When "reality TV" becomes your reality, fake employees do fake tasks in fake 'teams' and then a guy shows up in full makeup for five minutes claiming to be in charge, and agrees people should be fired.

Congrats, America, you're officially the audience that paid an entrance fee to watch the show.

The last frame is inaccurate, he shamefully was on the 2025 list, in part nominated by his equally shameful pal Netanyahu.

I have a front porch with a couple of chairs on it. Neighbour's cat can't stay off. I'm taking the chairs in shortly, maybe I'll put out a box to train the cat over the winter to leave the chairs alone!

Diane Keaton was for me the woman to pay attention to at a time I needed it. Annie Hall gave me a lot to think about.

Any inflatable or other costume, really. The more cartoonist, the better. Halloween-themed can wait.

The departure point seems to coincide with tax cuts that enabled corporate stock buy-backs, which made them appear financially healthier while making the remaining stocks more expensive, without affecting earnings based on productivity.

Other markets didn't see a tax change.

Next year it will go to the Amphibian Militia, the brave souls who showed up in uniform to protest fascism and oppression in every city in America.

Rise up!

This has a definite "I know you are, but what am I" feel to it.

And your whiny-ass point is?

I would give this a like, really I would, but I retched the day she said it, and now it's Clockwork Orange'd into me. 🤮

He certainly seems to be in a race against time to trigger some event that makes it happen.

Some time in the 1st week of November is my prediction.

"...Idaho air base will "host a contingent of Qatari F-15s and pilots."

Located in Elmore County, which voted 67% for the current WH occupant.

I see an international incident the day some Idaho ICE cosplayers arrest the wrong 'immigrants'.

Cool. If she is convicted, I hope we'll see an avalanche of lawsuits against all the officials in the administration who have done the same thing.

When I saw this, I suddenly got a 'memory scent' of my mother's garden on a sunny autumn day. Thank you.

The only hurdle left to getting a pardon, and I'm sure they gave her the script weeks ago.

There's a petition for challenging the use of public funds for private schools, locate it and sign it:

Followed by the student loan version of credit default swaps?

Meanwhile, my main health issue is a concern that if I roll my eyes just one more time at something this f***wit says, I might need surgery to bring them back from the top of their sockets.

I make my own, haven't had store-bought in a long time. Cheaper, less plastic waste, less real estate camping in my fridge, and fresh every time. 🙂

I commend her for speaking up, but will she go right back to denying the validity of the files when her idol is found to be a major subject?

Does she think she can spin it with her usual gaslighting and creative interpretation of facts?

She's on the oversight committee, what does she already know?
