It will be an interesting city council meeting when the locals hear the permit request for the new halal butcher and food purveyor.

#BlueSkyVets The arrival of Qatari nationals, will present cultural nuances, communication styles, & differing societal norms.

ICE are guys that were too chicken to join the military and fight in Iraq/Afghanistan and cosplay their fantasy of being a man by terrorizing innocent people and children.

CBS reporter Edward R. Murrow embodied what a journalist should be: someone who holds power to account instead of capitulating to it.

Over 70 years later, his segment denouncing Joe McCarthy’s congressional witch hunts rings truer than ever.

MAGAts feeling good:

“Families around the country are already seeing the impacts, and it’s about to get a whole lot worse,” MAGA Senate Leader John Thune said Friday. “The American people are going to feel a lot more pain and miss a lot more paychecks in the near future.”

All FEMA frontline facilities are fully stocked with rolls of paper towel for tRump to throw at the storms’ victims.

Potential crisis averted.

The Trump/MAGAt idiocy knows no bounds. It keeps metastasizing and growing.

“The government” shuts down a proposed solar power plant large enough to supply two million homes, for vengeance and out of spite.
