So we bought a new to us, used car last week. It’s electric. It’s not a Tesla. We will do everything we can to avoid ever having to use a Tesla charger. If you want a Tesla, there’s a lot of used ones going cheap right now. But seriously, who now wants to buy a Tesla.

After the way the Tangerine-Tantrum and his little lackey behaved toward Ukraine this week, I think the International Community should treat Trump the same way they treat other autocrats: no more invites to any international forums or event. The man craves attention. Don’t give it to him.

A number of federal agencies, from HHS to the USDA, have laid off employees only to rescind those terminations days later. An expert says it "suggests something about mismanagement of government."

I love my home town football team, but Ipswich, you are breaking my heart.

You remember how some people lost their minds that by removing statues celebrating the confederacy “the radical left” were somehow re-writing history… well, this administration is literally ordering the National Parks Service to re-write history on its web pages…

“Be isolated, be ignored, be attacked, be in doubt, be frightened, but do not be silenced.”

Bertrand Russell

Seems appropriate for these times.

I wonder when the MAGA faithful will realise what is being done to the constitution and the economy, and turn their flags upside down again.

So people voted for the Tangerine Tantrum because inflation was too high and eggs cost too much. How did that work out then…?

Last weekend was miserable: Ipswich lost, England lost, and the Tar Heels lost. So far today, Ipswich have won, and England have won… no pressure Tar Heels…

So I’m curious: when the Department of Government Efficiency is getting itself tied up in lawsuits for acting illegally and possibly even being a non-legitimate government entity, how is that stoping the wasteful use of public money? Asking for a friend, obviously.

So the Tangerine Tantrum is imposing his tariffs: adding cost to American Consumers, and raising inflationary pressures on the US econmy. I guess we sit back and wait for the recession that he will also create. :( www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...
Here's what could get more expensive under Trump's tariffs
The tariffs would likely apply to most categories, although oil and gas appear to be exempt for now.

As far as I can tell, this is a real image and not AI created. And this administration can paint over all these values. But it doesn’t make them not be there. They are still there, under the paint. And one day they will be uncovered and restored. www.dogshirtdaily.com/p/redecorati...

And don’t has started: pardons for insurrection supporters, withdrawal from the WTO and Paris Climate agreement (again), and the insistence that no mater how you may feel, your genitalia define who you are… :(

Tomorrow a twice impeached, convicted felon, and adjudged sexual offender will become the oldest President at his inauguration of the US. And all because his opponent was a woman. Elections are too important to be left to electorates. Electorates are stupid.

Just doing what we do in the house, and there’s a bat flying around in the hall. OK. Stay calm open a door and let it out. But while I was unlocking the door, it flew into the living room. And now I can’t find it…

For 39 of my 54 years of life, Britain has be governed by Tory governments. To blame or complain that Labour has failed to turn the NHS and the economy around after 6 months when the Tories have spent 39 years messing things up, feels a little unfair.

Lord Dampnut complains he is at the short end of a two tier justice system, but who else would get this sort of “sentence” after conviction? The US justice system is unjust and fails to provide equality under the law. www.nbcnews.com/politics/don...
