#TheWeekend Next time please bring up the sad news that the Corporation for Public Broadcasting is shutting down due to Congress revoking the $1.1 billion in federal funding. This will cause many PBS stations to shut down as well.

Even Susan Collins kept her ground and voted against it.

I know I'm late to the party here but you look fabulous! I've been hiding lately and I miss talking to you and Rob. Hope you've had a wonderful vacation.

My question is, did some of them learn after all the deaths he caused during the pandemic? I read stories of drumpfsters who admitted they were wrong about him on their deathbeds. How many more people have to needlessly die?

Nixon didn't try to take over the government. His low self esteem made him do some nasty things, but he tried to cover up a theft that he didn't order. And after WWII, we just gave away all our industrial secrets to the world and I think that had more to do with our descent.

I think the tea party really put that ball rolling in 2007.
Nicki Kroll (@nick1950.bsky.social) reply parent
So true. The media could have used their clout a decade ago to warn us about the far right wingers that were fueled by the tea party which snowballed into MAGA. More people would have prevented many of these individuals from being elected to state and federal positions.

Today in US History: On Feb. 3, 1870, the 15th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution was ratified, granted black men the right to vote. It was passed by Congress on February 26, 1869. Black Americans were set free by the 13th amendment. The 14th Amendment guaranteed citizenship. #BlackHistoryMonth

But most of the republicans in Congress don't see it that way. It's unfortunate, but until the republicans start working with the Democrats, we don't have the proverbial snowballs chance...

Why are you saying "Dear America"? It's drumpf and his lackeys who are denying us this, not "America". They're not "Americans" in my book.

I find them a bit easier to handle for my arthritic hands for some reason. It might be that I hold it a bit differently. My fingers don't hurt as easily.

Just sitting here this afternoon listening to E!ton's Tumbleweed Connection. I was 20 when I bought the record in 1971. It's actually almost 55 because it was recorded in 1970. Still a great album. Waiting to rock out on Burn Down the Mission, one of my favorites.

Last month, Sen. Deb Fischer's (R-NE) husband refused to shake the Vice President's hand. Yesterday, he tried to shake Doug Emhoff's hand. The Second Gentleman replied: "Why would you try to shake my hand when you wouldn’t shake my wife’s hand?” REPOST if you love Doug Emhoff!

I still remember the famous Ice Bowl game between the Green Bay Packers and the Dallas Cowboys. It was -13 at kick off. I will always remember my Dad repeating several times, "They must be freezing their asses off!"

According to some astrologers, the next "Age of Aquarius" began in 2024. I'm wondering if the current impending MAGA wars escalate, MAGA is unravelling and we could actually continue on that path to harmony and understanding, sympathy and trust, no more falsehoods or derisions...

It really hits home when we knew family members and friends so fought for us in WWII. My uncle who was also my godfather, fought at Anzio during that awful Winter. The father of a family friend was in the second wave at Omaha Beach. We never forget.
