My memory is that he's a relentlessly tedious jerk.

Oh, good, a misinterpretation of an over-simplification.

Under-appreciated post.

Sometimes otherwise useless items of media bring me necessary information. In this case, Nextdoor and the imitation "local paper."

For solace, you can remember his upbringing and think "ACAB, sigh"

Disappointed, though not surprised, I began to describe various life- saving components of USAID’s global health portfolio, highlighting how we prepare for and respond to emerging pandemic threats; support the diagnosis and treatment of tuberculosis, malaria, and HIV; and immunize millions of children from the deadliest childhood diseases. I spoke for about five minutes, focusing primarily on our infectious diseases work and hoping to keep the attention of people who seemed to have no experience—or interest—in global health. When I finished, the room was silent, the political appointees looking at one another in what appeared to be disbelief. The silence was broken by Ken Jackson, who chuckled softly and shook his head. “Wow, there really is so much that USAID does that we never knew,” he said. “This is the story that needs to get out there.” Joel, also smiling, chimed in next, echoing Jackson’s amazement. “I had no idea you did all this,” he said. “As a Republican, when I think of what USAID does in global health, I assumed it was just, you know, abortions.”

This is NUTS

I blame lack of sunscreen, plus constant exposure to cigarette smoke for Mr. Milland's appearance. He looks closer to my age than yours.

Wow! Vintage!

He may well be a professional liar, but he's not skilled at that profession, either, not bothering to compound convincing bullshit.

But she had to look at a Black President and see his Black familiy all over the place!

TRUMP DOESN'T GIVE A FUCK ABOUT ANYBODY BUT HIMSELF.

Even the movie comedies were full of scary NYC stuff. Or am I the only one who remembers "The Out of Towners?"

Also "knowing what things to do when" is a consideration that the current command seems to ignore completely.

It already has; the revenge for forcible reinstallation of the Shah has lasted since 1953.

Is there a general contractor on the East Coast who Trump hasn't screwed sideways?

If Colorado is hostile to right-wing Christians, it's because RWC have done lasting damage to Colorado.

My eldest grandchild is rising 10 and I cannot compound even a sentence to help him understand what's happening. His half-sister who lives with us is two, her baby brother turned 4mo yesterday, (their parents are here, too) and I find myself mourning every decission I've made that's led me here.

People do, though; it looks awful.

Why 60? Double-ought is more impressive.

Hell, I suspect my miniature senator, who started out as a preshool teacher, could beat him at a yard-work competition.

I first read the Earthsea books when I was 70, and it was like reading my favorite books when I was 8- the same soaring feeling of flying on the story.

I fucking hate him.

This colonnade? THIS ONE?

Trump is a fucking pig.

To quote my revered father, "God-damned sonofabitchingbastard!"

Did Markwayne teach Elon how to wear a cowboy hat?

I used to do it all the time, when selectively feeding unwell cows grain. Gave that up when I turned 70.

The Angus bull we had last (currently we're breeding to a Shorthorn) was so dangerously friendly that I called him Newfie.

My experience with cattle and steel toed boots is that there are certain angles of force which crush the steel and trap your toes.

Having grown up around cattle from birth, I concur; they can do more damage inadvertantly than most things can do on purpose.

The San Jose airport is one of the nicer ones I've met.
