5 years ago today I quit my job with #PPB because I had had it with the fascist nonsense and blatant support of the jackass in the White House.

I am having a much better day than he is today.

Not usually one for schadenfreude but today feels like I can indulge, as a treat.

There is so much happening in this paragraph.
Jennifer Gibbons, a naturopathic pediatrician in Portland, said she sees many people who are hesitant about vaccines, and they often ask if the Tdap vaccine is right for them, specifically. "The answer is always yes," Gibbons said. "I can say, 'I've seen whooping cough, and it's truly awful for infants.'"

If you make a billion dollars — or $500 million or even $100 million dollars — and you keep trying to make more, then there is something seriously wrong with you. It's a mental illness akin to hoarding or drug addiction.

My job is largely email and new outlook sucks.

Also, please don't call and email at the same time. I am not reading the email immediately. My job is more than just email/phone calls. Please don't call multiple times.

Please give me time to actually review documents before getting back to you.

I know we’ve been talking about the 25th Amendment being invoked for years now, but we should probably be talking about it a lot more and a lot more seriously right now.

Couple of things here:

1. Trump says he took another cognitive test recently

2. In front of "large numbers of doctors and experts"

3. He called the examinations "long...and very boring"

4. If you're given 3 cognitive exams in one year by panels of doctors, something is VERY wrong with you
Donald J. Trump @realDonaldTrump There has never been a President that has worked as hard as me! My hours are the longest, and my results are among the best. I've stopped Eight Wars, saving many millions of lives in the process, created the Greatest Economy in the History of our Country, brought Business back into the United States at levels never seen before, rebuilt our Military, created the Largest Tax Cuts and Regulation Cuts, EVER, closed our open and very dangerous Southern Border, when previous Administrations were unable to do so, and created an "aura" around the United States of America that has led every Country in the World to respect us more than ever before. In addition to all of that, I go out of my way to do long, thorough, and very boring Medical Examinations at the Great Walter Reed National Military Medical Center, seen and supervised by top doctors, all of whom have given me PERFECT Marks - Some have even said they have never seen such Strong Results. I do these Tests because I owe it to our Country. In addition to the Medical, I have done something that no other President has done, on three separate occasions, the last one being recently, by taking what is known as a Cognitive Examination, something which few people would be able to do very well, including those working at The New York Times, and I ACED all three of them in front of large numbers of doctors and experts, most of whom I do not know. I have been told that few people have been able to "ace" this Examination and, in fact, most do very poorly, which is why many other Presidents have decided not to take it at all. Despite all of this, the time and work involved, The New York Times, and some others, like to pretend that I am "slowing up," am maybe not as sharp as I once was, or am in poor physical health, knowing that it is not true, and knowing that I work very hard, probably harder than I have ever worked before. I will know when I am "slowing up," but it's not now! After all of the work I have done with Medical Exams, Cognitive Exams, and everything else, I actually believe it's seditious, perhaps even treasonous, for The New York Times, and others, to consistently do FAKE reports in order to libel and demean "THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES." They are true Enemies of the People, and we should do something about it. They have inaccurately reported on all of my Election Results and, in fact, were forced to apologize on much of what they wrote. The best thing that could happen to this Country would be if The New York Times would cease publication because they are a horrible, biased, and untruthful "source" of information. Thank you for your attention to this matter. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN! 908 ReTruths 3.07k Likes Dec 09, 2025, 9:11 PM

A screenshot of a post from a guy named Jon Scott who says, "How to tell a Maine Coon cat from a Norwegian Forest cat: the Maine Coon cat looks like Ron Perlman. The Norwegian Forest cat looks like Linda Hamilton. If you weren't watching Beauty and the Beast in 1987, I see no value in further elaboration." Below this are two pictures of cats. One looks like Ron Perlman. The other looks like Linda Hamilton.

True joy recognizes and acknowledges pain, tears, sadness, and every other emotion that exists within the spectrum of human experience. It is about discovering and finding balance, equilibrium, and a sense of steadiness even in the midst of difficult, trying, and turbulent times.
