Don’t underestimate how Donald being pissed at the military for humiliating him with its shabby military parade is factoring into his current talk of putting them in harm’s way. He *is* that petulant.

What I did not expect to happen was for "One of Them Days" to be funny. I just didn't see Keke Palmer and SZA in a comedy duo. The "Hot Ones" episode was so entertaining that I finally gave the movie a chance. I really Iiked it. Never seen somebody get jumped and still win. 😂 #Blacksky

I was finally able to see "Beetlejuice Beetlejuice" and expected to love it. I have seen the first one a zillion times and still know the table choreography. Laaaaawd, this movie is bad. I got through 45 minutes and called it a day.

🤦‍♀️ Drake has been silent on Trump since 2017, but he finally speaks up about a politician who went to a Kendrick Lamar and SZA concert?! All that lashing out that Trump did at Canada and Drake is silent, but a concert? That's the sin? Sigh. globalnews.ca/news/1124371... #blacksky

I can already tell this "Pretty Girls" song from Will Smith is about to be stuck in my head like "Switch" was. That song was so underrated. youtube.com/watch?v=NMeI... #blacksky

Trump declares war on cities “We must expand efforts to detain & deport Illegal Aliens in America’s largest Cities, such as LA, Chicago, & NY, where Millions of Illegal Aliens reside. These, & other Cities, are core of the Dem Power Center, where they use Illegal Aliens to expand their Voter Base”

The cowardice of the Congressional GOP to not put guardrails on the lunatic in the Oval Office - as they are required to by oath - is overwhelming at times.

We won’t amplify it, but the president posting that Dems are “sick of mind” and “hate our country” immediately after 2 Dem lawmakers and their spouses were shot in their homes is the opposite of leadership. Gas on the fire.

Are we supposed to trust law enforcement officers who wear masks after an assassin impersonated a law enforcement officer while wearing a mask?

Remarkable. MSNC: "I want to reiterate this has been 100% peaceful." Seconds later, LA County sheriffs start firing on the crowd. Yet again, "law enforcement" deliberately escalated.

Along with #FlagDay being my grandfather's birthday, I 💯 approve referring to today as #ObamaAppreciationDay.

Having been deployed to Los Angeles by President Donald Trump in order to quell protests against ICE, U.S. Marines detained their first civilian on Friday: an Army veteran on his way to the Department of Veterans Affairs.
