When you call or contact the damn White House, remember that
Donald Trump and every elected representative are public servants.
They work for us.
Our tax dollars pay their salaries and pay for their offices and security and health insurance.
This isn’t Russia.

The lizard eyelids are a huge tell that Trump has had a recent too tight eye job. No wonder he has bruises on his hand — he’s a man of the facelift.

Once upon a time, I joined a class action lawsuit vs. Facebook re’ privacy (2022). Today I got a fishy looking email, and after due diligence, it turned out to be for real. Time to donate to a worthy anti-Zuckerberg cause. Seems right.

My grandfather would be furiously pissed off with Trump’s Ukraine plan.

All this talk about the midterms as our big opportunity in 2026 is batshit crazy.

Otherwise—my receipt.

My grandfather’s description of war crimes trials at Dachau. I met a Polish man who attended as a young man, and 44 years later, all he talked about was the American justice for Nazis. He knew the name/rank of every American.

That’s my grandfather.
His troops were renowned for their speed on foot (the Truscott trot). Through mountains.
Go to hell, Hegseth.
