it's complicated. Some of these folks do need to be committed. Some of them are harmless and don't want to be so you can't just randomly put them "away". The community care program (under Reagan) backfired in a spectacular way.
No DMs! No MAGAs. Trying to make it through the next 4 years in peace and make it out with my family and all of our lives intact. Simple dreams. Retired NP. Refugee from X

That is my view.
Jesus Christ. all for his stupid ego.
God I hope that's true.
I looked it up. the hotels are wide open, there are no huge crowds coming to this thing.
I am seeing wee hints of push back.
does make me wonder what ER visit prompted this warning?
trump did not say that statement with saddened in it. I'm sorry, NFW.
I am going to be 69 and even though I have good genes, overall and may get lucky, my friend and I were talking and said we won't see the US come back in our lifetimes.
we need many, many, more folks like her.
how about the 2 year old citizen deported? I think these 2 latest fascist moves are trial balloons to see what he can get away with.
be louder. Ads constantly. all over the waves.
but even more. and yes they are but they would go totally whoop ass on the government with a shut down and yes, they are also doing that now but it would be yet more!
I don't know about that. I think that, if there was a shut down, it would just give Trump and Musk carte blanche to do literally whatever the fuck they wanted to do and claim all of the federal government is unnecessary. Terrible choice but I think the right one.
I pulled my TSP as soon as that motherfucker won. I paid nothing to move it (but I am retired so...) and pay nothing to my financial advisor. I just didn't want him anywhere near my money.
quietly keep the wheels on the bus. no understanding at all.
my heart breaks for them, for you, for all federal employees. I am a retired fed. am somewhat shocked over how, even some VA federal employees (Trumpers) are not even thinking about other federal employees right now but they will get theirs. already are. Nobody understands that federal employees 1/
the first part, not so sure. the you need to go away part, definitely.
to be clear, not the FBI guy. Thank God for him!
they weren't ready last time. they are ready this time.
Alright folks, here we go! Ask me anything, 30ish mins, gogo!
people really don't understand just how bad this is.
are they working? does anyone know?
there were issues prior but it started, in earnest, with the escalator.
retired fed here. I really don't think most people understand just how bad things are.
it protects your identity as well.
@oknox.bsky.social so the Trump administration is pushing this narrative that if the tax cuts are not continued, our taxes will go up 22%. do you remember them going down 22%? I sure don't. I looked this up and I have found no evidence of this at all, went down 2-4%. can you look into this?
is Jane Austen still alive, lol!!
I love this - what a great shot.
I don't know - it's all yes people now.
as I know you know, the line "I will stop drinking if I get the job" is a very worrisome line. He has no training for this job. It is very high pressure. I doubt he'll be able to do this job and it will exacerbate his drinking behavior.
@julie-mason-stan.bsky.social you are really a good interviewer. just thought I'd say that. You are well prepared and you get people to say what they may have not wanted to say because you are disarming with your interview style.
this is literally one of the worst, if not the worst, stories I have ever seen. What a cruel, cruel person.
and they aren't running the government.
with the prison where he will wind up? This will probably be available. somehow he got a haircut before court in NYC today.
this dude is going to have a hard time keeping those eyebrows under control in prison. that ought to slow this crap down.
the old folks need to go. I am 68. I retired at 65, at least in part, to give younger folks a chance. I was replaced at the VA by an awesome PA with a young family. I am so happy for him and happy he got the job. I think it's really selfish to stay unless you have no choice at all.
is there some way to get politicians to STOP SENDING ME TEXTS! I can stop them after the fact but the election is over FFS. I can't stand it and it's making me crazy. is there a way to get rid of this? Between the emails and texts, I am feeling really hostile about it.
just read about Black Doves. sounds worth it!
it's just really cool beans. I love little side studies because it's yours and yours alone!
love this. love you are studying this. So interesting!
this guy will get off. at the very least, he will do no time. won't happen. Too much money there.
honestly, I would take one look at that guy and think nope. He's a jerk.
he looks like an arrogant prick.
he looks like an arrogant dick though.
yeah but it does make me wonder - having had a husband who had a catastrophic surgical emergency (gi) with prolonged delirium and a 3 month hospitalization - no overt brain event but it, alone, has changed him somewhat and he's still recovering. the brain is a tricky thing as you know.
great.
yeah, I am not sure what the deal is with Fetterman. I do wonder what residual cognitive issues might be lingering since his stroke in 2022.
I get so sick of how MDs are getting blamed for everything. I am an NP but I have enough physician friends that I know how much this has changed over the years. Dramatically.
I can't believe this fucking guy is at NOTRE DAME! He doesn't care or understand the significance of this cathedral at all. No appreciation. I can't stand it.
it's funny!
this is funny but, for real, I was thinking how this guy is still missing and I think it's because no one is giving him up. If I knew this guy was defending his family or was a flipped out provider who had been on the phone for hours on end, would I rat him out? I don't think so.
I can't tell you how many new moms have binged that show because it is ALWAYS ON! I was so into it while up in the middle of the night but then stopped after that phase was over and then I found out how many infant moms did the same thing!
"I'll stop drinking if you give me the job".
FAFO.
Eisenhower. Kennedy's looks like puke, honestly.
lol, sure.
as it should. I mean, hopefully, if we are going to launch a large protest, it should be against these soul sucking deniers to people just trying to get health care.
well, yeah, that was ridiculous. they do not understand medicine at all.
UHC sucks balls. Whoever did this had a good reason, I guarantee.
done! its a great cause.
well put altogether.
I hate that a lot of colleges do this. Why deprive these students of a place to stay over Christmas? For sure I would have had no place to go if I was in that situation but I started in community college so no living arrangements available and I rented a room.
interesting. I read some criticism of her specifically but thanks for your feedback. I will ignore what I read and go see it over the holidays. thanks! I saw the musical. Amazing.
ERs have panic buttons.
am hearing some mixed things about it. first, LONG!! Secondly Ariana is pretty weak? do you think this affected your enjoyment? we had a waiter on Friday and he loved it. Saw it three times and he was such a sweetie it made me lean more into seeing it at the theater. did you see the musical?
this is idiocy on the part of the parents.
that's been my approach.
you mean the Dems might do something clever? I hope so!!
ignore and block them.
FAFO!!!!
this is exactly why I have been saying ignore them. they're boring!! not worth a sentence.
NINE FUCKING YEARS OF THE GUY.
it's fine, of course, but I am more interested in what she is saying about the people she is working with. Good on her!
coffee, obviously my family! good friends many books just getting interested in horses. have always been scared of them. needlework hiking visiting, trying to get back to basics politics dreams of a better world!
The Snow Child by Ivey. I loved it.
It is really the most beautiful are up there. I love BC.
This ER doc works in NYC but maybe not referring to there? So there was a spread that started in NY but then moved west and was about 800 and I think primarily started in an orthodox Jewish community in 2019. to be clear, his point was not to insult a community but to support vaccination.
stunned to learn that that one unvaccinated child who came in to NY caused over 800 measles cases and, I think, $8.3 million dollars to the area.
a great line given to me was "keep your eyes on the horizon". Very useful. Yours is good!
Love your sunglasses btw - total bad ass!
Easy to do
Retired VA NP. All of you hardworking federal employees are in my heart right now!!
I can’t stand that man.
and this is why we should not engage them, at all, anymore.
Not enough attention. We just need to ignore them all.
Blocked immediately
I will never understand why this has unnerved Americans so much. Everyone shares bathrooms in Europe. It’s just not a big deal.
Doesn’t the Senate hate him though? Maybe they’ll rise. One can dream I guess.
Isn’t this an interim thing? I don’t think he needs Congress.
Yes! Your practice sounds interesting - I was at the VA for 30 - NP
Seriously I think the best thing we can do with the lot of them is just to drop them altogether. No interaction. They’re boring and not worth my time.
Yummy. Did you do the boiling method?
Charles looks formidable.
Such a great song. I saw him in concert in the 70s . He was incredible. I have so many memories of his music throughout my childhood To this day, My Cherie Amour tosses me back to a specific moment.
I am loving all you cool folks - such a nice group - it’s good for my heart - but is there a way to follow everyone back at once? I’m inundated!!
I’m happy to see you. Thank you for the good you bring to the world.
There nothing better to soothe a weary soul IMO.
Gorgeous!
