Trump supporters have their guy as President, complete control of Congress, a weaponized SCOTUS, FBI, and DOJ, and they're still outraged.
That's because MAGAs are inherently miserable people who will never understand joy.
That, and deep down they know their guy is a moron.

Staffer: a DL and birth certificate.
Me: The documents don’t match
Staffer: Then a marriage certificate.

The administration is removing phone support for Soc Security recipients. Making it more difficult for seniors to get their checks. It’s a back door way to cut SS benefits. Horrific.
If you know anyone who is impacted, please help them get online to get their benefits approved

My husband ran a successful business and used our local rural post office daily. My elderly neighbor’s meds come through the rural post office.
The post office is one of the only places left open in my rural community. Losing it could quite literally kill my town and my neighbors.
