Local communities will cover the SNAP deficiencies via donations because most Americans are not monsters. The federal government already has the money to keep SNAP going, but Trump won't spend it. So we'll pay twice; once in taxes and now in donations. Bc he IS a monster.

I love this site for putting articles like this before us.

So, Elon says the kebab man is an Orc. I've had my suspicions confirmed.

Of Elon.

It strikes me that requiring any federal employee to work without pay is involuntary servitude. The XIII Amendment has something to say about that.

Once had the eye of a hurricane pass directly over our house. The winds & rain stopped so I did a quick check outside for damage. It was weird. Everything was absolutely still. Not a breeze. Not a sound. No movement. The color & shape of the sky were surreal.

Isn't making "essential" federal employees come to work without pay involuntary servitude banned by the XIII Amendment?

I miss the old-style mechanical voting machines. Where you pulled the big handle to close the curtain, clicked in your vote, then pulled the handle back again to register it. "Take THAT, you bastard!"

As i read it,
1. The AI reported "Gun!"
2. School called the cops.
3. THEN the school double-checked the AI, found a false positive & called the cops off.
4. But the cops were already responding & followed thru. Strikes me as proper procedure by the cops.

Lucky it wasn't Skittles in Florida.

Observing him & as a Vietnam vet, I'm sorta glad that ol' Donnie TACO ducked out of military service. If he'd gone in, I'm sure he'd have been an incompetent Milo Minderbinder wannabe. And probably gotten some good men killed.

We've been seeing several examples of non-detonating Russian FPV's. Shoddy workmanship, shitty parts, untrained operators, Chinese con job or ... sabotage?

Coffee prices soaring.

GOP can take our jobs, our health care, our schools, our votes. Put goons on the street, split families, exile citizens.

Half the country: meh.

But take our coffee & there'll be REVOLUTION in the air.

Does anyone really think the Bigass Ballroom will be built?

Trump is going to leave it a worksite, partial build not up to code, tied up in lawsuits, money gone, donors withdrawn, the next First Lady's or Gentleman's office homeless.

A white elephant gotcha on America.

I've been saying this for years. As I watch inflation shrink my fixed income retirement. As I worry about access to medicine. As children go hungry. As mothers work to pay for childcare so they can work. As people are murdered daily. I say what we really need is a big ass ballroom.

When will Trump supporters realize that he doesn't need them any more so fuck 'em?

I'm sure there was a disgruntled SS train guard or two. But they still guarded the trains. And the trains still arrived.

Yeah, if's probably all those after-church covered dish suppers.

I'm almost certain there now exists in Venezuela a planning group working on how to take out a cruise ship loaded with Americans.

I have a similar back problem. Using a TENS unit on the road & after I stop gives me a lot of relief.

Long, long ago, I once drove 987 miles in one day , GA-TX, in a flippin' Volkswagen. Stopped for the night, ordered a beer w/dinner. Waitress: "We're dry." Saddest words ever.

Not shown in photo: stealthed American attack sub which has been tracking it since the moment it sailed.

It bothers me that some comments here follow the line that he should be treated more harshly not for what he did but for who he is. No. That's fascist logic.

At 0:05, we see the original Confederate national flag (Mar-Dec, 1861). Deliberate or oops?
