I'm beginning to feel

afraid. Just a little bit

right now, but I didn't

think I'd ever see such a

wrecking ball roll so

easily across and

through our country. I

thought, silly me, our

party would take P2025

seriously and start

planning to stop it. They

are still, for most of

them, in a fog. We, in the

grassroots, seem to be

the only ones really

paying attention and

doing something

Such deliberate cruelty, payed for by our taxes. There seems to be no end to the depravity.

Mama Bear is an imposing feline...and Turtle as a little kitten was as cute as a bug's ear (although why bug's ears are considered cute is anybody's guess).

Rick Taylor. Got detained at Miami airport because he had a 'California' sticker on his luggage. Yes, the same Rick Taylor who was an aide and campaign manager for the last Rethuglican mayor of Los Angeles. Also, ICE showed up at a youth baseball practice on the Upper West Side. The coach fended off the 'agents.' https://www.msnbc.com/deadline-white-house/watch/baseball-coach-fends-off-ice-agents-looking-to-question-little-league-baseball-players-243205189622

America seems to hate its kids. 1) Let gun rights supersede kids' rights to safety in their schools. 2) Let ICE manhandle and drag away their parents in front of them, while having no plan to provide safety for the kids. 3) Let weapon wielding masked ICE and assorted goons raid their playgrounds, Little League fields, and churches, so kids will have no place to feel safe. (Do they bother to clear these Icers on the Central Registry of sex offenders in all 50 states before they're allowed to be around children, as all other "professionals" must be?) I hate what's happening to our kids. And that doesn't even touch on banning their books, killing the DOE, and making bullying of some kids somehow okay.

It's not just kids. It's each other. I'm reminded of a story about an ego-inflated sportswriter being offended by sitting in the stands. He turned to his colleague and said "do they know who I am."

"They do and they don't care."

Well, the most shocking thing to me is that chump listened to anything Melania said. Can’t fathom, war against females is a real thing.

I imagine that Mitch is the happiest man alive if anybody can beat out chump being the most powerful man in the world. Mitch is reaping the reward for manipulating every action by Congress for decades in order for the SC to do republicans bidding. He did what Repubs planned, cheated, threatened and bought. And it paid off, so far. Hope I live long enough to see him eat the pile of Schitt he prepared for Dems.

Mama Bear has that look that my Lulu has when she is displeased. But still a beauty. Thanks for those diamonds in the litany of horrors.

Of course JD and fam got boo'd and the evil eye on their visit to the Magic Kingdom.

People pay big bucks and stand in long lines to enjoy their time at "The Happiest Place on Earth."

Do JD and entourage stand in line? Or pay market rate? They probably got boo'd by MAGA types too!

Sorry, Tom, but there IS such a thing as weather modification. The technical name for it is, "climate change."

Yes, but it's not what they are talking about with their sci-fi fantasies.

After supplying more weapons through Europe to Ukraine and giving Putin 50 days to come up with a peaceful solution, it seems as if tRump is just fueling the fire for more fighting. Putin will use his 50 days to bomb the hell out of Ukraine and Ukraine will use its new weaponry to kill more Russians. How is this diplomacy and how does it support ending this gruesome war?

Trump and his State Department eschew diplomacy, as evidenced by the massive firings at State. All they want is the fight because they think it makes them look tough. We no longer have soldiers, sailors, marines and airmen, just "war fighters," so bring on the war, I guess. And forget about any war fighter behavior like that Tom reported on in his piece about the pilots' role in aiding hungry Berliners during the Cold War.
