Very similar situation: Reagan was reported to have done the same thing to Jimmy Carter re the Iran hostages. Reagan won the election on November 4, 1980, in a landslide win against Jimmy Carter. Hostages were released on Jan 20, 1981, almost immediately after Reagan was inaugurated.

So Qatar is signing “for”Hamas? Political leaders of Hamas are still living in Qatar and Hamas is still the government of Gaza right?
But the US signed - why?

Did anyone pick both Falcons and Bears? Not the cover, just the straight up win? I guess some did. I had Bears, not Falcons. Weeks 6 and 7 can be tricky.

People have already started to shop at Winn Dixie in Florida, where open carry is still banned by Winn Dixie.
And, if they fill their prescriptions at Publix, transfer them to another pharmacy.

Looked like he trapped it, on the grass field.

It’s bad enough that he found ways to reroute or cancel funds that Congress already appropriated. And SCOTUS won’t stop him. He can rip away the power of the purse. Partly.
What else ? Well, he could raise taxes on US - ignore Congress, declare another national emergency; plus IRS is Exec. Branch.

Slander. And Eric is a private citizen, no immunity.

So the billionaires are freaking out because the billionaires will leave?
So just don’t leave.
We know you won’t anyway.

I have an emergency whistle - as an SOS.
On my keychain. Could also be around my neck or in a pocket.

Really horrid loud noise, which is the point.

Democrats in Congress should name the states in Q&As with press and interviews and posts on social media.
And, say WHY: The federal govt is doing - X - and states don't want to, or don't have the funds to do - X - because of - X -. But, explain distinction between Medicaid and ACA subsidies.

Politicking. The same "everything is a disaster" mantra that got Trump into the White House, twice.

Doesn't matter if some of what she says is right. Does she fault Trump? No. She's playing for attention, and future votes, for her -- to the same anger and fear crowd that Trump did/does.

Yup, she looks all prepared for being in a hellscape.
Like where she might get shot at, or be a bomb target, or get hit in the head with something, or have to run fast to escape an attack.

That would be a bigger problem for him, as not-the-speaker-anymore, than for Trump.

Even if she did know the difference - do you have to notify the lender if you change your mind and don't use a property as a second residence, and you end up never spending any days there (and perhaps rent it out)?
An intention or a plan is not a legal obligation.
Did she breach a contract?

Did OMB furlough all the DOJ law clerks and paralegals - you know, the people who have to teach the inexperienced unqualified lawyers how to do law?

So does that mean that RFK is not circumcised? Good to know 🤮

He would last 1/8 of a second at The Apollo.

Ok. 6:30 pm on a Friday

Time to “wash that man right out of my hair”…

And then watch sports. WNBA finals especially.

No clue why but my grandmother sang that song to me all the time. And she was happily married. So, it’s a good song for the man on TV and social media who never shuts up.

He does believe all of that. And that’s what results from pathological lying.

Susan From Boston @susanboston.bsky.social · 3d

He cannot hear; he has hearing loss. Which also means that he has trouble hearing his own voice. And can cause dementia.
Just my theory.
Doesn’t mean he is any less horrible.

I’m guessing that there will eventually be a Trump Tower in at least 1/2 the countries that do not extradite to the U.S.

Susan From Boston @susanboston.bsky.social · 3d

Now he will sue them.

Yup, Exhibit for at least 2 motions to dismiss.

My capacity for hate has become unlimited.

Susan From Boston @susanboston.bsky.social · 3d

She will rue the day she said this. I do understand why politically, but lie down with dogs…..,
