It's going to be interesting for us. We're retired, I think we have enough to stay afloat but my wife is still working part time with a consulting business. Most of it is related to some Public TV initiatives. Things like the National Governor's Association's "Argue Better" initiative which promotes bipartisanship (which seems to be a dirty word by the fringe on both sides) .She's also getting involved with groups preparing for the Sesquicentennial of the Declaration of Independence in 2026. Along with some grant writing. What scares me is in regard to health care and insurance costs moving forward, especially if they cute Medicare and drop the initiatives to bring drug costs in line. When you have one prescription that runs more than a mortgage payment, I might be sharing the dog's dish.

Would much rather be woke than asleep at the wheel.

But Biden; something, something, something, The Sleuth Troop ‪@seditionhunters.bsky.social‬ Follow Pedophile Michael Gerald Marroquin owner of Peddler's Paradise resale shop in Port Neches, Texas among those pardoned by Trump for his #Jan6 crimes

Which in the end leads to a very slippery slope and establishes a one party system. Then the US becomes like Hungary at best

With Virginia statewide elections coming up in 10 months, I need to keep harping. "it's the Economy stupid". The presumed GOP successor to Trumpkin is a real nut job

I have a friend whose daughter had an offer rescinded from BLM (Bureau of Land Management). Another 40 soon to be out on the streets, making America Great Again

I've gotten to the point where I'll just copy post text, if I'm ambitious enough I'll open it in chrome and post the link.

Carter pardoned draft dodgers residing in Canada.

Our resident Trump Bot hasn't weighed in yet

The movie version of the speech FWIW

I learned a long time ago that media companies, like all other businesses are only interested in one thing $$$$. If you get a chance go back and watch the movie that came out a few years ago about the Edward R Murrow/Sen Joesph McCarthy era. At the beginning is a speech Murrow made to the Radio Television News Directors Association in 1958. It rings Venice more true today. https://www.rtdna.org/murrows-famous-wires-and-lights-in-a-box

At least one of people Trump released has a conscience. I applaud her for being honest.

The minister who marketed a coin after giving the prayer at the inauguration now finds that his promotional stunt is worth $0.0002667

Wait a second. I was told all vaccines are bad by 2nd Asst Pres Kennedy. What gives? https://www.mobihealthnews.com/news/trump-unveils-500b-project-stargate-build-ai-infrastructure-us

If Bluesky would only make it easier to embed posts. Sharing their content is difficult for us over the hill guys

Like that will happen return of the spoils system or patronage hiring. That's what's happening now in Trump's World. The big donors, families, friends, Fox Personalities get the jobs

They have removed the Constitution from the White House Website. THEY claim the website is being reworked. A JR High coding class could do a better job than what I'm seeing. Just all of Fearless Leaders's pronouncements All Hail Fearless Leader, whomever he may be

I will when I see him eating eggs on TV. Every morning for the next two months

He probably has no idea either, just pulling things out of thin air looking for attention.

Unfortunately, like it or not he's part of the administration. There's a fine line, that's gotten even finer in recent weeks. You're a member of a team that presents a daily newscast. You are (or used to be) by "older standards" to present a semblance of impartiality. Yada, yada, yada, I know Faux News, Snewsmax, MSNBC and all that. Then again I'm old school and my wife was an All News Radio Manager, I haven't asked her, but to me this stuff doesn't fly. Especially in today's world. The same goes for any remarks or videos or posts made on the other side. IMO immediate dismissal. And let the Union, if there is one fight it out with corporate HR
