The Supreme Court rejected the federal government’s request to deploy the National Guard in Illinois. It’s time to let our troops go home to celebrate the holidays with their families — and stay home.

As we celebrate the birth of Jesus hopefully we can celebrate the joy of reading a particular obituary. 🎄🙏

Got a new tractor and thought I would noodle with some AI on the pic. Almost 40" of snow here this year. Most of it disappeared during the recent thaw. #Kioti #AI #Vermont

Smearing of the nose on every photo, breaking the nose off and every statue! So he will wonder endlessly through his afterlife, searching for his soul and never finding it!!!

So this sums up trumps speech last night

NO WAR WITH VENEZUELA

“We are targeting Venezuela because of DRUGS, not OIL, which is why we are blowing up boats without any drugs and stealing a tanker full of oil.”

The FIFA World Peace winner who made everything more expensive is on his affordability tour, which seems silly since it’s a Democratic hoax.

WOW! THANK YOU!! — GCN

CARTOON OF THE DAY (From Clay Bennett)

Just checking in to see what our Clown-in-Chief has screwed up today...

A great read. Insightful!

I want to see this shutdown ended as soon as possible. What we need is an agreement that will protect health care for the American people. But if there's no legislation that will pass the House and be signed by President Trump, it will simply be meaningless gesture.

Oh Lord this is funny!

At one time I did rely on some of these services. Life can be hard. Be a kind human.

Yes, it's fall and the bucks are looking frisky. Unlike humans, they don't kill each other... #Deer #Vermont

This can’t be said often enough: Trump is selling out his most loyal voting block while bailing out somebody else’s. 📍Keep an eye on this: Trump’s intentionally sabotaging U.S. farmers. His billionaire buddies will benefit by acquiring their land on the cheap.

Hasan: The great irony is of course that Donald Trump is the son of an immigrant. The grandson of an immigrant and married to an immigrant. In fact two of his three wives were immigrants, proving yet again that immigrants will do the jobs that even Americans are not willing to do.

Jessica Tarlov leaves her Fox News co-hosts speechless as she drops a list of issues Americans are protesting Trump for on No Kings

I love this!

A batch of agvolemono, a Greek soup. Not too hard to make and boy this stuff tastes good.

Coming soon, to a city near you!! 📢🚨 #FuckICE #FuckTheGop

Kristi Noem is mad they wouldn’t let her in to use the restroom in Illinois today.

Trump hates to be the object of humor. He understands that humor can be a more powerful antidote to tyranny than any other form of criticism. I'm sure he'd hate it if you shared this cartoon. [Cartoon by Jon Adams/The New Yorker]

We believe healthcare is a right for every American. But starting today, millions of people will be notified that they are being priced out of their insurance thanks to Republican policies. Enough is enough. The GOP may shut down the government, but we will stand tall for YOU.

The military oath is to the Constitution. Not to the President or the buffoon he has as temporary Secretary of Defense. I know these flag officers will remember that. They've served from 30 to 40 years to attain their rank. They know they'll be held accountable for failing to hold the line.

I hope it's clear to everyone now that Trump really is going for it - he's trying to become a dictator. I don't know if he'll succeed, but he's working to install himself as an autocrat unaccountable to voters. And he's weaponizing the military against Americans who oppose him as part of that effort

Yes there was a moose on the loose very close to the house today. He looks to be in fine shape. #Vermont #NEK #Moose
