Most great dramatic actors are far less funny in comedic roles then they imagine themselves to be. Not Graham Greene. He never let you catch him working for a laugh.

Project 2025 is A-OK with them? The gutting of social security & medicare. The tariffs. They approve? They really think all of this is good? Is that what is assumed is meant by the approval rating? If so, what the fuck is happening in the heads of those people? 2/2

37% approve. What exactly do they approve of? I mean, do they think he’s a good guy doing a good job and has no issue with the way he and his staff are behaving toward people who live in the country? They believe in the cuts to the programs, and infrastructure? Noem, Miller, Musk, 1/2

I hear it said 37% disapproval rating for 47 is really underwater. But all I can think about is how can 37% of this country support the atrocities and un-American activities of this regime. What the fuck is going on with those people? Please offer your insight. It fills me with despair. 1/3

Russia tried to assassinate the President of European Commission Ursula von der Leyen by jamming her plane while landing. So far Europe has ignored the issue as to not give Russia the attention it wants and to quietly prevent themselves from reacting to this significant escalation by the Kremlin.

BEGGING. Be involved at local & state levels. So much of what we see at the national level starts at school boards, council chambers & state houses. But state & local is where your voice is loudest and most effective. And where we are more likely to put a stop to this stuff before it gets to SCOTUS
