IMPEACH!

Gotta love Sarah

Every paycheck since my very first one at the age of 15 had dollars taken out for Social Security. I had no choice in the matter. Today I am primarily dependent on my Social Security check for basic living expenses. Do not fuck with that!

Here’s today’s relaxing diversion from the news…

Ass-hat & sofa humper will now have the blood of thousands of innocents on their hands. 😞🤬

Some thoughts on navigating today’s world with family and friends. Too big for here so linked to substack:

Booo Bezos! Booooo!

Federal workers choose public service to serve our people, but the Trump administration wants to traumatize them. We need cancer researchers, forest service firefighters, nuclear safety experts, VA nurses and food safety inspectors. We don’t need Elon Musk, whatever his job is.

A good read

A small group of protesters hung an inverted American flag — historically used as a sign of distress in Yosemite National Park — on Saturday. The protest came just over a week after the Trump administration abruptly fired at least 1,000 National Park Service employees. nyti.ms/4ka2zwF

1971 redux…

PLEASE: Watch what happened in Coeur d'Alene Idaho today. This is fascism. Unmarked cops. 1A violations. RESIST.

When we have 2 million service men and women willing to risk their lives for this country… Why in the hell can’t we find four goddamn Republicans willing to risk their political careers to stop this insanity! WHY?

I have long believed that not enough has been written about how GOP members have felt physically intimidated by Trump supporters. It doesn’t excuse their cowardice, but it still deserves more attention.

Haven’t been on Facebook or other social media for over 10 years! Only thing I miss is people posting pictures of stuff they’re about to consume… Said nobody ever :-)

Just remember… i before e, except in Budweiser!

If you can watch this music video by Playing for Change without at least tapping your foot or moving some part of your body, then there’s something wrong with you. (Oh, and the lyrics just may move you too)

Decaf coffee? Nonalcoholic beer? I don’t get it. Be like taking a shower in a raincoat… #justsayin…

In lieu of today’s “…relaxing diversion from the news,” here’s one way I found to help cope: get a Ukulele! They’re dirt cheap, small, and easy to play… with lots of how to videos on youtube. And regardless of your musical ability, they’re way fun to noodle around on and pick out some melodies.

Question for @stephencolbert.bsky.social Of what strain doth thou partake when composing the intro to “Meanwhile” segments? Also, indica or sativa? Thx in advance!

Yet another relaxing diversion from today’s news…

The start of week three:

Remember?

Just listen to the words

True in 2007. True today.

Yet another refreshing diversion from today’s news…

I pledge Allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the Republic for which it stands, one nation under God, indivisible, with Liberty and Justice for all.

Another refreshing diversion from today’s news… 😉

After watching this video, you will never look at a simple bag of lettuce the same way again. The average workday for an undocumented immigrant is 10-12 hours, and many get paid below minimum wage because their employers know they are afraid of being deported. How many Americans want this job?
