An uneducated population is a manageable population. Conservatives have been trying to set themselves up as the Thought Police my entire life but it really stepped up after the “94 Gingrich Revolution” w/his & conservative media’s attack on the Clintons et al because they were losing cultural ground

Republicans on the state & national level have been attacking education since the Reagan administration, particularly critical thinking skills; a less educated population is a more controllable population.

I home the King has a “scheduling conflict” that doesn’t allow him to grant an audience. Better yet, make the entire family unavailable except maybe Prince Andrew…they have friends in common, right?

I was young and I didn’t understand how it all worked until I eventually became the payroll administrator for a reputable company. Trump’s negative SSI rhetoric sounds exactly like a bitter employer who never liked paying his half of FICA, & the world now knows how he has always cooked the books.

Oh my goodness, how adorable!!! I wish you all the fun and joy a corgi can give. Mine passed at 14 and I still miss her every day.

It would be interesting to see how accurate the Trump Organization’s FICA filing are…or likely not. It was easy to fudge when payroll was done more manually. I had an employer who held them from my check, never filed my part or their’s and then closed shop.

Still no reason for CBS to fold like a cheap card table. What would Murrow or Cronkite say?

The story of my life! Football is more boring than watching paint dry, the Superbowl is 10x so.

It’s a shame Chris Wray decided to protect his own interests rather than staying and fighting to try to prevent the FBI from turning into a later day Schutzstaffel.

I didn’t see it because I don’t have cable and Peacock doesn’t post her whole show 🤷♀️ but I do listen to her show’s podcast. I haven’t listened to it yet, otherwise I would tell you. You can jump to the end if you like: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/t...

We don’t have a grey Frannie, but we have a grey Berwick. She is not one of Frankie’s siblings, she is my son’s partner’s cat and Frankie is a little obsessed with her.

A bandanna will always do! So will getting a basket caught around your neck after you stick your face in to investigate.

We have a matching Frankie! He is a dapper gentleman who enjoys bow ties. We adopted him and his brother and sister six years ago.

And while he is distracting and pointing fingers, the fact that Novice and Juniors skaters are kids is obfuscated. The first of many kids have died because of his draconian policies and his clown car of enforcers.
