WATCH — @jessicatarlov.bsky.social reminds us why Trump and @marshablackburn the GOP pretending to care about fraud is laughable:

Cute hair: who's her stylist?

I’m good with my taxes subsidizing social welfare for people who can’t afford food. I’m enraged with my taxes subsidizing corporate welfare to businesses that won’t pay a living wage.

Einstein: "Every time an example of evil narcissistic deulusionary buffoonery arises, the idea of anyone EVER having skin on skin relationship with perpetrator makes vom a natural occurrence. Plus great compassion for those who were forced into it. Not so much those who chose because saw $$ signs".

Do cognitive tests waive not knowing the day of the week in the gap between Christmas & New Year? Asking for a friend.

The only other way to read the situation is that Trump has to call Putin to get instructions before engaging with any other world leaders.

Buckle up... senile old gramps wants to destroy the entire financial system. www.theguardian.com/business/202...

Just a reminder since some commenters appear to be confused: As it states in my profile, I am a retired US Ambassador. During three decades serving the USA, I spoke, wrote, and behaved diplomatically. I do not speak for any Administration. Now that I am retired, I speak my mind.

It's like pet insurance. You can't claim anything except near death accident not caused by natural events & even then they'll come up with some excuse not to pay. Like claiming on renewal day after paying, was informed that each policy year is a new policy so have to wait another year. Katfka.

I really hope @rbreich.bsky.social is right and that the US will finally take a long, hard, look in the mirror. The "American Dream" they've been sold since Reaganomics is actually a dystopian nightmare

WATCH — @jessicatarlov.bsky.social : “I felt like I was watching a Helsinki redux when Trump said Putin told him he didn’t interfere with the election… Trump just had the audacity to say Russia wants to see Ukraine succeed.” So weird how Trump keeps doing Putin’s bidding!🤷🏼

Do any of those recipients NOT look a wee bit weird? And is it possible that at least two look like Michael Jackson? Answers to both questions on a postcard to FIFA.

Jasus christ, how is it legal to do that to children? For grown man dressed in military gear to pick up a resisting child and carry it away from parents. Do Americans not object to this? What are they doing to stop this?

And with all the salt you get a full on stroke, free of charge!

goo goo gaa gaa 25, goo gaa, droon droool, whaaackdooodle...

Do you also have a recipe for a condo pie? Nothing so big as an East Wing pie, though.

Donald Trump targets his political enemies in order to keep power. In 2026, that won't just mean going after people like James Comey and Tish James. It will require him to target voters who he needs to disenfranchise to keep control of Congress. The fight for democracy is more urgent than ever.

Dublin cafes often close around 4pm so feel miserable in lead up with stale croissants, goopy counters, apocalyptic expressions from staff--just when you need a good natter with an old friend you get the twilight zone.

This guys actually has GOOGLE eyes, as he's CEO of the company.

“There is palpable fear throughout the community… now if you’re an immigrant you’re not going to call law enforcement when you’re the victim of a crime…” ICE has detained nearly 6,000 people in Tennessee alone - most NOT violent criminals. Full: www.wkrn.com/news/tenness...

So let’s get this straight: Trump’s DOJ buried Epstein’s crimes but kept flight logs on Julie K. Brown, the reporter who exposed them. Her 2019 American Airlines booking shows up in the files. That’s not a data glitch or an oversight.

I sometimes eat some feta in greece & sometimes some brie or camembert in france but otherwise avoid as cheese gives me a headache and I think of solid lumps of cholesterol sitting in my body if I do eat it, like the big orange cheese man.

Who remembers this? 😂 youtu.be/FYbavuReVF4?...

If he thinks he's going to rollover into another presidency with no elections, why another inauguration? And why inside? The last one looked like a cheap sinoo/roosky daytime game show set with junior school production.

That headline is big time debatable. We may not have believed our mothers in our teens when she said beauty comes from within, but as adults, it is definitely true. A tweakment veneer on an apple can hide a rotting worm at its heart.

Trump is such an embarrassment to this country.

When I showed a kid how to walk like an Egyptian, he said it was all Greek to him...

What IF allegation of attack on ONE of Pootan's residence is distraction both from Epstein & not ending Ukraine War? Bibi has lots in common with Dondi re: LA Times 1993: "Netanyahu is caught up in sex scandal after rivals [threatened] to show a videotape of him cheating on his wife [w/new baby]."

I put the word 'rape' in the search engine and got a whole lotta links. Imagine that.

Perverting the truth

If allegations re underage girls are verified amongst so many magat & magat supporters, does it make sense why they all fall in line behind the Epstein file parade?

Shocker.

Yes!

This wonderful documentary 'Wisconsin Death Trip' covering similar death photography subject matter was ground-breaking when it first came out on BBC, I think, in 1999:

In Ireland, a toupee is also called a topper, so here is another egg topper.

Marble is for mausoleums and kitchen countertops. Never been done or seen before because its a really dumb, useless Idea and profligate waste of money.

Well that calls for Rick's FAB song video:

One question is: is it worse when someone has a brain and still supports/promotes/doesn't object to what the current admin is doing?

What a beautiful directing job by Kate Winslett in her film 'Goodbye June' on Netflix. She's created a whole fresh world with sensitive script by her son Joe Anders & fantastic cast incl Helen Mirren plus about seven children who are so natural & true. Wonderful & highly recommend with tissues.

See history of US & British oil interests in Nigeria since 1950s...

Big protest outside Nigerian embassy when Ken Saro-Wiwa was executed by then regime. Shell Oil & British Petroleum have operated in/influenced Nigeria since mid 1950s--ironically around same time democratically elected Mussadegh overthrown in Iran w/CIA help to alleg. secure US/British interests.

Check out if the bombed Nigerian village has oil, fossil fuels or valuable minerals nearby which current regime may have a craving for OR pipeline access to, like Venezuela, Iraq, Afghanistan, Iran (1954), Congo, Chile etc. etc.

With all the windbaggery & methane shitology being released by Hump daily, might plugging him into the national grid potentially end US fossil fuel dependency?

Is he cracker jax? I knew kids who were brain damaged and/or some who died from measles.

A mackerel sky!

Doesn't sound too fishy, more an mammaly

If you keep folks uneducated, they feel more helpless and anxious and wanting someone to blame and someone they think will protect them from the threat that someone created. Hitler pulled this con trick & killed millions. Folks voted for it. USA voters did the same. Still time to stop the rot...

Hello, world. Meet Mercie. Mercie, meet the world. We adopted Mercie today from Journey Home Rescue. She’s a 5-month-old border collie / Aussie mix, so she’s part Ulla, part Nacho — the best of both worlds. 1/4

They're gonna be real upset when they read about literally any of Trump's appointees for anything.
