That's a really good point. I think it's healthier to have a positive attitude, but it can lead to getting hurt sometimes.

I’m sorry, doing this in a baseball cap sold by your campaign store is deliberately disrespecting the dead.

I was conned badly once long ago, & I still don't like to talk about it because it necessarily reveals me as a fool.

SΓ‘nchez: β€œYou may have heard that Spain is alone. They’re the same people who said that when we recognized the State of Palestine, and then others followed.

Unfortunately these people are real & they don't care for others much because they figure we're all getting sorted out very soon & it's already been decided. They're sure they're going to Heaven.

He was enthusiastic about "taking America back," presumably from immigrants, or Black people, or wokeness or similar.
From the camera angle, I'd say that's a very large vehicle.
The leopards are enjoying his face.

A Jan. 6 rioter pardoned by Trump was sentenced to life in prison for child sex abuse Since receiving presidential pardons, dozens of former Capitol rioters have gotten into more legal trouble. In Florida, Andrew Paul Johnson was sentenced to life in prison for child sex abuse.

Jan 6ther Andrew Paul Johnson was molesting a child before he was imprisoned in 2024.

Trump pardoned him - and he immediately went back to molesting that child, AND that child’s friend.

Then he tried to buy their silence by claiming he’d give them some of the millions in restitution he expected.

Trump gets angry at Fox News' Peter Doocy for asking about Russia helping Iran to kill Americans during his roundtable on college sports.

Trump: "What a stupid question that is to be asking at this time. We're talking about something else."

Priorities for the US Commander in Chief.

Attempted suicides, fights, pain: 911 calls reveal misery at ICE’s largest detention facility The calls to 911 poured in from staff at Camp East Montana, the nation's largest U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement detention facility, in its first months of operation in El Paso, Texas.

β€œAt one point he said he overheard a security guard talking about bets made among the staff over which detainee would be next to die by suicide. The guard said he had paid $500 into a pool, with the total pot riding on the outcome.” apnews.com/article/suic...

I'm lying in bed because I'm really not well but I can hear what sounds like a tree being taken down & chipped nearby. Ordinarily I'd go say goodbye, but I'm just not up to it, so I'll just say it from bed & hope the tree knows.

Quit ChatGPT: right now! Your subscription is bankrolling authoritarianism | Rutger Bregman As a historian, I’ve studied the major consumer boycotts of history. We can take down ChatGPT and send a powerful signal to Silicon Valley, says author and historian Rutger Bregman

"The most effective consumer boycotts in history share two qualities: they are narrow and they are easy," writes @rutgerbregman.com
