I make art out of toys, books and records; how fun is that? I also write software because my brain needs exercise.

So… he dismisses the cases without the opportunity for prosecution, then demands to be paid? That ain’t right.

It’s cute/sad/pathetic/exasperating how Trump pretends he is some kind of expert on construction. Sadly, the GOP senators chuckle and go along with his ridiculous claims.

We’re currently building an addition to our historic 1927 home, which requires months and months of review, and the one window being removed (along with some clay roof tiles) must be preserved and stored forever.
Trump just had a junk piled.

Doesn’t this undergone any kind of historical review? They should be preserving every window, every corner, and basically anything that is removed in the event that a later president or society wants to reestablish the historical significance of the building. This is an absolute abomination.

Nice to see that the Speaker of the House has no idea what the word "irony" means.

ICE's use of full-body restraints during deportations raises concerns over inhumane treatment U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers have been using a full-body restraint device called the WRAP during deportations.

Sadists. Truly sick people.

ICE is thoroughly un-American.

Don't you want to knowβ€”as I doβ€”how many of these armed, masked, warrantless, insignia-less, nameless, essentially untrained Big Government goons are Proud Boys, Oath Keepers, Three Percenters and other J6 runoff? apnews.com/article/immi...

It’s time for soft secession How blue states can use their economic clout to stand up to Trump’s agendaβ€”starting with California.

California is the 4th largest economy in the world. It’s time it and other blue states used their economic clout to fight Trump’s agenda.

Senate Dems: Don't cave! And explain the big picture! Friends,

My advice to Democrats today and assuming the government shuts down at midnight tonight?

Don't cave! Tell the public what’s at stake.

After this crazy address by Trump to military brass, I doubt any military general or admiral would follow one of his orders.
