Another “Truth” post pumped full of lies and crazy rhetoric—but let’s be sure to also avoid normalizing the President’s belief that he isn’t obliged to answer to half of US elected officials.

My children, Lyric & Aurora (Rory for short), have uncommon but not unconventional first names with family middle names. My son’s middle name is my father and my father-in-law’s first name. My daughter’s middle name is the same as mine and my mother’s. They rarely encounter others with their names.

About a decade ago, I worked with a landscaper who did projects at Doral Golf Course. He said Trump would “hand wave” and entire parts of the project would need to be redone or added to.

Milo hates when you try to block his view of Kiwi. Here my daughter attempts to block his vision and eventually puts Milo in “ear jail” which she finds hilarious.

Here’s Kiwi in her full glory. Sometimes we enjoy time where I let her explore while Milo is locked out of the room.

Kiwi, our resident bearded dragon, likes to sit on my shoulder. I have to keep an arm free because I won’t let this little stalker get near her. Milo doesn’t break his gaze the whole time I have her out.

The regime does not care in the slightest for the rule of law, truth, or public sentiment. They don’t think they’re gonna ever have to turnover control.

That’s awful. I hope that the subsidies come through and you’re not facing that kind of choice.

Agreed! I didn’t consider that the issues with communication stem from a requirement to filter messaging through the White House (which I trust NOTHING that comes out of it). In my mind, I assumed it was due to being stretched thin and weary.

NTSB and FAA staff have been working without pay for 36 days. I’m inclined to cut them some slack.

I assume the rule was made to keep retailers from hiking prices to SNAP recipients.
This regime openly violates laws left and right, then uses rules and regulations to threaten law-abiding people and organizations who attempt to provide aid.

US foods are engineered to be addictive. I don’t blame people for needing help — the processed food industry is just as greedy as the pharmaceutical industry.

Yes! Thank you for articulating the ridiculousness of this regime and not falling into traps like these. I hope to see more of this from your colleagues.

Irony aside, what Google is doing is going to kill many companies. Gemini drives down organic clicks. A well designed ad campaign used to be reasonable, but the costs are outrageous now. My company paid $16 for a click for “Norton Shores IT Company” and there are literally 2 MSPs in the city. 🤯

This made me chuckle, but Paul Blart is far too sweet of a fictional person to be compared to this obvious failure to meet minimum physical fitness standards.

She definitely didn’t make the presentation - she didn’t know where to tap to progress the slides. She had no part in the development of the presentation. She just wants to make her dad happy. I feel bad for her.
