I just wrote to both of my WA senators asking them not to cave and to apply heavy pressure to other Democratic senators to not cave. I hope I’m not screaming into the void.

If you know *any* great musicians, you can get to another great musician in a couple of hops. They all seem to know each other.

There should be age limits for all government employees including politicians, judges, and appointees. It would make situations like this less likely. Let those past that age be advisors, substitutes (like senior judges), etc.

I was thinking the same. I have a poster of James Arness as The Thing that I got at a small theater screening several decades ago.

Pete Hegseth was 20 years old a year before the 9-11 attack. Sooooo… Trump was talking to Pete then?

That’s a sign of successful parenting. I felt the same pride when my daughter moved away after college, found her own jobs, and made her own purchases.

What items associated with Trump’s life does Trump have to give to King Charles? A red cap? A golden toilet?
