3 months ago my brother called me from a halfway house & asked if I'd help him find a place to live. Due to mental health issues he hasn't had a place to call his own since Feb. 2009. Today we got the call he's been approved for sr. housing & can move in tomorrow. I fucking cried

So many people declaring they're "done w/Joe & Mika", after their trip to grovel at Trump's knee. For the life of me, never did think they brought much to the table, so I won't need to be "done with them". I never started w/them. Wondering what they had that captured ppl's attn?

This is a clusterfuck combo of greedy & ignorant consumers chasing higher interest rates on savings, combined w/a grievous lack of government oversight. And don't expect the new Trump admin to do anything to make it better for people. cnbc.com/2024/11/22/syn…

When a photo of this guy pops up in your feed, where does it rank on the list as far as people who make your sphincter clench in anger and your blood pressure rise? Definitely in the top 10 for me.

With these absurd Trump appointments, I'm trying to visualize an equivalent absurdity if it were on the Dem side. Maybe Michael Moore for Secretary of Transportation, cuz he made a movie about GM. Alec Baldwin for Homeland Security, cuz he shot a gun once. Any other ideas?

I read stories like this all the time. Look, I know that there are always going to be ppl who struggle, many thru bad choices, but many not. We can and should do better, as a country, for ppl like this. We probably won't, but I can hope. businessinsider.com/unretired-boom…

This is the retail worker's "Everyman". Funny stuff, and on the mark!

This is what u get w/fascism. This is simply the first of many u can expect to see in coming years. The American experiment is dead, tho most Americans don't know it yet, while a lot of them are happy abt it. Will take another revolution to get it back. talkingpointsmemo.com/news/north-car…

Apparently the Mahomes rule doesn't apply to peons like Jared Goff. Helmets to the chin are apparently permitted.

Huh...why didn't someone tell Biden it was just this easy? 🙄😏

Not sure if it's for better or worse, but Oliver Willis pretty well articulates where I am right now. I'm done talking w/Trumpers. Seek to help those who didn't choose this death spiral. They're the victims. Those who chose it need to reap the whirlwind. tinyurl.com/4jpekzks

Remember back in abt 2006-2007 when u couldn't find a single damn Republican in DC or any Republican voters who claimed to have enthusiastically supported Bush's total clusterfuck of a Presidency? That day will come for Trump. Only question is whether anything is left to restore.

Response by a Trump supporter on my FB page today about the Trump tariffs & the economic plunge that is underway." "It’s going to be huge!! Gotta feel a bit of pain first. I have 100 % faith!" BTW, faith almost always implies certitude even where there is no evidence or proof.

I find this story extremely satisfying. And the reason this happened in Campbell County, and 9 other counties in Kentucky? Because MAGA is nothing more than a cult, with fealty to no one else but Donald Trump. cincinnati.com/story/news/202…

If ur a rube, just rub some ivermectin on it, pray to Jesus. All will be fine. Everything happens for a reason. If u or ur loved ones die, it's all part of God's plan. GOP & their family, however, will get science based health care. Not like all you rubes. cincinnati.com/story/news/202…

Scary to think how many people I know view this whole Iran/Israel as great cuz it means Jesus might be coming back soon. As for the rest of the people I know, they're likely scared shitless cuz all our Prez cares abt is appearing to side with a "winner". talkingpointsmemo.com/edblog/thought…

After 29 yrs living in rural area we bit the bullet & had a whole house backup generator installed in Feb. Got tired of dealing w/flooded basements & stuff all these yrs. 4 outages since installed, including tonight. Power restoration est. is 11 AM tomorrow. Liking my decision.

Most hated thing abt Facebook is the constant stream of right wing accounts endlessly popping up in my timeline. When Minnesota Dems were shot not a single new left leaning account popped into my timeline. But there's a constant barrage of right wing shit that shows up every day.

Is it unreasonable for a person to be suspicious of any data like this these days?

This song has been my cell ringtone for years. I grew up loving the music of the Charlie Brown Christmas show.
