49 seasons later the unthinkable has happened and Survivor is boring. I do not like watching a tribe get decimated. But more than that I don't like the way Jeff was being so cruel to them when they were trying to do the puzzle. It was completely unnecessary. Also, Jeff, layoff the Botox. #Survivor49

There are widespread reports of ICE agents abducting people while masked, without warrants or identification. Due to recent events, we strongly advise: do not open your door or car for anyone you don’t know. That’s the message. No need to elaborate.

When Trump announced his 145% tariffs on China, I happened to buy a new pack of microfiber cloths that day and noticed they were made in China.
On that day, they were $5.45 a pack, and I checked — in the past, they had always been that price.
Today, they are $8.99.

Agree, I just need that eventual self-destruction to happen quickly and not destroy the entire country at the same time.
His track record speaks for itself. While we continue to resist, we should take comfort in that he is deeply incompetent, not very bright & his policies are hurting even his most devoted supporters. Let's not get in the way of his inevitable self-destruction.
