MTG always seemed lizard-like to me. You know, a specie that survives for millenniums by instinct. Her break with Trump seems significant because of that.

Saw a magazine article in which the Ford CEO continues to whine he can't fill high-wage mechanic jobs. Says it takes 5 years to learn how to swap an engine. Ignores that instead of forcing people into community colleges on their own dime, Ford did all training for those jobs years ago on their dime.

So, do we all agree Speaker Johnson will swear in the new Democratic Rep from NM and adjourn 1 second after the budget bill so the Epstein files vote can't happen. Return will be after Dec 2nd when he hopes to keep a Republican seat in Tennessee, preventing the Epstein files vote from passing.

Why a bunch of Senators who are retiring are leading the negotiations is something to really think on
I don't know what the Senate is going to do. But if they do in fact fold in exchange for nothing, they will be living up to past performance. To expect the Senate to carry out the will of the American people is to misunderstand why it was created in the first place.

So, Trump's reign is filled with "no one even thought about doing this outrageous thing before" actions. Now Speaker Johnson brings that to the House. No Speaker ever delayed swearing in a duly elected Congresswoman. Cannot think of a Speaker who shuts down the House for months. What's next?

24 hours to digest Mamdani's win. When Trump calls him a Communist I can't help but look how allied with Russia, still proudly Communist, the President remains. Add his ties to China & it seems to me Trump has more leaning Communist traits than the new Mayor of NYC.

Not commenting on the reason Andrew Windsor lost his title. But you either buy into "Royal by virtue of birth" or you don't. In every monarchy, a King's son is a Prince by birth. So, if a Royal Prince can be stripped of his Princehood, doesn't that negate the whole premise of royal by birth?

I am sick of our "security theater". Tried to login to a retail account. Required password & text verification & then decided I needed a new password. System didn't like my password choice. At this point, I don't need to order from them. It's my friggin' phone which also has protection.

Just for fun, I called Sen. Moody's office to ask about the East Wing demolition.They referred me to her statement on X. I asked if she posted it on other social media- crickets.The staffer read me the statement & it seems destruction of a building is merely a renovation as done by many Presidents.

My grandfather leaned socialist but my father's generation were so traumatized by the depression & and WWII that they just wanted to settle for a peaceful life. They ceded control to politicians who then sold themselves to corporations. Now the choice is between facism & what I call socialism light.

My god, Andrew Cuomo is just awful. & Rhule let him get away with so many self-serving revisions to what is on record. Disappointed especially when he was allowed to claim that weak Democrats are the reason Trump is sending the National Guard to cities. He has nothing to offer but failed policies.

Am I crazy? It seems to me Democrats might do well to explain their budget refusal is also because Trump is not honoring expenditures in the previously passed budget. That is irrefutable & has no ties to immigration. Tell people that every other President follows the budget as the law he signed.

When & if we escape our current crime wave by ICE & associated agencies, there must be consequences for every police agency, district attorneys, & politicians who allowed the lawlessness to occur. Defund the police since they choose not to protect their own residents. LEO protect themselves only.

The GOP is lying. They are distracting from their failures to address the health care crisis that they created.

Want more proof the stock market is the billionaires' playground? With a government shutdown looming & another hit to the US credit rating certain, the stock indexes closed up today. Tax the rich until there are no billionaires. Tax the rich. The oligarchy we have become must end.

In the grand scheme of life, missing out because you placed 17 instead of 16 which you say is because of transgender competition is not life-changing for you. For that athlete, acceptance can be life-changing or life affirming. (15 bio women did beat you too)

Everything is so broken. Just tried to create my f'in "gov login". Can't do it. System inoperable. Which means I can't get to some info I need on the SSA site. Used my same login & (new) passwords for years there. No longer valid. Sick of these so-called enhanced security measures. It's all theater.

Not enough to force women to carry all pregnancies to term. They must also suffer fever, pain, etc without relief regardless of consequences to woman or fetus. All according to the people now in charge of our nation. God I have never hated so many so much.

If your local TV station is not airing Jimmy Kimmel tonight, here's what to do. Contact the station and let them know Kimmel needs to air to meet your community's standards. Then let the FCC know the station information and that your community standards prohibit censorship. About all we can do.
