We’re in an era of unbelievable headlines.
The image is a screenshot of a post on X by a user named Alan MacLeod (@AlanRMa

My YouTube algorithm keeps bringing up shows about Nazi Germany and I've never used the word "nazi" in any search I've done. I understand algorithms (basically), so I shouldn't be surprised, based on who I follow on YT, but it's still depressing to see these recommendations. But this is where we are

Hear me out. Musk is a naturalized citizen. If he's arrested, Trump can pardon him, but Google tells me a pardon doesn't expunge the record. The crimes that Musk is committing fall under deportation criteria. Yes, it's a stretch, but why not just go ahead and arrest him and get it on his record?

Chat w friend abroad. She and her husband had a talk w their 13yo son about how some of his friends at school whose parents are with USAID are going through a lot now and have to go back to the US sooner than planned. Son asks Dad if this could happen to them, too. Dad realized he couldn't say no.

I fell under a policy of mandatory retirement at 65 y.o. when I worked for the govt., yet those in Congress can stay on as long as they're able to cling to their seats. We need term limits. There's no shame in aging, but there's shame in greed and being power hungry. Or there certainly should be.

Instead of an orderly drawdown, the kind of winding down that moving from abroad requires (school transfers, pets on flights, packing, giving things away, etc.), USAID personnel abroad are being recalled on Friday as if this was an evacuation from a war zone. www.cbsnews.com/news/usaid-m...

Remember when he told us he'd build a beautiful wall and Mexico would pay for it? Remember how he was saying this not long after we heard him talk about grabbing women by the p***y? Ahh, the good ol' days, when I thought he was a stupid, vile, disgusting pig, but was blind to the danger of this man.

In the meantime, Canada has already pulled U.S.-made products from their shelves. I'm guessing they haven't put them back, but even if they have, Canadians are going to spend their hard-earned money on Canadian-made products and boycott ours. And I don't blame them one bit.

Oh, hell, yes. I fully support this, too. First of all, the Republicans have done this in the past and held up nominees for months on end. Secondly, I support anything that will keep Kimberly Guilfoyle out of the U.S. Embassy in Athens for as long as possible. Forever would be cool.
