Trump is singlehandedly weakening the US position in the world more than any other figure in our history and his cult of supporters would hate this if they understood it. But they are too dumb to get it.
Well, happy birthday to me. lol. I wonder once he no longer has that badge & entourage, how long it'll be before someone finds him in a parking lot and tests to see whether he still thinks he's a tough guy?
BREAKING Greg Bovino has been removed as Border Patrol "commander at large" and will return to El Centro Calif, where he is expected to retire soon. A stunning turnaround after Pretti killing. Bovino's traveling blue city crackdown is over www.theatlantic.com/politics/202...

Here's a nice little write up about my #car that was published yesterday. Mine's a 2018 Lusso Red Top Edition. Fiat only sold about 15k of them over 4 years here before they were discontinued.

Any #senator could grind the senate to halt by doing three things:
Refuse unanimous consent on anything.
Ask that all bills be read in their entirety.
Ask that all votes are roll call votes.
None of them are doing any of that. They may get a superficial win on #ICE funding, but they'll cave later.

The temperature dropped 20 degrees in a little over 90 minutes. My windows covered over with condensation. Cinnamon keeps jumping up on the windowsill, trying to figure out why the window is like that, and then jumping down. She's done this half a dozen times in the last few minutes.

This is courage. Looking a masked, government fascist dead in the eye, face to face, knowing full well that your life is on the line.

If elected officials had 1/10th of Alex Pretti's resolve, we would have far fewer troubles.

When the temps get cool and I have to walk to an errand somewhere down Magazine street a ways, I find myself wanting to have a sweatshirt made that says "Don't you have sidewalks where you live?". Why do groups of 8 or 10 just stop & loiter in the middle of the sidewalk and not move aside? #nolasky

Four shots of Onion for #caturday. He is obsessed with my senior #dachshund. He's too big to sleep on top of him now, but often sleeps up against him like this.

Forgive me for sharing something from The Bulwark, but this is dead on. Except it wasn't the price of eggs. That's what people were willing to say out loud. It was misogyny and racism against Kamala Harris.

Putinism abroad always morphs into Putinism at home. And we chose this path. Why? Because something-something the price of eggs.

Sometimes, I truly wonder what it must be like to live with no historical knowledge of how your country operates in the world, especially if you're a professional pundit. Is everything a fresh, new surprise when it hits the headlines? Are you shocked (shocked!) your country would act this way?
If you don't have at the barest of minimums, something like this in your personal list of books you've read, you maybe shouldn't be commenting on what the US has or hasn't done in Latin America. Venezuela was where we first gave The Monroe Doctrine teeth with another world power.
