As this is "Day Two," I'm going to check to see if there are no longer taxes on tips, the border has been sealed, and the war in Ukraine is over. 👀

"If you can convince the lowest white man he's better than the best colored man, he won't notice you're picking his pocket. Hell, give him somebody to look down on, and he'll empty his pockets for you."

I cannot believe we are relitigating, in the United States Senate, whether women are equal, but here we are.

The Hegseth hearing is doing one thing incredibly well: it’s establishing that when his leadership at DoD fails, it’ll be clear that GOP Senators knew, excused it, and they own it. Serious concerns about experience & judgment are literally being laughed off.

What would I ask? "What was your analysis of the Houthi Bombing in October? What counsel would you give POTUS regarding next actions?"

"What should the US strategy be in Syria ?" " How would you counter Chinese aggression on the south China Sea ?"

"How would you assure civilian oversight of DOD"

I am not watching on 1/20/2025.

"I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character."

-- Martin Luther King Jr., born #OTD 1929

Watch for the white shirts in the front row cheering.
It was our annual Seats for Soldiers Nite.
Our front row season ticket holders give their seats to active and former military.
Last night we had 42 Purple Heart recipients watch the Mavs pull out the win !

I wish I lived in a country where people actually vetted the people they vote for.

🤣

Sigh.

So we end the day with the confirmation that America will soon be inaugurating a felon as president.

From now on TFG means “that felon guy.”

💙Perfect!💙
This picture was taken by the Carter Center!💙

Carter Center photographer got the perfect shot today.

Gerald Ford and Walter Mondale had a bit of the prophet in them when they write their JC eulogies before they died.

Image of stacked document boxes in a chandelier-lit room with a caption joking that Tulsi Gabbard, if confirmed, would gain access to information previously available only to Mar-a-Lago bathroom visitors.

Hadn’t thought of it that way before…

Dear maga, it isn’t just Hollywood millionaires losing their mansions, these fires are taking out whole neighborhoods of regular people as well. Please stick your gloating comments in your ear.
