Wake up, babe, the least subtle visual metaphor in history just dropped

Many people are outraged that Trump is demolishing part of the White House. Wheres the injunction?
ACECO LLC of Silver Spring MD ("full-service demolition") that is tearing down the HISTORIC Protected #EastWing. You can call them and let them know how you feel.

This is what it’s like when you’re in an abusive relationship and you mourn for the life you once knew as someone with more power slowly destroys the most important things in your life right in front of you and you have to continue to be the bigger person and strategically plan an exit.

Merrifield Garden Center, a place I love to visit and shop, will be closing because the land is worth more as a data-center...........

Fed household here. I'm all for caring for others, I did not vote for any of this...but if continuing this shutdown means going hungry and falling behind on our mortgage to keep the idiots from suffering the consequences of their actions...I'm not okay with that.

The only people who hate America are the ones refusing to take care of our tired, poor, and weak.

A cartoon crow is looking up as orange, red and yellow fall leaves dance in tje wind around him.

The crow is walking on the crunchy leaves, saying "what a perfect day!"

The crow is marveling at how lovely all the leaves are, new seeing a stone in his path.

The crow trips on the stone right on his face.

Mike Johnson is more concerned with protecting pedophiles than doing his actual job.

The iconic astronaut on the moon photo with the MTV flag at full mast
