I want a job where I only have to put in 12 days of work in 103 days - and still receive full pay and benefits. Oh wait, maybe I should have run for House of Representatives…

In case you’re wondering what the noises are from underground, it’s not tectonic plates, it’s Chet Huntley, David Brinkley, Howard K. Smith, Walter Cronkite, Harry Reasoner, Edward R. Murrow and so many others, spinning in their graves at the appointment of Bari Weiss as Editor-in-chief of CBS news

If Trump’s rationalization for sending National Guard troops to US cities is to protect government facilities, then shouldn’t they now be protecting the White House?

“No Kings” protests are not “We Hate America” rallies, they are “We Hate What America is Becoming” protests

Does anyone else feel relieved when you realize that the weird noises in your house are just the ghost that lives there and not the sounds your HVAC system makes before it has to be replaced?

Did you know that if you conducted a mental health assessment on a large corporation that, based on their typical behaviors, they would be classified as sociopaths? Explains a lot…

What is the response of this administration to the death of Charlie Kirk, their so-called “champion of free speech”? A promise of retribution to silence anyone who dares to criticize them. Rules for thee, but not for me 😞

Trump claims “hundreds of governors” have been calling him for National Guard help. Last time i checked, there were only 50 governors. Would love to know the names and locations of all those extra states - had no idea they existed lol.

Back from 2 weeks in the UK and Ireland- number 1 reaction from everyone we met was, “What the hell is going on over there?!” They truly are concerned about Trump’s mental state. Ditto

So remind me again why it was not necessary to call out the National Guard on January 1st when Trump supporters were attacking the Capitol, but it is now?
