Stupid Shit Trump did Today
• Put his name on the Kennedy Center
• Approved Tiny Cars to be built in US (his fat ass would never fit in one)

Trump's name added to Kennedy Center

I cannot wait till he's gone so we can tear his name off of every edifice with our bare hands.

So you're going home? Leaving this mess of health insurance. I pay $45 a month for health insurance. I'm old and sick. If my health insurance went up $1,000 a month, I die.
Thanks Congress, and I hope you all get coal in your socks.

Yeah, we're the hottest country in the world - radioactive.

If I could find an ICE office, I'd do the same. At 74, 4'11" and 95 lbs, I could still raise a ruckus. And never threaten an old white woman with a caine.

President Obama and Michelle said that they were heartbroken over Rob Reiner and his wife's death. Trump said Reiner had Trump Derangement Syndrome.

Which one should be president?

Just flabbergasted by the ignorance of that man.

Hegseth is an abject idiot. He said the definition of "the fog of war" was all the fire and smoke coming from the attack on the alleged narco-boat on Sep 2.
It is not the definition. It means the confusion and chaos in battle.
We have a dumbass Warrior in Chief.

3. Anybody that says Trump gets the turkey carcass for dinner

Have a peaceful holiday!

This is nuts. Are they not a good fit for the 'Department of War'? Scouting is one of the most character-building programs with over 100 years of DoD support.

@joycewhitevance.bsky.social You invited us to your book club to read/re-read 1984.

Now I'd like to recommend you watch a 2023 fictional film entitled, "Anniversary," starring Diane Lane.

It stunned me, and is a projection of what the US may become if things continue on the current path.

If you have not seen this movie, do it. Now.

Dear Coast Guard,
Stay off the seas in my backyard. Your bigotry is unAmerican. What makes you think that swastikas and noises are ok?

wapo.st/3Mbd9a6
U.S. Coast Guard will no longer classify swastikas, nooses as hate symbols
The military service, which falls under the Department of Homeland Security, has drafted a new policy that classifies such items “potentially divisive.”
