I think the silver lining is that the US is no longer the world's Superpower. We have lost key allies (and an immense amount of respect) and our economy is in the gutter. (Note that the stock market is not the economy.) The whole Superpower thing mostly benefited the guys at the top; they make a lot of money. Ordinary citizens get to send their kids to war and are expected to be proud of it.
This is drastic, but I think it's time to divide our country into four countries: East, West, Midwest, and South (the South has to take trumpy). This would a an immense logistical problem, but so is the minority rule by the red states because of flaws in our Constitution. (California gets two whole senators and so does Kansas, which also tilts the electoral college red).
I live in California and a West Coast country would be wonderful. We might have to hire so of our welcome immigrants to build a wall around the South (and a moat with alligators), but it would be a huge improvement over what we have now.
Please, if you're a senior, get the shots. I advised all my friends to do so. One didn't and got shingles. She's been suffering from it for years. When I got my shots I had to pay, but I think Medicare covers them now. If you got the single shot years ago, you need to get the newer 2-shot version; it's far more effective.
Thanks for the update. Shingles is a nerve disease, can hurt like hell, last for years, and cause yucky skin eruptions. It is highly important for seniors to get the shots, so I talk and post about it repeatedly.
"And Trump’s erratic, crazed bullying and YA TARIFFED, EVERYBODY is helping China find new markets and trade alliances that were unthinkable just a few months ago."
“Well, they had a meeting this morning, so I can't tell you. It doesn't matter who 'they' is. We may reveal it later. But you don't know them. They're from Canada."
Trump is so racist and nostalgic for slavery that he cut the grants to the Whitney plantation museum. Black History matters and we will not forget the horror of slavery.
He's probably mad as hops that Ryan Coogler whipped Quentin Tarantino's ass over Easter weekend
Also he wants everyone to forget what slavery looks like because he's MOVING U.S. CITIZENS DOWN TO EL SALVADOR TO SLAVERY IN PRIVATE PRISONS and he doesn't want people who don't know that history to know what it looked like then so they won't recognize that it's happening now
Like back in childhood, maybe you go roller skating on a Sunday afternoon and you see all these fly dressed people getting down to the tunes, amazed at how well they skate. You are unaware they've been up all night because you're in fifth grade and the only time you stay up all night is sleepovers...
To be sure, I am totally with the dyes and corn syrup thing. Not for the reasons he thinks of course, he is a moron.
However, I am wondering if we can weaponize his stopped clock action. Start taunting MAGA that they fell for it and now we are getting what we always wanted.

Repubs not only believe that everything should be about profit, they lately believe it's about short-term profit (and executive bonuses) even though the companies they're working for get destroyed in the process.
Repubs also believe in bullying everyone who isn't them, but that's more about entertainment than profit.

Poker hand: Trump tries to bluff: All in!
China: Call
I thought the same about Curtis. His recordings didn't capture the live vibe.

Hang in there... memories are 💕.
I sped read that as you got a 'Singles' shot...and was thinking I never needed one...

My reply was that I misread ‘Shingles’ as ‘Singles’ and mentioned that I never need a shot for that…ie being single.
I've had the single dose shot . Need to get the 2 part one Thanks.

Just weeks away! Like his beautiful replacement for the Affordable Care Act.

Hey, my Amazon subscription for poop bags just got cancelled cause the ones I've been getting aren't available anymore. What, are you a mind reader?!
There's about to be A LOT of stuff on Amazon (and elsewhere) that is not available anymore.
"And Trump’s erratic, crazed bullying and YA TARIFFED, EVERYBODY is helping China find new markets and trade alliances that were unthinkable just a few months ago."
Quelle surprise!
“Well, they had a meeting this morning, so I can't tell you. It doesn't matter who 'they' is. We may reveal it later. But you don't know them. They're from Canada."
fuck ted cruz.
I once knew a 'chemist' who was just an utter dipshit. Lets call this person 'Jim'.
I used to keep a box of rocks on my desk with the name 'Jim' written on top, because this person was dumb as a box of rocks.
I think I will get a new box and put DJT on top.
TABZ!
I'm in Monaco for the day. Right now I'm having I've cream at the palace.
Classy!
Pinkies out!
Ooohh fun!!!

Sorry, that is beyond human comprehension. You're on your own.

If RFK or trumpy says something, just assume it's wrong and probably a deliberate lie. It's the efficient thing to do.
I read this one paper said it was because Vaccines!
Fact-checking a gormless idiot.
People need to see this - it's from a former WH fellow who was also once an emerging research scientist working under a (now disappeared) NIH grant

Excellent news.
