Hitting the 🤍button is in support of your work, Tom. Sadly, not a whole lot to "like" in the news these days, although I am lifted by the various elections where the Dems are wiping the GOP like dog (milder bad word) off their shoes.

Thank you, TC. The best part of today's TAFM is Karen's pretty kitty.

Thanks Tom. Your report

matches the mountain

weather today; drizzling.

All the cats here are

hiding out. We have a

new addition. Pure

white, adult female with

gold eyes, so I don't

think she's deaf. 1 of us

is enough. 😉

Having had a white cat with one blue and one green eye (deaf) AND being more and more in the same boat - I get it! I do have a dog who is more deaf than I am. Which creates the necessity of shouting his name and clapping my hands a lot. I do sympathize!!

Would someone put this tantrum throwing child down for his nap?

Trump wants to block the opening of the Gordie Howe Bridge(Canadian hockey player who played for the Detroit Red Wings for 25 years) connecting Detroit with Windsor, Ontario, a bridge the Canada paid to build to facilitate manufacturing and commerce because the other nearby bridge, the Ambassador is always congested (There's tunnel traffic too.). The bridge would allow for faster and less costly transport of manufacturing parts and truckloads of new vehicles. Here's what the six-time bankrupt POTUS had to say (from Bloomberg):

“I will not allow this bridge to open until the United States is fully compensated for everything we have given them, and also, importantly, Canada treats the United States with the Fairness and Respect that we deserve,” Trump said on social media Monday. “We will start negotiations, IMMEDIATELY. With all that we have given them, we should own, perhaps, at least one half of this asset,” he added. These shakedowns are tiresome.

So much for that comeback of manufacturing jobs. He's bankrupted small farmers and small businesses, and now he's going after auto manufacturing jobs, probably because an auto worker called him what he is, minimally, a pedophile protector and because the Canadians are now the bright light of North America, with most Canadians unified in their contempt for Trump. And, sadly for us, the Canadians may not be back in love with us after Trump hits fertilizer stage because no country any longer has trust in us. Party on, magas.

He has business dealings with the owner of the older bridge that will become obsolete when this one opens. With Trump, it's always something unscrupulous.

Thank you Tom. Always. And Karen’s

cat portrait’s a wonderful ‘chaser’ after the dirge of maladministration 11’s ongoing unlawful activities…

I confess to a numbing sense of exhaustion today…

have a feeling this happens to others at times perhaps?

As always, TC, comprehensive with attention to the horror courtesy of this fascist regime and their epstein class cabinet and supporters. Eventually the veil will be torn off completely. Or maybe it is more appropriate to allude to the Picture of Dorian Gray. Eventually the eyes of all will be opened and all who are not the crazy ones will be justified for their opposition. Remaking the government to safeguard democracy will make what we're working to stop likely to be more difficult still. HCR writes a lot about preparing for rebuilding. There is no returning to BT "before trump". The before times led to where we are now.

The before times led to where we are now. Indeed. We need to recognize that this has been in the works for 40+ years and dig deeper.

Ignoring the law has become SOP for these vipers. All the while blathering the BS about following the law. When will the press wake up. WOKE desperately needed

Holy fuck! She didn't think it was a big deal?! “I’ve not been one of the members who has glommed on to this as an issue,” Lummis said in an interview. Guess 9 year old victims changed her mind. Disgusting.
