Dems. just caved. They have taught the Repugnants that keeping food from hungry people is a winning strategy. Sucks like a Hoover. Shit.

.....And you people were utterly unable to see that this is what would happen if he were elected again? Eggs too dear? Get some chickens for your backyard. (Nancy Ray-guns: "Homeless? What's wrong with you? Just buy a house!") Ya, let them eat cake…
The Orange DOJ has time for this, but no dollars to feed people. At our first opportunity, the entire lot of them needs to be sent straight to filthy jail. Do not pass Go, do not collect $200.00. Orange Scumbag worthless clowns. Orange Kakistocracy.
Healthcare, career opportunity, work-recreation balance; educational costs, and in many cases, the weather may very well be better elsewhere. There might be a language barrier. Younger people can learn languages easier than an old guy like me.

2026 can't come fast enough, if the election recently is any indicator.
step by step, things are going from worse to worst. it's not inevitable, but likely, due to repugnant party hubris.

OMG mid-70s: the boys and I made a religion of listening to The Mothers and drinking National Bo. Baltimore.
Should not have lowered the rate, both in Sept. AND Oct, '25. Inflation is not at target. The Big Ugly Bill will raise Fed deficit to $7.1T over ten years. How long does it take to even fathom such a number???? THEN, the only way out of the looming …
I read that somehow, it was only Brown-Jackson's order to TEMPORARILY suspend the order from the lower (federal?) court, so that the appeal could, under PROPER procedure, be denied, thus forcing the Orange Rectum's regime to disburse SNAP benefits. …
This Administration is asking the Supreme Court to het him to hold up the SNAP funding. A quick denial reply is in order and direct them to lower court’ ruling immediately.
Obey the Law? We don't need no stinking laws. Unless it's some we LIKE.

Joe Bonamassa and the crew playing FREDDY KING, SONNY THOMPSON: "Someday After A While (You'll Be Sorry") From the LIVE IN AMSTERDAM concert, 2013, with Beth Hart.

I can't cheer for either dog in the fight, but I'll be happier Blue rather than Red. There's no Republican Party any longer. Not for decades. Repugnant. Anti-American. Subversive. Oligarchic. Soul-less. Heartless. And at the Top: brainless.
He is an obscenity. In addition, NO ONE is worth $1T/year. But they gave it to him. Un-fucking-believable. Further up in this thread, shareholder lawsuits were mentioned. Holding my breath. Anyhow, I would not go near anything that had ever been wit…

Good time to be retired. All others get screwed. A friend has been promoted within DHS (going back to last February) and moved to Washington area. He's not getting paid. It's real.
Another genre I love: from "La Boheme." Muzetta's Waltz. Italian, with Spanish subtitles, here. Nicole Cabell NAILED this. This has to be my favorite production of the opera. Anna Netrebko. Rolando Villazon.
