Thank you Monica! I will start fb-ing shortly!

This will backfire on republicans. Bet.

Naturally, but the GOP and their MAGA fluffers on social media will have nothing to say about this, and Mike Johnson will pretend not to see this story until 2029.

Wow. Auto correct has started inserting random words into my otherwise correct sentences. Most recently Aleena day. Anyone know her?

Don’t worry. I’m sure they’ve each found another grift.

YouTube video by The Kennedy Center Maria Bamford: "Why does everything have to be so good?" | Aug. 19, 2023

Exclusive | Hegseth Asked Top Admiral to Resign After Months of Discord The relationship between the Pentagon chief and Adm. Alvin Holsey had been rocky since Trump’s inauguration.

The future of the Democratic Party must be rooted in investing in the American people — not Wall St., corporations, and consultants.

Otherwise, Trumpism will continue to use cynicism, racism, and distrust to divide America.

This is my question…nearly every Trump appointee, including the SC darlings, have committed perjury during their hearings or additional testimony. Is perjury no longer going to be prosecuted? Should I feel free to commit perjury if ever sworn in?

And by excusing this second strike, the daily strikes now seem to be deemed justified despite the fact that we are not at war, the drugs are not coming to the U.S. and the whole thing is just a ruse to seize a bunch of oil and give MAGA some sweet sociopathic ecstasy. We are a rogue superpower.

I can see that. Though the subjectivity tends to make the reader feel challenged trying to “construct” its mmeaning.

I'm putting a Starter Pack together later. There's plenty of room left if you'd like to be included, let me know.
