So much crap. Just trying to share my personal take. These are my opinions and I would never ask a fellow American to be in lock step with me.

I received this email about Democrats caving to end the shutdown from one of the SNAP recipients I spoke to:

Supreme Court rejects call to overturn its decision legalizing same-sex marriage nationwide The Supreme Court has rejected a call to overturn its landmark decision that legalized same-sex marriage nationwide.

Finally, maybe the brakes are on for all this retro-grade BS. Hugs to all my friends who are breathing a little easier this morning.

The President wouldn't last five minutes as an air traffic controller, and after everything they've been through - and the way this administration has treated them from Day One - he has no business shitting on them now.

And the filthy rich get even more filthy.

No CEO deserves to be paid $1T, but this is about more than that.

Shareholders voted to get even more filthy rich in their own right, literally banking on MrDadOfTheYear making them even more money.

Until something goes sideways, this will be a new trend.

Airports affected by Trump's slow-down: 40 Airports, 16 in Republican run states and 24 in Democratic run states.

CA has 5 major airports affected, with FL and TX each having 4.

This should be really interesting for the holidays.

Wifey and I live in a diverse suburb of the Bay Area. We're lucky to not want for food. I'm streaming against food insecurity until year end.

Please consider those who are not as lucky this season!

So, you don’t need to put things back the way they were before this all started.

Listen to the people. ALL the people. You’ll pick up your cues from them as to how to approach rebuilding our government, what things to focus on first, who should be your leaders?

OK, Dems. You roared loudly last night. Now, what are you going to do with the momentum?

The government we’ve known for years lies in ruins.

Leadership has disappeared, replaced with media grubbing clowns.

They won’t stop until they’ve driven us back 50 years.

Holy Shit. Just how much more BS are you all willing to put up with?

Let’s demolish OUR White House, let’s pardon just about every bastard feeding money to the first family, and let’s steal enough House seats to ensure they can continue to steal us all blind as they dismantle the country.

Let me understand…

ICE is being directed to show force at this year’s Super Bowl because Bad Bunny is Puerto Rican (US Citizen).

Makes sense since every illegal immigrant being targeted by Trump can afford several thousand dollars for a ticket to that game.

While we’re at it, let’s suck all the portable water for cooling and drive energy prices into the stratosphere. Oh, hey, we can also start up the fucking coal burning electric plants to supply that juice for our Corporate Overlords.

How much will YOU benefit? Hmm?

Jimmy didn’t lie. Now the affiliate wants him to apologize AND pay Kirk’s family, and he can have his job back.

Extortion much?

OK, I'm sure a number of you have very strong opinions regarding Charlie Kirk. While I didn't subscribe to his philosophies, I have to respect the manner in which he listened and understood a large segment of our population.

We need to listen...

DT: We’re slapping tariffs on you because we can.

DT: We want you to invest Big Beautiful Billions in our country.

DT: Build your factories here so β€˜Mericans can work.

DT’s ICE: Hmmm, they all look like aliens to us…

Also DT: Please respect our immigration laws.

Simple non-profit business model, regardless of politics nor religion, is to spend as much money as possible in any manner necessary in order to justify begging for more funding in the next cycle.

Non-profits aren’t built to save money.

Trump wants to force NASA and the National Weather Service to cancel their negotiated collective bargaining agreements with their union employees.

Let’s follow the money…

NASA is being partitioned up to give Musk’s SpaceX the business…

NWS will be sold to private weather data services.

Who wins?

IF AI is wiping out starting positions at a lot of companies...

...does that mean companies won't be looking at perspective employee experience any more?

The first time Charlie Chaplin used his voice in a film, he wielded it to forcefully condemn the rising forces of fascism around the globe. Will we listen to his words today?
