Donald Trump replacing a black four-star general with a white three-star general as Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff is everything MAGA claims they hate about DEI: giving a less qualified person the job based on their race, not their resume.

Worst. Episode. EVER.

Well, at least it will give the old man something to do while Elon runs the country. Wanna bet Kid Rock and Hulk Hogan will be Kennedy Center honorees?

Nailed it. From the comment section of NYT article on Musk/T*** “news conference.”

The new CBS poll gives Trump a 53-47 approval rating. Highly suspicious.

More of this, America.

Another tip: Don’t follow news sources you get elsewhere. For example, I have the NYT app, so I don’t need the Times hogging my feed here.

A big middle finger “THANK YOU” to everyone who voted for Jill Stein because they wanted to “teach Kamala a lesson.” I’m sure everyone in Palestine will want to thank you personally for your support.

With mass firings looming at the FBI, I can’t help but wonder if T***p is planning to turn the bureau into his own private police force.

Trump is handing the world over to Russia, China, and Iran.

Here’s a tip: Be careful with the “starter packs,” I just unfollowed more than 100 accounts that were hogging my feed.

Want to hear something crazy? Trump‘s Department of Transportation is now giving more funding to communities with higher marriage and birth rates. It’s sort of like the Chinese government and it is creepy. This needs to be challenged in court. ca.news.yahoo.com/dot-memo-dir...

This week, China found out the price for being an undermining foe is 10%. And Canada found out that the price for being a helpful friend, who helped with California's wild fires, is 15% more. Thank you, totally incompetent Donald Trump.

But he said he was only going to be a Dictator “on day one.” One long, four year day.

Expect the worst

“Terrible things are happening outside. Poor helpless people are being dragged out of their homes. Families are torn apart. Men, women, and children are separated. Children come home from school to find that their parents have disappeared.” Diary of Anne Frank January 13, 1943

On 21 March 1933 Adolf Hitler was officially sworn in as chancellor of Germany. The same day he pardoned 8,000 Nazis, who had committed violent acts, starting with the failed Hitler coup on 8 November 1923. www.nytimes.com/2025/01/21/u...

In 1959, I was one of only five kids in Oklahoma to get polio. It was from a bad batch of vaccine. This stuff happens. It doesn’t mean vaccines are bad, just that some people are careless.

Zuckerberg's 'masculine energy' got its first big win with Trump declaring there are only two genders. This is an agenda that will see laws passed to push gays back into the closet and women back into the kitchen. Our trans siblings are in the front line of this fight, so now more than ever

Merry Christmas and Happy Hanukkah to all who celebrate!

On the 11th day of Christmas this timeline gave to me- 11 PACs extorting 10 phonies flipping 9 imposing think tanks 8 alleged offenders 7 swings a-losing 6 shady SCOTUS 5 lost senate seats 🗣️ 4 ruling foes 3 DOGE fiends 2 sadist govs & a felon for the presidency 🎶

Some cartoons aren't meant to be funny. 💔

Russian pundits give the T***p team two thumbs up. Yikes! www.alternet.org/russian-tv-h...

Just for fun, substitute “Frankenstein” for “Santa Claus” in your favorite Xmas song.

In 1959, when I was five years old, I contracted polio. It was one of only five polio cases in Oklahoma that year. All of them were caused by a bad batch of polio vaccine. So, does that mean I think the current polio vaccine should be pulled off the market? The answer is a solid no.
