Re: Tariffs Am contemplating finding a country hermit-cabin to hole up in until it all blows over. How little can I get by with? (More than wondering how many of you feel the same way. Was that part of the plan? … I think not ….that one’s for the “Unintended Consequences” file.)

Dear President Trump: Maybe take some time to appoint an FAA chief instead of signing so many EOs in 2 short weeks? Also there are other presidential-type jobs that you might do. You have 4 years. Maybe prioritize safety for US citizens over satisfying an urge to make your enemies pay?

Dr. Pres. Trump: It is not YOUR money. It is OUR money. WE earned and gave it to the government. We empowered OUR elected representatives to manage it, and they've exercised their Constitutional mandate by doing so. Now exercise YOUR Constitutional mandate by doing what they've told you to do. .

Imagine going to church and that Sunday your evil plans are the actual and explicit subject of this week’s church sermon. Don’t you look in the mirror at some point and ask yourself, “How horrible AM I, really?”

Trump signed an EO today telling all gov't offices to start work to lower the prices. Concept of a Plan, anyone? Who thinks Biden WASN'T doing this?

Anybody else out there an Asimov "Foundation" fan who thinks "Mule" when they see Elon Musk?

It is my fervent desire that all of the English/literature teachers, the history teachers, the science teachers and, yes, even the math teachers, use examples of pre-vax plagues to teach all their subjects until this anti-vax insanity is stamped down into the hell it belongs to.

ON CLASS WARS AND COMMON GROUND …. No matter your social standing - or even if you think the death of Brian Thompson was a tragedy - you totally get the Schadenfreude. Right, left and center - we’re all being screwed by the Health Insurance Companies and we all know it together.

— You read this: “Speaking from the Amazon rainforest, Pres. Joe Biden declared Sunday that there’s no going back in America’s “clean energy revolution” even as the incoming Trump admin vows to spur fossil fuel production and scale back efforts against climate change.” And you have yr doubts 1/2

GAETZ IS OUT!!!

Looking through a clothes catalogue. All the clothes were labeled, “imported.” Somebody also reminded me this morning that coffee is an import. We have so much to look forward to, due to Great White Leader. Can’t you just until the Musk “hardships” kick in?
