We have been using "Chock Full of Nuts" NY Roast for years, usually we get two large cans a month. Last month it cost $11.55 each this month it cost $21.92 each.. So much winning or so we are told.. fucking liars all.

I think El Trumpo is taking over South Station (AMTRAK) in Boston as well, coincidentally that is a refuge for the homeless on very cold nights... Trump and his cabal do not like the homeless because they are not "pretty". Empathy does not exist in the MAGA world because that is considered "woke".

That makes perfect sense as his administration is one of the few that have never had any of his inner circle/staff been alleged to commit a crime... For a MAGA troglodyte your response is predictable and stupid as why would you jail someone who has never committed a crime. Noem rationale I suspect.

Consider what is happening in RI, huge investment in offshore wind farms.. that project was 80% complete and this week Trump stopped the funding. Who will absorb that cost?? The consumer of course. That wind project was projected to power 350K homes..

Big fucking deal, if we want change show the carnage so the American people can understand how lethal and damaging these weapons are. Maybe then change can happen, make it real. Always think about 11 year old Maite Rodriguez of Uvalde, they only way they could ID her was by her sneakers..

Not at all surprised, the only thing that surprises me is that it took too long..

What they should do now is take pix of the carnage and show the world how deadly these weapons are.. Not doing so makes it exist in a parallel universe. I always revert to Uvalde and the only way they could ID 11 year old Maite Rodriguez was by her sneakers.. show the bodies.

Do not generalize about grandparents.. I am one and have many contemporaries who are not very happy with Trump and his cabal..

My guess is Trump's bruising on his hands is due to long term use of blood thinners, which may be suggestive of congestive heart failure... That along with swollen ankles are tells... He doctors all lie for him...

Media/press knew most of Trump's sexual predatory behavior in '16 (including teen rape), but chose not to report it. Why does this country have such difficulty believing victimized women?? Not just one woman has alleged this behavior, but many have come forth and there still is denial.

All media/news reflects the biases and politics of their corporate overlords.. Consider the never ending brouhaha over Biden's miscues and sometimes verbal faux pas, Trump does that daily and nary a whisper from our complicit media/press.

This bill will result in more poor, particularly folks of color, in prisons and the rich will not be consequated.. There used to graffiti in the Arlington St. Boston Subway Station that said: "There's more crime in the suites than in the streets"... I suspect this bill will outlaw the homeless..

For 3 hours and 16 minutes Trump's cabinet engaged in the gentle massaging and washing his testicles.. he did not even have to take a "blue pill" after that meeting.
