If mee-maw, paw-paw, or baby Cletus freeze because they can’t afford heating oil, or starve because they can’t afford food, or die of an infection because they can’t afford health care, maybe Joe Sixpack will realize that the Republicans aren’t just letting this happen, they’re causing it to happen.

As I used to say to my dog, and now I say to my cats, “It’s good to be beautiful, and it’s beautiful to be good.”

One of my cats got up from her nap, climbed onto a bookcase, and started meowing at some curtains. I found a stink bug, grabbed it in a paper towel, and told her she was good. She went back and resumed her nap like nothing had happened.

My cats have realized that if I brush my teeth, I’m probably either going to bed or leaving the house. They have decided these are occasions that merit treats, so they go into the kitchen and start circling and meowing. I can’t resist.

I used to think Republicans were the adults, and Democrats seemed to be young, naive, and idealistic. Now it seems like dad has abandoned the family, mom is an alcoholic, and the oldest child has to step up and take care of everyone.

With two cats, I really should vacuum more often than I do. After about ten minutes of vacuuming, I think I have sucked up enough fur to make another cat.

My favorite Lent tradition is “we don’t eat meat on Friday.” So instead we get a giant fried fish dinner with french fries and cole slaw, and wash it down with some beers. What a sacrifice!

I might have to write a letter to NBC. They messed up the Olympic coverage. I’m pretty sure I saw a minute or two of sports between the commercials. How did they let that happen?

There are many stories of people who voted for Trump and are unhappy with him. Would those same people say that they wished they had voted for Harris? That’s a bigger leap to take.

After WW2 much of the industrial world other than the US was devastated. The US had a 20 year head start to claim technological and economic exceptionalism. That era is gone. The rest of the world has caught up or passed by. It’s time to face this new reality.

If the Epstein files exonerated Trump he would release them. Therefore, anybody who has read them and hasn’t leaked them or resigned is complicit.

If a court tells California that they can’t gerrymander, then neither can Texas. That should open the floodgates for lawsuits all over the country, which will be a huge benefit for democrats.

When many web interactions are generated to prevent a business from functioning, it’s called a denial of service attack. Trump creates dumb ideas (Alcatraz, Greenland, etc.) in order to dilute the efforts to fight his more serious and harmful ideas. It’s a denial of service attack on the left.

Any Republican who won their last election by less than 10 points has to know they are vulnerable. The best way to save yourself is to do what’s right instead of being a pawn of Trump. You might get yelled at, or get a primary challenge, but your best chance to keep your seat is to do what’s right!

A couple weeks ago I sent in my state taxes. Yesterday I got a letter saying I’m off by $103. If they know I’m off by $103, why don’t they just tell me what I owe? Why do I have to struggle with these asinine forms?

Trump seems focused on making cars in the US. If there was worldwide economic collapse, cars in the US would be possible fairly quickly. Computer chips in the US is another story. They come from places such as Taiwan. Biden emphasized beefing up US chip manufacturing. Trump doesn’t get it.

NBC News is devoting a huge chunk of the evening news to an interview with Trump. Why? I’m not a big fan of network news, and I absolutely will not watch Trump. Are they trying to lose viewers?

I saw this on Facebook today. I think it’s old, but it lets us know what we’re up against. Wrong on so many levels. It would take a dissertation to explain what’s wrong, and nobody would listen or believe it.

The MAGA cult seems to be willing to accept some hardship as long as they think the libs are feeling more hardship. I get it, I feel the same way. I’m willing to accept some hardship as long as the MAGA cult is feeling more hardship.

My wife is obsessed with online French lessons. She keeps getting bonus minutes and gets sucked in for hours. If she was building an empire or slaying a dragon I’d understand, but French lessons? Ew.

If 99% of Social Security payments are done correctly, that sounds pretty good. If there are $10 billion in over payments, that sounds very bad. But $10 billion is 1% of $1 trillion, which is the ballpark of annual social security payments. So is the glass half empty (Repubs), or half full (Dems)?

With Trump everything is transactional. He can claim that Europe paying more to help Ukraine is a savings for the US. Short sighted and not really true in the long run, but he can say it.

Every comment that I’ve seen on BlueSky indicates anger and disgust with the way Trump and Vance treated Zelensky. Is BlueSky an echo chamber, or do others feel the same way? Are there US politicians or citizens who feel differently?

You voted for Trump because you hate foreigners and don’t respect women. If you object now because you’re feeling pain in your finances, that makes you an ally, but it doesn’t make you good person.

Trump’s outrageous ideas for Gaza, Canada, Panama, Greenland, Ukraine, Iran, and others seem to be his ideas. Nobody of any consequence seems to be excited about them. It’s almost like he’s daring somebody to do something drastic.

I’m watching the NBC Evening News with Lester Holt. Trump has had four or more sound bites on a variety of topics. Biden never got that kind of coverage. Is it because Biden didn’t crave the spotlight, or because the network news loves to show Trump?

The MAGA cult is happy to hear that Musk is cutting waste just like he did on Xitter, and foreign aid is being cut because it doesn’t help US taxpayers. They don’t look behind the curtain or peel the onion. It’s like 1984 and they are happy to believe what the government is saying.

I hope I live long enough to know how Trump “won” the election, and who is really behind the scenes. I don’t believe it’s all Musk or Putin. I believe it’s mostly American oligarchs who are playing the long game. This could be a JFK assassination situation in that we may never know the truth.

Don’t forget, the last time Trump was president the Canadians came out with a new medium/small passenger jet. Boeing complained, and Trump put a huge tariff on it. So Bombardier made a deal with Airbus to manufacture it in the US. Thus the Airbus 220. Trump has a history of sticking it to Canada.

It seems as though half of the people in the US government act as though they are beholden to Russia. We have a much bigger economy, better military, and better education. Why does such an unworthy adversary have so much power? Why isn’t half of their government beholden to the US?

There are a lot of people who don’t work hard or don’t think hard. Some can’t, others don’t want to. It’s easy to say let them get sick, or starve, or freeze, but that’s not the right answer. As annoying as it is, some people need help even though there’s no obvious reason why.
