While it seems to drag at times, life is really moving at warp speed. Surviving Vietnam convinced me that time was precious, so I only dropped into the mainstream when I ran out of money to enjoy my time.

GOP knows they can't win on issues. They are transitioning into a fear based campaign based on Islamophobia. A short war with Iran will be their springboard. 2024 it was a non-existent border crisis, 26 will be Muslims. Fear is all they got.

Not my president. I disavow him.

The sounds like it's an opportunity for Trump to write an executive order that prohibits us investors moving their money to offshore investments and offshore investors prohibited from pulling money out of us investments. Got to love his warped version of capitalism.

Everything Trump claims to be able to do is actually the functions of Congress. He is only able to proceed because Congress has abrogated its rights

Part of the chains that bind ordinary citizens is tax policy.

@lacentrist.bsky.social doctors abusing angels 3-0 after one inning. Is it too early to predict 162-0 for the season. I remember last season making that prediction after about 10 games.

As a committed introvert and minimalist I can attest to this statement. I don't want to be a sheep and I will not be a wolf until you tread on me.

Vietnam left me with a deep appreciation of the value of time and the fleeting nature of life. I never started a company to make a job for myself, it was always to create jobs for others while building it to a size that it was saleable and I could return to playing. I like to build not maintenance

I was a reluctant boss. Nothing I hated more than going to NYC for analyst meetings. I liked building companies and designing growth supporting cash flow systems, delegated everything else.

That sounds better than my conclusion that it's a genetic lack of the empathy gene.

Not a great time in my life. Despised by my generation which I expected to reject materialism while continuing to push for universal civil rights codified in 64. Instead they succumbed to accumulating status symbols while voting against programs that allowed others to rise out of poverty.

Brown skin and Hispanic surname. Cornyn and Cruz don't represent them, they suppress their votes to stay in power.

Good thing trump is complicating women's right to vote so they can't replace these gerbils with democrats.

This was true in 67 when the wealthy predator class sent me to Vietnam and it's still true today. Rich kids played golf while we crawled through rice paddies.

Is It a Crime to Cross the U.S. Border Without Permission or Gain Entry By Fraud? Illegal entry (or "improper entry") to the US carries criminal penalties (fines and jail or prison time), in addition to civil penalties and immigration consequences

I saw this article on immigration laws and it looks like the big ugly bill did more than give tax breaks to billionaires. It also created the legal structure for chasing people beyond 100 miles from the border. www.alllaw.com/articles/nol...

What can pile them up behind the White House until they have a truck load that they can send to Trump's golf course conversion where he needs to build obstacles

I would propose appointing Buttigieg. Sounds crazy but Toooberville has been senator in Alabama for five years while living in Florida.

In the land of the free we have the freedom to make inconceivably ignorant decisions that impact our children. In our patriarchy system children are property. When I see these stories I wonder if the people have too much exposure to the internet and whether we really do better having it.

The last congressional hearing I thought was productive was the J6 Committee. Mostly hearings are performative to keep people from focusing on the class war instead of cultural issues. In the senate it was Select Committee report on Russian interference in 2016 elections.

I don't think when he read about the Boston Tea Party he understood Americans were objecting to taxes without representation. They called them tariffs.
