Cemetery owner (really). Refugee from Investments/Banking. Reformed Republican. #Never again. Agitated. Fed up with the stupid everywhere. Philadelphia then, now & forever. Talk is cheap. Just play the game.

This little girl has been pinned to my Twitter page since passing almost 4 years ago, so it's only fitting that she's my first post here. Her name was Peyton, and she was my intrepid companion for 14 years. I miss her every day.
At what point (now would be great) do sane people in positions of authority stand up and say:

“We’re not going to keep doing this dance with him. He’s insane, and irrelevant politically. Enough is enough.”

It doesn’t have to be like this. None of us would tolerate this anywhere else in our lives.

The idiot who lives in the White House will not notice, but most notable in Burns' "The American Revolution" is Benjamin Franklin's response to Parliament when asked "might a military force compel the colonists to pay the Stamp Tax?"
"No."
"They will not find a rebellion, they may indeed make one."

Again, not really news, but listening to Elon Musk on CNBC serves to confirm that he’s a colossal idiot and consummate bullshit artist.
No, we don’t all want “humanoid” robots. In fact, hardly anyone ever will.
More to the point, I'd love to never have to see/hear from Musk ever again. 🤡

It’s impossible to articulate how many disparate ways I would’ve told Pam Bondi & Emil Bove to go fuck themselves, were I placed in these situations.
We, the opposition, need to cease with “norms” and fight back against all of this with furious rage.

Easily one of the best albums of the decade. Evocative of so many times, places and friends. “The Killing Moon” still makes the hair on the back of my neck stand up.
On this day in 1985, we released our compilation album Songs To Learn & Sing, featuring Bring On The Dancing Horses 🐴✨
Which track from the album is your favourite? 💿👇 🐰

Simply Red releases “Holding Back the Years” 40 years ago today.

“I didn’t realize what it was about until I’d finished it,” said Mick Hucknall. “It’s about that moment where you know you have to leave home and make your mark — but the outside world is scary. So you’re ‘holding back the years.’”

Donald Trump and Peter Hegseth have now murdered 57 human beings on their boats in the Caribbean and the Pacific.

That means they've passed Seattle's "Green River Killer" (49) to become the most lethal serial killers in American history

Facts.
They do matter.
Lots of reporting on SNAP getting the details wrong.

SNAP is not set to run out of money on November 1. There’s money in the contingency fund to pay benefits.

The Trump admin is illegally refusing to deliver benefits on November 1, despite having funding to pay benefits.

All of this.
I'll take my shot at refutation.

I don't hate America. I loathe everything you and your kind is doing to undermine and destroy its honor, promise and humanity. So I will join with millions of others in dissent, which is the most American thing there is.

You lying, fearmongering, cowardly trash.

This is way past BAD.
Everyone needs to understand what’s happening here and do everything possible to stop it.
Trump's mechanism to pay the troops during the shutdown is by far the most illegal budgetary action he's taken as POTUS, potentially setting the stage to break everything.

It's also needless because Congress would easily pass a troop pay bill if Johnson were willing to gavel in.

Long thread.

100% correct
We've had fuckups in the White House before, but never a president who seemed so deliberately intent on being a fuckup.

It's been said before, but if these people were actual agents of an enemy power seeking to divide, dismantle and destroy the USA they wouldn't be doing anything different.
October 2, 2025 at 3:36 PM
Because they could. That's what we have become.
The flew the entire military leadership in so they could see for themselves that the Secretary of Defense is a mouthbreathing dipshit and the Commander in Chief is a senile, weak old man who might keel over at any moment.

Everyone needs to follow Bobby and read everything he writes.
We’d be a better country if this happened.
New OPM guidance says OMB "has determined" agencies may do work on mass firings during shutdowns.

This seems like a blatant Antideficiency Act violation, which caries criminal penalties.

However, the Trump admin won't prosecute itself, so this is yet more broken budget laws from the Trump admin
