Tr**p is enamored with a ”new word.” It was first used 115 years ago, and its root word dates to 1647.

Johnny Carson was the Nostradamus of late night talk. From Dec. 1984:

I just spent 15 min. searching for an email from a client. I was certain I had rec'd it yesterday! I was about to write and admit I'd lost them when I thought to check my phone. They were in a text message!

I'm embarrassed to say, this is not the first time this has happened to me.

I don’t follow professional football, but I always suspected many of the Cowboy fans were just bandwagon fans. I do follow college football, and I can tell you that for a fact about Alabama fans.

Clearly, ESPN is having trouble filling its time slots. People ruining around in bubbles trying to score “moon points” and other such nonsense.

What happens when college football games are only for the rich? Some faithful fans are finding out Special moments and memories attending college football games are priceless — until they aren't.

This really hit home. I gave up Tennessee football season tickets a few years ago after 35 years. It’s hard to passionately love a blatantly commercial enterprise. That’s one reason why I have never been an NFL fan. College sports used to be something special to a lot of us. @nytimes.com

There are gas logs up in my attic that were used by the original owner. A subsequent owner took them out and reverted to wood. I have always preferred wood too. But as an ex-Boy Scout, I am disappointed if I can’t start a fire with one match. So I did install a gas starter a few years ago.

My first fire was Sunday night!

What a kind post. I’m so sorry for the global threat posed by our deranged leader. Thank you for standing with average Americans.

This story moved me.

Over a century of building alliances is being sh*t upon by Tr**p.

This quote sums it up:

“The UN’s human rights chief, Volker Türk, said last month that the strikes violate international law and amount to ‘extrajudicial killing.’ The UK agrees with that assessment, the sources told CNN.”

Would-be dictator with horrible combover betrayed by the wind.

I just watched Cadet Bone Spurs speaking at Arlington national Cemetery on a windy Veterans Day. (A speech dripping with unintended irony.)

But it was hard to pay attention because I was certain that object that lives on top of his head was about to reach Vr and become airborne.

I worked in an airline ramp tower controlling the taxi of up to 100 aircraft to and from our ramp during a one hour launch. Our ramp was bigger than many airports and delays were expensive. Quite stressful.

If Cadet Bone Spurs worked for me, I’d be scared to even let him make the coffee.

Did it ever occur to you that your Corps might be called upon one day to occupy American cities?

QFT.

This is me. I’m afraid to check the enrollment site. With subsidies I’m currently paying appx. $700/mo. If this triples, I may be uninsured for 10 months until I reach Medicare age.

Semper Fi

Why These Vichy Dems and Their Spineless Boss Need to Go Now We need courage and clarity from our leaders. Schumer and these eight in the Senate have shown they have failed that test. Time to turn the page.

I’m a lifelong Democrat. But as a student of history, I have to say the term “Vichy Dems” seems very appropriate today.

Done.

Casual reminder that the myth of “pulling yourself up by your bootstraps” is a cruel hoax designed to convince poor people from all walks of life that the injustices they face are a result of their own actions, rather than an oppressive system rigged against them.

Yes, Mr. President: You’re right. We do have “the worst health care” of any major country.

Despite spending twice as much per capita, we are the only major country not to guarantee health care to all as a human right.

The solution: Medicare for All.

Not to quibble with the OP, but even the people we call “native Americans” migrated here via a land bridge from Siberia over 10,000 years ago. But I get the point.

I’m not sure that vacuous vessel understood it was false. That requires critical thinking and discernment. And reading proficiency.

I wouldn’t trust him to be ass’t manager at a grocery store if I owned one. Never mind him tapping the till— He couldn’t even place an order for a case of peas.

Waffles this morning with maple syrup.

If you choose to eat hotdogs and cannot grill them, please use an air fryer. In fact, they are just about as good as any hotdog I’ve ever grilled.

Meanwhile, CEOs make 280 times the typical worker today.

The system is rigged.

You’re damned fucking right, we will— you sniveling, seditious bastard.

I had a run in with ICE snatching a man out of his car while walking my children to school this morning in NW DC

I asked a neighbor to continue walking my kids to school and I turned back to document and confront the ICE agents.

I am in contact with @dcmigrantmutualaid.org with the full video.

Starbucks refuses to listen or obey labor laws — and that’s why 92% of union baristas voted to authorize a strike.

Stand in solidarity with Starbucks workers who may soon strike: find your coffee alternative and don’t shop at Starbucks if baristas strike.

Can this screen get any busier? We have a ”text chain,” a shut down timer, a big chyron across the bottom, a news ticker, and a financial market ticker. Oh— and the dude I’m trying to listen to. It’s distracting and stilly.
