Thank goodness that the local Democrats found a way to get in front of a camera with a microphone to pontificate about ICE. That's so much more effective than actually DOING anything about this horrific state of affairs. www.sandiegouniontribune.com/2025/06/02/w...

Huge layoffs at my company today. Some that hit close to home. Thanks Mr. President. #tariffs #numbskullpresident

@lastweektonight.com I love you, John Oliver, but your joke about an older woman with an OnlyFans account was beneath you. Jokes about older women's sexuality are the kind of "punch down" humor I don't expect from this specific white cis male. Very disappointed. Do better.

Is the plan with DOGE and tariffs to so break the government as to have people pleading to privatize services because they have been fed the lie that competition leads to better outcomes? I don't think all of this destruction is for nothing. It has a reason.

Am I the only one feeling like we are at the edge of an abyss and we are going to fall any second? Because that's the way everything feels right now. I've never felt such instability in my lifetime.

I just came here to say that I installed new motor in our reclining sofa ALL BY MYSELF. Part: $69.00; Labor: $0.00.

I am in total despair for our country and fear about the future for my kids and, frankly, for me. I will be retiring in 4.5 years (If I am lucky enough not to be laid off in the meantime). Will Social Security be there? If not, I'll be homeless.

Please help!
It’s been inspiring to see everyone come together for LA,,, but there’s one community I need to highlight.

Not enough is being done for the black families after the LA fires. Ive partnered up with GoFundMe and the BMAC to create ONE main GoFundMe campaign to immediately help those in need.

This is chilling. I believe the word for what we may be facing is "Schriftleitergesetz." Look it up. I am scared for our country as I never have been -- and I've lived through everything from the Cuban Missile Crisis to Watergate, to the current chaos. Truly scared. www.nytimes.com/live/2025/01...

If we are going to outlaw potentially regrettable acts, let's start with marriage and bad haircuts.
Kavanaugh also brings up "detransitioners," people who "regret" their decision to transition genders. Like Alito, he cites European countries that are "pulling back" from gender-affirming care for minors, saying it's a "yellow light" or "red light" for the court that Europe is "pumping the brakes."

Do you think that Trump will pardon all the Jan 6 people who were tried in Federal court? He has no jurisdiction over the other courts, does he? Other than political pressure? This is so chilling to me.

Has anyone noticed that both the Times and Wapo are publishing articles that are each essentially a hagiography of George Will? Is he selling a book? Why the synchronized praise?

Most of Trump's appointments won't stay in place very long. Too many big egos to last together for four years. Musk will not be able to take the slow pace of government. RFK will think he's the smartest one in the room. Trump will ignore them or get bored or annoyed and fire them.

Don't get me wrong: I love Charlottesville. I lived there for a decade and plan to retire there. But the hilarious do-gooder incompetence of the execution of this well-meaning project is so...Charlottesville. infocville.com/2024/11/30/c...
