I am a cranky grandma! Born in Boston and my first bumper sticker read “Nixon 49 America 1” and I’ve been fighting the good fight ever since.

The hallmark of dictatorship- illegally prosecuting government officials who oppose you. Now it’s NY Attorney General Letitia James who dared to challenge his deranged majesty!

This is Dr. Mary Brunkow. She just won the Nobel prize in medicine for her work on immune intolerance. She graduated from Princeton where her professors called her brilliant and bold! And who is leading US medicine? An ex-heroine addict with a worm in his brain. Smarten up, America!

My husband was an immigrant from Estonia, lived in a displaced person’s camp in Germany coming to America. He earned 2 degrees from MIT and served during Vietnam. He had many high corporate positions including CEO. He was far more intelligent and patriotic than these MAGAS.

Honestly, I have been on the Board of Directors of a nonprofit arts organization for 2 years, and there has NEVER been a political discussion at a single meeting. The closest we have come is thanking our Mayor and City Council for their support. Trump is delusional. Oh and we watch every penny!

Rep. Jamie Raskin nails it.

“It is not lost on anyone that shutting the government down allows them not to swear in our new colleague Adelita Grijalva who would be the 218th signature to discharge the Epstein files.

"So it’s convenient for them to shut the government down."

My only hope is they now know who the true enemy of America is!

How wasteful and dangerous to bring all this power to an advertised place to listen to the incoherent rant of a moron and a Fox commentator. How masterful that they showed their metal without a single grimace. They sat stone faced and dignified, aware their pledge is to the constitution!

At the time I was a school child, but in retrospect I believe he had excellent core values. Even as a top military leader, one of his cautions was a runaway military-industrial complex at the expense of more humane government services.

I totally agree!

After what he did to Hillary, I’m not a big Comey fan. However, if the former FBI Director can be indicted just for being a political foe, not one of us is safe from the wannabe King Rump!

Tonight the whole world is in awe of this man’s ignorance and arrogance!
Such an embarrassment to America.

I said this the day after the election. Harris was robbed and Rump did NOT win!

Cranky Grandma @crankygrandma.bsky.social · 26d

I have been saying this for years…

Not many Republicans think Epstein should be protected - so why aren’t they in favor of releasing the files?

And now there’s this - just $99.99 before tax! And from such an UNHOLY man, it is truly laughable!

So, gentlemen, how many times have you changed your name? I think this guy is “reinventing” himself to make his persona sound credible. You know - like a hillbilly who goes to Yale!
