Trump suggested the turkeys he pardoned were fed a "steady diet of grass, beef, and other fattening foods ..."

Hmmm... I fed a mouse to our kids three laying hens. They really went after it and the one who got it spent the next half hour (at least) running around their yard playing keep away.

“California’s redistricting scheme is a brazen power grab that tramples on civil rights and mocks the democratic process,” Attorney General Pam Bondi said in an emailed statement.

Does she know this was voted on by the California electorate, unlike Texas redistricting that was pushed by Trump?

When John Barasso claims that "President Trump has been very consistent" It casts into doubt everything else he said.

He became very agitated talking about the Epstein papers as well.

Can I whine about Amtrak?

Their web site is broken. I was able to register for a frequent rider account but cannot book a ride. After entering all of my information (From, To, Date, Traveler) I get

We've experienced an unknown error. Try again later or call us at 1-800-USA-RAIL.

Jump scare! 😬

Big box of disposable diapers in the trunk when SWMBO returned from shopping. 😱 (We're both 72, but still...)

They're for a food pantry donation at the local church.

Giant puffballs. They first show up about the size of a tennis ball. Then they grow to the size of a soccer ball (football for those on the continent.)

Then they disappear. Overnight. When they reach full size.

I think aliens are growing right in my front yard.

Football season. That time of year when no one seems capable of scheduling/managing an event that finishes on time, causing TV I'm interested in to miss the DVR schedule.🙄

No, Charmin, I am not tired of changing the toilet paper roll. fact, I rather enjoy it.

It's rather satisfying to take the wrapper of the new roll, stuff it into the old empty roll and toss it into the recyclables. Truly one of life's little joys.

A Chicago judge called the head of ICE to account for their actions. That person in charge - Hott - has just been sent home and replaced with someone else. I cn see how the questioning is going to go.

"I don't know. I was not in charge at the time."

John Thune. Giggling when you are being interviewed by PBS News Hour's Amna Nawaz does not make you sound very serious.

Also your promises to "perhaps" consider discussions with Democrats regarding the health care issues makes you sound like Lucy holding the football for Charlie Brown.

I heard that Gavin Newsom won a Nobel Peace Prize.

Has Trump heard about this?

Happy National Taco Day to all.

I smoked a couple pork butts recently so we'll have pulled pork tacos to celebrate. (We might have had pulled pork tacos regardless. 😀)

Republican Senator mike rounds (South Dakota) : Trump will follow the law.

No. Trump has demonstrated time and again that he has no respect for the law and will be happy to drag things through the courts while he does what he wants.

rounds: Just end the shutdown and we will negotiate.

In Michigan I would have expected one of the flags to be the confederate battle flag.

Watching "A Walk in the Woods" with Redford. I've watched it before. As a backpacker (at least in the past) it resonates.

Started off with some technical issues. Our usual "player" (a PS3) hasn't been able to read DVDs for years. I tried my laptop (hub with HDMI via USB-C) and got video .

Who are those big breasted women who want me to refinance my house?

I'm curious if women get the same ad or if they get ads with Fabio instead.

Every once in a while YT comes up with a decent suggestion. Tonight it popped up "Seven Nation Army" which is one of my favorites. It's so sparse as it starts and yet is missing nothing. Even when it builds, there's not all that much there (and no more needed.) And the riff that just repeats...

I'm a little creeped out when I get an email from Medicare and there's a picture of "Dr." Oz saying:

"Stay Healthy with Dr. Oz."

His name is against a blood red background.

I see Trump is planning an announcement to Congress today. Let me guess:

"I'M DECLARING AN EMERGENCY AND DISBANDING CONGRESS UNTIL YOU STOP ASKING ABOUT EPSTEIN!

THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER."

In the news and WRT Trump's efforts to stop the war in Ukraine.

"It's complicated."

No. It is not. Putin continues to assert that he will not relent until his goals are complete. Full Stop.

Negotiation is futile. And empty threats won't move Putin.

How's that going?
