Vintage Hippie. Helped organize to end Vietnam War using mimeographs (look it up), paper road maps, and bags of change for phone booths (look it up). What we're doing now? Piece of cake by comparison. BTW courage IS contagious. Corruption need not be.

Trump's Department of Justice serves three purposes:
Declare that whatever Trump wants to do is legal.
Dispense favors on Trump's political allies.
Investigate and punish Trump's political opponents.
It is a dangerous three tiered system of justice that is leading our country down a dark road.

Even though I'm not made of $$, I subscribe to Democracy Docket. I know @marcelias.bsky.social and his team will deliver to my inbox clear, concise synopses of court challenges to @Donny2Dolls' attempts to be king. Oh, and they're pummeling him in the courts! With Marc's help, standing my ground.
Doubt what happened at OneBillsDrive was Brady's fault. Offense never problem. Decisions not to kick playoff FGs were McD's. Withholding opinion till draft. OC, DC, assts picks crucial. Brady knows each player's pros/cons. Settle in, focus on draft/free agents. Wish Brady all luck&wisdom! GO BILLS!
We've agreed to terms with Joe Brady on a 5-year contract to become our next head coach!

NEW: Former Special Counsel Jack Smith is set to publicly testify before a House committee next Thursday on his investigations into Trump’s efforts to overturn the results of the 2020 election. This comes after Smith defended his probe in a closed-door hearing last month.
