Well, I guess that answers my previous post asking if anyone knew what was happening to the national debt.
Let’s see, 1T in 70 days. At that rate the number will double before he leaves office.
$70 + T by 2029.
Susan Collins & the rest of the deficit hawks must be “very” concerned.

His devotion to patriarchy, in all forms, is stunning.

WHO AGREES?! 🤚

Gotta love Jasmine! ❤️✨

Need a t-shirt with this on it

Been saying that from the get go.
Little blood packet like those used in movies.
Never heard any more on the man who was killed, nor did his family come fwd. They were either paid off or threatened (or both).
Some day we will know.

Just when you might be ready to give up on the younger generation:
My grandson (age12) used a saying that gave me a sense of peace, when he off-handedly commented on the antics of an older person in full “drama mode”.
He said - “ he needs to touch grass”
Says it all.

Great meme.
I was thinking of a variation on the ploy of holding up a mirror in protest.
How about wearing a KKK hood as you face the storm troops, holding a sign that says “you’re looking in a mirror “

Roll the tape of Hawley running for his life during the insurrection.
Spineless.

I was reading some quotes from Steve Eisman, the billionaire who is credited w/ predicting the 2008 housing collapse. He pointed out economic growth is almost non-existent, if one removes the AI players.
If one of the 1% is calling for caution, what does that portend for the working/middle class?

Miller is a deeply unhappy & insecure person. I think the only time I have seen him smile is when others are being hurt.
Evil for its own sake. Cruelty is the goal.

With the shutdown, the jobs report will not be issued.
Know what else has disappeared from the news - the national debt level. When Biden was POTUS, it was a weekly above the fold, bold type banner. I haven’t seen it mentioned since April when tax receipts showed black - as it usually does.

Yea, the indoor fireworks during her grand entrance was a tip off. Her walk-off to stage left, with a pause, turning toward the audience, daubing her eyes: as staged as the attempt on Trump’s life in Butler,PA. It’s all performative. Yet, they eat it up.

Pause for a moment to gage the level of outrage. Tells you how close to the bone your comment hit.

Good for you.
I have tried every which way - following the instructions - but it will not delete my a/c.
Gave up & deleted almost every post - no small feat.

Totally agree - not with Klein but with Jacob

I was re-visiting prior posts in my timeline & this one still sends shivers down my spine. Heritage new map for judges, Missouri legislator asserting our freedoms should not extend to “all”, SCOTUS restricting the interpretation of the 4th Amendment to allow racial profiling.
Watch if you dare.

I recently composed a series of posts suggesting almost the same thing. I called to the “Great Sorting” where people move where they feel safe or refuse to move to places not deemed safe.
Wonder how boarder crossings would work? Could intelligent folks refuse to license ideas to the other side?

…education, the refusal by certain parties to allow access to healthcare ) And the cruelty.
As a liberal, I recognize all of it (with sadness) but I will not give up trying to make meaningful changes.
Maybe Conservatives believe it is ordained to be this way & a waste of time to try to change

I read David Brooks regularly. I often don’t agree with his position. But, today’s opinion leaves me wanting. Brooks has every right to not want to join the left. But to say that we don’t grasp reality is dismissive. In many ways, reality (generational inequality, crony capitalism, war on …..

How, indeed.
Ask the GOP Senators who confirmed them, every one.

Rose Garden???
Maybe call it the Stone Garden

Can’t wait for the BooHahHa
(Sound up)

Stay pissed, America….

runaway gerrymandering.
Christian (I use that term in its broadest meaning) Nationalism-insisting that individuals not be allowed to choose their gender, even though that choice causes no harm to anyone else.
Control with a helping of cruelty.
I question whether our Republic can survive.

and undoing even modest restrictions on bump stocks, assault rifles & banana clips, not to mention keeping guns out of the hands of mentally dangerous people.
SCOTUS - enabling the dismantling of our democracy, with Citizen’s United, gutting of Voting rights & “just calling balls & strikes” allowing

Trump, his GOP sycophants in Congress & Red State legislatures, along with SCOTUS are forcing folks to face choices never imagined before this. Examples:
Texas - disenfranchisement of voters & vigilante anti abortion laws;
Nationally - refusal to enact sensible guns laws to prevent mass killings…..

Seems like ages ago the last time I posted on Twitter (refuse to use x, y or z).
One of my last posts explored a thought experiment about a “great sorting” coming, in which people, families & companies choose what they are willing to put up with & where they will live.
The concept is coming alive….

The only Senator who comes near Collin’s in “pearl clutching “ is Lady Graham. (Sorry: Lindsey)

That’s $100 per month.
Been grocery shopping lately?
Cruelty is the goal.

Town Halls held by GOP officeholders: while fewer in #, the hostility is palpable. If you notice, speaking to the officer holder does little to budge his/her position.
Maybe we should use the”mike time”to talk to other voters as to why one could vote for them again.
