Had three strokes so I couldn't ride a bike anymore. Light bulb went on recently and I thought of recumbent trikes. Got one for my wife too and we LOVE them. Power assist by Bosc. No hill is too steep. We have miles of narrow neighbor hood roads to ride. Lovin' it.

The Nobel committee:
We could have given DonOLD the Nobel Peace prize, until he changed the name of the Department of Defense to the Department of War.

OH, HE ALSO COMMITTED GENOCIDE.

Trump, the world is not MAGA.
The sooner you learn that the better.
The world is the one that is laughing at you.

"Has personal story that doubles as the spiritual journey of 4 decades of GOP putrefaction. Reid has Zelig-ed his way through just about every stage in the GOP’s metamorphosis from anti-fascist family-value conservatism to its current incarnation as the profa (as opposed to antifa) party of pervs."

Poor DonOLD, he still doesn't realize that he does this to himself. Shakespeare would have had fun with DonOLD.

Independent C-SPAN caller to Rep. Mark Alford: "You're taking credit for $50b that you just gave to the hospital industry. That's after you took away $150b. You don't take credit for just giving back a little bit of money after taking away so much. So quit lying. It just makes you look horrible."

Judge Perry: “I’m trying to put this delicately. There has been evidence submitted that the very presence of federal agents, that the way they’re interacting with the populace, is itself the cause of violence.”

Judge blocks Trump from deploying troops in Illinois for now

Officials in Oregon and Illinois had challenged the Trump administration’s push to dispatch the National Guard in both states.

Trump not getting it is great. Even better? Is being awarded to a courageous Venezuelan woman, fighting against an authoritarian regime. I mean, come on! 👏😂

Adam Schwarz @adamjschwarz.bsky.social · 6h

The Nobel Peace Prize 2025 has been awarded to Venezuelan democracy activist María Corina Machado.

The Nobel Committee recognised her “struggle to achieve a just & peaceful transition from dictatorship to democracy.”

In other words, exactly the opposite of what Trump is doing to the United States.

Not only did Trump lose, he lost to a (very deserving) Spanish-speaking WOMAN. Gifted article about his shameless campaign:

The 11th-Hour Campaign to Land Trump a Nobel Peace Prize

A bid was mounted to persuade the Nobel committee to make Trump the fifth American president to receive the honor.
