If you're NOT angry that the US government would rather spend money bailing out Argentina than helping all American citizens have healthcare credits in the US budget...

Perhaps you need anger management to be angry properly.

Maybe you've lost that "America First" energy. Where'd it go?

Seeing the two headlines --
1. "Israel supports [Ch]ump for Nobel PEACE Prize"
2. "[Ch]ump supports Netanyahu for pardon"
-- in the same day is like Bullshit Overflowing. None of that works.

Mike Johnson fails to realize that this shutdown only truly reflects on his unwillingness to allow the government to function in any aspect, as well as the unwillingness to prevent Americans from falling into decline. It reflects on his boss also.

I find it odd and not at all a coincidence that as soon as they offered early access to Alexa+, my current Alexa is not recognizing any of my devices. The same devices and routines I had working two days ago stopped being seen one day later.

The great actress Diane Keaton has left us at the age of 79. Too soon to say good-bye to the woman who made us smile at the quirky Annie Hall, and who broke our hearts in Reds. Your charm and talent will be sorely missed.

Bears repeating:

Just because you *think* you "didn't vote for this" doesn't *mean* you didn't vote for this.

It means you weren't aware or didn't care that you were voting for this. You didn't care about your own values, you hated who you hated without considering your own well-being.

Since we're in a government shutdown and Reich Republican Speaker Mike Johnson is refusing to hold a fully open House to swear in new Rep. Grivalda to sign the Discharge Petition, we continue to wait on the answer.

Damn, that's crazy... Where are the Epstein files?
