Nice to see you again!

And the trouble is the bluster and bravado fail as well. They may comfort the narcissist briefly. But it’s never enough.

When Sen. Mark Kelly when asked by The Atlantic if he thought America was ready to have a disabled first lady, referring to his wife Gabby Giffords, he responded: “In my opinion, we have a disabled president right now.”

He does earn a lot of superlatives. Most evil person in the world, for one.

DJT refuses to understand how tariffs work. He just thinks they are an instrument of power. And he doesn’t care in the least who they hurt.

That’s good. It’s significant that Ike was the last Republican I could think of who did anything good for the country.

With any luck congestive heart failure is catching up with him. I do worry about JDV, though. Not a good successor.

So then he flew AF1 to England and got the glitzy new plane to fly home safely.

He just quit. I dunno why the wording is “suspended his campaign” when it’s not like he would ever revive it.

I read that the fancy new jet doesn’t have enough defensive technology to fly out of Turkey now that djt has reignited the Iran hostilities. So a story was made up to send it somewhere safer.

Imagine the hospitals that could be opened and fully staffed by Musk alone. His name could be everywhere! I’m no fan of Ken Langone’s politics (cofounder of Home Depot) but he has been a benefactor to his Alma mater and NY medical center.I’m ok with his name being on buildings where good is done.

I’ll respect any president who is respectable. DJT is slime, apologies to slime. Does not deserve any kind of respect. Look how world leaders treated him at the G7! They’re done with him and with any luck, we will be too, soon after the midterms.

Haitians by the hundreds HAVE been contributing. Working, paying taxes, doing jobs many others won’t take. This administration is so shameful.

Never has. There’s lots of proof. Not least people’s own experience.

He never used it when it was in a less central location. Once I put it in the living room, things changed a little. He still scratches furniture and earns a water bottle squirt. I haven’t figured which is a better incentive—avoiding water or gaining a treat.

Yes. I’m 76 now, and when I flew out of NYC in 1973 for a long overseas trip, I had no visible jewelry.

I reward him for using the scratching post instead of the furniture, so now he sits up there waiting for a reward any old time! He also helps in the office.

I’m happy for NYC, having been around at a time when crime was so bad I removed my jewelry when I went there, and Times Square was the hellhole. I hope many of Mamdani’s priorities spread. Imagine an administration that helps people!!!

The photos I’m seeing from the G7 show people generally avoiding him.

And had a former Olympic cyclist arrested for touching it. I hope the poor guy gets pro bono legal representation.

Faculty at the university I was a student life dean at wanted to give Zinn an honorary doctorate years ago. Trustees vetoed it and stopped giving honorary degrees at all.

He was a stray in Texas, shipped to Boulder. No idea what his backstory is. He doesn’t like to be picked up, but he hangs out with his humans and likes other people, too. He also helps with office work.

I’m hoping he told the cabinet that he would be resigning on his birthday. He’d make up some fabulist explanation, but he could be gone. Explains his “I don’t care” responses, backing out of things. We’ll see.
