We’ll be well rid of those two. But, I think Fetterman may be a problem next session.

What do you think of this photo?
Betty says it makes me look a bit chunky.
She says that Chunky is a friendly way of saying 'fat'.
Does that make sense? I don't really mind either way.
I'll carry on enjoying my food and I won't worry about being chunky (or fat)

I'm really happy - my bed is in the greenhouse now!
Colin gave me my breakfast there too.
I like it much more than the shed.
It's nice being able to see what's going on outside, I couldn't do that in the shed.
I never imagined that my life would change so much, I'm really pleased it has.

Kelly: He runs around on stage talking about lethality and the warrior ethos.. That’s not the message that should be coming from the Secretary of Defense… He runs around on a stage like he’s a 12 year old playing army. It’s embarrassing.

Now I know what Whiskey Oete and Preznitwit Barking Mad remind me of, kids with a new toy. Donald has a very compliant SecDef this time around and they both see the armed forces as a new hammer, so everything looks like a nail.
News --> The commander who oversaw Pete Hegseth's alleged killing of two boat bombing survivors is now likely to come in and face questions from the House Armed Services Committee, ranking Dem Adam Smith tells me.
In this piece, I try to make sense of this horror:

Trump Boat Bombings Suddenly on Shakier Ground as Damning Info Emerges
Will Republicans give us a real investigation into Trump’s bombings, now that we just learned horrific new details about them? Or are they seriously going to fall on their swords for Pete Hegseth?

IOW, Fuck international law, rules of engagement, the UMCJ, they all just get in the way of our need to orgasm over explosions and inflicting as much hurt as we can. We can call anybody “enemy combatants” if we want to. We want to see things go “BOOOOOM!!!!!”

Which is why we know what’s happening with Venezuela is NOT about a drug war, it’s about regime change…and oil.
The Gangster State strikes again, with a full-blown presidential pardon for a convicted cocaine trafficker and conspirator who corrupted the Honduran government with his crimes as president. The people must defend freedom and the rule of law against mobster politicians.

I'm really glad to see someone like Kelly finally saying this. bsky.app/profile/atru...
Mark Kelly: "This president, when he says things like 'third world countries,' what is he really saying? I think what he's saying is he doesn't want brown people in our country. And that's disturbing. It's un-American."

How about it, members of the White House Press Corpse?
Real men don’t punch down, and they especially don’t punch down at women.
This mashup of Trump’s disgusting attacks on female reporters — the same reporters who consistently show the most courage. And it’s past time for the other reporters in the room to have their backs!

Last week I told you that Auntie Rachel came to tidy up the Memorial Garden and I was getting used to seeing her.
She came yesterday and look what she brought for me!
I wasn't supposed to help myself but I took a chance before she put the lid back on.

I've made another new friend!
Phil came into the veranda to have a coffee and I welcomed him by sitting on his lap.
Betty told me that I'm coming out of my shell.
I've never had a shell but I suppose she knows what she's talking about.
I'm learning new things every day.

Here is my peace plan for Ukraine/Russia.
1. Russia gets the fuck out of Ukraine.
2. Putin goes on trial in the Hague.
3. Russia pays everyone for everything.
4. Trump gets impeached, convicted, and sent to jail.
Thanks for your attention to this matter.

I'm making new friends every day.
This human loves cats and came to say hello to me.
His plot is next to where Maurine has moved to.
Once Maurine gets used to humans I think he will enjoy having a fuss from him.
I think the allotments are a good place to meet new humans.

Colin's been giving me my meals behind my shed.
The problem is that when he calls my name, Maurine comes too.
Auntie Sammy is feeding him on her plot but he still wants to have extra food on my plot.
I just can't get used to him.
I'm not being anti-social am I?

Yes, yes we do. Defund and dissolve ICE. It is nothing but a bunch of lawless thugs sanctioned by a president who enjoys seeing people hurt.
REP. RAMIREZ: “Tear gassing a 1 year old 🇺🇸 citizen… Dragging a citizen on her way to work out of her car… Throwing tear gas at a children’s Halloween parade…
It’s time to have a serious conversation about defunding ICE.”

Auntie Rachel took it and apart from Betty and Colin she is the only human to ever come this close to me.
She comes to tidy up the Memorial Garden every week.
She seems very kind and I think I will get used to her. Maybe she will bring me some Dreamies next time.

I think that moving to Colin's plot was a good idea.
I keep him company in the Memorial Garden too.
Colin talks to me while he's working and even though he rambles on a bit I still like listening to him.
Sometimes he talks about his childhood in Sicily, I'll tell you about that another time.
