I read the Mueller Report. The book is always better than the movie.
Now that we’ve attacked Iran, allowing masked armed men to patrol our streets provides an opportunity for Iranian sleeper cells in the US.
Given the turmoil we are living in, I thought my golden could help. She is now a certified therapy dog.
Wonder if there are Russians in this group? How would you know?
Just like Mexico paid for the wall.
The only way to make sense of all the chaos of our government is through our adversaries eyes. What would destroy American hegemony? Ah, now our policies make sense. Less healthy, wealthy, and safe. Got it.
Maybe Darwin at work?
If the cruel won’t kill us, the incompetence will. Are we great yet? FFS
It’s part of a multi-pronged attack on the US to make us weaker. Instability makes America weaker economically, politically, sociologically, and psychologically on both a personal and collective level. It’s as simple as Maslow. Poorer, less safe from foreign and domestic threats to our liberty.
I guess MTG forgot her own behavior breaching decorum. Can dish it but can’t take it?
Then let’s put it in economic terms. Why do we spend more on a prisoner a year than a child in a year? Who benefits? Who loses? And, who pays the cost of that lost investment in our people???
He has always been a projectionist.
Thinking maybe the women were right.
Holy moly.
Too bad, so sad.
Trump pushes back on tariff criticism: ‘Don’t be a Panican’ Source: The Hill. Stable genius hard at work.
Lansing, MI today #handsoff
Omg! Wtf? Weak beef? These are not serious people.
Ignorance of the law is no excuse
They should go the way of cigarette ads
Please include Michigan!
How I went out in public today.
Let’s face it. Our most wealthy citizens benefitted from the stability our country has provided for their economic pursuits. They are so wealthy that they have become completely untethered to America’s longevity. Their success no longer is dependent on the success or stability of our nation.
Fafo. No sympathy for what her choice has done to others.
The social compact is not worth the paper it’s printed on. We are walking ourselves into a state of nature. Social compacts answer the question, “how should we live together.” Trump has violated the social compact when he fomented an insurrection on Jan 6 and then pardoned them.
America - where up is down and in is out. Wonder where this may lead? Knowledge of human behavior and history may be instructive.
Eggs. My mom couldn’t find any yesterday. I made sure to pick some up today. Ironic, isn’t it? Those who were complaining about the price will now be joined by those who could afford it but cannot find any.
Remember, the US Constitution sets the floor on rights. States can provide more individual protections.
Buckle up buttercups! We are going to need each other more than you can imagine.
Ah but those blue donor states are what enable the red states to take more in federal money than they give.
Walking among giants.
Can’t help but think we have entered the second Gilded Age. I have heard from many who are worried about the future of our country, but then state that they will be okay. Lest they forget, capitalism needs stability.
My wish is that the current administration releases the whole thing. Read it but so many pages were blacked out. Then again, who would read it but those of us who see through the con and gift.
My take, simplified: “You can’t save stupid when they aren’t interested in learning.”
"If a nation expects to be ignorant and free, in a state of civilization, it expects what never was and never will be. If we are to guard against ignorance and remain free, it is the responsibility of every American to be informed." — Thomas Jefferson
The death of expertise. Educators have been on the front lines of this attack for years. Knowledge is not valued. Welcome to the club!
Just deactivated from the other place and it feels so good.
45 degrees outside doesn’t get in the way of fishing!
Yesterday I started on my to do list in preparation for Jan 20. Spent $700 at Costco for a 6 month supply of protein and veggies. What are you doing to prepare?
I will use my human superpower to adapt to my realities. I cannot help you if you don’t see what this election says about our nation. You chose not to know. Ignorance is bliss; enjoy it.
What have we wrought? For me, values/morals trump party, family, and friendships. For others, family is everything and assume that blood is a ticket to acceptance.
Human beings are meaning makers and problem solvers. Adaptability is a human superpower. We are all adapting and see what others don’t.
