I adore coffee and kindness, but not if I haven’t had my coffee. Overthinker, but a good bourbon can bring on serious spontaneity. Live music always. My dog Yogi goes places. Please save the USA.

Listen. If you see me walking around limping or in pain, you can’t ask me what happened. I just woke up in this body. That’s all the information I have.

After living in Germany, I have such an appreciation for shopping at Aldi now. More affordable groceries, interesting Aldi finds. BUT I unknowingly bought single ply toilet paper and now my entire being is deflated and sad.

The GOP talking point today is:
"It's going to take unconventional methods to get us out of the mess we've been in the past 4 years"
"The mess"
- booming stock markets
- unprecedented job growth
- strong GDP
- wage growth
- plateauing inflation
- strong allies & trading partners
- a sane POTUS

Steven Levitsky: “When you see important societal actors — be it university presidents, media outlets, C.E.O.s, mayors, governors — changing their behavior in order to avoid the wrath of the government, that’s a sign that we’ve crossed the line into some form of authoritarianism.”
Fearing Retribution, Trump Critics Muzzle Themselves
People say they are intimidated by online attacks from the president, concerned about harm to their businesses or worried about the safety of their families.

For the rest of my life, I will never understand how a country full of people busting their asses, working paycheck to paycheck, allow the fucking richest guy on Earth to call them "parasites" while calling the Social Security we contributed to our entire lives "a Ponzi scheme."
Un-fucking-real.

Alito, Thomas, Gorsuch and Kavanaugh think US farmers should be stiffed for billions of dollars owed to them. Where’s the justice in that?

Just look at these paragraphs from the AP story.
Hegseth called Brown unqualified solely because he's Black. Then they fired him... and replaced him with a white guy so indisputably unqualified that he requires a Presidential waiver.
This is what "merit" means to them.

Dear MAGA: your blind eye and devotion to your King will soon have you swimming in the moat of his feces. I hope you find it as delicious as his “promises” because eating it is your only possible way out.

My grandfather was a POW in a German gulag in WWII. How absolutely diabolical that many of his own descendants support the USA becoming part of a new Axis of Evil.

Why do so many feel like they've fallen behind?
It's not because of immigrants, trans people, DEI, the “deep state,” or any other bogeyman trotted out by the GOP.
It's because big corporations and billionaires have rigged markets and siphoned off most of the economy's gains.

Who supports this? You? Then you are no patriot to the beloved American ideals, only the shameful ones that are emerging in the huge wake of this tragedy. And your complicity will not be forgotten.

Soon…our ears will be bruised with statistics proving that people today have more food, more clothes, better houses, better recreations-that they live longer, work shorter hours, are bigger, healthier, stronger, happier, more intelligent, better educated, than the people of just 8 days ago. “1984” 🙄

Every member of Trump’s cabinet in his first term was put to the test, when their loyalty to the president came into conflict with their oath to the constitution.
Bondi may think she will be different.
But every day of Trump’s first term tells us otherwise.
