It's shameful how Republican lawmakers rushed to give tax cuts to wealthy people when they didn't even press for it. They bent over backwards, abandoning all dignity, in the rush to acquiesce. At the same time, to those struggling and in desperate need, they offer only mocking cruelty.

I've been calling and writing letters to my Congressman and Senators. As effective as that is (don't roll your eyes now) I feel that is more helpful than just to post my thoughts on here. I've found social media to be neither media nor social. Lately I've seen it more as a detriment to society.

The main thread that runs through the actions of those in the Trump administration is not just delight in their own respective cruelty, but that such cruelty be inflicted with as much pain and humiliation as possible upon those most vulnerable and defenseless.

I've read about cowards and sycophants but I've never seen such cowardly and sycophantic behaviors—live, before my eyes, in vivid Technicolor—as from those who shill for the Trump administration. These people not only lost their minds but all traces of dignity. They seem like meat-oozing automatons.

It's crazy that Waltz or anyone else on his NSA staff, junior or otherwise, could be so nonchalant about simple security practices, that they could add an unauthorized person to their private chat.

You should not willy-nilly add a phone number to a Signal group chat. You should have that number in your Contacts list or know the person's Signal handle. So let's hope whoever added Jeffrey Goldberg to that chat didn't do so by simply entering a phone number. You could enter it wrong, right?

For context regarding our heads of intelligence using the Signal app. I've been using Signal for over 5 years & found it to be very reliable & secure, w/ end-to-end encryption. However, it's only as secure as the user protecting the phone it's on. If that phone's compromised, then all bets are off.

Amazon recommended Washington's "Rules of Civility and Decent Behavior in Company and Conversation." It was this gem…
"9. Spit not in the fire, nor stoop low before it. Neither put your hands into the flames to warm them, nor set your feet upon the fire, especially if there be meat before it."

I'm trying hard to have discipline. Know that for every post that I posted about the orange felon or concerning some kind of a whine or complaint, I threw away the other 99. I really am trying to be more positive.

BREAKING NEWS: Donald Trump to put tariffs on Columbia Records and Tapes. Those who have outstanding balances from the 80s and 90s will now have a 25% tariff imposed, with interest.
This could bankrupt and destroy so many families.

The American Historical Association sent its members an email saying they were affected by the executive order from that Agent of Chaos—the orange miscreant—who imposed his reckless "pause" on federal funding programs. Yes, the AHA, that hotbed of woke, unpatriotic socialism!

I'm not going to spend the next four years responding to every outrageous thing Trump and his bootlickers inflict upon us. They will flood the zone with childish and antagonistic antics. But a Nazi salute one cannot be silent about. Europeans know what's what.

"It’s a country where people don’t have a sense of humanism. 'Love thy neighbor' doesn’t exist," she said.

It feels like this is the wrong way to use AI. It's strange, when technology and humans interact. The person knows it's not real, yet can't help but get drawn in. This is the desolate social landscape we find ourselves in.

I didn't know that adults drinking milk was considered creepy or deviant. While I don't drink milk regularly, whole milk is great with chocolate chip or Oreo cookies, or apple pie (which I like very much). And cereal. Is it ill-advised to admit this?

The thing about being rich is that you love money more than you value respect for yourself. The context of this is Mark Zuckerberg caving in so cowardly and publicly to Trump. This is only me guessing, of course, since I don't have money. Maybe if I did I could be persuaded to go through public…

The thing I like about a snowy, cold day here in Atlanta is the quiet. No sound of cars zooming by, no idiots playing loud music while doing God-knows-what, no target shooting of firearms, no pounding bass coming from cars (Is that still a thing?). The snow & ice are pretty, too, but I like silence.
