This is called foreshadowing...

The question 'Is the President for sale?' should never be able to be answered, 'Well duh', but here we are...

Minnesota outlawed the death penalty, which is a good thing, but is kind of a shame at this point in time...

...One Nation, terribly divided, with liberty and justice for an elite few...

There, now I can recite the pledge.

Dr. Robert Shapiro On How Trump Is Pushing America Towards Economic And Geopolitical Ruin Whatever pathetic about-face Trump did today in Davos America is going to pay a very steep economic and security cost for his rancid betrayal of Europe

Breathtaking mismanagement....

Here is a discussion that very clearly highlights the dangers that POTUS has put the nation in.

I am endlessly thankful for the media personalities like Aaron Rupar and others who listen to T's blathering so I don't have to...

He is the Dip in Diplomacy...

Diplomacy = Not saying the stuff you REALLLLY want to say...

Just there over the holidays. Such a wonderful town! You would never guess that pretty building houses a Starbucks.

Trump is a dementia-addled, dangerous megalomaniac. 535 elected officials, that work for us, can end this nightmare - Greenland, ICE - TOMORROW 😡. Their phone number is (202) 224-3121

Three coffins wrapped in Danish flags are carried by 4-6 soldiers each; a cargo aircraft is in the background

I think a good strategy for your non-leftist social media presence (ie everywhere but here) is to give this photo - the remains of Danish soldiers returning in coffins after being killed in America's war in Afghanistan - as wide an audience as possible. Remind people who we're betraying

Just having fun imagining how much of a meltdown MAGA would have if in 2028 America elected Pete Buttigieg and Jasmine Crockett to the White House. 🤣

It would be glorious!

Stripping the US/World for parts...

Food for thought and action....

Is it any wonder I can't sleep? (2:01am)

Walz activated National Guard, while Pentagon readies 1,500 troops for deployment to Minnesota...

ICE was in the neighborhood around my ELL/Dual Language elementary school. More than half the students were absent, not because their parents are illegal, but because their parents are SCARED. I left school in tears of RAGE. These are hardworking, loving families. Many helped the US in Afghanistan.

ICE was at a local high school today (Central Florida) rounding up students. Teachers were told that if they notified students they would be charged with obstruction and detained. The anger just keeps growing as America slides further towards despotism!!!

Right now, the wellness industry is largely accepted and surprisingly trusted.

It thrives off of our broken healthcare system. You don’t get this kind of acceptance of junk science without deep, deep structural problems.

But it’s chock full of grift.

I could also go for curry chapstick...

So, my local grocery store's bakery has made it clear I am not allowed to play patty cake there ever again...

We are clearly seeing that even non-absolute power can corrupt absolutely. The orange makeup fool didn't even win the majority of the vote and is far weaker than they pretend...

When we installed the system it wasn't economical, but it is getting better every year. Might get one in the next couple of years.

Starting to notice some disturbing similarities between Emperor Nero and the orange idiot...

Will probably end the same way.

Heading to Zurich over spring break on a whim. Never knew melty cheese was so big there until we started Google mapping around the town. I guess Zurich is fondue heaven. Can't wait!

I had no power bill for 6 years after putting up our pv system, but in the past year they stopped paying us the retail rate so see bills of around $50 mo. Solar is still the way to go.
