In America, first you get the TV show, then you get the White House, then you get the McD-induced heart attack. 🪦

Halloween at Trump’s White House

Life is short, better to say what we mean.
We hope it all ends tragically.

In Portland, when things are this charged, the answer is yes.
They are the most aggressive, most vocal, most coordinated, most engaged.
I don’t want to have anything to with them.

It kinda stings to be hit with a pay wall for this one : )

On National Coming Out Day, know that I will always be an ally to you — no matter where you are on your journey.

I know that times may be scary, but you are seen, safe, supported, and loved here in Illinois.

One step at a time.
And remember that the antifa hardcores - I’m talking the masked, black outfits, aggro tactics, etc - have their own agendas and don’t mind railroading and burning the house down in order to try and “send a message” and/or topple the entire Est order etc.
I stand by my comments.

As Trump & Minions pilfer hundreds of billions and more.
What a joke this country has become one.
The laughingstock of the Western world.
All largely preventable if the GOP had the balls to prevent Trump for entering the primaries back in 2015.
Wow - what a bunch of epic losers.

Why not speed-dating?
It’s really challenging 🤭

Jon that’s an idiotic message.
Antifa has a history of vandalism, violence, anarchism, intimidation, anti Gov, etc.
We don’t need to strike those flames.
We need unmasked, law abiding voters to get out there and protest en masse, legally, peacefully.
That’s what we need.

Knock-on effects.

As a Prog I support peaceful protests, but it’s not helping our cause to pretend that Portland protests are a nothing burger.
I’ve studied its history, and no it isn’t all “outside agitators”
It could easily be the trigger for emergency powers, if there are repeats of big vandalism, violence, etc.

“Illinois governor says we’re provoking actions that are unlawful,” Miller said on CNN. “If I put federal law enforcement and National Guard into a nice sleepy Southern town, is anyone gonna riot?”

Trump: "Portland, I mean -- every time I look at that place it's burning down. There are fires all over the place. When a store -- there are very few of them left -- but when a store owner rebuilds a store they build it out of plywood. They don't put up storefronts anymore. They just put wood up."

I like how the news will be like “while the President claiming Portland was ruled by a giant skeleton named Mr Nibbles is not strictly true, it does speak to the anxiety of many Americans”

Translation:
As bad as we are.
And as bad as things are getting.
Dems would be the end of the world.
And that ladies and gentlemen, is all it seems to take to keep Rep voters in line.

Both can be true, no?
MAGA are taking the country over a cliff.
And Dens are in disarray.

Markup vs Discount

I’m assuming they mean that the markup was let’s say 800% on a certain med, and they reduced it by 650%.
But I try not to think about what’s going on in their heads. 🫠

Are voters tiring yet of white, mediocre, octogenarian Presidents with cognitive decline?
It’s not a rhetorical question.
Bc both parties and their voters seem to feel they are “safe” and comforting.
I don’t get it, but there it is.
