> "On and on he went, a truly deranged lunatic."

Another #psychopathology textbook example of #projection, spewing from Sir #TrumpVirus' big, beautiful, uh brain...
Trump yellin’ ‘illegal’ ’cause the jokes drew blood,
Can’t take the mirror so he’s draggin’ it through the mud,
Power hate laughter, truth don’t need a stage,
Comedians spittin’ facts, tyrants show their rage #4R

Obama: "The weird videos of a US president with a crown on his head flying a fighter jet & dumping poop on American citizens - that's not even worth booing about. Because all of that is a distraction from the fact that your situation, your life has not gotten better. They do it so you won't notice"
Fascinating documentary film applauded (rightly) for its fantastic "colorization" of originally B&W #photography

It's impossible not to notice: Look at all the stories of 'miracle' approvals by insurance companies AFTER a news splash of stories about the human cruelty which 'the industry' (insurance care) exemplifies. Every day, yay! I do feel good! Some child or young parent or whomever is APPROVED! by shame.
Something from 1975, maybe new (for the not yet born) or maybe recalling a golden age of rock and other #music genres

This was from the "Dog Days" album by Atlanta Rhythm Section, whose album had both "Southern Rock" with blistering guitar, and this. "Down to earth"

Every church should be doing this, and if your church isn’t, you’re at the wrong church.
Happy Halloween!

Hope all are in fine spirits.... This is the look, today, of Ashford & Simpson's *Sugar Bar* in New York's Upper West Side.

Some fine dinosaurs, princesses, Labubus, and Space Heroes walking about, and hallways full of cobwebs & skeletons.

Boo! Trick or Treat!
He's ba-ack! Just in time for Halloween!
After collecting a gold crown, a bagful of ego treats,
and a week away from #Epstein and #GQP shut-down...

Trick or Treat!

The #TrumpVirus rollout of "The Ballroom" will be complete with gaudy plaques to "sponsors" - corporate #plutocracy AKA 'donors'.

Cost to fund SNAP and keep 42 million people from starving:

$100 billion

Cost of lost revenue due to tax cuts for the richest Americans in the top 1%:

$100 billion

One is decried as "welfare." One is not.

Why?
Trump turned a visit with US troops in Japan into another campaign rally — disgracing the role of Commander in Chief & using our military as political props.

This from the guy who dodged Vietnam and called our troops “suckers and losers.” What a disgrace. www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddo...

This was just posted by a CBS News producer on their Instagram stories.
Many issues here, from basic rights to insurance/regulatory definition. Not to mention, what is the duration of disqualifying "mental health" condition? How quickly will/should clearance come? Priorities (in any legal/regulatory world)? Glad the story is out there, whatever questions/flames arise.

This is amazing. And it’s truly the stuff of nightmares.

Colbert nailed it on both counts:

1) MRI's aren't given without reason.

2) Cognitive tests are a) NOT what Sir was given, which was a Montreal screening test for significant dementia - Not " #IQ "

Quote of the day to #Colbert, on how Dr. #TrumpVirus knows neither concept.
