Saw a headline: "Is Donald Trump Manipulating the Market?". That's pretty much rhetorical question.

Between voice response systems that aren't responsive, AI that's not very intelligent and a call/text system that's required me to confirm an appointment 4 times in a week, I'm pretty much ready to become a Luddite.

When the Trump rebates tariffs to major corporations, how much do you think will trickle down to consumers through rebates or lower prices? I'm giving it +/- 5%.

Call your Congressperson or Senator and let them know that Trump's desired defense budget of $1.5 Trillion is about 50% too large. He and Republicans want to decimate what's left of an already shredded social safety net to feed defense contractors and the war machine.

How can Kash Patel file a lawsuit for defamation of character when he absolutely has none?

The current congress has passed 36 pieces of legislation in 15 months. trump has signed 255 EOs in 15 months. This is *NOT* how this is supposed to work.

Trump's "course correction" was releasing violent felons, swindlers and pedophiles on parole. Also managed to make a number of them members of his Administration.

Particularly bad when it's the health insurance company you've called to find out why they arbitrarily decided to drop coverage for a med without informing you. Pharmacy says they do it all the time.

Good Lord, I really hope there aren't long holds on suicide hotlines.

I'm totally convinced that companies put on crappy hold music so they don't have pay royalties.

Reminder that you can order pretty much any book you'd ever want via your local bookstore's online website — might be a buck or two more than Amazon, but well worth it to support local small business owners!

Personally, I'd prefer the latter.

Better to pray that he actually has one.

Trump to read Bible passages from the Oval Office. Since he has no idea in hell what's in the Bible, someone should slide verses from the Koran into his Teleprompter. Better than Hegseth quoting Pulp Fiction.

I'm betting not even 1%. Maybe 0.1%, but that's no better than 50/50.

Trump wants 250 Statues in a National Garden of American Heroes to celebrate America's anniversary. How much do you want to bet the biggest and trashiest will be Donald J Trump?

A Father Ted reference? Nice!

Mainly because the money-grubbing, ass kissing little weasel thinks it's a big deal.

Sean Hannity no longer considers himself a Catholic. I'm sure Pope Leo is crushed.

Don't you love it when squawk show host Sean Hannity claims to know more about theology and Catholicism than Pope Leo? Hannity dropped out of two schools, Pope Leo has a PhD in canon law from the world's top program. Sean, the perfect MAGA expert.

I missed the First Escort immunity ruling. 😅

I continue to wonder what Jared Golden's been promised. He was always on the right of the Democratic Party, but he's pretty much gone totally to the dark side.

Boycott each and very one of them.

They could spring for a translator. And a sign language interpreter.

I know perjury laws seem to no longer apply to Republicans, but a guy can dream.

When Sting was on the road, pushy fans were one of the biggest problems. #StingRoadPushy @googlygirl.bsky.social

And why does she still have a license to practice law?

Because at this point, unless it goes to a Democrat Congressional subpoenas are worthless.

Sometimes rhetorical questions are the best questions/

Wonder if she'd have a translator.
