Back when Donald was a failure in real estate, he was famous for not paying his contractors. He would come up with fictional fault in their work as an excuse not to pay them. Now, this unscrupulous cretin is short-changing the National Guard. www.rawstory.com/trump-infuri...
I remember being middle aged. You have a hard time with history passing you by. Well, in my case it was music, but I imagine politics are similar.
Today is the first day of public trading for Trump’s crypto scam.
My daughter is in there somewhere!
Not believing it until I hear Trump speak in person again. We all know he has staff.
If Nate Silver were my age, he'd recognize the world moving past him when he sees it. The world moved past me musically a long time ago, but politically, I like what I'm seeing on the left these days--usually.
Thank you on this labor day!!
It will be lost until you buy a replacement.
The Left tends to hate people not quite as left as they are more than they hate Republicans. They really don't understand the concept of voting for the lesser of two evils, which is what I've been doing since 1972.
Warfighters demonstrating leafality.
Until Trump speaks publicly, I’m going to assume he’s incapable.
He's certainly right about that. Age limits for elected officials! I'm sure the only reason the Founding Fathers didn't require them was that people didn't live this long back then.
Looking for my brother, but I can't see him.
I had it, too. Of measles, mumps, and chicken pox, measles was the worst.
RFK has.
Makes no assumptions (unlike myself), and asks very good questions.
Really, I'm not fussy about the "how."
Crickets. You'd think he'd be out there singing the praises of billionaires on Labor Day. And a few people have posted on X and Instagram, claiming to have seen Melania at Walter Reed yesterday. No photos, though, AFAIK.
If the Black Hole of Charisma thinks that he is the heir to Trump's personality cult, I think he'll find he's mistaken.
Pretty tame, the press.
The brainworm speaks!
He must have, one way or another. He's never shut up for this long. Isn't it lovely?
A deathless classic in a gorgeous color!
Crazy idea: what if we make electricity cost more for non-residential use.
That would be ideal, but it depends on his packed courts. It's more certain this way.
It's really hard to come home from Europe these days.
The entire administration detests women, especially the women. This joker must go!
Do it, kids! This boomer wants age limits on elected officials. Corporations have them because they don't want their CEOs going gaga--out with us geezers!
In July, Florida Republicans launched the brutal “Alligator Alcatraz” immigration detention center deep in the Florida Everglades. But less than two months later, the camp is being dismantled by DHS and emptied of detainees after a district judge ruled that it violated federal environmental law.
It may not be normal, but it's lovely.
This feels like when Livia held off the announcement of Augustus's death until Tiberius got there in I, Claudius.
I'm impressed!
Maybe, but I was really relieved when my daughter switched from violin to viola. Those little violins are screechy!
That happened before he was elected the first time!
I thought of leaving social media altogether, but I want to be here when It happens. And an American President doing nada on Labor Day? Something is up.
I used to tell my kids to study hard, or they'd end up with a job milking almonds.
What, don't you like eggplants? 🙄
I’m not an ornithologist. Can anyone identify the bird in this photo?
He won’t let the press anywhere near him. This is getting weirder and weirder.
Sigh. It's always so nice to hear from a responsible executive these days.
And into my Ravelry "Pullover Favorites" bundle it goes!

Good morning everyone From the great Andy Borowitz, thank you Keep it up #EPSTEINFILES #EPSTEIN
Absolute masterpieces! Love the owl one on your pattern page, too!
Or bookstore worker. Sundays were always the worst.
Too funny! I'm sure the Labubu will appreciate the quality!
If you're 60, 69.1% of all job growth since your birth occurred under Democratic administrations. If you're 45, that number is 74.7%. If you're under 28, the number is 100%. Happy Labor Day.
Shoutout to everyone who can disappear for a few days and the entire world isn't praying that you died!.
Pedo, not peso.
Release the peso files, not the pedophiles!
I have to say, this week I've come to understand how the right got sucked into the QAnon morass. Something about it must have given their twisted little souls hope. My twisted little soul has its fingers crossed.
California drove me crazy when I lived there, but these days I'm loving it again.
California stepping up.
Google developer #1: "That's it. Our search engine is simple, efficient, and reliable. It's perfect. We're done." Google developer #2, presumably: "But wouldn't it be *more* perfect if the first search result was always a robot who mansplained your search results to you incorrectly?"
Mind you, if there were a Pulitzer for closed captioning, Trump would be demanding that one, too.
The shooter did not act alone. He was assisted by one president, 219 House members, 53 senators, and the NRA.
If you enjoy… Weekends Safe working conditions Retirement benefits Paid vacations Breaks at work Sick leave Paid holidays … then you’re part of the labor movement. Happy Labor Day.
You've got this! The best sweater is always the next one!

Don't forget to post it up! I really love the technique Norah came up with with the two needle sizes at once, and the way she shaped the front opening.
And "Is He Dead Yet?" captures the current party mood.
You did a great job on the letters.
Is he talking about how great the celebration will be?
We're having a great time. After decades, I imagine it gets old.
Dear Americans, welcome to the thrilling game of ‘Did this dictator die or just disappear for a day?’ We’ve been playing it with Putin and Lukashenko for decades. Enjoy the suspense.
So much unity in the hope that one person dies. Global unity. Has that ever happened before?
Of the moment! There is also this one, which I did a bunch of during his first term: www.ravelry.com/patterns/lib...
Why I think the whole thing is a Russian honey trap.
This whole thing has got to be a Russian honey trap, and they have Trump where they want him.
If we have to become an authoritarian state, can we at least get eco-cities, bullet trains, and renewable energy?
I hope they do jail time. "Just following orders" should not be a defense.
It's the voice. I can't listen to anyone with a Queens accent any more. Horribly prejudiced of me, but here we are.
I really hope you're right about the tech bros. They increasingly remind me of Bond villains, with their yachts and their private islands and their space programs.
Excuse me, have you ever seen LA? It's rather large.
I love Chicago. We visited often when we lived in the Midwest. I wish the residents all the best in the ordeal that a real President would never subject them to.
It makes me wonder whether she's ever even been there.
A lot of us are just plain overwhelmed. There's so much, every day. It's like standing in front of a firehose.
He’s providing them with valuable mulching experience though.
Because you're OK with kids dying, as long as they aren't yours. That's why you didn't vote for it.
"It's mental health, not guns. But we want the problem to persist, as long as it's not our kids."
GOP responses to mass shootings: Step 1: Blame it on mental health, not guns Step 2: Vote to cut funding for mental health Repeat I live outside the US, and I can assure you: the rest of the world has people with mental health problems. What they don't have is easy access to unlimited guns.
Apparently the tech bros, especially Thiel, are into this to avoid paying taxes. Why do these people always have to act like Bond villains? en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Sea...
Sigh. I'll be dead. I'm so sorry, young people everywhere!
She just needs to go to a cheaper grocery store. Problem solved.
I agree. He doesn't have the personality cult following. People aren't gathering around him and telling him he's Jesus.
People need to be jailed for this. Including agents who were "only following orders."
Ha. Haha. Haaa. I get it.
He probably would have claimed to be a Never Eyeliner guy, too.
Well, there's always the sidewalk outside his office.
And I think Lincoln would be fine with the celebrating.
They're a disgrace to the country. If a kid of mine tried to enlist, we'd have words.
The National Guard are a disgrace to the country.
Denmark has just passed a law giving everyone the copyright on their own images and voice. We need to kick the tech lords to the curb and do the same.
