WTAF. They are pissing off the cooks and bakers big time. The special chocolate I get for Christmas baking went from $30 to $90, Nielsen Massey Madagascar Bourbon Vanilla went from $50 to $149.95 and now they are hitting Italian-made pasta with a 107% tariff. Why? So Don the Con gets a payoff.

Yes I'm afraid nothing to see here, I agree the files have been scrubbed completely.

"Haven't you ever thought of living. unconsciously like bears, sniffing the earth, ... far from human voices and fire?" - Nâzım Hikmet. Yes, I say today more than ever, time for a short break from the gold splashed hell of DJT. Then I will be back to the fight tomorrow.

What an easy governing philosophy Republicans have. Just blame every problem on Biden, Democrats, and migrants. Then you never have to solve anything and can blame all your failures on other people. This is especially useful when you are grossly unqualified for your position.

He is a conman, a liar, a rapist, a murderer, all horrible things and yes a common thief too. It just is more than a thinking person can bear that the 'resolute desk' has been taken to Mar-a-Lago on the pretext that it needs to be refurbished. I expect he will paint it gold. When will this end.

trump on dangerous immigrants in the country. 11,888 of them had committed murders, half of them committed more than one murder. Such precise numbers. Then there must be a list. Right? Could we ever see it? Just as I thought, no proof of anything--made-up out of whole cloth. Evil bastard.

Katyal is merciless. He is embarrassing Alito’s fanciful hypos and Alito is getting mad. But Katyal is unfazed and instead going in for the kill. Wow. Well done.

I continue to wonder when Americans will decide enough is enough. As Frederick Douglass reminds us: “The limits of tyrants are prescribed by the endurance of those whom they oppress.”

Learning of new murders of boatloads of people everyday, the trump regime is asking for a new war. We can take a lesson from my woods where when strength meets up with something very much smaller, mom bear is curious, checks it out, but can find no threat and therefore no one gets hurt.

Yup he's sick---serious sick. His crooked smile signifies a stroke to me. He said he had a perfect MRI, what does that even mean. No one has a perfect MRI. What were they looking for? How does he continually getaway with never showing proof of anything?

I'm not sure you can get more marie antoinette than taking away food stamps before thanksgiving while you build a gold and marble dance hall so the other crooks can bring bribe you over a badly-cooked (argentinian) steak

Watching daily the nastiness of the 'evil orange one'. People are out of work and not getting paid, Snap funding to end soon. Still never any thought for anyone other than himself and now they say the ballroom is first on his mind. Even in the woods the bears are cordial with each other.

Wake up, babe, the least subtle visual metaphor in history just dropped

The most amazing Atlantic just arrived. I think so many people need this education on where this country came from especially those who seem so happy to accept authoritarianism. Articles are fascinating, images are beautiful. I shall read every word.

Good morning! ☕️☀️😎☮️🎶💗🐸

If men with guns and masks tried to pull me out of my car, I'd fight back. Courts should reject any claims by the government that this is aggression by the person being detained, resisting arrest, or that they're a flight risk.

U.S. strikes another boat of accused narco-terrorists near Venezuela killing 6. Ordered by military mastermind Pete Hegseth. Instead of any proof we are to take their word for it. Venezuela's Defense Minister calls actions anti-human, warmongering, with threats of bombs, death and blackmail.

The Atlantic’s journalists will not sign the Pentagon’s press policy. Statement here from editor in chief Jeffrey Goldberg:

Maybe it's just me, but I like for my Nobel Peace Prize winners to not sic the military on their own citizens while engaging in extrajudicial killings in international waters.

So now Dr. Oz is at the podium reporting on the drugs that have been reduced by 650%. How stupid are people? Who can listen to this crap? In the old days didn't they just grab them, tie them to a rail and run them out of town. Yup and tar and feathers still a good option too.

It's bewildering that Noem says with a straight face that they have arrested a partner to Antifa's leader and they will get her to talk. These people are crazy dangerous. I'm here in the woods, a proud anti-fascist, but I'm feeling our present semblance of a normal life is hanging by a thread.

I don’t think that the United States military murdering Venezuelans at sea is getting anywhere near the attention it should

In the woods today picking up trail camera cards, seems like I got a message from a bear. I call him 'big guy' and he speaks in clicks. And if I'm translating correctly he wants people to look past the chaos and not forget about the Epstein files. That's what I'm thinking anyway.

No veteran should have their social security number leaked, let alone passed to a political opponent by the government.

Right out of the Nazi playbook---fire the comedians first. Still we have so many venues now, it is my hope the comedians get louder than ever.

Seems somehow anti fascism is the enemy of the right and the orange one is coming after its proponents. We have no buildings or meetings - just common sense in a formerly free country. They can find me in the woods and I will not go quietly.

Two black men found hanging in trees and it's supposed to be suicide. Nothing to see here they say. In Mississippi yet---are we supposed to believe this?

It is all the fault of the left says trump. Yet, he condones violence, encourages violence, uses violence without a second thought. He shot-up another Venezuelan boat today that he claims surely had 3 drug dealers on board. No proof just because he says so. Time for a walk in the woods.

Kirk was a free speech advocate. Why are people then upset when Kirks own words are shown? youtu.be/D7XyhHLv6cI

So many are so dumb! The public thinks mRNA vaccines are new-just sprung on people during Covid & untested, but I met a scientist who said many have been working on and anticipating the virus since 1970. He was off to give a talk on it in Denmark where people still respect science and scientists.

Your periodic reminder that mRNA vaccines are a scientific and public health game-changer. Those that have been approved have passed stringent efficacy and safety checks. They protect you and your child against potentially fatal diseases. You may, however, get a sore arm.

Trump is over 20 minutes late to his Oval Office address. Are they unable to reanimate him? lol

DJT thinks he deserves a Nobel Peace Prize. He is ignorant, hateful, & a bully. Enjoys spreading fear. His goals as president of revenge and retribution a disqualification now and forever. This is the opposite of peace. Winner to be announced as it is every year on Oct 10th. It will never be him!

"She did not die defending the Constitution. She died trying to overturn it. She was not protecting lives at a gate in Iraq; she was forcing her way through windows in the Capitol to stop the peaceful transfer of power." New from @markhertling.bsky.social:

Minneapolis shooter posted his intentions for a month. DOJ and FBI used to monitor this and often intervened before disaster happened. Now revenge for the orange one and hassling immigrants take all their time.. We are exhausted by it and rest doesn't help. Only nature. And turkeys make me smile

A trumper uncle mistakenly sent my daughter a disgusting Biden smear article.Then apologized for the mistake. They feed the base non-stop lies about democrats. They not only need to disagree with us, but they need to hate us too, it's part of their evil plan. Going to the woods were sanity rules. .

The crawl on MSNBC says Maxwell tells DOJ trump never did anything inappropriate. Could they define inappropriate? Because this guy doesn't see anything particularly wrong with sex with a 14 year old. What else would she say but just what they want to hear. Are we supposed to believe this nonsense?

All he thinks about is elections and himself, sitting with someone whose country is being ravaged. Hate him. Trump to Zelenskyy: "During the war you can't have elections? So let me just see - three and a half years from me, if we happen to be in a way with somebody, no more elections. That's good."

Betty Bowers: The painfully stupid and needy Donald is trying to spin all the European leaders coming with Zelensky as somehow an honor. It is an honor to Zelensky. And a disgrace for Trump. They are there because they thought Trump treated Zelensky shamefully last time. And they don't trust him.

If it’s not leaks on the signal chain it’s papers left behind in the printer. It’s an incompetent kakistocracy. www.npr.org/2025/08/16/n...
