So, this also means married women who change their address will need to re-register with all of the supporting documents?

Even if they are a senior citizen moving to a smaller place?

How does this work?

First it was the shoes…

Then it became the tie, color, width, and length…

Then it became the suit, color and style and tailoring to appear baggy and mussed…

Don’t forget, the matching lapel pins…

And for the final sartorial flare, matching baseball caps…

Huh? How can a shield be offensive, militarily.

Maybe he meant offensive to other countries, as in the phrase, ‘being offended by…’

Need more detail.

Will there be background checks?

Training?

Oversight?

No myth. At 6 weeks, it is still an embryo no matter if you count the weeks as from the last period (gestational) or from conception.

I used to teach ‘embryology’ at the advanced college level, aka, developmental anatomy.

We’re retired.

What we hate are computers calling us…

..at least 30 calls/day. Medicare, Final Expenses, grandchild in trouble (fake), etc. So bad that we put an aggressive call blocker on our land line phone system.

Silence is golden…

Will Lutnick be under oath?

If not, a waste of time.

If so, perjury if he lies.

So, they think that the Almighty can be manipulated by awful events created by self-aware humans who choose to cause death & warfare in order to force the Rapture/Return?

If so, the New Testament emphasizing Love your Neighbor is now Null & Void?

Look at the retirement The Count provides for his workers. Wonderful boss!

What school or academy are these guys from, smirking in their matching blazers?

adjunct salary at $100K?!?

Not bad for part time teaching with incomplete syllabus prepared…

Does he even show up to teach the class or will he ‘let’ a grad student do that…??

Maybe Trump wants a court jester in order to divert the attention from his regime’s missteps, wars, corruption, SNAFUs and Epstein Files.

Somebody’s gotta be the newest lightening rod….

Bannon w/Eptein’s help.

Honeypots, honey traps, recorded Kompromat on nearly every person of importance: politican, billionaire, elite-wannabe’s.

Yes, they planned this, were successful w/this.

Rs & Ds w/no spines. Speaker Johnson’s capitulation.

Soon we will be hearing about the Bannon Files?

This whole Trump regime is not listening to lawyers, ethical lawyers, that is. Or judges. Or judges’ rulings.

Note: Stephen Miller is not a lawyer, bachelors degree from Duke but no law school, no bar exam.

Is he telling ppl to listen to him instead?

Violating “woke” Geneva Conventions is putting our own troops into harms way.

Seen as lawless invaders, our troops will be targets no matter where they are.

Even when their tours of duty are over with & they come home.

Vietnam vets did not come home to parades…

Air Wisconsin sold its company and planes to known ICE contractor located in New Mexico.. Changed from struggling regional to taxi for ICE detainees.

As a WI resident, I am appalled but not surprised…

Word salads with alcohol, sounds about right for this guy, plus a compulsion to think he is George C Scott…

So Noem doing a vanity ad campaign illegally by awarding no bid contract $$ to a political ally is all of a sudden a good thing because of “impressions?”

That is, corruption is OK if it works?

Meanwhile taxpayer $$ goes in pocket of an ally?

Make it make sense…

I agree. Not under oath escapes possible perjury charges, so Lutnick can get away with lying his a** off.

And mislead the oversight committee…

Interview, not Deposition?

Will Lutnick be sworn in before this ‘interview?’

Even cheap cuts are not so cheap anymore. $4/lb chuck now $7/lb & upwards.

Ground beef=per lb, no bargain if 25-30% fat.

Organ meats? Liver high in cholesterol. Bovine brains off limits because of Mad Cow Disease. Kidney stinks while cooking.

Why not suggest dog food. Ppl used to eat dog food.

Actually, it’s pretty mild when added w/ potatoes, sliced onions & carrots to a braised chunk of arm roast (or Chuck roast). Braise the meat in Dutch oven, then cover & @325F ~2 hrs, then add veggies, a bit of water (for steam), then cover & cook a few more hours or so.

If this root vegetable is trimmed & waxed, it’s a rutabaga, aka Swede, aka ‘bagie,‘ not baggie. Delicious peeled & chunked in pot roast.

Live near Cumberland, Wi, ‘Rutabaga Capital of the World.’ Title earned mid-20th Century bc largest exporter.

Every August, Rutabaga Festival. Check it out.

Isn’t collective punishment for the crimes of a few a violation under international law?

If not, has the entirety of FL’s medicare/medicaid ppl been denied their benefits bc Rick Scott & the largest m/m fraud?

”Good stewardship”=nebulous under Trump regime, aka ballrooms, AF1, arches, etc.

Now do telemarketing scams for medicare. That’s where the fraud is, getting seniors to sign up for their plans by harassing them daily.

We get between 20-30 telephone calls per day. Cut the snake off by the head, not punish ppl collectively for purported fraud.

Why isn’t Sen Scott in jail?

TikTok & Instagram (META) are not far behind doing what X has done.

So corporate ownership of these platforms is not the answer for liberal content unthrottled.

Independent content needs a neutral platform.

Substack? Bluesky? Links referring to outside sites for liberal content?

I follow several content creators on Substack but don’t have the $$ to subscribe to all of them. I’m retired, rural, w/ limited income.

Once corporate entities ‘support’ a platform, content gets throttled by algorithms designed to deliver what the corp wants.

Look what happened to X.
