In Georgia, we flipped two Public Service Commission seats to (D), which I'm certain surprised the state's 'current management'. Not as big of a deal maybe as Prop 50, VA, NJ, but we're happy about it!

Those who don't know the word for an assemblage of Crows will comment!

Succumbed to the legendary smell. The man was fine after getting some fresh air.

FBI has a big job before them, then. There's a whole lot of people like you.

Over 900, actually. People wish they'd read it now, at
least the more horrifying parts.

If certain things didn't exist, I'd have no interest in living. Tomatoes are one of those things. I can't live without them. Which is why Trump's tariffs on Mexico are about to roil my world. Certain times of year ...

Oh, to be blessed with that amount of imagination and talent instead of being just another drone in this world! lmao

If they could and would deport everyone, no one would remain for them to talk about and use to fill their supporters with rage.

I've never understood why I find photographs of tortured landscapes exploding with color and hue so beautiful. But, I do. Thanks!

Unless they dropped two MOP in the same hole in succession, they never got down to the Enrichment level. But, maybe they did.

You missed. Carlos has always been a lovely guy. I thank him for being a helluva 'hose' for a helluva lot of my lifetime. I also credit him and his eponymous group for being a big part of the reason why this WASP loves the shit out of latin percussion.

I'd like to suggest proofreading materials beforehand. Mistakes reduce credibility.

The news is, the Republicans are anti healthcare and have been for many years. They wouldn't take the Medicaid Expansion money available under the ACA because it would help people get care in rural areas. People need to STOP VOTING AGAINST THEMSELVES.

If nothing else is true about it, Starship explodes grandly. It never disappoints in that way. Mars seems not to want to be visited by humans, at least any time soon.

I'm guessing a version of 'Shepherd's Pie'. Was always a 'go to' when I lived by myself. Very versatile!

Don't let Trump's minions go light on this killer.

Just a couple people hanging around out on the lawn.
In I-da-ho. Got noisy in Boise!

That one detainment put their actions in violation of the 'Posse Comitatus Act', making it a very big deal.

Thank you, sir! Now, if only today's Americans can learn the lessons you did.

Nobody but nobody does a Goose-stepping dance like the North Koreans! Trump wanted THAT. Our folks looked like they were 'phoning it in'. They didn't march, they strolled like they were bored by the whole thing. Most, I assume, did not have their heart in it.

Lot of really cool relics moved down that street. Did the Army have to rent that stuff like the movie companies do?

Yes, and at each new opportunity, more and MORE people are showing up to make THE STATEMENT.
"We're NOT going down this road, asshole!"

Oh, yeah, he's a true jerk and no friend of America. He's an anti democracy, anti Constitution pile of ๐Ÿ’ฉ.

Musicians surround Proud Boys, drown them out with tubas at 'No Kings' protest in Atlanta
YouTube video by Tennessean Musicians surround Proud Boys, drown them out with tubas at 'No Kings' protest in Atlanta

Got a couple minutes to get a good laugh?

This is what happened in Atlanta to the 'Proud Boys' who showed up for 'No Kings'.

They found the boys in the 'brass wind section'

Piggyback on top, Buran, the Soviet Union's Space Plane built from stolen plans of the U.S. Space Shuttle. As I recall, the U.S. knew data was being stolen and altered it to create engineering problems. Externally, Buran looked a near identical copy. It flew to space exactly once, unmanned.
