Trump needs to stand on the stage (again) with all the cameras and media attention on him, and a MagaHead crowd that will cheer over every word he says. The narcissist-in-chief loves the lime light. Being on the stage is different than spewing his hatrid to the press on his way to the helicopter.

I guess if you work for Cisco, Adobe, Nvidia, Broadcom, Western Digital or Netflix, you can afford a home in the San Jose area. Or at least a nearby neighborhood that is a short commute.

I don't particularly like it, but then again, I'm old. I'm sure my parents didn't understand my bell bottoms, or girls in flower dresses wearing no underware. Trends are trends. God bless all those caught up in one. 😀

The Chinese & Irish built the railroads. Mexicans were the backbone of the agricultural workforce. If Trump had been president 100 years ago, we wouldn't have had railroads or agriculture because the Maga White folks were never going to do hard labor. Maybe he would have used black slave labor.

I don't know what happened to Sinema. At one time, she was an advocate for the people. From the Green Party to the Democrat Party to the MAGA Party, Krysten lost her way.

When are politicians, like Senator Lankford, going to get the balls to say, I love my party, but I don't always agree with my party. Therefore, I am voting no on policies I disagree with. Instead they roll over to save their jobs. Apparently they skilled folks cannot find work anywhere else.

What choice does the consumer have? The only option is to buy less in order for your grocery blll to fit into your budget. It's the Trump can't afford groceries diet plan.

Unfortunately, Lori Chavez DeRemer is from my backyard. She's an idiot personified. Oregonians were delighted when she was kicked out of Congress. But to our great dismay, Trump appointed her the Secretary of Labor. DeRemer continues to be an embarrassment to our state.

Wow. Senator Lankford is an expert at talking out of both sides of his mouth. If he loses his job in the senate, he could always find a job in a carnival.

In my younger days, I hitchhiked all over the country, carrying my guitar, playing small bars for tips. When I got to San Antonio, it was rodeo time. I got a room in a cheap motel. where the wall was maybe 3" thick. On the other side was an ambitious couple. I learned a lot about sex that night.

My son has been fighting metastatic cancer for a year. We have spent almost $100,000 because his insurance doesn't cover all his treatments. The cancer in his liver, kidneys, heart & lungs is in remission, but the brain tumor is agressive despite the treatment. If we lose what we have, he will die.

Out of 20 wars that Trump intervened in, he alone stopped/ended 19 of them. So what's one loss? Right? Even if he bragged he could end the war on Day One. Heck,with all his other Day One accomplishments, and considering that life in America is better, I think he deserves some time off to go golfing.

I'm wondering how Mike Johnson would have felt to find out that his daughters were giving DonOld Trump and Jeff Epstein massages? Ohhhh, but since it didn't happen, he could give a fuck about the parents of daughters that did get caught up in the Epstein orgies. Mike Johnson Christian? Nah.

When I was a child, the scariest school event was a get under your desk drill for potential tornadoes. Today's children are dodging bullets & then living with a lifetime of trauma. This is all because of the NRA's influence on Republican politicians. Your vote counts. It's time to stop the madness.

The Kingston Trio recorded the song in the late fifties. But PP&M made the song a hit.
Michael (@rushstreetblues.bsky.social) reply parent
Seeger wrote the song in 1955. I remember the lyrics were in Sing Out Magazine. Hickerson added the add'l lyrics in 1960. Peter, Paul & Mary made it a hit song in 1962. During the Vietnam war, a multitude of artists sang the song in protest to the war. The song received the 1972 Grammy Hall of Fame.

What happened to EPSTEIN?! The press is giving Trump a pass. The 24 hour news cycle is over and the pedophile is (once again) getting away with his crimes. EPSTEIN should be the headline every remaining day of Trump's crooked presidency.

Trump thinks he's George Washington, the founding father. But unlike Washington, Trump ran from battle. He was a coward. Not only did Washington win the Revolutionary War, but he was humble as America's first president. Trump is self centered, putting himself first. Everyone else is window dressing.

How sad that the press felt obligated to grill this 10 year old boy. What's worse is that Congress continues to allow weapons of mass destruction to be sold to anyone that wants to commit murder. Hopefully when these 10 year olds are old enough to vote, the status quo will change. 🤞

France? Just France? Heck, FDR rolled out the red carpet for every country in Europe. FDR whole heartedly agreed to Hilters terms, which were: lay down your arms, kill all the Jews, do medical research on anyone that has any kind of abnormality (FDR was in a wheelchair), and learn to speak German.
