As Trump moves to kick 2.4 million more Americans off SNAPβ¦
His admin spent nearly $9 million on crab legs and lobster.
Iβm keeping it quite as well.

βLet us eat one last cookie, and then we will stop.β
Iβm thinking I was a bird. A very bad bird.
Iβm just beginning to believe in that possibility.
The claim that Iran was planning an imminent attack against the U.S. β the conclusion that Trump took away from his discussions with Kushner and others β is directly contradicted by U.S. intelligence agencies.
Bare shins paddling in

Frog and Toad run for their lives down the mountain, being very brave. From "Dragons and Giants" In *Frog and Toad Together*
βWe are not afraid!β screamed Frog and Toad at the same time.
Then they ran down the mountain very fast.
They ran past the place where they saw the avalanche.
They ran past the place where they saw the snake.
They ran all the way to Toadβs house.
Starting to believe in reincarnation.

stubborn and unmovable

French poster for Casablanca has an illustration of Humphrey Bogart and Ingrid Bergman, their faces pressed together, the name of the film in red, and cast names and the director's name.
Been a while since a π½ so tonight's was one of the best: Casablanca (1942, dir. Michael Curtiz) - the thrilling, romantic, funny, beautifully shot ensemble tale of cynic-with-a-lover's-heart Rick finding his passion for life again, with a cast at the top of their game.
"Welcome back to the fight."
Several tables are set with individuals behind them waiting to be served. The tables have signs β Education, Sciences, Arts, Healthcareβ¦ no one is serving them. All of the servers are delivering piles of money to the table where WAR is sitting. Political cartoon is from the 1950s Nothing has changed.
It has been this way since time immemorial.
Spending a billion a day on a βnotβ war.
Meanwhile, all you suckers can starve, die because you canβt afford healthcare or find new treatments for disease. And who the fuck needs education and arts?
We arenβt mad enough!!
