One of the scenes that made me laugh every time: Trump’s review stand was so gigantic(it has to match his ego), and the crosswalks so wide, that every time a tank or any military vehicle drove by the review stand, they looked like miniature toy tanks, lol. Also comical was the image of a...

I saw the news of the shooting just as I was leaving for a rally yesterday. My first thought was “Democrat lawmakers, and it’s “No Kings Day”, gotta be someone in MAGA”. But I was concerned it might not be, at a worst time imaginable, on the day of thousands of rallies against Trump. Nothing...

So Trump thinks it was good that Padilla was dragged out of the press conference because “he looks like an illegal”. The administration replied: "Michael Wolff is a lying sack of sh*t and has been proven to be a fraud," he said. "He routinely fabricates stories originating from his sick and...

Speaking of showboating, here’s Noem assisting 10 guys with rifles converge on the home of a 28 year old pregnant mother of four. Noem showing Trumpian resolve. But is this what impresses people? Or is the cruelty impossible to hide, when you come right down to it? Are we supposed to be proud of...

Thanks str8line, looks like we’re heading for a showdown of epic proportions in some form. And it’s weird knowing one is living at such a jaw dropping moment in the history of one’s own country. It’s surreal. Am I in a Twilight Zone episode? Or a Philip K. Dick novel? lol. Dick’s “The Man in the...

Noem’s presser yesterday in Ca., where the senator’s take down happened, saw Noem saying, in so many words, but very difficult to argue it does not capture the essence: “we are here to overturn the will of the people of LA, and the people of Ca., to elect leaders of their choice”. So, she’s...

What’s so sad about, and why it’s so flat out scary to hear, the present moment in America described in such stark contrasting sides, is it really highlights the near impossibility of peaceful resolution. I say “near”, to preserve some hope for a miracle.

Anytime! Better to have that background info, and good to share the statement.

Yes, there is a link to the statement here. I had copied it from Facebook. https://www.eurekalert.org/news-releases/1078727 The wellbeing of Americans and the country’s longstanding position as a world leader in science and technology are in jeopardy due to the actions of the Trump...

Thanks, fish. Here’s hoping better days are ahead of us.
