When you are a bit older and 90% of what you historically read seemed rationale….some good…some bad…dealing with constant “this can’t possibly be true” headlines is a bit tough…like switching out gills for lungs mid life

A little irony…or hypocrisy

Proof of the world’s shift in diversity. I see only one dude with blonde hair currently playing on Sweden’s World Cup team It’s a small world. After all.

Kind of crazy that we live in an age where GW Bush is so much more like these Democratic presidents, than he is like the current Republican president.

Hey Texans. God just spoke to me and said if you promise to vote for Talarico in Fall, the Spurs will win the west. And if you pledge to vote for the D presidential candidate in 2028, the Spurs will win the championship this year. Ball is in your court, Texans

This guy a really good climber and clearly deserves a disproportionate share of the slush fund. Mad skills

Pretty sure I got a parking ticket when Biden was president. I’m thinking i should be compensated maybe 20k.

Plan for after 2028. In the spirit of playing to always win Give HUGE incentives for Ds in Alabama, Arkansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, South Carolina, or Tennessee to relocate to Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, or Wisconsin.  Game over for 20 years.

Nice job Hungary

Labor unions are good things. That said, only about 10% of the work force is in a union but about 40% of all folks make less than $20. Seems to me that a big messaging focus for the D’s should be raising the minimum wage to $20.

My president accepted a donated aircraft from Qatar. Would have gotten any other president impeached. This ranks as the 383rd worst thing he has done.

Start making these signs for the midterms- “Wanna get drafted and go to the Middle East? If so, vote republican !!“ Should make the under 35 crowd go “hmmmm”

There is a possibility that they will start the draft. Let everyone know…especially voting aged folks under 35.

I am glad that Trump often does not follow through on stuff he says… But, a world where everyone acts this way is unpleasant—and unsustainable. Civilization itself depends on enough people aligning words with actions most of the time. His behavior violates a foundational rule of social life.

Things that make you go…hmmmm

Celtics v. Suns starts at the same time as the state of the union next Tuesday if looking for a viable option. Rearranging your sock drawer also a good alternative

I am ok with increased efforts to stop FRAUD in this country! Let’s start with Tax fraud….given that it is probably 100s of times more common than voter fraud…

Washington modeled what it means to put the good of the nation over self-interest and selfish ambition… he carried himself with dignity and self-restraint, honoring the office [of the president] without allowing to become invested with near-mythical powers.

Thinking Trump’s February 24th address should be renamed - The state of the division….

I think the thing I hate most is that Trump is an unkind,crass, uncaring , arrogant, chaotic , dishonest, corrupt bully And as the most powerful person on the planet…this gives the ok to others to be an unkind, crass, uncaring , arrogant, chaotic , dishonest, corrupt bully. The impact is huge.

Nixon and friends were innocent angels compared to team Trump….amazing what they are getting away with… watergate would be like the 73rd worst thing on Trump’s list…

I wonder when Trump dies…scientists will get to look at his brain…discover a few new elements to add to the periodic table…and go “ah, that explains it…”

NBA trade deadline today. Hopefully Washington trades Trump for a future 2nd round pick

RIP Mickey Lolich

Hmmm…i don’t like who is at the top….but hopefully enough rational interference to survive until 2028…

Nationalize elections? Hmmm…Ok…I guess there’s no need for the electoral college then..

Proud of my mayor in Rip City… To those who continue to work for ICE: Resign. To those who control this facility: Leave. Through your use of violence and the trampling of the Constitution, you have lost all legitimacy and replaced it with shame…..go home.

Fraud is fraud . No excuses. Fraud is easier when there is less government oversight…and poorly designed government programs. Ummm….wasn’t the CARES Act on Trump’s watch?

Hey ICE…looks like there are jobs in Russia if job security is an issue…

16. Gun suicides (often a larger share of gun deaths than homicides) 17. Chronic disease prevalence (diabetes, heart disease, obesity) 18. Supply chain fragility and economic resilience 19. Foreign influence, espionage, and national security threats 20. intergenerational poverty Get working !

11. Political polarization and democratic trust erosion 12. Cybersecurity threats (critical infrastructure, data breaches) 13. Healthcare system inefficiency and waste 14. Declining labor force participation and workforce shortages 15. Public pension and Social Security solvency risks

6. Income inequality and stagnant wages 7. Climate change and extreme weather impacts 8. Aging infrastructure (bridges, power grid, water systems) 9. Education system underperformance (K–12 outcomes, literacy, math) 10. Mental health crisis (depression, suicide, lack of care)

20 other things to work on… 1. Rising national debt and long-term fiscal instability 2. Health care affordability and access (medical debt, uninsured, underinsured) 3. Housing affordability and homelessness 4. Opioid and drug overdose epidemic 5. Violent crime

Hand over voter rolls in exchange for getting rid of the electoral college. Ok. Deal. You go first…

framework of a concept of a preliminary future notion that could theoretically lead to a deal or initial discussions with respect to Greenland…or maybe Iceland.

rip Renee Good. Sadly…Proof that Good doesn’t triumph over Evil

Got it. Shooting someone in the head for no reason is an authorized federal duty that was necessary and proper in that situation. Because if she had driven away she wouldn’t have been shot in the head. Seems legal to me.

Looks like Mr. Trump wants to take over the hemisphere. So now instead of the responsibility of eliminating poverty for 35 million people in the USA. He wants the responsibility for the other 175 million people in poverty in the Americas. He’s a giver. Not

The economy was horrible during Biden’s presidency. Trump’s net worth more than doubled during Biden’s presidency. Hmmm…

In my lifetime, I don’t expect : great healthcare, minimal homelessness, good public transit, reasonable gun laws, a smaller military, great education, aggressive climate change policies. Yet, an authoritarian who was 180 degrees from Mr Trump could deliver these things I still choose democracy

GW, I had a dream last night where your dad was scolding you and telling you to spend all your remaining energy traveling to Red places and urging Trump to step down. Dreams can come true. Ready, set , go ! Make dad proud

Is crime a problem in most big cities? Sure. Would I rather have my federal tax dollars spent on local crime enforcement than nat. defense? Yep So, cut the defense budget by $100 billion and redistribute $ to cities. Give them some discretion on how to spend including mental health Ready set go.

Top ten states for homicides. Hmm, 8 of 10 are red. Thinking Mr. Trump should work with the governors of these states if this is deemed a federal issue. Governors Reeves, Landry and Ivey. Get your act together !

Vaccines? Schmaccines ! Also, Stop signs and traffic lights restrict my freedom. I will decide what is safe to eat and drink ! Building codes? Schmuilding codes! Flammable clothing. If I want to buy it, I should! Gosh, I wonder if I can afford a nuclear bomb, that would be fun to have. Idiots.

In whatever city the National Guard is in….bombard them with blank applications and encourage them to quit and become part of the local police department. Wanna help fight crime? They’re just young kids. Look them in the eye and say….do this right !

One more month and we will solve autism. Hurray! What an idiot

Time for a new Oregon map that slices up District 2 and makes it blue . Steal from district 1 and 3. two cherry stems along the Columbia River . a slim corridor on the north snakes into Wash. County. And a corridor runs into Portland. include 75k in each bubble at the end of the corridors.

Booming economy?-Divide inflation by gdp. Multiply it by the interest rate. Add the binomial distribution to the categorical variable. Then do the Hokey Pokey and turn yourself around. Oh wait. The president said it was booming so it must be booming. Equally valid methodology. What an evil man
