Thanking u on Thanksgiving eve for the news about the House— thank God Johnson will have difficulty— I can’t stand that man’s face! Oh boy giving the piglet brigade trouble should be infinitely creative work!

1. Hooray for CA.

2. As usual with the orange felon...no one chosen so far for cabinet positions or sub-cabinet positions has one shred of morality, ethics, or intelligence EXCEPT for joining the grift and keeping their lips puckered to kiss his fat white ass.

3.Listen to this to know just what the legit business community thinks of the fraud and conman in chief

May this whole project 2025 fail spectacularly because the American people, including many who voted for the lying cheat, see with the clarity of lightning across the horizon exactly what the score is with this crowd of kleptocrats, dumbasses, and ultimately traitors to the United Stares.

A tad too late. They won’t waste a nanosecond in their implementation of their most anticipated cruel actions.

Not if there's no money for the operations.

With what will be a very narrow majority in the House, I hope Jeffries will not bail out Mike Johnson when the magas start throwing their four-year-old-screaming-in-aisle-seven tantrums about legislation. It's beyond time for tough love with the maga party. One episode of withholding votes without comment should serve as a shock to the maga system because it's long been clear that they factor in Dem capitulation in matters related to improving the nation. It's always allowed them to continue their crapshow. No wins for them. None. Remember, it didn't seem to hurt Trump at alll that he strangled the life out of the bipartisan immigration bill. Voters will be just as likely to forgive and more likely forget Dem no votes.

Tough love, how about take no prisoners

Power of the purse folks. If

our dem reps - looking at you

Hakeem Jeffries - don't start

taking a harder line then they

have, pause or stop your

donations through ActBlue.

Yes, they have a pause

donation button. While many

of us may wind up financially

hurting if Trump and his

billionaires get their way, our

reps get a nice steady

paycheck every month, plus

perks and most of them have

their own mega bucks to fall

back on if they have to

tighten their belts a notch.

And drop them an email or

phone call and tell them why

you're holding back your

grocery money.

I have unsubscribed since I have no more $ to give. Mainly because the IRS thinks that recent widows can pay more than muskrat, and cleaned out my savings.

I wish we could've flipped CA-1, but LaMalfa is pretty entrenched here with the ag community, a very important constituency in this area. But perhaps he's not the Trumpiest rep in the house. But overall, I'm very pleased California has played a big part in putting a damper on the MAGA agenda.

Happy Thanksgiving to you, your sweet cats, and the entire TAFM community!

Every single person who voted for a republican deserves every single thing that goes wrong in their lives as a result of this election. Unfortunately, those of us who actually love this country and the Constitution will suffer with them.

My favorite New Yorker cartoon has two intellectuals (they have long hair and wear corduroy jackets in front of a large book case) discussing this.

Intellectual #1: Those who fail to understand history are condemned to repeat it!

Intellectual #2: And those of us who do understand history are condemned to repeat it with them.

Hard to be on the right side of that.

💙 this Thanksgiving edition and also your idea about “think pieces”. And just a thought…what about adding an occasional pic of the cat kiddo(s) with those posts…four-leggeds always seem to bring a semblance of sanity amidst the chaos…

Tune in Friday. :-)

Did chump pick them or did Kevin Roberts. Or did Robert’s allow him some leverage (revenge) in the beginning so he would take the flak before he and oligarch’s “adjusted” cabinet take over.
