Well, when you have a president who doesnโ€™t believe any laws apply to him and a majority of voters and legislators and judges who agree โ€ฆ Well, suffice it to say weโ€™re screwed. And that does make me sad.

I'm not going to get into an indoor vs. outdoor cat debate but I want to point out that Jan - Mar is coyote mating season in North America, which means coyotes are more agitated and territorial and therefore an increased danger to outdoor cats. Make the best decisions you can for your pets, please.

This Christmas, I have just one wish for you:
Take a moment to really see the older people in your life.
Let them know theyโ€™re loved, valued, and never invisible.
Share a smile with an elder you donโ€™t know.
Offer a warm holiday greeting.
Small gestures carry enormous power.
Love,โ€จ

I want every single solitary Republican in every elected office in every corner of this country to be asked about Donald Trumpโ€™s post about Rob Reiner.
They like to cloak themselves in religionโ€ฆ
Then read it to them.
Donโ€™t let them say they โ€œdidnโ€™t see it.โ€

Let them โ€œdefendโ€ it.

Trump responds to Rob Reinerโ€™s death in the most Trumpian way possible The president could have said nothing, but his worst instincts appeared to get the better of him.

When Paul Pelosi was nearly murdered, and Trump responded with conspiracy theories and jokes, it reminded the world that Trump is a man devoid of grace and decency.

Targeting Rob Reiner, he did it again, digging a hole in the bottom of the barrel and falling even further.

The murder of Emmett Till in 1955 is well known, but I had no idea of the story of his father, Louis Till, till this morning, when I stumbled into while browsing about cemeteries in France that hold the internments of WW2 American war criminals.

Buckle in, this one is messier. #chicago

Over on the Facebook, you can bet that whether it's ICE brutalizing immigrant toddlers, or the US military mass-murdering civilians in international waters, every person cheering it on makes sure that you know they are a "Christian" in their profile. Every. Single. One.

And donโ€™t forget, Supreme Court basically gave him a free pass for life.

MAMDANIโ€™S Transition Team in NYC will be led by 5 women :-)}

Women are 51% of the population, 70% of the poor, 83% of single parents, do 66% of the work, produce 50% of the food, earn just 11% of the pay, and own only 1% of the land.

But how about the 1964 World Series? Almost 23-year-old Timmy hit .478 including decisive 3-run homer in Game 5! Yeah, I know he was better player than announcer, but St. Louis fans embraced him in final years on Cardinals TV network.

I'm not religious, but what the hell happened to "Thou shalt not lie (bare false witness...)"? Seems like christianity has an awful lot of flexibility for these smug assholes...
