I don't think I had a teaching assistant 30 years ago in engineering school that was not an international graduate student. We are dumbing down America right now.

I used to eat rice and beans at my Cuban mother in law's house and thought I'll never be able to make them this good, now I marvel each time I make rice as beans as good and sometimes even better! I say out loud, I can't believe I made this! It is like love on a plate!

Man, I just read about the "dirty cop" and he sounds like the ideal American hero, the kind that Trump loathes because he doesn't have the courage to be 5% of the man that Mr. Giardina is. Trump is such a small, cowardly, sniveling weasel.

This was very normal in my family too. My mom's cousins were my aunts and uncles and their kids were my cousins. My neighbors from my childhood were also aunts and uncles. I still call all those people those titles, they are in their 70s and 80s and I am in my 50s.

This gives me hope really that there are only a finite amount of a**holes willing to be brown shirts.

I titer my pets for the annual vaccines but I give them the lyme vaccine and leptosporisis every year and rabies every 3. It mortifies some dog owning friends that I do that. But then they tell me their dog has Lyme. And I say, mine doesn't. πŸ€·β€β™€οΈ

I'm a pretty bad sleeper anyway lately so I'm accustomed to being exhausted, but it's pretty brutal today. πŸ˜†

I think it’s safe to say WaPo is not longer legitimate.

I was so sad to see this. Local to our area, we've eaten at his family's place many times. Hoping he is home quickly.

But he had such a beautiful wedding in Venice and he put Katy Perry in space! πŸ™„

Because Trump spends his weekends chopping wood and fixing the sink then goes to church and sits in the first pew with his family. πŸ™„

I think it's a little funny, not funny ha ha but funny INSANE, that the most important coverage is the freaking Ballroom!! Because the diva president is most vested in the Ballroom!! You can still cover the murders in the Caribbean and ice kidnapping people but lay off the dance club.

I think the ballroom is very visual. You can see the destruction, the rose garden that he just finished is now gone 6 months later. I guess if anything would break through it's going to be a demolition of 1/3 of the White House.

My MAGA family members are still defending it. Glad not everyone's are.

He's not wrong, he is the Speaker and the President.

He thinks democratic protesters are terrorists too and all I saw were suburban families so forgive me if I don’t believe his definition of terrorist.

He doesn’t have friends either. It’s all lies.

He means there were no children’s hospitals because he wasn’t sick and he didn’t have enough empathy for kids who were sick to find out that there were.

I prefer Advil for mine but I also really like these cooling patches. It seems to take the edge off when meds aren’t enough. Also drink water and enough caffeine if you are a regular caffeine drinker.

Putin has one and Trump is using him as a dictator mentor.

Name the wars, name the leaders. Why don’t journalists ask what are the wars? He doesn’t know.

Same reason every cashier now asks for your phone number. Same reason Elon wanted to head up DOGE because our personal information is valuable. Protecting privacy might be a good thing to run on.
