TO EACH THING ITS MOMENT
Closet Progressive, so, Democrat.
❤️AOC but our electorate has proven too backward to elect a woman, OR progressive!
Proud mom, mil, and grand mom —
ALL eight are warm, witty, principled, Dems, and have built exceptional lives.
We who hate trump beyond measure tend to think of Melania as nicer; well she’s GOT to be nicer. Who isn’t? But she is a grifter; just not such a pro grifter. But lessons from hubby are serving her well.

I wish former honorees would return their awards in protest.

This is us! We deserve the world’s everlasting censure.

When we are informed “proceeds will be given to a charity,” how many readers know that means “NET” proceeds will be given to charity. After “costs!”
In this case, the “designer’s” substantial fee, the hourly rate of the CEO’s chatting and dining with the “designer,” and a part of Gucci’s overhead.

Betcha every relative and next-door neighbor of every member of the White House Press Corps is being investigated by ICE as we speak.

Thank You SO MUCH !!!
To get up in the morning and have a good out-loud laugh instead of a sad silent cry is so good.

… they all would have spent their lives behind bars.

Good point!

You had better make sure to provide enough rocks on the island for them all to crawl under.

Do they still have “citizens’ arrest?” I would be happy to perform such a role.

There must be a gazillion of us who can scroll through the trump junk without weeping. I cannot.

Why didn’t more of us realize he looks like a malevolent toad?
That must be why he needs all those toadies to shore him up.

He is on painkillers.
TELL US WHY????

When we use the trope “We are all descendants” — Scandinavians could get only the lowliest of jobs in Nobelist Sinclair Lewis’s “Main Street.” Many window signs offering employment in NYC and elsewhere said “no Italians,” “no Irish,” “no Jews.” You’re allowed to be a racist of white descent.

We should also be reminded that many “illegal” people of brown skin are descendants of native-born Texans and Californians whose land was annexed by the USA via war.

I am in trump’s age group (85), as are many of my friends. None of our doctors have prescribed preventative MRIs; of course, we have presented no symptoms of dementia.

Doesn’t quite resemble the pretty-boy weekend host anymore, especially since we know what’s in his evil heart.

We should be reminded that many “illegal” people of brown skin are decedents of native-born Texans and Californians whose land was annexed by the USA via war.

Yes! But they are WHITE.
December 1, 2025 at 7:57 PM
Ugly inside and out.

Good essay. English teachers might mark you down for not actually stating that Cuban-Americans vote overwhelmingly MAGA.
December 1, 2025 at 7:48 PM
Thank you for this.

But we are able to bear the burden of immigrants paying income taxes? Having Social Security payments deducted from their paychecks? Paying the same sales taxes as the rest of us? Purchasing goods that contribute to our GNP? No
