My Democratic Congressman is about as useless as a screen door on a submarine. #BobbyScott #VirginiaDistrict3

Wawel Cathedral in KrakΓ³w, Poland is nearly 1,000 years old. A Polish national heritage site, it's the finest example of Italian Renaissance architecture outside southern Europe. It was a gorgeous day when I took this πŸ“Έ in May, 2018 #AmateurPhotography #Poland #EuropeanHistory

My sister and brother-in-law got their Panamanian permanent resident visas and enrolled in a total immersion Spanish language course. They are never coming back.

Today is my birthday. Please put some thought into my birthday gift, last year was a big disappointment.

I have a teachers retirement account I use to supplement my social security income. Without it, I'm screwed. During the Biden years, I averaged 20% gains. The account has lost money since Trump took office. I'm really worried.

In 1942, the German Reichstag gave Hitler sole authority to remove from office & punish any judge, lawyer, or civil servant who "failed to do their duty." The last shreds of the German Constitution were gone. Adolf Hitler was the law now. This is exactly what Trump wants Republicans to do for him.

HEY JD, clothing manufacturers also make suits for adult men, not just for young boys. Also, your tie is too short, it has to drag on the floor. You're welcome. πŸ™„

Hello 911? I'd like report a murder. πŸ”₯πŸ”₯πŸ”₯πŸ”₯πŸ”₯

My parents and older sister are dead. My other sibling fled to Panama. I've been orphaned in Nazi occupied America.

Good Morning. It's a bone chilling 14⁰F with a foot of snow on the ground. πŸ₯Ά

This man-child has the maturity level of a 10 year old, with apologies to 10 year olds...

I love that people are calling Teslas 'Swasticars' πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚

Norfolk, Virginia breaks top 10 for most snowfall in one day. www.13newsnow.com/video/weathe...

An educated and informed U.S. citizen is a Republican politician's worst nightmare...

No Shit...

I've been shoveling snow while the neighbor talked to me about football and I pretended to know what he was talking about. I feel so damn butch...and cold.

This is why I no longer go to the gym. It's embarrassing.

Glinda said to click my heels 3 times and she would send me home but the bitch sent me to Canada instead. #RubySlippers #snow

Our closest allies are turning their backs on us, putting our national security at risk and opening up opportunities for another 9-11 terrorist attack. I hope and pray we don't get to the "find out" stage. πŸ™

19,000 Ukrainian children have been abducted and taken to Russia, assigned Russian citizenship, and forcibly adopted into Russian families. Mr. Putin, Ukraine wants their children back. #WarCrimes

We will top out at just under a foot of snow, which is in the top 10 for coastal Virginia. We don't get much snow because of the ocean influence. This was a big snowstorm. Norfolk doesn't have much of a snow removal budget. Only the major streets get plowed. We must rely on the solar method. πŸ˜‚

Look, I know you're not used to snow but if you go the bottom of the steps and pee then run back in, there's a cookie waiting for you. ready? GO! lol

The IRS website won't let me log in to pay my income taxes so I guess I don't have to pay. Thanks Elon! πŸ‘πŸΌ

Good one πŸ˜‚

Every Republican president since Dwight Eisenhower is spinning in their graves right about now... #Ukraine

Classic winter nor'easter. Moisture pulled north from the Gulf of MEXICO clashes with cold air. The only difference is the northeasterly direction. Coastal Virginia gets a blizzard with a foot of snow while points north are spared.

Great Britain and Germany agree to explore mutual opportunities to hand over Czechoslovakia to the Nazis. #PeaceInOurTime

Social Security was created by Franklin Roosevelt in 1935 to provide pensions to senior citizens. It remains extremely popular 90 years later. Often called the "third rail of American politics," touch it and you die. So go ahead Elon, I dare you.

The university announced they're shutting down the next 2 days because of the blizzard in the middle of class...I knew then I lost them. I said "fuck it, see ya next week." πŸ˜‰

This is what we're facing in Norfolk and Virginia Beach tomorrow into Thursday. The region simply cannot handle this much snow. -check on your neighbors, especially elderly folks to make sure they have heat. -STAY OFF THE DAMN ROADS youtu.be/kBpwYMuW4U8?...

Yes, I am watching this, and yes, I'm enjoying it immensely...
