You also responded with β€œpeople can work from home and on the internet”. Obviously not the case for everyone.

Could someone place an order for 100 more Jasmine Crocketts for overnight delivery to the Democratic Party

thx in advance
Crockett: "It's just that they're idiots. These are the same guys as it relates to our nuclear stockpile, they're like, 'Oh, wait a minute, we needed those guys? Can we get them back? Oh, we don't know how to.' I don't know how anyone can look at this administration & feel a semblance of confidence"

You’re really making a lot of assumptions. Someone I love very much has to fly around the country scouting locations for events. You cannot do that except in person. I have a lot of anxiety about it now thanks to the orange idiot.

Disneyland? Many many people have to fly or lose their jobs.

Sourdough bread I baked last night. I just wanted to add something positive on here because 99% of posts are horrifying and depressing.

It's not just the money, either.

A venue manager told me that when they're setting up her show, she went out and introduced herself to the locals doing the work to thank them. He said that's the only act he's ever seen do that. You don't have to be a fan of her music to be a fan of Taylor Swift.

You can erase your stupid calendar entries, google, but you will never erase the people. Sickening and pathetic that you bow to a felon dictator and ignore real Americans.

I do that with every post from every source that is pro dictator. Blocking is not enough. Report them, everyone. Hate speech. Fraud. Scam, etc.

Dictators don't comply with any laws. Wake up ! You're wasting precious time with lawsuits and federal freezes. And just making yourselves look weak and foolish. Arrest the mfkr and his sidekick elon.

This is the point I keep coming back to- if the head of state has no regard for the Constitution or the rule of law, what responsibility do states/citizens have to obey the directives of the federal government?

Central Valley farm owners didn’t want undocumented workers deported; what they want is to keep workers in fear of being deported so they can abuse them.

The impact of Trump's promise of mass deportations is already starting to show. The California Farm Bureau says fears in the Central Valley have led to migrant farmworkers not showing up for work, which has virtually halted the area's citrus harvest. 🍊 πŸ‹

The Inspectors General refuse to leave until the action is taken legally, which they do not believe it was, and neither do senators like Chuck Grassley. This is what not backing down looks like.
