I'm having trouble finding the middle ground between breathing and enjoying being alive, and wanting to scream my lungs out while watching my country die of self-inflicted utter stupidity.

Autism didn’t make them do it. Mental illness didn’t, either. This personal piece from The Big Picture cuts through the excuses and names the real issue: some people are just hateful, and we need to stop giving them cover.

Imagine that. Is there any doubt in anyone’s mind they were tipped off? They are laughing at us all. www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

The credibility of the US government is completely shot. Gone. Annihilated. Nobody anywhere in the world can believe a single word that comes out of this Administration. Ever.

The WP headline "Breaking News: Stock markets rally, closing with big gains after Trump pauses most tariffs" Anyone surprised? Prices crashed, people protested, his greedy, rich buddies bought it all up cheap, so it was time to pause the very tariffs that caused it all. All part of their plan.

One of the benefits of going to see the grandkids for a weekend is that all they watch on TV is kids stuff. No news of any kind. It's very peaceful...

We have a bought & paid for corrupt Supreme Court that no longer applies the Constitution to its rulings. We are no longer a democracy. Enjoy!

ICE isn't "deporting" immigrants, it is kidnapping them. DOGE isn't "fixing" the government, it is dismantling it. Trump isn't "helping" Americans, he is retaliating against them. Pam Bondi isn't "upholding" the Constitution, she is ignoring it.

"Even the singular act of holding a sign in opposition to the president sends a message. It says that, as a citizen, I am concerned and demand to be heard. It says I have the right to stand outside on a raw, lousy day and express my opposition..." www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202...

Dear World, I’m an American. I apologize to you all that we put a thoroughly bad, cruel, ignorant madman back in the White House. Many, many Americans apologize. Don’t appease him, don’t coddle him. Stand up to him & punch back at his stupidity. Best, An Anti-Trump American

Reckless cruelty isn’t strength. Capitulation isn’t courage. Cultish allegiance isn’t patriotism. We used to know the difference.

DOGE Oversight Subcommittee held a hearing on reducing federal property. All they said was “fire sale” this, “fire sale” that. Meanwhile, they’re lighting all of this s**t on fire — while their incompetent leader wastes millions of taxpayer dollars golfing, all while steering us towards a recession.
