Retired IT professional in Oregon. Gardening and my two rescue dogs are my refuge from a world that has been flipped on its head. Shame on the capitulators, I'm an ally, friend and supporter to anyone who believes in and fights for democracy.

I just watched your first Psycho Politics podcast with Jim Acosta on the YouTube channel. I wish there was a way to give a thumbs up to some of your individual comments, cause you guys were killing it 😀

He knows this is an empty promise because he knows they're going to lose, but it'll give his ignorant supporters something new to bitch about for the next two years.

For both parents to die when she was a child, it sounds like an endorsement for healthcare for all.

It would be easier not to overreact if the damn media would do their homework (and jobs!) before blurting out their moronic headlines of what the SC order said.

I read and like every one I see, hoping it brings some comfort to know they were seen. They usually make me cry because I remember all my little sweethearts I've lost over the years. But that's a good thing, I don't ever want to forget them.

I come back to snuggle back in and find a damp duvet cover in my face where he furiously licked it while I was gone.

Oh no. The first time I saw him was in PBS Reilly Ace of Spies so many years ago. He was so good and captivating. He'll be missed.

Agree about the instant block of such videos, but the rest is kind of harsh. I found a lovely old picture of my sweet boy and posted about him after I lost him as a memorial to him. Kind of like obituaries for pets. Not too many people see my posts, so a lot of 'likes' definitely wasn't my motive.

I've lost three in the years since my husband passed. They all adored him and among the whispered you're such a good boy and Mommy loves you so much, I also told each one of them that they were going to get to go see Daddy in their final moments.

In this case there were actual crimes committed, Biden didn't have to get involved if the DOJ just did their jobs.

I had an In-home euthanasia service come the three times I had to say good-bye to one of my darling dogs. Each went while snuggled next to me and being soothed. It was the best loving gift I could give them and I'm so glad I did it that way for them and the peaceful, loving memories it left me.

Judging from your own replies below, seems like a nerve has been touched. Our reading comprehension is fine. You didn't say "elected" in your original post, said baby boomer "generation". Try apologizing instead, you'll feel a lot better.

One of my dogs had a favorite toy for weeks that had a ripped out belly. I let him keep it because he loved it until the only thing that was left was a tail.

Oregon unions band together for Portland ‘Labor Against ICE’ protest
Organizers said it’s not common for so many unions to protest together around one issue.

He DID NOT write that. They must have taken his phone away and locked him up while they figured out a way to back him out of the colossal mess he created.

We had to get small sized trees that we hung upside down from the ceiling to avoid this.

Interesting that they didn't say anything about his brain.

Is anyone able to do something to make this STOP! Can't the local government and authorities do something? I can't believe we are all seeing this and it keeps going on while we feel helpless to do anything.

Since they're not "investigating" any Republicans, those files can be released, right?

He's going to do whatever the hell he wants to because so far Congress is NOT doing their job! He should have been impeached months ago!

I still remember my phone number from when I was a little kid in the 1950's. BTW, it was a party-line (and I don't mean party like a birthday "party").

As a Portland area resident, FUCK Trump. A few protesters in front of the ICE facility for months are exercising their 1st Amendment Rights. Anyone who got out of hand was handled by local police. I fear this is not going to end well in our city. #Portland www.opb.org/article/2025...

Sounds like they are getting ready to do even more illegal military operations (like blow away so-called "drug" boats). I'm worried they are planning to use the military to go after US citizens and cities they are falsely labeling as terrorists.

They were able to organize a strike that went on for months. This calls for the same serious action.

If he was an FBI informant, they would have released the FBI files proving it.
