Bag Lady; bags in my car, bags under my eyes and bags where my ass used to be. I bring my own. If I've put a smile on your face then I am worth the space I take up. BTW I'd rather be old than dead.

the worst president and most criminal person in our world today isn't having a good day; he is struggling. travel is hard. i get it.
There are truly no words indicating how bad he is to describe this person. Execrable comes closest, beginning in the 14th century, execrable has meant "deserving or fit to be execrated," the reference being to things so abominable as to be worthy of formal denouncement (such as "execrable crimes").

Wow. MAGA is REALLY REALLY triggered by my feelings about the unnecessary & jarring White House desecration for Trump’s gilded vanity project. I wonder why? 🧐

Two big opposing rallies in Hungary today.

Orban’s pro-Russia one got fewer than 30k.

His rival Peter Magyar got more than 200K.

I wrote that Trump's destruction of the East Wing was to build a palace for him to be a king.

The Washington Post editorial board wrote that Trump is "pursuing a reasonable idea."

This isn't national leadership. This is a tantrum of wounded and bitter men. Its simply division, cynicism and a civil war in slow motion. This administration is willfully and with every action destroying a union of states that is our republic.
I'm starting to think maybe we shouldn't have voted this guy in as President of Earth
Furious and furiouser. Where do these people come from? They will be the death of all of us.
TY millions (wish I had $'s)for Marc Elias and @democracydocket.com. Of course the DOJ can't be trusted anymore. I lost faith right after the "immunity decision" came down & realized the Supreme Court had been fully captured by Leonard Leo & co. So many shouted so many warnings.
Not to give up hope.
📽️VIDEO: Trump has transformed the DOJ into a weapon against his political opponents — and too many legal experts are falling into a dangerous trap by pretending it’s still a normal institution. Marc Elias explains why the department can’t be trusted anymore.

I haven’t seen anyone talk about how Jane Doe - an Epstein survivor - just sued the Bank of New York Mellon for funding Epstein and failing to file a Suspicious Activity Report. A Mellon heir is the one who gave $130M to pay the troops. Seems bribey to me.

Holsey’s complaints led to a tense meeting with Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, officials said, after which the 37-year Navy veteran announced that he planned to leave his post next month, less than a year into what was supposed to be a three-year tenure.

He is my Senator, looks like I ought to call on Monday.
I do think their intention is to keep the Shutdown for a really insanely long time...perhaps this is the next step of the chokehold to capture the entire US Government? Hope NOT!
They don’t even pretend to care. This is the only story. You can’t open the government if the House refuses to show up.
