The day ain't over, but as of 1:30 Thursday the 13th, the DJIA is down almost 9% & the NASDAQ 13.4% in the last month. Notwithstanding a very few individuals, who exactly is this good for? Hey GOP, and those centrist/independent/Democrats who voted for Trump: how's your retirement looking today?

I'm not gonna say he wants YOU dead but I will say he doesn't give a shit if you live or die. share.newsbreak.com/c0tep8nq

My 401K should now be referred to as a 203F. All in the past six weeks. Thanks, Mr. President.

If you're wondering who's doing what to combat the Criminal-in-Chief, take heart and read this: www.justsecurity.org/107087/track...

Disturbed by “centrist” media (however they lean, but overall centrist, not FOX or MSNBC) using terms like misleading, needs context, exaggerated, instead of lies. Lies are lies; Trump told lie after lie last night. Objectivity doesn’t mean playing to both sides; it means calling a lie a lie.

Omigod the country’s become a fuckin’ game show 😞

Waitaminnit, waitaminnit…am I actually witnessing Democrats growing a pair?

According to U.S. Customs and Border Protection, less than 1 per cent of the fentanyl and illegal crossings into the United States come from Canada.

Trump has every GOP official sucking him off while he’s busy sucking off Putin.

Thanks Prime Minister Starmer for doing what must be done when Trump would not. Should Ukraine win this war, we may have lost a friend. Should Russia, well, they weren't our friends before and won't be after.

Breaking news: Trump renaming the Great Lakes to Mini-Golf of America.

A lovely day made me think "Only 3 weeks until spring!" Comforting, but in context of the state of the world, & even worse our country, largely (but not entirely) caused by us & our criminal in chief, I wonder: Remember the Arab Spring? How much longer before we unleash the American Spring?

6) Vaccinate your kids. Remember you’re not just protecting them, you’re helping prevent the spread of this disease. And don’t forget to vote against these callous politicians empowering and blindly following these ass hats. They all care about their own power more than the safety of your family.

5)This WILL get worse before it gets better. Not pandemic levels as so many are already vaccinated, but in pockets of the country where vaccines are looked down upon, there may be much sickness and loss as people cling to their political religion and culture instead of safeguarding their children.

4) This is not Making America Healthy Again. It's plainly a cultural issue; we can no longer separate culture from politics in this country. When this administration, starts rolling back vaccines & questions their safety, they have blood on their hands. This WILL get worse before it gets better.

3) This disease was considered eradicated back in 2000, with an estimated 90+% of children vaccinated. There are now about 80% vaccinated today, well below what is necessary in order to prevent the spread of this disease, which is more communicable than either COVID or the Flu.

2) Over 100 of the Texas cases are minors, meaning the choice of vaccination was not theirs but their parents/guardians…and it was just reported that the first measles related death has occurred. This disease was considered eradicated in 2000, with an estimated 90+% of children vaccinated.

1) 124 cases of measles in Texas alone, with more reported over 11 states, with an outbreak in five (3 or more cases). ALL BUT FIVE of the Texans were unvaccinated people. The vaccine has a 97% efficacy rate, so this corresponds quite well considering the numbers involved.

This.

Did you know states are not legally required to work with ICE? Most do anyway. Huh. #TheMoreYouKnow

Tulsi Gabbard now DNI. Only McConnell voted against, & only because he hates Trump. We can only hope between her, Hegseth, & the soon to be confirmed Kennedy, we face no national security issues involving either other countries or health/environment…sadly, unlikely. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/12/u...

Even if you buy into “This is what the American people want” (I don’t), it doesn’t matter! That’s the whole reason we have a representative democracy! If you truly believe he’s doing what we want, you also must believe in one person one vote and getting rid of the electoral college.

Amy Klobuchar should be hosting SNL on the merits of this 2-in-1 joke alone: "What's the difference between Greenland and Donald Trump? Greenland is not for sale. Ok, for any Trump Administration person who wants to throw eggs at me for that joke... you can't, they're too expensive".

Submitted for your approval: So tired of politicians going along with what they know is wrong because of the threat and their fear of being primaried. They’re SUPPOSED to be primaried!

Always beware the man who would be king. Until now, it’s been Trump. He effectively has been anointed so by the hyper partisan SCOTUS and feckless, hypocritical Congress. Which means now that he IS the de facto king, the people to watch are those closest to him.

It suddenly dawned on me: Trump is Simon Bar Sinister.

It starts. www.yahoo.com/news/defense...

The whole world is already suffering for the stupidity and selfishness of the American voter. But hey, your eggs are cheaper. Oh wait, they’re not. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/01/h...

Each day is a step too far...but this is a massive leap. How much more can we take before my worst fears are realized? Either a Nazi and/or Apartheid like regime, or a bloody revolution. Yet, I hang on. And I am unsure if that's a good thing or a bad thing. www.cbsnews.com/news/pentago...

TONIGHT! AT Pino’s in Highland Park! A terrific lineup - The Just Cause, likely an acoustic trio this evening (but who can tell? That’s how we roll), starts at 8:30, sandwiched between two great rocking bands. The fun starts at 7:30 with End Of Sin - please join us!

Disgusting. Anything good happening post Nov 5th was because Trump is so great & in anticipation of his 2nd term; anything shitty that happens after his inauguration is Biden's fault. Mr. Trump: You are a criminal, & you can't change that. www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddo...

This is very bad, as in dangerous. The institutional dumbing down of America, thanks to the dumbest American of all, our Criminal-in-Chief (then again, he didn't elect himself): share.newsbreak.com/b7doeek1

Happy Year of the Snake! Kung Hei Fat Choy!

Channeling Jim Acosta, though in truth I have been saying this myself: I will not give in to the lies. I will not give in to the fear. It's good advice...not just now, but always.

I have said before & will say again: "Convenience" or "service" charges when paying online are bullshit & should be illegal. And before anyone says it costs money to take online payments, not as much as it saves in fewer employees, or else they wouldn't offer it as an option.
