Yeah, the crotch-shot of the scantily clad young thing on her back in a champagne coupe DEFINITELY screams, "I'm not a rapist pedo."

But for Trump, size is the ONLY issue. For anything.

I've always thought that artificial intelligence is for people who don't have intelligence of their own.

And when these sad sacs of shit finally get their comeuppance, I vote for a Tale of Two Cities lifestyle. I'm taking knitting lessons in preparation...

How incredibly evil and without conscience do you have to be to do this? They will literally starve low income people, including children and seniors to get what they want.

But I was told it's the federal agents who are threatened and in danger...?

On the other hand, Jay Gatsby gets gunned down in cold blood; and Max Gerlach, the IRL model for the Gatsby character, tried to commit suicide by shooting himself in the head - only to fail. Blinded by the shot, he lived years as a destitute invalid. Either ending to this party would be acceptable.

The more shrilly they cry about danger to themselves, the more they prove what fragile little man-babies they are.

You know what IS red or blue right now? The ability to re-convene Congress. That's alllllllll red.

Essentially it is this, yes.

Jason Kander posts:
“Dems: We’ll vote for a budget if you let sick people go to the doctor.
Republicans: Let us take doctors away from sick people or we’re gonna take food away from poor families.”
He ends with the hashtag #shutdown2025.

Give a very public face to who's trying to help them and who's calling them greedy and lazy and trying to take away their basic needs. 4/4

Maybe include representatives from various nonprofits and food banks; maybe set up volunteer booths to help people look for other options once their ACA premiums skyrocket; maybe organize some mobile health clinics. Actually go help the red folks that GOP seems to think don't need it....3/

Learn about the realities of what's coming, how it will impact them personally, what kinds of resources might or might not be available to them to make up the shortfall, learn about how to plan for/manage the lack of food stamps and rise in healthcare costs...2/

Everyone thought the "poor things" hadn't gotten the memo about Friday and had missed out. They SHOWERED the sibs with candy, in many cases dumping half their own kids' haul into the grocery bags. Afterwards, friend and I took 75% of it. THAT was a glorious Halloween. 3/3

We told them they were scarecrows. We knew we were too old to get away with it, but they were still young and cute enough. We went to a neighborhood where people didn't know us and hid behind trees & bushes to monitor sibs' progress. 2/

When I was 11 (1970s) and Halloween fell on a Sunday, my town decreed Friday as official Halloween/trick-or-treat. When Sunday rolled round, my best friend and I were bored, so we stuffed leaves in our younger sibs' shirts, handed them grocery bags, and told them to go trick-or-treating for us. 1/

Republicans: All those lazy people on SNAP/Medicaid need to get back to work.*

Also Republicans: Let's fund the crap out of AI and brag about how many jobs it will eliminate.

*Ignoring that SNAP recipients do work but don't earn living wages & Medicaid is *specifically* for those unable to work.
