Pretty old but the older I got the more progressive I became. A good book, coffee, a cookie and I’m set. Ridiculous rule follower: I cross at crosswalks, return my grocery carts and clean my lint filter after each use.
Thinking about last weeks SC decision that the Texas redistricting (gerrymandering) was legal because it was politically motivated not racially motivated.
If i lose representation for a political reason rather than a racial one, i have still lost representation have I not?
How is that right?

Ny Times reports that the SC is poised to give the President more power.
They are giving more power to the one man least likely to use it for the general welfare of the American people and most likely to abuse it in furtherance of more personal wealth.
Have they been in a coma since 2016?

If Pete Hegseth had been at My Lai, I think he would have willingly participated in the massacre of women, children and elderly and never have given it another thought.

At the cabinet meeting today, Trump called the entire Somali community “ garbage” and said they should go back to Somalia. JD Vance banged his hands on the table in encouragement.
Two truly odious men.

I don’t know this for a fact but I’ve never let that stop me, but Honduran former president Hernandez took in millions in bribes from drug cartels.
I think some of that retained fortune made its way to Trump for the pardon…

Remember when Trump extorted Ukraine? “Do me a favor though - Just say you are opening an investigation into Joe Biden”. And Zelenskyy refused.
I think this is one reason he is so anti-Zelenskyy. President Piggy J Trump can hold a grudge for decades.

Re Hegseth’s and Trump’s threat to prosecute Sen. Kelly and the others, I was wondering what law says you cannot advise others to NOT break the law?

Is there a word that describes appalling better than appalling? Because I need that word.

He should be impeached again and removed for putting members of Congress in danger just because he was mad. If this isn’t misdemeanor under the impeachment clause then I don’t know what is.

Trump has now pardoned Robert Harshberger husband of Republican Rep. Harshberger of Tennessee.
Convicted of health care fraud and mislabeling of a drug for kidney patients!
He has pardoned more criminals than he has deported.

Shareholders think Musk is worth a TRILLION dollars if he meets certain benchmarks for Tesla.
I think if he dropped dead today the company and the world would just go on as if he never existed. And both would be better off.

Trump says he will release SNAP funds after he receives “appropriate legal direction”.
My idea of appropriate legal direction:
“This way #4547. Down the hall and to your left is your cell. Put your things on the top bunk.”

They also x-rayed his head and didn’t find anything.

This was drawn by my 16 year old grandson for the No Kings protest Saturday. At first I did not notice the semi-swastika in the background which I, completely unbiased, think is a brilliant touch.

Franklin Graham’s religious ad that I see almost every night.
He says all we have to do to be saved is say a prayer asking God for forgiveness. That’s all. After he recites the prayer he says “ and then call this number”.
Who do you have to call? 😂

From CNBC this am. :
“Stocks surged on Monday, rebounding from Friday's sell-off after President Donald Trump said trade relations with China "will all be fine."
And the traders believe him?? 😂😂
The only thing more unstable than his mind is his tariff policies.

Read in the NY Times this morning that 25% of farmers rely on the Affordable Care Act and “ cannot afford for health insurance costs to triple at the end of the year”.
For the 78% of them who voted for Trump…well good.

If US soybean farmers have lost their main market- China, and the Trump Misadministration now has to bail them out, don’t they have to be bailed out every year from now on?
And do they keep on growing soybeans? Or just stop and collect money?

We are in a Fascist free fall.
Still in shock at how quickly the law firms, the universities, the mega media companies caved in. They all had the resources financial and legal to tell the Evil Simpleton to pound sand.
I’ll never forgive them.
