Middle Age is the understanding that Friday night is the weekend and could be utilized for fun activities outside of the home but realizing that you’ve worked all week and are exhausted so the reality is take out and Game of Thrones reruns are all you can muster.

The Trump administration is offering $60K in student loan forgiveness as a recruitment tool for ICE, which just proves fighting Biden on student loan relief was never about the loans or “paying your own debt.” It was about who was offering it and who it would’ve helped.

If ANY other president had been caught DMing directives for the Attorney General to indict his political enemies it would have been game over.
Impeached. Removed.

But not Trump.
With Donald Trump, it’s just another fucking day ending in Y.

I did an overnight at my sister’s with her 3 children and I cannot figure out how to use the coffee maker or find the filters.
I have resorted to door dashing Starbucks. This is not my finest hour.
They did wake me up at 11, 1:30, 3, and finally 5:30.
