A guy collapses down on the floor right next to him, the guy could be dying, and Trump doesn’t move a muscle, doesn’t give a damn, and looks super pissed off that his photo op this afternoon has been interrupted. Donald Trump, in a perfect nutshell.👇

Make it stop! Wait. I mean, "Let's make it stop."

Trump's "new" buzzword: affordability. He says it's a new word. Because it never affected him personally.

Sharing this again. It's from four years ago, and censorship continues to rear its ugly head. Thank you, Meg, for stating this so well.

And he ain't going willingly.

I imagine Charlotte will be one of these. I'm supposed to fly from STL thru Charlotte to Columbus next Friday (14th). Have a keynote 10 am Saturday morning. What are my odds?

I want to know how they choose their victims....

Damn straight.

One of the three men (husband, son, grandson... figured I should make that clear) I live with at work. The other two on a zipline adventure.... Just the dogs and me, and boy is this house quiet!

Happy no more Daylight Savings Time.

Sage piece of advice: when you're most tempted to say "I told you so," don't. Had I not heeded that advice myself, I'd venture to say today would have been a whole lot worse.

How much does it cost US taxpayers to blow up fishing boats?

Boo!

Please note his tiny hand.

You do realize the current powers-that-be are reforming the Military so only loyalists remain?

Except he wouldn't say "sir."

Not only scrubbing. Manipulating.

But he's not apoplectic with Trump doing it, just a little concerned.

Also, not just because they pay you low wages, but because they want you to pay taxes on your low wages, while they pay seriously low taxes, or none at all.

Every single one of you needs to click on this link, direct to the White House website. Go down to the pictorial history of the WH and scroll to the right. This isn't just propaganda. It's disgusting propaganda. Please, please, go take a look. tinyurl.com/3szsr9ee

Government shut down. People losing healthcare and access to food. Tariffs daily raising prices on even the most essential things. See, when you come to believe the billionaire class is something to aspire to, maybe realize they'd rather kill you first. While partying in a $3M ballroom.

And then wait until they find out the feds are no longer sending aid to Food Banks.

Not only SNAP. They've also cut aid to food banks. projects.propublica.org/trump-food-c...

Facebook propaganda ad from the US Department of Labor.

"While the majority of the money has been spent on guns and armor for field agents, the outlay has also seen ICE purchase “guided missile warheads and explosive components,” according to Popular Information." tinyurl.com/yteyewnp Guided missile warheads....

I just hope we get the chance to clean it up.

Wondering how many MAGA faithful understand yet that they won't be receiving federal help for food, healthcare, housing, infrastructure, etc. but Trump's handpicked DOJ is quite likely to hand him $230M for his "suffering" after he was investigated for inciting a failed insurrection.

ICE idiot uses weapon to smash a car window. It discharges, shooting US Marshal.

Five suspect individuals, cruising around, looking for brown people mowing lawns.

As a friend said, this is how we wound up with you-know-who. fortune.com/2025/10/10/p...

"And Grindr didn't crash..." 🤣

I mean, honest to god, can you imagine if Obama tore down part of the White House?

What makes him believe he has the right? "The Trump administration has begun DEMOLISHING portions of the East Wing of the White House to build Trump’s $250 million ballroom — despite earlier claiming it wouldn’t “interfere” with the existing White House structure." (Washington Post)

Sharing this for those who might need the information. If you're able, please donate to food banks, who could become overwhelmed. No one should go hungry.

Up until lately, this space has been less attractive to bots. That seems to be changing. I hope not.

So, oopsie... like no one saw this coming? Or maybe hoped it would? Or maybe planned it to? www.nytimes.com/2025/10/19/u...

After seven years living together, 34 years ago today, this happened. We've been through hell, we've touched heaven.

Even Dodgers fans will have to chuckle.

I've seen comments by more than a few who believe it.
