I'm a retired software engineer who is desperately trying to develop my creative side by learning to sketch and paint in watercolors. On politics, we can disagree if you're respectful. Rudeness or name calling gets BLOCKED.

This story still isn’t going away.

Since they were instrumental in shipping these detainees to countries all over the world (rather than their home countries) I think they should be tried in the Hague for crimes against humanity.

Tell Congress: Stop Trump's move to take over state elections Contact Congress today!

🚨 Trump's cronies are circulating a draft executive order to declare a phony "national emergency" over made-up foreign election interference—just so he can seize control of our state-run elections.

This isn't about integrity—it's a blatant attempt to rig the midterms.

Tell Congress to act NOW:

Our representative government is almost gone. We have a criminal conspiracy masquerading as a federal government.

They are doing virtually nothing for the average American.

Their focus is on personal wealth and power. And unwavering loyalty to the authoritarian ruler.

Rescue America. VOTE!

I don't think you can compare wrestling to fantasy fiction. Seems more akin to reality shows like the Real Housewives of...

I understand watching it when you're 13 or 14 years old. I don't understand adults who still watch it and post about it.🤷‍♂️

And I don't think anyone is really talking about the cost in civilian lives. The tragic bombing of the girls school got some coverage but we know there must be hundreds of others. The invasion of Iraq caused upwards of 100,000 civilian deaths.

Yes, you've still got it.

If it's a book that's generally well received, I just assume that I'm not currently in the headspace for it at this point in my life. I DNF it for now but put it on my shelf and will perhaps pick it up in a couple years when it might hit me differently.

An autistic man called police for a wellness check. He was fatally shot. Alex LaMorie, 25, had recently moved to a community in Maryland for people with disabilities, and was shot after police say he approached officers while holding a knife.

I get so tired of these stories. Cop is confronted with someone having a mental health crisis and wielding a knife. Cop, wearing kevlar vest, armed with a night stick, pepper spray, taser and gun draws the gun and shoots the person. No, wait. THREE cops ALL shot him.

Can’t wait for the Benghazi 2.0 hearings to happen over abandoning US Officials and Diplomats across the Middle East because a child rapist and money launderer is being blackmailed to start a war on behalf of Benjamin Netanyahu.

Our troops are dying this isn’t a video game. The White House is posting so-called “hype” videos that mix real footage from the war in Iran with clips from movies and video games like Call of Duty. It’s an absolute disgrace.

In addition to allegations of raping children, Trump is accused of otherwise assaulting them, threatened them repeatedly, and blackmailed and harassed them for years. He’s a monster.
He's also accused of confessing to Epstein that he uses illegal building permits.

Oldman is amazing. I've said it before but I feel like his character is channeling Martin Strother from the 1960s. I can almost smell the gin on his breath.

New files released detail a woman met with the FBI at least four times to allege she had survived being sexually abused by Jeffrey Epstein and Donald Trump when she was a child.
Nothing happened.

ICE is STILL in Minnesota and STILL terrorizing communities. Reporters that say otherwise are either uninformed (which....) or lazy (which... ) or just repeating regime lies (which... is also extremely bad).

People are still missing, people are and will be traumatized, businesses demolished...
