The current regime took a week to abolish USAID, which is three times as old and was not in the news every day for brutalizing children

Ohpleaseohpleaseohplease!

How can so many people in positions of influence in our society somehow think it is ok for a US president to think he can simply pick and choose world leaders, launch wars, claim territory, seize assets, wherever he wants whenever he wants? This is madman movie villain behavior. Absolutely nuts.

It’s not a war you fucking idiots. It’s an exchange of violence between two polities to impose a political outcome through conflict.

We have totally gone native with red beans and rice with andouille sausage and greens if I am lucky on Monday. Ready in 15 minutes.

Kristi Noem’s firing could have a chilling effect on cabinet members’ ability to award nine-figure no-bid contracts to their cronies.

When Jeopardy was doing rotating hosts after Alex Trebek and before Ken Jennings, he was one of my favorites! He was natural and handsome and charming and engaging and handsome and did I mention handsome? And then he went all weirdo, or at least came out as such.

Tl;dr2:

I got added to a starter pack or something last weekend. 300+ new followers since Friday. I haven't noticed any weird engagement. I haven't followed back, which limits DMs. I also haven't investigated.

Camp East Montana, which is run by Acquisition Logistics, a private corporation with no prior experience in running immigration detention facilities, is closed to visitors and attorneys until March 19th or 20th because of a measles outbreak.

I am not one to take the name of the Lord in vain, mostly because there are so many other good cuss words. But damned if I don't find myself saying "Jesus Christ!" almost every time I read about anything going on in US leadership.

I read a lot of advice columns for fun, and sometimes it seems like EVERYBODY under 40 is polyamorous.

Netanyahu to the U.S. Congress, 2002: "If you take out Saddam, Saddam's regime, I guarantee you that it will have enormous positive reverberations on the region."

The law firms that "caved" didn't cave. They made a clear-eyed choice to ally with this administration, and we should regard it as such. And let the stink adhere to them until they demonstrate it shouldn't.

Purple and yellow crochet blanket made of granny squares. Contrasting purple and yellow flowers are arranged in the middle of the center squares.

A closer view of a purple and yellow crochet blanket of granny squares, With contrasting yellow and purple flowers in the center of some of the granny squares. The flowers have a yellow center with six symmetrical light purple petals, and a light purple center with deeper purple petals.

I am so close! I need to crochet two more flowers, applique them on, edge the blanket, and a final blocking.

He's not wrong.
We elected him.
We are idiots.

I get tired of American voters being pure innocents who can never be judged for their shitty, shitty choices.

Wild-ass prediction. When Trump "talks" to the Iranians, among the demands will be "We get the oil fields "

America is praying for Austin.

But there is something profoundly cynical about asking God to solve a problem we're not willing to solve ourselves.

God moves and works through us. God has no other hands but our hands.

We must act.

Has there been a DT sighting since this started? Between his total absence and stuff like Melania at the UN Security Council, I wonder if we have a Woodrow Wilson situation.

A sister or a girlfriend?

A crocheted flower with six lavender petals and a yellow center.

I took a break from the blanket, but I am back at it working on embellishments. I am thinking about appliqueing a half dozen of these flowers, which are slightly bigger than a thin mint.

My impression is that any industry that you can obliterate and then you need to obliterate again 9 months later probably was never obliterated

Frankly, I expected better from a FIFA Peace prize winner

If we depend on tech company CEO's to do the right thing we're all gonna die in a fire

I did not have "Mitch McConnell helps save democracy" on my bingo card.

Yes.

I used to think I might like to serve on city or parish council, until I attended some meetings. It's like watching paint dry. Super important work, but if you are using it as a stepping stone to higher office and that fails, I could see quitting.
