Yesterday I designed pads covering the portion of backpack’s straps that contact one’s shoulders. I couldn’t escape the image of my dad at a sewing machine the night before my first ‘scouts trip’, 55 years ago, making similar, cushy pads for my use. OF COURSE I mirrored his design. Thanks dad.xx

“Either Republicans finally decide to extend the Affordable Care Act tax credits this year. Or the American people will throw Republicans out of their jobs next year and end the speakership of Donald J. Trump once and for all.” ~Hakeem Jeffries

Ok I LOVE that trump tried DESPERATELY yesterday to get someone to remove their name from the ‘discharge petition’ to release the ‘Epstein files’! He focused first upon the dumbest, most embattled magats in Congress: Boebert and the clearly embattled Nancy Mace. Neither budged. See’ya a-hole!

January’s the next shutdown. We don’t HAVE a president of a republican state now…his constant lies, his fear of Epstein-truths, his infirm health, his dramatic unintelligence, the 100% LACK of leadership on the right…these are all impediments to running a free, constituted state.

The UK has today suspended security information sharing with the U.S. over its outrage with trump’s extrajudicial murders in the Caribbean and Pacific Ocean. CAN YOU IMAGINE THIS HAS ACTUALLY HAPPENED?!

trump pardoned his RICO co-defendants for their attempts to overturn your 2020 election last night. Think of that…they aren’t even under indictment. Clearly, the fastest tanking ‘approval rate’ in polling history pretty much confirms that midterm will be another electoral Waterloo for the R party!

It’s disgusting that trump can actually ‘pardon’ his own assembled, RICO defendants after their fake-electors-scheme which attempted to steal an American election.

Tariff collection’s reached $220billion, according to the clowns of the admin. (much LESS according to actual people who should know) Fatty wants to give $2k to EVERY American from that boodle. But only 110m 2k checks can be squeezed from $220b! Hmmmm. That leaves 2/3 of us with NO dirty money!

One HAS to wonder abt the veracity of any noise emanating from trump…But, with his new idiocy related to making a $2k ‘gift’ of tariff surplus…one has to wonder twice: First…does he know he has NO power to make such a ‘gift’? Then…does he know he has NO access to distribute treasury funds AT ALL?!

I HATE the lack of cajones in those 8 dems who ‘caved’ on the ACA subsidies requirement…to end trump’s shutdown… But also, reopening government with no commitment to retaining ACA enrollment IS going to cause MASSIVE increases in HC services…Around-about midterm & that’s gonna MURDER gop candidates.

I just read a CNN piece detailing how ‘talking politics’ has become a ‘negative’ for Americans traveling abroad. Mostly, people want to offer sympathy or to ask, “how’d you let it happen AGAIN?” My own experience in China was different and GREAT. People there think 100% of trump as a big fat joke.

trump fell for a story from an online entity called the ‘Dunning Krueger Press’. This illiterate dipshit has now ‘spread’ the idiotic lie that “Obama personally profits from the ACA” somehow…& has pocketed $45mill. ANYONE else would’ve recognized ‘Dunning/Krueger’ as code for unchecked stupidity.

Jackson Dart is a flat out stud.

In case you’re encumbered by desperate falsehoods about ACA… “Obamacare” has been dramatically successful for Americans. Subsidies assisting lower income groups have succeeded in insuring a record number of your countrymen. Republicans have closed down your government bc they don’t care about YOU.

trump wants the Commanders’ stadium “named after him”!! (Not kidding!) After initially trying to bar their new stadium deal until they agreed to return the ‘Redskins’ name…this is what he wants now. Someone tell the fat felon that stadiums are named after insurance companies…and NEVER for rapists.

The daily idiocy of trump as the American president just gets more ridiculous continually. His open intent to favor conservative over liberal…his flatly illegal, unconstitutional setting of tariffs & his extrajudicial murders… Today, the MF pardoned Daryll Strawberry of gross felonies. Just die!

Jesus. trump is ‘endorsing’ Cuomo in the race for mayor of NYC!! Haha! I don’t know if it’s sillier that he’s endorsing ANYBODY from his historically shitty approval position…or that Cuomo would fucking ACCEPT an endorsement from him! It IS fun watching the doors fall of of his foundering admin’!

dawn admitted last pm to what amounts to his making an ‘auto pen-pardon’ didn’t he? The trouble though is that the moron was lying, of course, as his pardon of Zhao of ‘binance’ ISN’T a pardon of “someone he doesn’t know”, it’s a pardon of someone who GAVE HIM $2BILLION!!!!! trump’s dying in jail.

trump’s idea that the ‘Lincoln bathroom’ should be ‘period-appropriate to Lincoln’s era’ just further exposes his lack of intellect. First that wasn’t even a bathroom in Lincoln’s era. It was an office. Next people then used basins, pitchers, & chamber pots or outhouses as ‘facilities’. F’n moron.

trumphole went to his lap-puppies in Rep Congress to demand they trip the ‘nuclear option’ to end the filibuster so he can end the shutdown HE started with a simple majority. But his whipping boys looked up at daddy and said, “no”. Shit’s going south moron! Impeachment, removal and prison beckon!

Have to say the DUMB party threat to invoke a nuke treatment of the filibuster isn’t so bad, long-term. Clearly…reps have proved they can’t hold majorities, due to their propensity to pass amoral bullshit during the brief hours they hold one. Taking it away is like taking a crayon from a toddler.

If you’re dependent upon SNAP benefits or the subsidy that makes healthcare available to you and millions of others…you’re hungry and at great risk right now. If you’re dependent upon SNAP benefits and those subsidies AND you support the trump administration…you’re a MORON at great risk.

“A Jackie Robinson moment… what an exciting opportunity…”

I have to say I am becoming more of a Zoran Mamdani fan with each interview I see him CRUSH. This guy seems masterfully prepared for any question from any interviewer…and leaves each session seemingly having strengthened his electoral position. His emergence reminds me of that of young Obama.

I watched trump yesterday…just overtly lying…saying that he has the “most successful admin in history” and that his “approval from Americans is his highest ever, right now”. Both absurd. Anyone can see his appvl. is FAR under water and sinking further, daily…and WHAT “success” has this moron seen?

The spkr of the House is the latest DOPE to comment that trump’s inquiry into ‘a third term’ was really just the fat fuck, “trolling” democrats. But does that also mean that militarily occupying democratic cities, while it’s CLEAR that red-cities are wildly more violent is just “trolling” too? Fdt

Ever see the film, Mississippi Masala?! This WONDERFUL film was directed by Mira Nair in her early 30s. She’s the mother of Zohran Mamdani!!

I think the highest ‘winds’ I’ve ever experienced during a storm was 60mph, during the last day of a vacation in Cozumel…and that was CRAZY. Today winds of 185mph are expected to hit Jamaica. Literally 3x the turbine we saw in Mexico. Best to you, brothers and sisters. Thinking of you here.

Venezuela doesn’t even rank among the REAL ‘cocaine states’ and they’re not even on the fentanyl list! This kinda mirrors that Chicago, Portland, SF and DC do not have crime/murder rates even remotely close to those of the worst red states/cities. We need to return US governance to Congress asap.

So…18 innngs…that’s ‘2 wins’ for the dodgers, RIGHT?!

I hate that stupid ‘strauss’ logo on MLB helmets during this playoff. Tacky AF. Get a supplier who’s less diva next year.

Dumbass had an MRI & of course, “the doctors have never seen an MRI that’s this excellent, the likes of which, blah, blah” Idiot. If an MRI is ordered after earlier exam…that’s obviously NOT a good thing for someone 100lbs overweight, with shitty circulation mystery bruises & inflated cankles! 8647

There’s nothing “fake” about Reagan telling republicans and non-republicans that tariffs FUCK economies. There’s NO missing context in the ad, which AMERICA saw at least twice during the WS broadcast tonight. trump lies & his personally set, mindless and illegal tariffs are ruining economy. Fdt

Let’s clarify. trump’s a clown proving his unsuitability to lead, daily. But Republican Congress COULD negotiate end to closure, but don’t. They COULD block these economy strangling tariffs, but don’t. They COULD fund SNAP as Americans hunger, but don’t. They COULD stop no-proof killings but don’t

How often have we heard from Republican leaders about ‘family’ being our most important institution. Etc, etc, etc. SNAP GOES OFF TOMORROW. It’s also very close to certainty that dramatic healthcare cost hikes will kick 5 million Americans off healthcare… But there IS a new golden palace!

Think of the lie trump told about “Don’t worry the east wing won’t be touched”…obvious now as a devise to escape for the moment from facing an horrific wrong he’d already recognized as such. This person is separated from every previous occupier of ‘the people’s house’ by full lack of character. Fdt

So now there’s an aircraft carrier in the Caribbean This isn’t, “Speak softly and carry a big stick”…This is an illegal anti-American attack of a sovereign state. We’re the U.S. We take decisions of force thru a plurality NOT a king. If this is on, trump joins his pal “Vladimir” as a war-criminal.

Flying home from Asia with layover in LA last night…I witnessed the vid message from ICE-Barbie at LAX. Hilariously, the volume on each monitor was OFF! I asked a TSA agent abt this and he said he’d seen hundreds of people selfie themselves flipping her off since the display has been running. Fdt

It’s STUNNING to see the son of Mario Cuomo resort in his desperation to gross, fearful, anti-Muslim tropes from his trailing position in his mayoral campaign against Mamdani. Tough to watch that.

Everything the moron is doing is shit4brains cra-cra. His Canada thing TONIGHT is nuts… Tearing down the Whitehouse… Murdering foreign nationals in intl. waters, sans congressional declaration…or ANY kind of due process… Shaking down the U.S. for a quarter trillion… Fucker has to go.

So..Billups is accused of playing in a poker game Feds say was “mafia-rigged”. (Although they’re NOT saying HE rigged it!) And Rozier is accused of laundering ill gotten gains which were PERHAPS realized by faking sick on game day. And… trump is killing people sans-proof of guilt. Deflection

I don’t care if you think they’re guilty. If you can’t prove their guilt after killing them…YOUR CRIME IS WORSE THAN WHAT YOU S A Y IS THEIRS. And worse…you fucking make US guilty too. YOU ARE NOT SUITABLE TO LEAD OUR HONORABLE, CONSTITUTED ALREADY GREAT STATE. …and you’re dying in prison.

Paul Ingrassia will not be advanced to head the office of special counsel. Apparently even Republican senators who have meekly ceded their congressional powers to ‘the man who would be king’…look down upon MOROSELY RACIST HOLDINGS such as populate Ingrassa’s texts and social media posts. 8647!

Do economic sanctions imposed by the infant in chief signal we’ll soon see the ‘pee-pee tape’…and other Kompromat held by Komrade-pootie?

I am a Russell Wilson apologist! Best quarterback I have seen play…but also, perhaps the socially, ‘goofiest’ player in history. Russ has also been a non-starter of tit-4-tat press battles, when intermittently, this mightn’t have been a bad idea. So I LOVED the bomb he sent Sean Payton! Let’s ride

That NY Jets owner criticizing Justin Fields in the press is stupid. Blaming Fields for HIS team’s 0-7 start is absurd and dangerous. There isn’t 1 team which wouldn’t LEAP at the chance to steal Fields…and the truth is that’s also true of other stud players and coaches who have now LEFT the jets!

Ok….WHY should it be true that WHENEVER I see a Hong Kong resident’s luggage opened by security in an airport…which is actually QUITE often…it’s always just a mass of entirely disorganized, unfolded, thrown-in-the-bag, jumbled crap? Wassupwiddat?!

Mark Rutte, the exec-general of NATO and former Netherlands PM is an almost comically successful ‘trump-whisperer’! It’s surprising that he has no children…as he certainly displays masterful skill dealing with the most petulant ‘child’ on the planet. Thanks for babysitting Mark!
