That's what's so infuriating. Lots of people who could be standing up for what is right, for the survival of the Great Experiment, opt for self-enrichment, or succumb to threats, rather than emulate E Jean Carroll and poke the bully in the nose. They are the Sunshine patriots Thomas Payne described
3/3 stupidity is horrifying. That's the half of the population who voted for him. The "journalists" and elected representatives and obscenely rich people who kowtow to him are even worse.
Ask me how hard it is going to be selling this after 47 years of woodland, prairie, & wetland restoration. No, wait. Don't ask. Let me just put my head down and keep grinding away to finish all the "someday I gotta..." projects before I hand it off and go to some undefined future who knows where.
🧵5/5 Obviously times have changed, amendments passed so we can never get all the way back to that. But the philosophy should still prevail. Limit lobbying to meeltings in office with transcript. No gifts. None. No trips. No parties. Kill Cit Un. No PACs. Kill one-party rule. Give oversight teeth.
Trump is a vindictive malignant narcissist obsessed with the fact that he has fucked up the entire country &its' standing in the world & everyone, foreign & domestic, knows that & hates him except those those he intimidates or bribes & that Obama and Biden were excellent POTUSes. Ah has spoken.
This is whom the Old South sends to Congress. He probably has one of these license plates
I get these a lot, especially on your feed. Does this mean you blocked them after replying, they deleted their post, or do I have them blocked?
Someone finally got this through to him and it's eating him alive. Along with having been conned by bibi when no other potus was so stupid
Illinois has 17 districts. 3 red. Already gerrymandered. The blue ones are relatively small geographically, clustered around Chicago. 12, 15, and 16 are corn/soybeans/red. They COULD be combined into one- they all touch now. But creating 2 more dem districts is a challenge. Pritzker said if needed.
Hey, mike fludd! "Democrats" are duly elected representatives of We the People. If we say don't fuck up our national treasures to satisfy Auric Goldfinger you can stick your arrogant ranting where the sun don't shine.
All of the comments criticising them for having him come be his horrible self could be dispelled in one simple move. Give the guy the award at the dinner, with a big blowup of the picture. Just before he speaks. Sumbitch would do SOMETHING awful. Some kind of tantrum. On camera.
But fully conscious and immobilized by one-side paralysis. With a caregiver like Annie Wilkes in "Misery."
And if that fails, I'll ride in on my namesake, the fabled Irish bull Donn Cuailnge and just take it.
Predictable and justifiable. Trump's one-two punch of scrapping the deal that gave a foundation for negotiation on other issues and then attacking brutally demanding they go back to their side of the deal with nothing in return is as untrustworthy as a country could be. We are all complicit.
There will be no weather today. May the news be equally benign. Uness it happens.
