So the sociopath and his butt-buddy have deployed Marines to LA.
Those poor Marines. Regardless of the rationale the wanna-be is using, the civilian population is not supposed to be at the business end of our armed forces, and service members know it. From my perspective, it’s an unlawful order.

I had a conversation with my sister yesterday about the fate of our country, and she made a remark which keeps crossing my mind. “You’re either hiding Anne Frank or you’re a Nazi.”
Republicans will go down in history as quislings and appeasers. And Nazis.

The economy is in the shitter, ICE is deporting US citizens when they check in for their immigration appointments, were the laughingstock of the world, but THIS is what Trumpty Dumpty and his insane clown posse thinks is important. Wag that dog, you miscreant.
The Trump administration accuses the University of Pennsylvania of violating sex discrimination laws. (Gift Article)
The Department of Education’s findings stem from an investigation into the university’s decision to let Lia Thomas, a transgender woman, compete on the swim team. Penn has said it was following N.C.A....

People of good conscience can disagree about the role of government in our lives, and both be considered patriots.
Key words: “good conscience.”
People who willingly ignore the law and the factual basis of our government to advance their own greed and ego…belong in clown cars. Full stop.

My elder dog has started to shred used Kleenex all over the house when she’s unhappy. Things that make her unhappy: One human is home, and the other is not; Requesting a snack does not result in immediate compliance; Telling her to go lay on one of her FIVE beds instead of in the way.
