In the mail yesterday I got a letter from AARP warning me about a republican-based bill, The Trust Act which is going to attack Social Security benefits of retirees. Their letter solicited donations to fight this bill.
In July of 2022 I sent an email to the CEO of AARP asking why they're supporting the election of pols that were going to attack Social Security. I received a response telling me that I was misinterpreting the motives of those pols receiving AARP endorsements. Bullshit.

AmazonSmiles charity donation gets discontinued. Jassy cutting costs I see. Well he also cut back on how much drivers make too. Prices of everything have gone up. Pay accordingly.

Don't be a Jack Ass Jassy

Republicans raised the debt ceiling three times during the Trump administration with no fuss at all. They never felt it necessary to try to persuade Trump to cut spending, and the Freedom Caucus didn’t utter a peep as he massively increased the deficit. These hostage situations are reserved for times when the GOP holds the House and a Democrat is in the White House. Shocking, I know.

Day four of hanging with our new puppy. Sage is almost nine months old and learning so much. It’s wonderful to watch her fascination with everything!

This just popped up in my memories from 2018. Still makes me giggle.

New addition to our family today! CoSo - meet Sage. She's a sweet rescue!

Thankful that we elected one of the most compassionate men to every hold the office of President of the US. Joe Biden is sincere, honest and deeply connects with everyone of those honored today. Thank you to all those honored. You're real public servants and quite a contrast to what is happening in the halls of Congress today.

Groundhog day isn't usually celebrated until February 2nd. I nominate Bill Murray to be our next Speaker of the House.

Today is what happens when enough gerrymandered American voters elect career opportunists that hate government to govern.

Can't we fast forward through the next two years?

Today I learned that Republicans don't even find EACH OTHER electable.

We the GOP will delete the ethics committee because we consistently have no ethics

Jimbo has been in Congress for 16 years and has never passed a single bit of legistlation. Clown.

Pick a Congressperson, make them Speaker, then absolutely chuck them off the proverbial glass cliff of trying to leader this House.

This is like sacrificing politicians to a volcano made of paperwork and banality.

Almost fun.
