A hidden inscription in Lincoln’s watch reads:
“The first gun is fired. Slavery is dead. Thank God we have a President who at least will try.”
I wish we had a president who would at least try.
(Btw, it’s an interesting story)

Enjoy the day, and remember to be thankful of things like family, even if there’s occasional friction.
(I’m still reluctant to call this day thanksgiving due to the subsequent consequences to all First Nation peoples as a result of their interactions with europeans, but have a great feast anyway!)

The DSM 5 has this trump diagnosis down pat.
There are others for pedophelia.
“Symptoms of narcissistic personality disorders include a grandiose sense of self-importance, fantasies of unlimited success, a belief in being "special," a need for excessive admiration, and a sense of entitlement”

trump wants to call a couple of turkeys Chuck & Nancy, then follows up with “I’d never pardon them”.
At a time when most people are spreading thanks for their friends and families, trump implies (on the air) he’d behead Chuck Schumer and Nancy Pelosi like Thanksgiving turkeys.
What a great guy. 🤬

I happened to check in with my bank, and discovered my credit score was slowly dropping.
I discovered it was doing so because:
1) I have minimal debt
2) I don’t have enough different kinds of debt
3) I haven’t opened any credit accounts
I always thought being debt free was a good thing.
Silly me🤯

I think trump’s orange spray tan helped cause his dementia.
It’s slowly soaked through his face and has finally entered his brain.

Venezuela’s descent into authoritarianism looks a lot like what could happen here.
Caldera introduced a Venezuelan democratic system in the early 60s, which lasted until his death.
Then came Chavez, who consolidated state and government into the country’s current repressive society.

It’s hard to believe trump is going after Mark Kelly for speaking truth to power.
Actually, it’s not.
Bone Spurs attacking a dyed-in-wool American hero is typical of his cowardice.

SEN. KELLY : “They informed me of this in a tweet because this is not about the law. This is about the media cycle, and intimidation… We basically repeated the uniform code of military justice, and they're saying that's in violation of it. It's absurd. Comical.”

Passionate in her beliefs. Fiercely loyal to her friends. Never afraid to let you know exactly where she stood. The best.
Fun Fact: I remember arguing with her over which of us hated Piggy the most. I was sure I did. She disagreed. It remains unresolved...

The targeting of Mark Kelly isn’t politics...it’s the sick new normal created by a movement that can’t win arguments, only intimidate. When public servants become targets, freedom isn’t next in line… it’s already in danger. Fortunately, the outrage is intensifying rapidly.

A lot of disinformation is circulating about what Senators/Representatives Slotkin, Kelly, Crow, Deluzio, Goodlander, and Houlahan actually said. Here is the transcript. It contains no accusation that the President issued unlawful orders, no call to disobey lawful orders, and no advocacy of mutiny.
