You can rule or supervise with fear and intimidation. However, it doesn’t instill loyalty or respect.

Don’t let me hear you MAGAts talking about all the things you were going to lose under Biden while we now have state-run media right here in the United States. You MAGAts can go fuck yourselves.

Nothing like listening to 70’s rock to remind you just how old you really are. Still, enjoyable but sends me back to a time when I was still trying to sort out where I was going and who I was. Fifty years later and I’m still working on it. 🤦🏻

I could almost get excited about Stefanik, MTG, et al leaving politics, but one thing work life taught me, Never Dance on Someone’s Grave. Things can get worse and often do.

If you’re on the road for the holidays, be safe and considerate. I hope others will be the same for you.

Sorry about the Chiefs, RB. @rockerbob.bsky.social I was hoping they would be in the thick of it again. I hope Mahomes recovers. When he has the correct personnel and some line support the lad is fun to watch.

We are currently in need of 3 pieces of evidence from the current Federal executive branch.

1) Trump’s tax returns

2) the Epstein files

3) the video of the Venezuelan boats being destroyed, especially the 2 missile one.

That, among many other things, should be required before we continue.
