Does she have the right? (“Boy band” did not exist as a term in the 60s)
“The Killer”
The newly renamed Democracy Party should be adopting the bipartisan immigration bill that trump killed to get elected as an election plank. It’s not perfect, but it is good, and moreover it allows the Ds an ongoing angle of attack on him and his resultant policies.

If anyone is afraid of consequences for speaking ill of the government, they live in an authoritarian state. If they alter their behavior because of fear, they live in an autocracy. Pretty straightforward.
Ahhhhh….You mean Earth 1
There is something so very endearing about them grabbing us w/o any claws. Ours will bolt out and grab ankles….softly. “Attack of the cats!” Laughter.

They’ll break your heart.
They managed to make WEI and Woke profane. Now they use their success to bring back segregation, racism and social hierarchy.
Our parents tried to rear us to be (as) virtuous (as possible.) trump is the antonym. Presumably his followers, growing up, were also taught to be virtuous. How can they reconcile how they were raised with supporting the opposite? “Is a puzzle.”
Yes. He has everything in place, he just has not yet fully flexed his muscle. If we keep going along with it he’s save it till the midterms. Of course, if we really push back now, he’s bring the hammer down sooner rather than later. Water boiled away, frogs dead.
The Founders made it clear that no constitution is perfect and that for ours to work it would require leaders of virtue and self restraint from taking advantage of the soft or weak spots, and to practice forbearance. Trump is the antonym and has frontally attacked every weak spot to serve himself.
1. Change the name to The Democracy Party to indicate real commitment. 2. Hold up John and John Q. Adams who said that the proper role of government is to improve the lives of the people and their communities. 3. Make clear that taxation will be structured to this end. What’s now isn’t “fair”.

Why the hell did it not occur to me in 1969 when it grew wild to have a wig made from this mess and put it away for when it stopped? Why? For the same damn reason I spent any money I had on beer, records and weed instead of saving.
Meowt!
I love cats. Cats are animate art and generators of well-being. But when I see a cat, what comes to mind is the historical ease of abuse of these vulnerable creatures at the hands of people. Makes my interactions sweet and sour…
An-tis-ipa-a-a-tion
Hmmmmm…let me check with my granddaughter on that one.
Hey…if Diamond Dave can get away with a rug, so can we. Give it a go.
Yep. Once Stalin croaked, it took the starch out of Stalinism. *wink* *wink*
Always like catbutt pix. Particularly that of “Mountain” McClintock.
That’s why we are there. Try: “perspicacious” if you need help from the audience.
Enough already. It’s like no one has a nickname with more than two syllables. Why don’t we just try GL+? (Not confused with a fridge) Everyone understands.
Water is boiled away. Frogs are dead. The coup is over. He just hasn’t started to fully flex his new power.
Doesn’t this seem newsworthy to the @nytimes.com ?
@radiofreetom.bsky.social @thebulwark.com So our relations with India crash because of tRuMp’s ego. (My 2016 wallet size analytic guide. Never fails me.)
The death of Stalin may have only moved another commie up, but it did take the starch out of Stalinism. @radiofreetom.bsky.social

Well…it is no longer hypothetical. We now know right off the bat who, in a position of leadership welcomes the imposition of an authoritarian state.

@matjohnson.bsky.social The death of Stalin may have just moved another hard core commie to the top, but it did take the starch out of Stalinism.
But wait…the @nytimes.com told me that tRuMp is now doing the grunt work following up his meeting with Putin. (I think we all know the only daily grunt work he does.🙄)
Slippery….
…John Thune’s office.
Good Puddy!
…and the beatitudes
Gaia fighting off the Homo Sapiens Virus with increasing fever and systemic rejection. I’ll be dead
Pretty soon these “personalities” will realize that their positions in no way protect them…in fact, it will probably mean much more miserable lives, either banished or groveling on their knees.

So tragic he got stuck with the most annoying woman on TV. But I’m gratified he gets a real good payday. With the anniversary of Katrina everyone should be rewatching Treme.
Me too. This is left over from 2016. I have successfully predicted Trump’s moves ever since then with just those 3 things as a guide. (I later added “stay out of jail.”)

Old “joke”: 2 guys in a knife fight, one with a straight razor. The other guy laughs “HA! You missed me!” Razor guy: “Oh? Just try shakin’ yo head.” If you don’t think that trump has completed the takeover, try pushing back. He hasn’t fully flexed his power yet because he doesn’t need to. “We give!”
Yeh…but the shame is they only get the music. They can never experience the cultural upheaval, or that fresh feeling of seeing the Rubber Soul album cover and looking into John’s eyes…”Buckle up kiddies…”
Aliens do not have earlobes.

Ahh…but the difference is that if you had played Glen Miller for anyone in my cohort in their 20s (1968) who improbably had never heard him, you’d have gotten a yawn and a blank stare. 1964-1972 was a music cultural revolution not to be seen again. But what a neglected treat for today’s younger…
WOW!!!!!
John
So are they also pistol whipping bank tellers while investigating bank robberies?
Next time you think the military will save us from trump in a pinch.
Was there fertilization?
Mine gets plain, ie, no sugar, and loves it.
Music producer never listened to Elton John. JFC…Ask the little twerp what he thinks of this and watch his hair fall out. He’s probably equally unaware of 20th century history like the rest of his generation…which is why we are in the mess we are.
@radiofreetom.bsky.social
Wasted? That assumes there is in fact a right road…a road to truth that if you just try hard enough you’ll find it. How about you consider that there is no god, there is no abstract “morality” we are trying to honor. How about we are a pandemic eating the planet like termites and about to collapse.
I’d settle for sanity.
Reminds me of a house fully eaten out by termites. About to collapse.
It is baseball burlesque
The fact that this is even being discussed means we’ve already lost
Consider this as you look to the future of you and yours. First day of school for the kid, Labor Day picnics, Halloween costumes, birthdays, Thanksgiving, Christmas…All done and over. Never again the same as the dictatorship strengthens its grip on the country. Not just “🎶Tiny tots” losing sleep.
If this is true, you have all the proof you need that trump has subjugated the military. Next up? Investigate Mark Milley.
Proving that a prosecutor actually can’t just indict a ham sandwich
Ahhh…deadly crime wave in NYC. I wonder how strenuously Eric Adams is going to resist federal troops?
“AI…draw the cabinet as the late Jeff MacNelly would.”
The scariest thing about this @vermontgmg.bsky.social post is how sober and un-hyperbolic it is. All points of fact are supported with links to reporting. No claims are exaggerated or twisted to meet his thesis. He just lays out where we are and what this country looks like right now.
Good news! When we come to get him, he can only fire one at a time, making the others moot. 🥳
…and one of them is in Miami
Lol
Bin Laden won. We demonstrated no commitment to principle or character. That was the first signal we had become jello inside. Prior to that I truly believed we had the fortitude to take a punch…absorb it, and come back to sort it without weakening our national character. I no longer believe that.
Totally in character. I’ll grant that he may feel guilty…but not enough. Too much Texas Bush…not enough residual Yankee Bush.
Too much Texas and not enough New England left in him.
