Isn't it odd that the United States has enough money to suddenly run Venezuela, but not enough to run our own country?
There is always cash in the piggy bank for bombs to kill people, but never for healthcare to keep them alive.
Yes, it might make paying taxes legal & effective. As it stands, we have taxation without representation. Hmmm, where have I heard that phrase before.?
Bernie Sanders: "We need to be thinking seriously about a moratorium on data centers. You gotta slow this process down. It's not good enough for the oligarchs to tell us 'you adapt.' Are they gonna guarantee healthcare to all people? What are they gonna do when there are no jobs? Make housing free?"
Rick Steves act exemplifies true Christian charity. This is the type of faith an atheist like myself can respect.
Steves purchased the property to prevent it from closing. Many homeless people had come to depend on the Lynnwood Hygiene Center, which had operated rent-free on the property since 2020. n.pr/3MKbmJH
Where's Banksy when you need him/her/them?
And so he should. The taxpayers of this country shoulder the financial burden of all these investigations and deserve to know what they've paid for. Let the chips fall.
They should be known as the UNSROTUMS because they certainly lack the cohones to do the correct thing.
Your library card is the most priceless card you will ever own.
NY Times: “This a presidency that celebrates nastiness and spite, not empathy or grace, a reflection, perhaps, of a coarser era in American life.”
We don't. We endure it because the entrenched corruption in the system has rendered the average voter irrelevant.
Some of the best movies ever made were by Rob Reiner. They made us laugh and think: The Princess Bride, When Harry Met Sally, A Few Good Men. And he was a force on screen as well in All in the Family and so many films.
What a tragic loss. Words fail with news like this.
Screaming into the void.😱😱😱
Trump doesn’t pardon criminals to show mercy. He pardons them because he sees himself in the criminals he pardons.
Self-absolution.

This is amazing!!
This guy! My yard has 6 feeders, but only 3 regular customers. Still, he feels the need to hoard these 2 for himself. Must be a One Percenter!
Humanity is doomed.
AI is leading the charge.

Pup-in-a-tub-day!
Checking in during a big move- in which I have been too busy to follow too much bs.
Is he dead yet?
Can I wake up secure in the knowledge that "the rapture"
occurred & all those oh so pious magats have been ushered to their reward?
The grass! Lots of work ahead. I wish I could borrow a flock of sheep or goats for a week!
So, TACO Tuesday strikes again. Reversal on the statement of ICE easing up on workers in the farming, hotel & resort industries is back on. Again, nothing learned. No brain space available.
Sadly, that's the truth. Rights, freedoms and responsibilities are the very bedrock of society. Everything else is influenced for good or ill by how society functions.
Morning musing: mere days following a report that his NJ golf club gets poor marks for food & cleanliness, suddenly "many good long time workers" are being swept up by ICE and now hotels, farms & presumably, golf resorts, will no longer be targeted.
Did someone have a FAFO
moment?
And should the lightning come to town
It has one job- find the clown.
Rain, rain, stay this day;
Help wash all those tanks away.
SpottedHorsemint taking over the backyard. Good for the bees & butterflies!
