Why is the picture above the two guys missing in the mirror? Hmm... And why isn't he playing at Bedminster where he usually goes but has to fly? People with heart conditions especially if the heart is failing are not encouraged to fly. Lots of monkey business going on the past week.

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.

Magical thinking🤦 "The Yankee Institute, a conservative fiscal policy group based in Hartford, released a report last fall estimating the problem could be eliminated by 2038, if Connecticut intensifies its savings efforts by another 30%, and if the nation avoids slipping into recession before then."

Thank you for the list. I checked yesterday at Walgreens to make an appointment for my flu vaccine which I usually get in October. Live in CT. Was able to schedule for now. Not sure about COVID as I wait until Nov. for that one. RFK Jr. & his cronies need to go! Call your Senators DC office.

Second time this week that eugenics came across my path. Just participated in a zoom event regarding the history of eugenics. And now this. Reminder - RFK Jr. is a drug addict. Always will be. He does not practice 12 step recovery. He switched his addiction to steroids & still believes he's God

Pick up the phone and call his DC office non-stop. Keep the line so busy, that his staff can't get their work done. When you don't call, they think it doesn't matter and move on. DO IT!

How about the top health directors in blue states use their political position to ban together like the 23 AGs have? It's going to take a huge community of good will health officials to fight for the citizens of their states. Power in numbers.

It's obvious his health in declining. It's also obvious that those around him keep trying to prop him up as being able to lead. They are desperate. The media is doing a shit job as usual not framing their reporting around his mental faculties as he slips further down.
