I think it’s telling that AFTER his 1954 censure, the disgraced demagogue Joe McCarthy still had a 34% approval rating!

The trajectory of this Consumer Price Index graph is eerily similar to the shape of πŸ„rump's mouth.

You know how sometimes you HAVE to buy something even though you know you shouldn't spend the money?

Looks like he's protesting for Palestine as well. It's pretty eye awakening what Israel has been doing lately. Just openly committing genocide. At first I thought it was somewhat justified after how terrible October 7 attacks were. Then you start to see how brutal and sick what they are doing is.

This morning, in the middle of a busy commercial district in Atlanta, I saw a man standing alone with a flag on a street corner, protesting for Black Lives Matter. Amid the rush of business as usual, his unwavering presence inspired me.

I'm just waiting for this regime to propose tearing down the Statue of Liberty. Sell the scrap copper and melt down the steel.

The word obliterate is enjoying a real resurgence these days, and for me, the word will now forever be associated with the bombing of Iran.

I have a lifelong compulsion to mow the lawns of my neighbors, and the one next door to me is just screaming for attention, but I am letting it go! Progress not perfection.

After about a month of discomfort and illness I have finally fully recovered from Shingles, and am back at work. What a trial.

When, oh-when, will it go away. Seems like an illness with a mind of its own. Thanks! πŸ€•

It's Day 11 with a serious case of shingles. I am not getting well, and I'm starting to feel truly dejected. What a trial this illness can be.

I have fallen ill.

Shingles.

Just the absolute worst, most miserable thing ever. πŸ˜”

I take my food seriously. For example, I once drove 7 hours driving through an LA rush hour to have dinner at La Super-Rica Taqueria in Santa Barbara.
I wanted good tacos, and I wasn't settling...

I was wondering the same exact thing! It's rather embarrassing, how foolish we must seem to all the extra terrestrials out there.

I’m pleased to see Harvard fighting back. Proud to be an alum. Not surprised they’re dropping the gloves thoughβ€” Massachusetts is tough! They brewed a bunch of tea in the hahbah back in the day.

Omg that poster is PRICELESS. This was Rich Stadium in Buffalo, New York. I held the front wall.
