I'm a 60+-er who likes to read books and watch (mostly old) movies. Am planning to stay enraged for the next 4 years, with an occasional bout of joy.

Watch this. Then remember that the president doesn’t care. He cares that his old ass gets richer in the hand full of years he may have left.
And his sick rich friends. The most corrupt evil man to ever serve as president is ignoring real evil

💔 A European Parliament interpreter could not hold back tears during the speech of 11-year-old Roman Oleksiv from Lviv.
The boy survived a missile strike on Vinnytsia on July 14, 2022, which killed his mother - it was the last time he saw her alive.

The White House has become “Weekend at Bernie’s.” Remember all the Fox segments on “Sleepy Joe” asking who’s in charge at the Biden WH? Shouldn’t the same questions be asked now?

This administration is demanding elected officials be tried for sedition for suggesting US soldiers consider not complying with unlawful orders, and are now providing a clear example of why.

While the right lose their goddamn minds about a lone wolf doing something horrendous in DC today, let’s not forget that last week in the White House they all gushed over a genocidal, journalist murdering tyrant whose country financed 9/11.

while I’m being cranky, access journalism needs to go. When the president does his “I’m alpha because I insulted you” thing somebody needs to fall on his sword and say “what the fuck is wrong with you, old man?” on a hot mic. the hero of the wizard of Oz is Toto.
