Most people don't even know that seniors can get Medicaid. They think we're all in Medicare 🙄

Once this morning and once this evening I googled tariffs and clicked the news on Google. Six pages of results none of which were Fox. Maybe it's the algorithm but....

BREAKING: Foreign-born leader comes to Oval Office, dressed down in a disrespectful manner, having already received billions from America, asking for American taxpayers to keep paying him more billions, subsidizing him for years to come:

I don't know why I bother to get on here. I don't know if I can handle three years and 10.5 more months of being assaulted with the fall of our democracy every single freaking day.

“Frodo: I can’t do this, Sam.

Sam: I know. It’s all wrong. By rights we shouldn’t even be here. But we are. It’s like in the great stories, Mr. Frodo. The ones that really mattered. Full of darkness and danger, they were. And sometimes you didn’t want to know the end. Because how could the end be happy? How could the world go back to the way it was when so much bad had happened? But in the end, it’s only a passing thing, this shadow. Even darkness must pass. A new day will come. And when the sun shines it will shine out the clearer. Those were the stories that stayed with you. That meant something, even if you were too small to understand why. But I think, Mr. Frodo, I do understand. I know now. Folk in those stories had lots of chances of turning back, only they didn’t. They kept going. Because they were holding on to something.

Frodo: What are we holding onto, Sam?

Sam: That there’s some good in this world, Mr. Frodo… and it’s worth fighting for.”

I believe Tolkien said it best

Your head is rather big and then your body tapers down and becomes smaller at the feet. Am I the only one seeing that?

Sadly, just like the world questioned why we had criminal candidate on the ballot, our system of checks & balances didn't consider this kind of coup so there's no recourse except by filing lawsuits

Is she really this clueless? Does the GOP really think that we're okay with or that it's just okay for some rando to reset the entire government without checks and balances? 🤬😡🤦🤷

The fact is they have the money & the power to end anyone who would dare try to defraud or take advantage of them so it's not a concern for them. They don't care what happens to us.
