Canada, Mexico, the EU respond to our tariff-rattling by going to China, making us irrelevant. Maybe Donold shouldn't try to intimidate countries who have other alternatives. They don't need us, Donnie Dumbo, but we sure need them.

In light of the certainty that Trump is a Russian asset, please read Article III, section 3 of the Constitution. It defines treason. By this definition, Trump is a traitor.

Slowly trying to wean myself from Amazon. It's not easy because buying books from them is basically user-friendly. Additionally, I really don't like having my credit card number scattered all over the web. Any suggestions?

The irony - the letter from the USDA discussing it's compliance with the new directives about DEI hires has a statement at the bottom - apparently a part of the letterhead template. - "USDA is an Equal Opportunity Provider and Employer"

The Government of the United States of America - a government of the criminals, by the criminals, and for the criminals.

If Congress denies aid to California, Newsome will have problems. He'll handle them. Trump will have worse problems; the golden cash cow for the red states will be unable to pay for their welfare. This may drive the entire country into a depression that will make 1929 look like an era of prosperity.

I'm too used to the seemingly unlimited number of characters allowed in a Facebook post. The limit on post length here is killing me.

I want the flag to fly at full mast when the inauguration starts, then, when he takes the oath, I want the flag to be lowered to half-mast while someone plays taps. A twenty-one-gun salute should close the proceedings. After that his honor guard can escort him back to his jail cell.

The government wants the death penalty for Luigi Mangione. They want him tried as a terrorist. I thought terrorism was supposed to be an act against the government not a "private individual" (as a corporate CEO is supposed to be). This indicates to me that corporations are the real government.

Whatever happened to JD Vance? Is he still around?

Trump keeps telling us that he's the one in charge, he's the President. What did Tywin Lannister say? Oh, right - "If you have to tell everyone you're the king, you're no king."

Trying to figure out how to post a video of Jethro Tull's Solstice Bells here. Oh well, Happy Solstice to all.

Existential dilemma - You have five health insurance customers tied to a train track and one Health Plan CEO tied to another track. If you do nothing, five people will die. If you pull the switch, the CEO will die. What do you do?

I'm so childish. All I want to do is look at my son, who voted for Trump, and be able to say "I told you so", when Trump's shit hits his fan. Is that so bad?
