This is the perfect Valentine’s Day article.

This is a gift article. It can be read without a subscription to the New York Times. It’s really worth taking about 15 minutes to read it. You can even listen to it if you like, which takes about 20 minutes.

Narrator: Barbara Pilling was a young model in New York. She first saw Donald Trump at a party in the late 80s. She's never spoken publicly about it before.

Pilling: He said, how old are you? And I said, 17. He goes, oh, great. So you're not too old, not too young. That's just great.

This is undoubtedly part of the reason that Trump told the EPA that science doesn’t exist, it’s just a “hoax.” Pollution is GREAT.

THIS is Orwellian. And just plain stupid & greedy. 🤬🤬🤬

Unfortunate decision. Smith + Wesson should pay dearly for the lives of seven and for the 49 shot in the July 4, 2022 massacre in Highland Park, IL, the town in which I lived for almost 40 years - high school from which I graduated in 1963.

Attorney General Bondi‘s goose will be cooked after the midterm elections of November 3. There is no question, but that she lied in front of Congress in the course of her testimony. It was recorded, and it will certainly come back to haunt her by early 2027.

Interesting perspectives to read at length. Bad Bunny's performance was nothing short of spectacular. In the long run he'll make a helluva lot more than $1,000 after 100,000,000 people saw him perform beautifully. Only 6,000,000 watched Kid Rock. Ha Ha.

I remember my father loving this song, wearing out a 45 listening to it over and over and over and over until he was able to memorize the words:

“ flip the blood to me Bud”

I will probably delete Instagram simply because it’s part of Facebook, which has banned me because of my political view. However, it’s very powerful ad that needs to be seen by as many people as possible.

My first wife passed away 35 years ago at age 42 - cancer. She left me to raise our three daughters, then ages 14, 11 and 9. Somehow I was able to struggle through difficult times. Seeing this post, I am sickened by the thought of the indirect desire for open incest by a father of a daughter.

Me: Hi Blanche,

Killing someone—whether accidental, self-defense, or premeditated—must—be
investigated. That's basic U.S. criminal law, no exceptions ().

Your attitude defies protocol. FBI reports confirm four bullets hit Good; DOJ can't just dismiss public evidence—investigate now ().
BREAM: Is the FBI investigating the ICE agent who shot Renee Good?

BLANCHE: What happened has been reviewed by millions of Americans bc it was recorded. We investigate when it's appropriate. That is not the case here. We are not going to bow to pressure. So no, we are not investigating.

it’s hard to imagine, but it keeps getting worse for Trump. It’s amazing that he can say it with a straight face and continue to besmirch the Obamas. It seems to be a clear time for the 25th amendment to be invoked. The man is off the deep end - dementia on steroids

I guess nothing should surprise me anymore about him.

"...So it was late last night — which happened to be the fifth day of Black History Month — when at exactly 11:44 pm Trump posted a video that included a depiction of Barack and Michelle Obama as monkeys..."

The only word I can come up with for this is UGLY.

On January 6, 2021, President Trump said: “ if you don’t fight like hell, you’re not gonna have a country anymore.”

It’s been five years since those words were used to incite the riot that followed.

Forgot it?
