Hoping to get to that place in life where I walk around aimlessly with my hands clasped behind my back, leaning forward slightly, deep in random thoughts.

Shame on you @arimelber.bsky.social @msnbc.com . I thought we were done allowing the cult members to come on and filibuster their Orwellian nonsense while you get to sit and not get a word in to fact check to the audience who may not know they're being lied to. "Mr. Wonderful" billionaire, OK.

This is the part where people realize how bad they've been getting ripped off by their financial advisors. "Why is the S&P down 3% but I'm down 5%?" Because they're bleeding you on fees on the back-end, and investing you in funds with high expenses that pay them big commissions. You lose.

Blatant disrespect for our fallen heroes. To go to a dinner and golf, no less.

It's pretty bad when the normally playful sea lions start attacking humans because of the toxic algae we've put into their environment. "Sharks, hold my beer, I got this."

I made our visit to Europe sound utopian. However, we can still have that here. It’s going to be a tough road out of Trumplandia, if we can survive it and beat it, but we can do it here too. It works, obviously! First, we have to not die in WWIII, though. billydecarlo.substack.com/p/so-you-wan...

Nobody catching the point of us massing troops at the northern and southern border - to keep people from leaving once martial law is enacted. The Jews that saw what was coming in 1930s Germany and left are the ones who survived.

Here in Rome, revisiting the history of empires, you are constantly reminded of the price of endless gluttony and thirst for more power to try to fill an empty soul. It never ends well. So many parallels to seeing our empire crumble irl.

The immense level of stupid is one thing, but knowing there are blue star parents out there like I was, with kids in uniform put in extreme danger by this stupidity and laziness, is staggering.

These pioneers have escaped, at least temporarily. It's incredible to be outside our falling empire, see the pity for us by others. Not hate, pity. We return to the fight next week, and will post our Project: Pioneer perspective. Can't say it better or with more humor, than this youtu.be/7ZSps429NWc

'All kinds of terrible things are going on': Expert red flags 'ominous' Trump threats www.rawstory.com/trump-boasbe...

If God forbid these rumored terror attacks happen on US hospitals, we have to first assess whether it's a false flag justification for the martial law he's dying for, to shut down the courts and elections, and\or rush us into another "patriotic" war like Bush did.

Hope you saw @maddow.msnbc.com reporting on this tonight.

If you're wondering why the elderly Dems didn't fight today, it's because they don't need to. They have enough wealth for their kids, grandkids, and on from decades of inside trading. They're set. Schumer had a book tour to get to.

US Federal Deficit by President What they inherited and what they did with it Source: St. Louis Fed

Since ancient dems like Schumer seem to only care about the insider trading and market manipulation benefits, what are the odds Schumer placed some long bets before abruptly doing a 180 on this CR, which shot futures into the stratosphere overnight? Out with the old, in with the new. Except Bernie!

It's pretty obvs how, by instilling this "back to the office" thing, they know it's almost always going to be the women who have to leave their job due to lack of affordable or available child care, esp with summer coming. It's a big step toward their dystopian "women in their place" initiative.

Please make a plan to get out this weekend in DC or locally - Fri, Sat, Sun and support our veterans. They're decimating critical services to vets like my disabled combat veteran son rely on to stay alive, while throwing some pennies in the new CR to gaslight you. www.newsweek.com/veterans-mar...

Trump eyeing Canada and Greenland as nice additions to the USA. More likely, because of his stupidity, USA, Canada, and Greenland become part of the new, reformed Soviet Union.

The old guard Democrat status quo is not working. They lost the working class in the Clinton years by catering to the wealthy and corporations, opening the gates (along with the dropping of the Fairness Doctrine) to the mass psyop by Rush Limbaugh and Fox to grab up that massive constituency.

Same ridiculous chaos as last time, seem familiar? Masks good, masks not good. Vaccines good, vaccines not good. We have it under control, we're all gonna die. Now we're going through it again. This is an impulsive man-child who doesn't know anything and impulses change by whomever is in his ear.

The next phase of what I call Trump/Musk Social Chemotherapy begins - killing off all those "unpleasant" disabled veterans Trump said it was bad for him to be seen with. They're cutting VA healthcare to the bone, including all the burnpit initiatives Biden established. Sick and cruel.
