At Third Act @thirdactorg.bsky.social we are by definition older Americans. We've seen more stuff than most people.
But we've never seen the president demand the execution of members of Congress.

Beshear: Let me be clear. The president has both the funding and the authority to fund snap during a shutdown. In fact, every other president in every other shutdown has done so. People going hungry in this instance is a choice that this president has made.

amazingly enough I did actually check to see if the generic lisdexamfetamine that might as well have been sugar pills for all the good they did me were from Sun right after seeing this skeet. they weren't, for the record; my utterly useless lisdex was from Lannett.
Reposting because, and I say this with love, some of you are going to see this and go “oh shit, I need to check my bottle” and then immediately forget about it so if this could affect you, go check right now before you even scroll to the next post, I mean it.
As a headsup for anyone on Vyvanse, you should go check your lot numbers.

Dick Cheney’s legacy is that he turned 9/11 from a national tragedy into a global disaster. He did so through a mixture of arrogance, stupidity and greed and blighted the last quarter century.
