Had three strokes so I couldn't ride a bike anymore. Light bulb went on recently and I thought of recumbent trikes. Got one for my wife too and we LOVE them. Power assist by Bosc. No hill is too steep. We have miles of narrow neighbor hood roads to ride. Lovin' it.

There's no better defense of Free Speech, than using Free Speech. Do it.

If we lose free speech, we've lost everything else.

Appreciate what thousands have given their lives for so that YOU have Free Speech.

DO NOT GIVE IT AWAY.

I'd love to see several hundred people burn little tiny American flags all at once in one place. Free speech.

Make sure the flag is upside down before you burn it.

Trump Proud To Take 'Freedom Of Speech Away' With Order Banning Flag Burning

Trump's constitutionally questionable crackdown came up during an "antifa roundtable" at the White House on Wednesday.

DonOLD is cosplaying again. Thinks he can issue an EO and countermand the Constitution and the Supreme Court rulings regarding free speech rights to burn the American flag.

Nice try.

Damn, I was excited to hear about the series, and then I found out it was on Apple TV.

It's worse, they have Benny Johnson, white supremacist podcaster writing shotgun with Barbie Noem, and a pardoned insurrectionist.

This is yet another manifestation of their Sadism. They film their cruelty. They get off on it.

And Sadism *never* exists in isolation. It's always accompanied by sociopathy-psychopathy (ASPD).

ICE is not only chasing down every random brown person in Chicago, they have a cameraman following them to film this for social media. Cruelty and inhumanity as content.

Tariffs under the Constitution are within the power of the purse, Congress, not the executive branch

Nice try DonOLD.

Trump: "I can create peace with tariffs. I'm using them for a lot of different reasons. If that power was taken away, it would be a terrible terrible day for our country. I would say many of the things I've done could be eradicated ... these are enemies of the country that are pursuing that lawsuit"

Imagine if we had a war situation, even a nuclear attack situation, and Trump posted on X publicly, instead of into a DM to Pete Hogsex.

MantaHunk 🌎🏳️‍🌈☮️🟧 @mantahunk.bsky.social · 4h

Hilarious!
The post on X by Trump about directing Pam Bondi to prosecute James Comey, was supposed to be a DM!

Instead, the idiot posted it PUBLIC. It's very possible that the post will cause the case to be completely dropped, dismissed, and implicate Bondi in vindictive prosecution.

Thank you, Hansine. My wife's handle is @apeacelover.bsky.social.

She is of the more gentle part of our team. For those who can't handle my sarcasm (and bad words), head over to her's account.

She is a poet, a writer, a painter, and has a heart of gold. Former NICU nurse level 4. She's a keeper.

Schiff: "You begin to wonder -- do they believe they have the authority by putting some groups on a list, even domestic groups, to use lethal force against them, with no trial, no due process, no nothing? The reality is we can't rule that out."

DVT Prevention: Intermittent Pneumatic Compression Device

We now know that Trump can't stand in front of a podium. He has to sit in behind the Resolute desk and babble like a demented Uncle. I wouldn't be surprised if under the desk they have him in a DVT device.

Here's the problem, everyone is behaving as if Trump is the "mastermind" in this takeover, and he's really just a patsy for the world's evil elite.

Get to the source, Trump is just a "FRONT MAN" and he's clueless.

Pay attention.

"Plenary authority is legal power that is full, complete, and unrestricted in a specific area. When used in reference to government officials, the term "plenary power" is more common."

My Magic 8 Ball says, "All signs point to buckle the f*%k up."

Christopher Webb @cwebbonline.com · 1d

Stephen Miller said the quiet part out loud. Trump has “plenary authority,” then suddenly went silent. Their plan wasn’t to be public yet. Clearly, someone hit the panic button in his earpiece.

It gets weirder: CNN uploaded the interview with the “plenary authority” comment edited out.
