This song is probably my favorite from “Songs for the Socially Distant” release. It’s crazy to think we’re approaching it’s 5 year anniversary. Enjoy!

Other than congestive heart failure, cankles, drooping face, obesity, cognitive decline, slurring speech, lethargy, frequent 5 Day MIAs...

Trump's second checkup describes "exceptional health"

The results revealed little new info about the 79-year-old's health.

And is the most physically fit POTUS to ever have served…according to the narcissistic, lying sociopath himself.

Every time he shows up in public. I think one would be hard pressed to find a hockey fan who likes him.

I’m sure my insomnia has nothing to do with the utter chaos in this country.

Now would be a good time to release the #EpsteinFiles, no?

Trump just threatened to impose severe, unprecedented tariffs on Chinese imports. He won’t negotiate with Xi at the upcoming APEC summit, choosing to sink the global economy. The Dow is already down 300 points. This will devastate American small businesses and cause your expenses to skyrocket.

G Caldwell @gcal.bsky.social · 1d

tRump doesn’t understand economics, let alone a complex global economy. There is likely nothing the US has that China can’t get elsewhere beyond being a large consumer market for them.

China can get by without the US, but likely not so much the other way around.

Yeah, I wonder how tolerant the neo-Nazis up there will be having all of those “middle easterners” running around in the streets of their lilly-white neighborhoods. 🤣

G Caldwell @gcal.bsky.social · 1d

This is all part of the overall plan. Launch a digital currency. Get “elected”, dismantle all oversight agencies and government ability to operate. Destabilize the American economy, and by extension the world economy. Expect a push to abandon the US $ and move to his crypto.

It’s all a power grab.

This has to be the first time in recorded history that this neanderthal has ever made fucking sense.

Greene on the Epstein files: "I can't conclusively say that's why the House isn't in session, but the House should be in session...there is a new Democrat that's been elected that deserves to be sworn in...if it's to avoid the discharge petition, why drag this out? It's going to have 218 signatures"

It made sense, but it’s still a neanderthal.

Also not surprising is the sudden shift in position in support of extending ACA credits now that her little neanderthals have to pay for their own health insurance.

Got it. I hope they all enjoy their Nuremberg moments as much as I will.

Mikey likes to avoid answering questions by saying things aren’t in his lane, and also telling others to stay in theirs when they do or say things he doesn’t like.

Maybe Mikey needs to adhere to his own words.

I'll say it again, every Dem should be running their campaigns like Zohran. Stop walking on eggshells. The MAGAts will never vote for you. Stop placating them.

Zohran Kwame Mamdani @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social · 1d

Trump can't deliver the lower costs he promised. All he has is cruelty and revenge.

Cuomo is unable to confront him because they share the same billionaire donors. Just look at his statement last night.

I will stand up for this city and with our Attorney General.

Wait. If tariffs have brought in trillions of $$ as dear leader has asserted, then why does the government have a 1.8 trillion dollar deficit?

The math isn’t mathing.

CBO reports $1.8 trillion federal deficit as debt costs hit record $1 trillion

The Congressional Budget Office reported a $1.8 trillion federal deficit for fiscal year 2025, driven in part by a record $1 trillion interest costs from servicing the national debt.

Q: Why does Qatar need to stage its military in the US? What defensive purpose does it serve for them?

A: It’s not for Qatar’s defense. It’s in case the USAF leadership refuses to use its assets against traditional US Allies.

Every single Congressional member should oppose this.

Marjorie – I call bullshit. Your votes put us here, and you own it. Now that your daughter is affected, you’re suddenly concerned. Not good enough.

You’ve been hearing from your constituents all along. You never listened until it hit your own house.

I have no sympathy for Greene’s children, or Greene. This is what they’ve pushed for ever since ACA was made law.

Now that the consequences are impacting them? The suddenly care about affordable - if one can even call it that - health insurance.

G Caldwell @gcal.bsky.social · 2d

I don’t believe simply sending a letter gets this done. Wouldn’t it need to be accompanied by a subpoena for those records?
