If you are an elected official at any level and refuse to do the job saying “Party leaders require…” or “All I can do is complain”, or even less AND you refuse to take questions from your constituents and blame them for your unpopularity you should stop running for office and go sell shoes.

Judge rules that 1975 was 50 years ago. Based on this, the childhood/youth of Donald Trump is over. His petty grievances from the Gerald Ford era are no longer valid. Interracial marriage, acceptance of differences in hiring and housing, all are legal. Case dismissed with prejudice. (not that kind)

Trump pardoned the sentence of arguably the single biggest drug trafficker in American history on his second day in office!

You ever stop and think about what's maybe the single coolest rock and roll performance in history? You ever just stop and really think about it? www.youtube.com/watch?v=muKk...

A Trump voter now saying “I thought he would make the economy great, keep us safe” etc. is outsourcing his own ignorance. It is not Trump to blame but the voter who cannot see how foolish he is. HE WAS PRESIDENT BEFORE! A voter who cannot see his reflection in the mirror.

My dream, for sure

Trump is going to steal the gold. Why else be a “gold inspector'

Mike Pence standing against Trump. PENCE! As pusillanimous an official as Trump could find in 2016. And now Tillis and others say they are scared of Trump and his minions? They are scared of wind, of shadows. Courage is when you accept the office, take the vow. Sailors afraid of the tide.

This was just 233 days ago:

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has ordered the Pentagon to slash 8% off their budget over the next five years, WaPo reports. That would amount to tens of billions of dollars annually. Canada’s going to take them out with two Mounties and a moose.

North Carolina should open overseas offices for immigration, culture, investment. Ahead of other states.

Trump is like Ric Flair and perhaps other Wrestling characters. Once the kayfabe overwhelms his life he loses sight of self and becomes the character. No trump, no relationships, no reality, only the created character. An actor who loses the ability to drop the mask. No real person, only the fable.

Good point. Immigrants unfamiliar with nuance of party distinctions, party histories, party candidate history, take one step where they are comfortable and no further as they know they lack understanding beyond. They affiliate with the native born with Trump. Any further and they are out of depth

Charles Guiteau was disaffected office seeker refused job in US government and went rogue (bsky not happy with authentic word). History, man. His ancestors now populating the government as the door is now open. In stead of president* they gonna off somebody.

Due to the layoffs I am afraid that we have had to take over the running of the US National Parks. We are updating the park regulations but for now the most important thing people can do before visiting a national park is to marinade themselves for 12 hours in olive oil, lime juice & garlic.

Grocery shopper today with shirt with "God was a grave robber”. Honest. Is there a way to take that in a good way?

Nothing for anyone. Take, take, take, never give.

I eliminated 3 of the four from my life (as much as online choice allows) and severely reduced the other.

"If the president does it it is not illegal" Richard Milhouse Nixon *spit*

Excellent thread about science, life, hope.

No Constitution No Union

Trump may soon make an executive order that prohibits federal funds to states that allow smoking in indoor locations. His brain is frozen in 1976 so this would be appropriate.

Pierre Poilievre was cruising to the Prime Minister office in Canada. Conservative Party, anti immigration (with 30% immigrant population). Trump for the North was he. Then Trump woke Canadians and Canadiens and Mark Carney ran for Liberal leader and now Pierre is in trouble. Trump is poison.

saving this so I can read it again and again

JD Vance has a first name. It is Jowls.

This is so on target. A nearly throwaway line that encapsulates our time.
