I have more respect for the Iraqi journalist who threw a shoe at George W Bush than any of the cowards in the current White House press pool.

"The Road Not Taken"... a poplar grove (cultivated) near Andrew, AB. i captured this in the fall when most of the leaves had fallen but there were still leaves on the trees in the background and the soft late afternoon light was filtering through them

Rand Paul: "This is an insane policy. It's inconsistent. It's not war. It's not the way we've ever done this. If we can blow up a boat in the ocean, what about when they get to Miami & put it in a truck? Can you shoot a grenade launcher at the truck? No! We arrest people b/c sometimes we're wrong."

The United States gives far too much power, money, and influence to silly people with heads full of nonsense.

Holy shite! This is absolute madness.
Somehow, we need to disrupt the supply of power-worshipping freaks with no moral boundaries.
This got largely overlooked, but note that Karoline Leavitt actually praised Trump's vile rant about Somalis as "epic." The cult worship has gotten so bad that his open racism now must be celebrated.

On the pod, we dig into this and his threat to denaturalize:

“Given Trump’s position on situations like this, he’s going to either need to fire himself or refer himself to the Department of Justice. Trump has deemed that this type of misrepresentation is sufficient to preclude someone from serving the country.”

Anyone know what the fuck is going on with new car washes being built everywhere?

Is it a future water rights scam?

An Aurora Framed

I planned for this shot to have a nice wee shape, with dark skies across the top. The trouble with Aurora though, they don't listen! So much bigger and more intense than expected!

This man was courageous enough to stand up to Trump and Vance.

So it's important to post this message and photo to 27 million people.

Don't just "like" it -- that only means that YOU'VE seen it.

Postb it, blow it up and get it out there!

Respectfully I must disagree with the esteemed congress woman @crockett.house.gov who said Trump is an 'enemy of the United States'.

No. Trump is the enemy of the entire human race. He's a #PEDONAZI with 5,000 nukes that's already a proven #SerialKiller. Otherwise I'm with her 100% on all points.
