Let’s say you don’t like Biden because he isn’t doing enough to stop Israel from attacking Palestine. You do know how deeply in bed Trump (and Kushner! Look it up!) is in bed with Netanyahu, don’t you? You think Trump is going to do anything to help?

It certainly feels like Biden is headed for a major electoral defeat in a few months and I don’t see the Democrats coming up with a plan or acting particularly worried.

Drank some coffee and (later) apricot beers, ate some amazing tacos and (later) brownies, received a new tenor guitar and then saw a rainbow. All in all a pretty great birthday!

We finished “Baby Reindeer” last night. Holy moly. Anyone else see it? What did you think?

Does the fact that Trump holds himself up as the “law and order” candidate while facing dozens of indictments strike the MAGA folks as at all ironic, or does that one just sail right past them?

I don’t think I could ever be convinced to pay a single dime to be a part of a social media network. I’m not going to be providing free content AND pay to consume it.

And now I consider the ever-dangerous second early afternoon cup of coffee…

Republicans are soft on Russia but hardliners on Israel even though Russia supports Iran which has attacked Israel. It’s going to be interesting to see how they square this circle…

If everyone could calm down and not start a world war right now that would be great. I've got a lot else going on right now.

If even Trump, who once said he wanted to jail women for having abortions, is backpedaling on a national abortion ban, that should tell you how badly Republicans played their hand on this issue. They did so much better when post-Roe was a tantalizing dream and not a messy reality.

What if, and I’m just spitballing here, earthquakes and eclipses are not caused by human morality.

So, if MAGA folks truly believe Trump won in 2020, how would he be eligible to run for a third time this year?

Neat point, person who does not follow me and disagrees with something I said. Please tell my block button all about it.

I will never fail to be shocked by evangelicals falling for Trump. I guess it's because I grew up amongst them and thought they believed what they were preaching.

Apparently many people in this country have selective amnesia about how mind-numbingly stupid the Trump presidency was.
