So, there's more people here than there was way back in Sep 2023. Cool. Now I can leave Nazi Elmo's Ketamine Jungle (formerly known as twitter) for good...

Very likely the case in close-in burbs of Northeast/MidAtlantic/MountainWest/WestCoast, not really the case in huge chunks of upper Midwest, south coasts, southwest. Abortion rights not driving the electoral bus in the way you think

Trump Privately Frets He Could Be Headed to Prison Donald Trump has a burning question for his confidants and attorneys: Would he have to him wear “one of those jumpsuits” in prison?

“IN THE PAST several months, Donald Trump has had a burning question for some of his confidants and attorneys:

Would the authorities make him wear ‘one of those jumpsuits’…” if they managed to actually ever imprison him?

I’ve had a signed 1st ed of Profiles in Courage for 25+ years. It’s pretty cool. But tbh, I’ve opened it 3-4x in that span. I also have every issue of Spy Magazine from 86-90. I read them at least once a year. Not sure what that says about me but I think it’s good.

And by “this mess” I mean everything everywhere since the short fingered vulgarian came down the escalator

It’s not lost on me that if just a few more of those Granite State R’s would have just clapped when asked we wouldn’t be in this mess.

Something has seriously fucked with the universe when I spend more time on zoom mtgs strategizing around environmental groups fighting wind and solar projects more than pipelines and fracking. On same call, Told R support 4 renewables is fine- “property rights”- can we please get our act together?

We have a lot of animals hanging around the house and yard, meet our rescue squirrels. Came to us as orphan newborns (because somehow we ended up some list of people who will answer the door when you have orphaned, wild baby animals) and now they run around and eat our walnuts and climb up our legs

Cool, a new social platform. Was wondering what to do with all my spare time. Let’s start with a pic of my dog, Moose.
