Honestly, if I was going to vote for someone from South Africa for President, I would have voted for Trevor Noah.
All I want is to watch the Mariners. I got this wonderful email from property management yesterday. If I'm lucky, I'll see the first 2-3 innings. Great timing PSE. No power = no internet and no cable.

Here’s a cheat sheet with all the phone numbers for the US Senate. I have a feeling we’ll be calling them a lot in the near future.

Back in 2018, angry & frustrated, I donated to the DNC. Since then it has been non-stop requests for donations. Emails, text messages. "We know you just gave, but can't you dig a little deeper...". One of my senators is on this list. I gave to campaigns for 3 others. No more. This is unacceptable.
These are the dems that voted to confirm the guy that just handed the Treasury to Musk:
Blunt Rochester
Booker
Cantwell
Coons
Fetterman
Gallego
Gillibrand
Hassan
Hickenlooper
Kaine
Kelly
King (Independent)
Peters
Shaheen
Slotkin
Warner

Let’s see - I’m being sentenced for 34 felonies on Friday, I’ve nominated a bunch of unschooled idiots for my cabinet, and I owe E Jean $483 million. What can I distract the idiots with?

Something else we discussed while at the White House : inauguration counter-programming. My suggestion was a live web cam of a dumpster fire that we just keep throwing dog shit into. Maybe spray paint some thrift store sneakers gold and toss those in, too.

Progress succeeds through persistence. Change is not instantaneous, so commit to the long fight, adapt to challenges, and stay focused on the vision.

Fuck cancer. Especially pediatric cancer. These people want to punish these precious little kids to pay for tax cuts for the wealthiest corporations in human history. Shame on them.

I wish the higher prices were ONLY going to affect the idiots who voted for the guy who promised to bring prices down, but is now saying "It's hard to bring things down once they're up."
We'll just have to settle for the satisfaction of yelling "WE FUCKING TOLD YOU SO" at those morons.
