, but only 1 has immunity.
Please remember these proposed camps for”illegal” folks to be deported doesn’t stop there, all minority communities are at risk….even US citizens 🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮
Yup. I'm scared for my family. I live in a blue state, but in the end it may not matter.
Hell, I am scared for everyone who isn't white.
I feel like I've been hit upside the head with a baseball bat.
Me too. I've had a killer migraine for over a week. It won't take much more for it to explode.
Haven't slept well since Tuesday. Going to make some applesauce muffins and a lemon risotto with asparagus - got to keep up my strength.
Yum Linda! Cooking is self care!!
I love to cook and eat, and to feed people. The lemon risotto is kind of a shortcut - baked instead of stirred until your arm feels like it's going to fall off. And it's just as creamy and tasty as the classic version. Nice made with peas too. Think I'll have it with baked salmon. If you'd like the recipe I'll post it here.
sounds great - esp the non-stirring part
Here's the recipe for baked lemon risotto:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
1-1/2 cups Arborio rice
4 cups vegetable or chicken stock, or 3-1/2 cups stock and 1/2 cup dry white wine
1/2 onion, finely chopped
1 clove garlic, minced or grated
2 tbsp butter, cubed
1/2 tsp pepper
1/3 cup grated Parmesan
2 tbsp butter
Grated zest of 1 lemon
2-3 tbsp lemon juice
Place rice, stock, onion, garlic, 2 tbsp butter, and pepper in Dutch oven or other heavy pot. Cover and bake 30-35 minutes, until stock is absorbed.
Remove from oven and stir well. Add 2 tbsp butter and Parmesan and stir well. Add lemon zest and juice and stir well.
If you like, you can add asparagus tips during the last 5-7 minutes of cooking. Peas (frozen) can be added during the last 15-20 minutes of cooking.
I reheat leftovers in my trusty electric steamer for about 20 minutes.
Enjoy!
thanks for recipe - tomorrow’s supper!
Same. I find myself trying to catch a breath 😳
Hard to "like " posts these days. Unless, it is what you write. I look forward to reading your posts everyday. Thanks so much. Did you notice that T was holding his left arm strangely, in the video with President Biden? I immediately thought "heart attack ". Hmmmm.
Til tomorrow!
Heart attack! 🥳 And then, whoopsie daisy, we hear that the next day 2 rescumliCons fall out of a window.
🤞🤞🤞 let’s hope
I wish social media would all change "like" to "read" - so many posts (esp on twitter) that I cannot "like", however meaningless the word in the context
He will be "martyred" within a year. Using the 25th takes too long.
I'll be surprised if it takes that long, arne.
Oh please oh please oh pretty please.
Running to go check out that video. Fingers, arms, legs, eyes, crossed.
Nothing to say…law breakers are in power. We need to stick together and stand up to these no-minds. Let’s hope we can 💙
RESIST! RESIST! RESIST!
And laugh regularly and heartily at this band of lowest-common-denominator- selected miscreant Jerkoffs.
We will! We fight every single thing they try to do.
So who else on here has read that a couple of days after the election, the hot Google search was: how do I change my vote?
I don’t know why, but somehow that makes it even worse. We can ever get control of the government again, we need to make a test for registering to vote. Nothing stupid like North Carolina did back in the Jim Crow days where you had to memorize all the 100 counties of North Carolina . But how about maybe some basic understanding of the separation of powers? Maybe throw in questions about important amendments and constitutional guarantees.
My head is bloody from banging it on my granite countertops .
I agree Sherri-the literacy of 54% of adult Americans is BELOW the 6th grade level! Frightening-and they want to eliminate the department of education 🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️
I read that, too, Sherri. Another top search item was, "What is a tariff?"
Too little, too late. Those doing such searches deserve what they get. The rest of us, no.
In 1980 after Reagan won, Art Buchwald ran a column "I meant to vote for Carter, but my hand wouldn't move. Is there anything I can do?"
