I use marigolds as sacrifical plants to deter and distract slugs, aphids and other pests from attacking my important plants. This tweet shows #LindseyGraham is Trump's Marigold, offering his last shred of sanity in sacrifice to distract from #Trump eating away at US democracy.

I invoked that ancient Irish curse "May he die roaring" upon Trump yesterday. I've never done that before. God forgive me.
Do you think Trump's end will come at the end of a rope, or the blade of a guillotine?

I mean it's either Nuremberg or Bastille.

No more worries about Trump starting WW3, or the shenannigans in Dail Eireann so. The end of the world is nigh. Tomorrow, apparently, when half the sun will disappear, according to that reliable soirce @news.rte.ie

I'm starting to feel the deranged, erratic moron may not make it to 2028. The trajectory of his incompetent, unqualified, fearful and fawning administration is more economic hardship, an angry MAGA and implosion. How that implosion manifests remains to be seen. #Trump #25th #Scapegoat #Vance

The Commonwealth 'family photo' will be interesting considering Trump may well have invaded Canada by then.
What in the name of absolute fuck is this?
“I Love King Charles,” Trump wrote in a post on his Truth Social platform, sharing an article from The Sun stating that Britain’s King Charles wants to offer the US an associate membership in the British Commonwealth.

The forces of darkness are massing. We all feel it. Everywhere, evil is filling the void left by apathy. Lies are smothering truth. Shameless men manipulate the stupid. Greed prevails over honor & duty. The weak bow down but you must not! To stop Trump we must show our determination & his weakness.

This is exactly what I've been saying for weeks
Friday’s I newspaper is virtually the only one that really captures the gravity of the situation: the US security guarantee to Europe is over and Europeans have to - rapidly - start acting accordingly.

Riddle me this: #Trump wants to leave Europe to her own defences, no longer be the leader of the West - yet is central to the 'peace negotiations' regarding #Ukraine and #Russia ? He could butt out and let Europe negotiate instead. #Scholz

'Etcetera' is pronounced "et-SET-uh-ruh."

There is no other word in the English language that begins with \et-set\.

This is probably why many people (not you, of course) pronounce it “ecsetera” or “excetera.”

I’m betting Rubio understands how this makes him a jihadi target. He probably also knows he only has protection as long as he remains a useful tool.

“You tried to teach me right from wrong
Too much wine and too much song
Wonder how I got along”

Great lyrics throughout this song.
This is one of those songs that combines sadness & joy… simultaneously.
ENJOY!
