Folks I really love spending time with you and doing my job as a commentator but I am not going to lie. I cut down a problem sweet gum tree today, pruned up our persimmon tree and did some repairs on my old jeep that is becoming my granddaughters at the end of the week. It was nice to unplug.

Watching Instagram reels is so good for your ego. Between the butt crack bottle rocket guy and the took a golf ball to the face trying to catch a drive guy I feel like a damned GENIUS in comparison!

This is what we are going to do. Shopping is crazy right now. Instead of dreading it we are going to try and find someone that makes us smile. Heading in for last minute Thanksgiving shopping. Wish me luck.

Leavitt: "Not a single order this president or administration has given to our military has ever been illegal, nor will it ever be. This administration respects and abides by the law."

That sound you heard was every GOP elected official with a lick of sense absolutely SHITTING themselves thinking about the visual of Mark Kelly back in uniform before a military court as Whiskey Pete's handpicked chucklefucks try to railroad him on bogus charges.

ICE deported a woman who owned a home in the US for 30 years. A judge banned ICE from deporting her to Sierra Leone where she had been tortured, so it deported her to Ghana, which kidnapped her and sent her back Sierra Leone anyway. ICE is part of this illegal conspiracy.

can't believe this ancient mesopotamia shoe wearing ass said people need to dress up at the airport
United States Secretary of Transportation Sean Duffy is seen wearing a blue suit, white shirt, and tan shoes. He's shaking hands with someone in a black outfit. A close up of his shoes show weird stitching on the side. They look like they're the first shoes ever made in history.

Doing some rearranging & Autumn cleaning

Pretty happy with the new configuration of the game room

I’m the #TTRPG player. My wife is the board gamer #Gamer #Goth
A room with one solid wall of floor to ceiling bookshelves built in. The shelves are of dark wood with ornate flourishes. They are absolutely packed with graphic novels and gaming books. Gargoyles, skeletons, and other Gothic tchotchkes peer out from various surfaces. The hardwood floor is a dark warm color. The walls are painted deep red. A cozy room with deep red walls and hardwood flooring stained a dark warm color. We see an ornate wooden table of rich, dark wood with three dining room chairs of a matching wood upholstered in ivory brocade. The window behind the table is covered with a long black curtain. A gaming room with a warm hardwood floor. The walls are painted deep red. The furniture – dining chairs, a table, a side table – are all of dark wood. Two half-sized bookcases are filled with an extensive assortment of board games. They are surmounted by a carefully arranged row of boxed sets of games.

The DOJ has indicted Democratic congressional candidate Kat Abughazaleh over ICE protests.

This is outrageous and needs more coverage.
DOJ indicts Democratic congressional candidate Kat Abughazaleh over ICE protests
Abughazaleh called the charges "yet another attempt by the Trump administration to criminalize protest and punish those who dare to speak up."

Someone must lose their job over this cover up.
A tweet from Olivia George reads: “A Homeland Security agent working with D.C. police shot at a man during a traffic stop. A D.C. police officer told a judge he was instructed by a superior not to document the shooting in a court record, lawyers told @EmmaUber7 & me.” A paragraph from a news article explains that a federal agent shot at an unarmed Black man during a traffic stop while working with D.C. police. Lawyers accuse city police of misconduct because the gunfire was omitted from the incident report. A D.C. police officer testified that a superior told him not to record the shooting in court documents, and all charges against the man were later dropped. A follow-up tweet from Olivia George says: “We’ve updated the story with some more details.” She adds that a DHS spokesperson stated the agent fired “in fear for his life,” claiming the man drove at officers in an attempt to run them down. However, a D.C. officer testified that no law enforcement officers were in front of the car and that the man merely bumped into another civilian vehicle.

Republican lawmakers, particularly in the Senate have relinquished their responsibilities to the American people and to the Constitution they swore to “support and defend”.
Today they serve to please Donald Trump

Wouldn’t it be great if we had a functioning Republican Party that had a few people in it who were willing to occasionally stand up and call out the worst abuses of power and corruption of their leader?

Instead, the Republican Party operates like an organized crime family.

I can’t get over this.

Mariners fans cheered when a Blue Jays player got hurt. Dodgers fans did too.

Canadians? We donated to a Seattle Kids hospital, because kindness is how we play the game. 🇨🇦💙

That’s the difference: cruelty vs. class.

Yesterday, ICE again denied our congressional oversight visit to the San Diego federal building to follow up on reports that ICE is detaining people there in inhumane conditions.

It doesn't matter how much ICE tries to stonewall us.

We're going to continue to show up and push for answers.

Detention centers cannot currently be visited by members of Congress, leaving the condition of those detained unknown by the general public.
