Not a Kardashian fan but can't we give KK credit for trying to improve herself with something other than fashion, reality TV, and plastic surgery? I recall that her father Robert Kardashian was a lawyer. Look at the two people who raised her=Mom and the now Caitlyn Jenner-unstable household much?

Yes! "[we highly resolve] that government of the people, BY the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth". We are governed now BY Fat Cats ("Oligarchs") whose motivations aren't the same as Abraham Lincoln's-They prioritize wealth without even trickle-down "of" "by" or "for".

The grammatical argument was so clear from J Kagan: “license” is a noun in context of Tariff precedent. “Tariff” is used as a noun in the precedent legislation, tariffs are commerce, NOT foreign relations, and a President CANNOT create and spend revenue!!! Congress has the Power of the Purse! JFC!

Each President has a “body man”- a valet, personal aide, to help them with dressing. So he’ll be able to cover that part up!

#Caturday! Carole Lombard invented an elaborate catsport years ago involving a hair tie and a chair! She launches the hair tie up and over and through the chair “stretchers”. Such excellence in today’s solo match that Gordon Lightfoot joined in for the first time EVER! Future #Caturday Team sport?

I question your use of the positive word “boom”. What’s the referent for “boom” The jobless “boom”, or “economy is in a 1.6% ‘boom’ ”. Unemployment is a CRISIS. How ‘bout “SPUTTER” re: the economy: “US economy sputters along as unemployment crisis grows and AI Fat-cats get fatter”. Editor for hire.

Don’t forget pee pee in Moscow! Or was he to be the one peed upon? Memory fails… What do you call a person who has an urge to spread their bodily fluids around Willy-Nilly? “His affluence led to effluents…” ?

The only white house ballroom I want to hear about is LBJ ordering pants.

Scoop: Trump has started demolishing the White House's East Wing facade to build his ballroom. The president had claimed construction of the $250 million building wouldn’t ‘interfere’ with the existing White House structure. /W @ddiamond.bsky.social wapo.st/4hqBNiU

Ex- wife. But apparently they still live together…

Sure, punish the wife. What an insult to all women! At least the daughters can retain their titles.

In researching my comment I see that the Republicans in charge are actually following the theocratic “Constitution Party” line. Interesting… en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Constit...

Drama. I was never so happy to do “motor voter” registration in West Virginia in 2023 and see that I could choose from SEVEN parties to slap on my identity: “Democrat, Republican, Mountain [=Green Party], Libertarian, Constitution, No Party [=No Party Affiliation (NPA) or Unaffiliated], and Other”.

This was 2020. I look at her and I see "the hardships of Revolution" borne by ordinary heroes. This painting "The Spirit of 1776" by painter Archibald Willard (originally titled "Yankee Doodle"). It was one of the centerpieces of the 1876 Centennial Exposition in Chicago and then toured the nation.

"I was protesting peacefully. So why did federal troops shoot me in the head Monday night?...In addition to being a Portland resident, I am also a historian...It dawned on me when I was in the ER, and had a chance to catch my breath (post tear gas): my government did this to me. My own government"

This is my father’s sister, my Aunt Grace. She served in WWII and was splashed across a number of American magazine covers like this one in 1944. She knew how to use that instrument. Women. In the Military. 81 years ago. Meeting “male standards”. Thank you Aunt Grace and all #womeninthemilitary!
