Up until the end of 1970s, most gas stations had attendants that came out filled your tank, checked your oil, and cleaned your windshield. Gradually, stations quit doing this and there was no discount on gas to compensate. We were told it was foe our convenience. They lied. I want a gas discount.

To qualify for SNAP, you must do some sort of work 80 hours per month. Volunteering and bartering work for services count. 80 hours is roughly 120 days (8 hours/day) Congress has only been in session 65 days this year. Congress has worked just over half the required time.

Never, never, never give up. -- Winston Churchill #Persistence #Resilience
If you fail, never give up because F.A.I.L. means "First attempt in Learning".
End is not the end, in fact E.N.D. means "Effort Never Dies".
If you get no for an answer, remember N.O. means "Next Opportunity".
So let's be positive.

In some respects, McConnell is Trump’s ideal politician right now. McConnell's staff can manipulate his body to make the correct signals to vote. Since he is almost non-verbal, he won't criticize Trump.

Trump translator:
Fake news = This is true and I hate it.
Low IQ=  Their intelligence intimidates me.
Horrible Person = They tell the truth about me.
Witch Hunt = I did it and hoped no one would find out. 
Hoax = This is a damning indictment of me and my illegal activities. 
Many people are saying = I just made this up.
Believe me = What I'm saying is not true.
Nobody knows more about X than I do = I just learned sbout X (usually something most first graders would know).
Very unfair = I'm being treated the same as everyone else. 
Total loser = They criticized me or stopped supporting me. 
Great guy = They are loyal to me and willing to lie on my behalf.

The comvention could have used extra people. It was giving away tickets and it still had empty seats. It should have let the survivors stay. The Republicans keep saying they favor the first amendment but their actions tell a different story. Also, 47 doesn't want to havs accountability.

⚠️ Be careful with VoteSafe .org. It is NOT an official voting website. It’s tied to Elon Musk’s America PAC and collects a lot of personal information from people who use it. Before you hand over your name, address, phone number, email and voter information, know who you’re giving it to.

From @ebisback.bsky.social (alt text added) an excellent question (Felons lose their right to vote and must apply to have that right restored.)
Everyone (is) talking about how Trump voted by mail, but I'm over here wondering how he voted at all!  He's a convicted felon.

Please, no more talk of companies "giving" people jobs.  In reality,  the gift relationship goes in the opposite direction.   Workers give their blood, sweat, and tears, and sometimes their lives, and in return companies pay them the minimum they can get away with.

A ship named MAGA is approaching an iceberg.   They people on the ship are thinking "It's not that bad?"

An arrow to the top of the iceberg says, "The Trump corruption that we already know about."

Ninety percent or more of the iceberg is below the surface of the water.  It is labeled, "Corruption we haven't even seen yet."

I think another main purpose is to stay out of prison. With 34 felony convictions, he should be in prison. His accounts at Bank of America were closed for money laundering. The UN wants accountability for the crimes in the Epstein Files. This is just the tip of the iceberg.

If billionaires can't afford a 3% wealth tax...
Maybe they should:
Get a second job 
Make coffee at home
Stop buying avocado toast
Cancel a few subscriptions 
Learn to live within their means
Pull themselves up by their bootstraps 
You know - the advice they've been giving the working people for decades.

I think the reason Trump wants to rename everything America is because dementia is settling in & calling everything America is easier to remember. (This is the same guy who has started labeling rooms in the White House. No other president needed the label "Oval Office" outside the door.)

The people who start the wars are seldom the ones at the front line. This is particularly true of the Trump family that has dodged the draft for generations. 47 is so brave that he travels in catering carts and is building a walled zone around the White House to prevent people from looking in.
