Funny how a couple of immigrants are going to take away Ma & Pa Kettle's Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security.

Think about this for a second. Withdrawing his name from consideration for AG is the only leverage Matt Gates had to squash the ethics probe report. He's made enough enemies on the R side of the aisle such that if a full House vote was taken, releasing the report would likely be approved. Now it will be tabled.

This guy used to be respected. This is what happens when you give up all self-respect bec you think you can make a buck off of it.

Until you realize Orange Jesus doesn't pay his bills. And I'm not talking just cash.

I have a close acquaintance who works for the US federal government. They had a 1-on-1 with their supervisor today. The supervisor did not know there was a government continuing resolution expiring on 12/20.

The supervisor, a GS-15 pulling in ~~ $130K salary / yr, also said, "Hey, all branches of government are now run by the GOP. They'll fix this. No worries"

Not until 2025, idiot.

Morning Joe & Mika traveled to Mar-A-Lago over the past weekend to bend a knee & kiss the ring. Sigh. See ya, MS-NBC. It also popped into my head that I haven't listened to a minute of NPR since Nov. 5th. CNN = dead to me. Unsubscribed from NYT & WaPo. I'm done with state run media.

Moscow Mule. Vodka not included.

Some of us served.

Some of us had bone spurs.

Some of us will ever forgive, nor forget, what the Republican Party did to this man.

The fncknuckles (Musk and Ramaswamy) who are going on about slashing and burning the VA, who never served a minute, are going to have a hot fight on their hands.

After 10 days of reflection, I've decided that, as a veteran, this is my new mission. It's something I can compartmentalize, wrap my hands around, and truly make a difference. From A. Lincoln, at the establishment of the VA:

Priorities. Always.

Ya gotta click on the pic. Perfect.

G'nite.

Hope this creeping grunge I've collected departs overnight. Sniff. Hack.

Whatever you think might or might not happen, that's the plan going forward. Chaos. Be prepared.

Bet you didn't see this coming. Mutt Gates as AG?

Leon isn't going to last a Scarramuci in 🍊 🤡 's administration.

America has been diagnosed with a terminal disease. We've been given a bit more than two months left to go. Make the most of it personally while we, collectively, do our best to find a cure.

My Veteran's Day spent with a fellow vet. It was awesome.
