The Convicted FElon is now saying that he pardoned Tina Peters, even though he doesn't have any power over state convictions.
But he wants to control all levels of government, Federal, State & Local governments.

Master’s thesis has come back. Distinction, A+. This means I’m doing a PhD. Still a little overwhelmed.

The worst president ever has never:

- Stopped a war.
- Saved a life.
- Made huge tariff revenue.
- Worked hard.
- Helped the economy.
- Brought in business.
- Made "huge" tax cuts.
- Created any "aura" besides shitting his diaper.
- Aced "perfect marks" in anything.
- Had "strong results".

Happy #FossilFriday from this dinky Saurornitholestes tooth that I found in the Judith River Formation.

Now if only I could find a whole raptor attached to one of these someday.

I appreciate that people care enough to keep checking up on me, but y’all. Asking ”how’s your leg?” daily is silly. It won’t change. And if you’re gonna get shitty when I respond, “still broken,” maybe reconsider checking in? Bc if I can’t make a funny remark, I’m never gonna get through this.

Yesterday, Spc Sarah Becstrom was laid to rest in West Virginia at a VA National Cemetery.
Surprisingly none of the major major news media mention it. No flags were lower to half staff.
Well the Convicted FElon keeps the news focus on him.

BILL BURR: “If someone’s working 160 hours a month and can’t make their rent, you’re not paying them enough. Maybe you should just be worth $900,000,000… How does a CEO take a f*cking 8 figure bonus and none of your employees have dental insurance?”

I appreciate people being concerned about cats and wanting proper veterinary care for all of them, but it's incredibly unlikely that a cat has a broken tail if he's letting you handle it and raising it when you pet him.

This is not remotely how cats react to painful handling.

“He is not unstoppable and you are not without power”

Remind yourself of this every day.

Especially on the bad days.
Buttigieg on Indiana: "The big part of how Trumpism works is to make you feel totally disempowered. To make him feel inevitable. And yet the clear takeaway from this is he is not unstoppable and you are not without power."
