Hearing folks say they’re Independent and will vote for the best candidate in next election. Well, sounds wonderful. Cue the barn raising music from Witness. But the word GOP has become synonymous with fear, mistrust, and disloyalty to the Constitution. Me? Straight Democrat. I’m agst an autocracy.

Watched Netflix doc on Jane Goodall released after her death @ her request. She suggested sending Trump, Putin, Xi, and Musk in his spaceship into space. She voiced disgust with them and repeatedly emphasized for us not to lose hope during this time of our darkened planet. Gripping and memorable.

Trump irate. Claims he’s been opposed to Venezuela longer than she has. “Did she attack their boats? I don’t think so.”

Miller in CNN interview says military will be used to protect the safety of our elections. So, besides Epstein diversion, Trump and friends are preparing to use military not to protect us from voter fraud but to commit it.

Trump beside himself since learning that a Portland scientist has been awarded the Peace Prize for her work in immunology. Says it’s rigged. After all, he’s redefined usage of Tylenol and how to pronounce acetaminophen. Because she’s from Portland, he’s also asked the National Guard to investigate.

I’ve not delved into nor plan get into cryptocurrency. There are several reasons besides my age, but, quite simply, any word with crypt in it doesn’t sound inviting. Crypt is a tomb beneath churches where the dead are buried. And, I remember Tales of the Crypt as a kid with that eerie skull.💀

Kristy I Shot My Dig Noem promises ICE will be all over Bad Bunny at SB. This should make for interesting halftime viewing here and around the world. Wonder if his excellency - Trump, not the pope, stupid - will choose to speak as well?

Excerpt from article in today’s NYTs Opinion by Debbie Millman. Title: “The Rebranding of Democracy”. Caption: “A new ballroom - referring to White House - recasts civic space as personal theater.” Bravo.

Still reeling from Pete’s dog and pony show bringing generals from all over the world. Guess as a FOX celebrity he thought it impt to dance around the stage to deliver a message in person instead of zooming it. And what a message it was, telling career servicemen what to do. They must have hated it

Trump just told Hamas they have till 6pm Sunday or “all hell will break out.” Great way to negotiate with these savages who aren’t happy to begin with. Remember hearing when he first ran, let’s try someone different? Well, he’s “different”
all right.

Don’t know how much longer I can message here. Democrat cities are under siege. I live outside Philly, and it’s only a matter of time before Pete’s white, clean shaven, all male brigades come marching in. Wonder if they’ll carry a battered flag surrounded by men playing flutes?

Ret’d gen on MSNBC defending Pete bringing generals in for face to face. Says it
was ok because you don’t combat war on Zoom. Need face to face. Huh? Are we at war? Must have missed it with so much news going on. Let’s see, I think I remember what to do. Get under desk, cover eyes, and no talking.

Question. When Trump shows us his manly fist, demonstrating his strength and power, is he really just hiding the fact he needs a manicure?
