To anyone that acquired a puppy or kitten for Christmas. Please do your research on that breed and make sure that you'll be forever their home. They didn't sign up for you. You signed up for them. Commit yourself to at least 15 years or more. They are not a sweater you can return.

Had somebody complain to me about price of groceries I looked at him and said you got what you voted for so be happy he said what the hell you mean.
I told him you voted for Trump right you were warned but you voted for him anyway so pay up or put it back and go hungry I don't care!

No one thought he could win once
No one thought he could win twice
No one believed he’d get away with it
No one believed he’d be on the ballot
No one accepted the grim reality
No one accepted he’d destroy humanity
No one was prepared for this
No one is stopping it

WE are the last line of defense

100s of #CDC employees were notified Friday they were being fired — RIF'd. The firings cross multiple parts of the agency, endangering its core mission of keeping Americans safe.
Saturday, some were informed they were RIF'd in error.

Never forget that when Bondi was appointed, Democracy Docket immediately called her out while The Washington Post gave her a thumbs up.

If you value independent, pro-democracy media that won't bow down or obey, support Democracy Docket today. hubs.ly/Q03M8rql0

Per my last thread, I was arrested once. I wasn't doing anything illegal and was still serving. I knew the officer would end up in the shit, so I put my hands out and said "arrest me then". If he was going to do it, I wanted it to happen. And he STILL used the "stop resisting" crap on me.

Trump: "This will be my 8th war I've solved. And I hear there's a war now going between Pakistan & Afghanistan. I said, 'I'll have to wait until I get back. I'm doing another one.' In fairness to the Nobel committee, this was picked for 2024. But there are those who say you could make an exception"

Rick Wilson, @therickwilson.bsky.social, has a great piece on what will happen after Trump dies. Among the gem comments is this:

“History will learn about the shell companies, the overseas accounts, the backroom deals where American policy was auctioned off like a Mar-a-Lago dinner table.”
