Rolling around in her piles of ill-gotten money.

National debt: The Treasury Department reported that the national debt surpassed $37 trillion, exceeding pre-pandemic projections by several years and pointing to an accelerating balance sheet. [AP]

I agree. Iโ€™ve turned away from so many things and people because of that vile man.

That sounds great! Iโ€™m just feeling negative lately and need to work on that!!

Itโ€™s very red. At least Iโ€™m in the city of Knoxville and actually have Democrats on my street.

I secretly liked Hee Haw. ๐Ÿ˜‚

Iโ€™m retired and most of my career was in bright blue Decatur, Georgia. Iโ€™ve been in knoxville for 25 years and itโ€™s never going to be home. But my husband and his kids are here.

Heโ€™s just one of many reasons I hate living here. Heโ€™s a big reason though and the fact that people love him here is the rest of the story.

Lucky you. Iโ€™m IN Tennessee and canโ€™t get out. ๐Ÿ˜ญ

We need a new and much stronger word for โ€œirony.โ€

Buckle up, folks. Our economy is on the brink of a serious dive. Inflation is worsening and recession is looming. Iโ€™m not an expert but I also have a measurable IQ and am not a cult follower.

Yes that is what Ruth Ann Crystal said in her newsletter that I received today. Iโ€™d like to understand if that means Novavax will be less effective than the mRNA vaccines. I like it because I donโ€™t suffer side effects but Iโ€™d rather be sidelined for a day or so and get the โ€œbestโ€ vaccine.

Thanks, Chise! The article I read said Novavax would be the same. I guess Iโ€™ll just get whatever is available.

Chise, is it true that the Novavax Covid vaccine this fall will be exactly the same one we got in fall of 2024? Is it better to get Moderna or Pfizer, since they will be updated?

the continued capitulation of every corporation to fascism in pursuit of the almighty shareholder value is as unsurprising as it is blood-boiling

Agree. Itโ€™s binary

An innocent President would simply release the Epstein Files and demand a full FBI investigation into every Epstein client.

Thatโ€™s it.

Thatโ€™s the whole ballgame summed up.

People seem to be clueless. I truly believe we are in the precipice of a major recession. The economy is in big trouble.

Pardon is right around the corner. Because justice is never done in this new world weโ€™re in.

Because there really are no rules in trumplandia.

Corporation for Public Broadcasting is shutting down because of republicans and trump. Iโ€™m feeling pretty distraught today. I just canโ€™t see a light at the end of this pitch black tunnel.

Heโ€™s a natural. He is a man of substance and it doesnโ€™t hurt heโ€™s super telegenic.

Heโ€™s a fantastic candidate. If he wins Iโ€™d consider moving to NC. Weโ€™re doomed here in Tennessee.
