of course, the supremes might still snuff it out, but likely not before an election where many of the forgiven may return the favor by voting and getting out the vote for Joe.
Good morning, I am waiting for the final casulty count from last evening’s action. Dog is still spooked, cat finally gave up wanting to go outside to watch.
I would have preferred our president from outright stating no events after 8pm. It would have been better stated with something about due to the campaign schedule we are going to be selective in our event attendance.
A reminder sfb did not start until 11 am or later, and even then he was still bonkers. Joe is not bonkers.
My last cat Saki finally stopped flinching with every bang and just curled in my lap.
CNN headline news might as well collect a paycheck from the Trump campaign. Our local in my nicely blue state has been more balanced. Let’s see if we can get through the weekend without any more contributions to the Joe is really, really old meme.
Well I appreciate the sentiments but lately I’ve had more old friends dying than animals and after close to 80 years of animals passing you DO tend to develop a thicker skin about it all. And the almost skeletal 22 yr old cat is still staring at me from the foot of the bed, so all is not lost.
She was a good little doggie though as doggies go, and a constantly diapered, and blind pup can be a trial. But I swear, sailing out over the bar during a nap—nice way to go.
And soon……for the first time since forever I will be animal-free—never to go there again. I’m going to be ok with that. (lol both the dog and cat were delivered here by the daughter dropping them off after situational changes)
Sturge, I’m late reading about the loss of your pup. As Charles McCord once said wisely to Imus, it’s a day that comes in every dog owner’s life. Still we miss them and the space they filled in our hearts.
BBC did a nice job here… Project 2025: The Trump presidency wish list, explained — Project 2025 proposes that the entire federal bureaucracy, including independent agencies such as the Department of Justice, be placed under direct presidential control — Consolidation of various US immigration agencies and a large expansion in their powers. Trump himself is promising “the most massive deportation” in American history. — Project 2025 proposes slashing federal money for research and investment in renewable energy, and calls for the next president to “stop the war on oil and natural gas”. — Ban the abortion pill. — Ban pornography on the Internet. Tech and telecoms companies that facilitate access to such content would be shut down — Eliminate a long list of terms from all laws and federal regulations, including “sexual orientation”, “diversity, equity, and inclusion”, “gender equality”, “abortion” and “reproductive rights”.
A bright spot yesterday here at my house was sitting-in on a conversation between two bald-headed middle age right-leaning working white guys both arguing for gay- and trans- rights and nondiscrimination. Progress is slow, but it’s happening.
Stugeone – absolutely sorry to hear about your dog. Be happy with the memories. Don’t know where and how long ago the saying about dogs being angels, but without wings, on Earth.
And, the thing about the people leaving is so true. And now it is those younger.

Joe Biden is no debater. He’s not even a great communicator these days. But he is an excellent decision maker & he has been the best President since LBJ. He has surrounded himself with brilliant, knowledgeable people who also care deeply about our country and about our lives. If Joe decides to stay in office, he and his team will continue to make good decisions that are right for the people of United Stares of America and for the world
Just tell ‘em what pumpkin tells them: He was joking, he was being sarcastic, His suit didn’t come back from the cleaners, he had a flat tire, friend came in from out of town…..or better….just ignore ‘em. Fuck ‘em….Steady as she goes Joe..,full speed ahead.
At this juncture, spirits are “flagging.” These are the things my maggers have been saying to me for many months. I feel like Joe walked into their trap. Whoever his people are and whatever they’re doing, they have not served him well to this point.
Guess he’ll pull all those ads his SuperPac is running promoting Project 2025. This shows they’re seeing the blowback.
I know nothing about Project 2025. I have no idea who is behind it. I disagree with some of the things they’re saying and some of the things they’re saying are absolutely ridiculous and abysmal.

How the Supreme Court Bolstered Project 2025 In 1984, when a unanimous Supreme Court adopted a policy of deference, it wrote that “federal judges — who have no constituency — have a duty to respect legitimate policy choices made by those who do.” Last week, an ideologically divided Court reversed course saying that it was courts that have a “special competence in resolving statutory ambiguities.” “…last week the Supreme Court overruled a 40-year precedent requiring courts to defer to agency interpretations of the laws they administer. At the heart of the prior doctrine was a belief that agencies staffed with experts and receiving public input are better suited than judges to make complex judgments on how best to implement ambiguous laws.” “Setting aside its unilateral abrogation of power, the Court’s decision helps achieve a central goal of Project 2025 — the so-called “dismantling the administrative state.” By removing deference to agencies,… Read more »
