How is it possible the trump administration can talk about how melting ice will change shipping lanes around Greenland while simultaneously claiming climate change isn’t real?

Credit to Augsburg, they played a tremendous game and deserve the win.

I love when I get a phone call from an unknown number and I google the number only to get a result that says it’s missing the phone number. Would you like to search for pages with that number?
C’mon Google. You can do better.

I still can’t believe Republicans thought it would be wise to have Jack Smith under oath…
I’m glad they did it.
I just don’t think they thought the idea through very much.

If Greenland was just another way to keep the Epstein Files out of the headlines for a few weeks, who will trump think of invading next?

When I’m really feeling sad, the music of The Alarm always lifts me up.
Got a mix of old and recent songs by them going while watching hockey and drinking wine…
Wishing I was somewhere else.

The biggest obstacle we face as a society in getting people to accept reality about Trump is that it requires people to face reality about themselves and about ourselves as a society.

He's now saying that he wants to acquire Greenland because he wasn't awarded the Nobel Peace Prize...
Ever think about how he literally says or does something each week that would lead anyone else to be impeached, removed by the 25th amendment, or led straight to a padded room?

It’s Light of Day time around NJ - always a depressing time for me.
I miss going out to the shows, but it’s become harder & harder with each year.
Going to one concert next week, but that’s all. I used to go every night to a show…

Can anyone explain why Republicans in office seem completely ok with trump acting like a dictator, starting wars here and abroad, and demanding to take over Greenland?
Oh, and ensuring the Epstein Files are never released?
America needs help & they all seem ok with going down with the ship…

Is it really too much to have someone pass a bill mandating ICE to remove their masks?
That one simple thing would probably change things a lot.
1 They wouldn’t feel so invincible
2 Some would probably quit
3 It would make things a bit less scary when they’re walking down streets with their guns

If the things happening in the USA were happening anywhere else in the world, odds are America would try to help save the people.
Will anyone else in the world try to help us?
We need help in a big way…

Running an online radio station for over a decade helped me amass a rather big archive of music. Unfortunately many were MP3s and left behind when I set up my Sonos system.
I dug thru a few external hard drives & added thousands of tunes tonight.

I know many will disagree, but I still believe America needs two restrictions on who can run for President:
1) The person should be required to have held an elected government position before
2) The maximum age to run should be 67
At least one maniac would have been avoided with these two steps.

The failure of our elites to hold Trump accountable for January 6th is as disgraceful as what happened on that awful day.
Since 2010, 35 democratic leaders around the world have been criminally convicted. Only Trump went unpunished and unconstrained.
Now he threatens democracy at home and abroad.
