Maybe if he eased up on rage posting in the middle of the night he might stay awake during cabinet meetings.

“Have Yourself A Merriam Little Christmas”
Merriam, a career-oriented lexicographer from the city, returns to her small town for the holidays and meets Webster, a ruggedly handsome librarian, who shows her the true DEFINITION of Christmas.

One of the most common replies in any discussion of universal basic income is "but how do we pay for it?" and not once do those same people ever question the costs incurred by not doing UBI. We spend $1.5 trillion every year on the costs of child poverty alone. Poverty ain't free, folks. WE ALL PAY.

It’s true that Trump is weak. Unfortunately the press who cover him are weaker.

It occurred to me last night that maybe the reason Conservatives don't like social programs supporting kids, like school breakfast or dental care, is because hungry kids with cavities grow up to be angry adults and that's the entire Conservative base.

I just find it hilarious that his whole cabinet is sloberring praise all over him with ridiculous hyperbole and he is falling asleep while they're doing it.
You couldn't write comedy better than this. It's better than VEEP.

If the so-called President of the United States ALWAYS SAYS, "I didn't know that happened."
Take him at his word.
He NEVER knows what's going on. So, he obviously can't do his job.
IMPEACH HIM.

He can't stay awake. Or walk. Or speak. I'm so sick of the GOP denial. The embarrassing flattery parades. The complicit press standing silent while he drones on incomprehensibly or insults colleagues who dare to question his lies. Or laughing obligatorily at his non-jokes. I'm just so tired of it.

Women aren’t just refusing to “shut up” — we’re dismantling the whole playbook. Misogyny is the regime’s spine, and women organizing in huge numbers is how democracies survive. From DC to Tennessee, we’re feeding neighbors, flipping districts, and breaking their script. Hell no.
