Persimmons for Peace

I’m hollering at my screen… yaaas!

Actress Sheryl Underwood, an Air Force Reserve veteran, is asking the questions we all want answers to.

“Why is this not impeachable? And where are the politicians that say, ‘this dude don’t have it all the way together, he cannot be the commander in chief?’” 🔥

The response is….comprehensive.

Estimated cost of Trump's war: $1 billion PER DAY.

That's enough to pay for
- Medicaid for all 16 million people losing it because of Republican budget cuts
- AND daily food stamps for all 41 million people who rely on them

Imagine if we had a government put people over profit.

I’d bet money. Phunny, punny
money. Not priceless, but still precious.

I predict many of us did the same thing on tiers 3 & 4!

Fuzzy memories and hard facts: An SC accuser's claims against Epstein, Trump examined An alleged victim of Jeffrey Epstein gave FBI agents true accounts of her time growing up in SC. Claims she made about Donald Trump remain unsubstantiated.

"A woman who claims she was abused as a minor by both Epstein and Trump has given the FBI vivid accounts that include aspects of her life corroborated by the The Post and Courier through public records ... she claimed Trump forced her to commit a sex act on him sometime around 1984."

Well, no shit. I’ve been raising the alarm on this for years now

Wtf is wrong with Lindsey Graham, Trump must have some shit on him, more than can be imagined.

I am wow-ed by your Miyazaki offerings..! I live abroad, but am going to see if I can get some sent to a friend who will be visiting to bring them to me! Thanks for sharing!

Nah, we were unscathed. I’m in the middle of the country, a good distance from the coast. And yes, I had so many of my students reach out to see if I was okay. Sweet— but the US media made it sound like the country was ablaze. Yes, funny how all those guns are made in the USA…🤦🏼‍♀️

He’s breathing heavy and salivating. 🤤 God help us.

I can’t believe how stupid everything is

Ahhh…that sounds so familiar to me. The moving. I get itchy feet after a while… tho, I can’t see leaving here. But if my kids end up elsewhere, I may change my tune or at least split my time!

Aha, that’s why you’ve moved so many times!! Me too. Though I am almost convinced (never say never) that this one may just be my forever home…

I’ll give you a hint: I’m a military brat. Though ironically, not USMC! My dad was USAF.

How did you manage to solve it in less?!!

Yes, Jeffrey Epstein's Zorro Ranch Trust Won $85 Million in the Oklahoma Lottery Two Days After He Went to Prison, and No One Asked Any Questions. Part One in a Four-Part Series I'm Calling Zorro Ranch: Follow the Money.

Journalist Alisa Valdés does a deep dive into Zorro Ranch’s lottery winnings. Seems few are questioning this oddly timed $85m windfall that happened after Epstein was imprisoned.

But hey, you got it!! Me? I’ve been so busy around here I blew my streak! (We still haven’t unpacked, but the house is coming along!)

Just a thought, maybe SecDef shouldn’t jerk himself off on live television at the thought of casualties in war.

War isn’t something to be giddy about. Were the most powerful nation on the planet. We’re supposed to be the quiet professionals, not carnival barking morons.

Watch this.

19 minutes and $12 to get meds at a public Chinese hospital. Without insurance.

As we slash Medicaid to start unnecessary wars and cut taxes for the rich. 🇺🇸

We should all be so much angrier than we are. It doesn’t have to be this way. #MedicareForAllNOW

¡MOARRR, por favorrrr!!! 🇪🇸🇪🇸🇪🇸🇪🇸🇪🇸🇪🇸❤️💛

Swoon. Oh, to have a leader like this. #VivaEspaña

Trump is having to be reminded that when you threaten an EU member on trade, in this case Spain, the EU comes to your defence.

That's one of the key perks of being part of a bloc which negotiates trade as one cohesive unit: nobody can pull you out of the pack and savage you.

wow -- Tillis goes ballistic on Noem, telling her "what we've seen is a disaster under your leadership"

Holy crap! Senator Richard Blumethal says Trump regime just briefed them on sending US troops to fight in Iran!!!
