It’s Friday. There are 724 days until the midterm elections. Blue state governors draw some lines, the Fed chair says he ain’t leaving and the rich assholes get richer.
Love your posts and you always make me laugh which is a very good thing. Cut off the news as I don’t want the nazi in chief in my head so you’re info keeps me informed. By the way, I think you’re really sexy.
Thank you for keeping your part of the bargain and pumping out news. State Governors must resist draconian laws affecting women’s health, environmental protections, education standards, guaranteed healthcare, immigrant rights, lgbtq rights, immunization programs and the like.
Senator Warren, as always, is full of good advice. Her plan to Fuck Things Up in congress and the courts is already in planning among those whose reaction to Tuesday was "total resistance."
1. Especially if you are on Medicare, get any vaccinations you want and need by end of January, preferably sooner.
If you want some of those free Covid test kits, request them now if you did not get them in the last offer.
Probably should stock up on masks, too, since those all come from China. We saw what a shitshow fuckface made of the pandemic. NC GOP even passed a law recently that it is illegal for anyone to where a mask in public. Old feisty sick people said “come and get me”. Remember, the cruelty is the point.
And don’t forget Joe’s price controls for big pharma will go away fast, and many drug ingredients come from China, so stockpile as much as your doctor will let you. I bet Manchin’s daughter can’t wait to jack up the price of epi pens again!
God only knows what Brainworm has in mind. I have heard, absolutely cannot confirm, that they want to can Medicare and force everyone to medicare advantage plans. If you have ever had major healthcare issues, you know the difference and boy that sounds like something right in their cruelty wheelhouse.
2. If you really want/need a new tv or phone or espresso maker (expensive crap that comes from overseas), put them on your christmas list. We need to make these big corporations squeal like stuck pigs when they try to pass fuckface’s tariffs to us. How much shit do we really need? That is how we finally got them to stop raising prices this past year. We just stopped buying their bs.
"By making Medicare Advantage—privatized Medicare—the default option for all Medicare enrollees, Project 2025’s plan would lead to a multibillion-dollar giveaway to corporations that would limit older Americans’ health care choices while putting Medicare’s future at risk."
Elections-?? He's terminating the Constitution. While admirable governors such as GN and JBP have national guards, they also need to be careful with them. Law enforcement personnel number heavily through maga. The military or a "people's" militia won't notice decision makers such as JP-?? Time for us to ask: "what would Putin do?" Self-deluding does not save us.
Exactly. I would prefer to be wrong but I am the type who assumes the worst possible outcome and works backwards from there, ie hopes for the best. In this case I think expecting the worst may help us survive.
I am already thinking about what I need and should buy before the end of this year. I am also thinking about what credit cards I need or don’t need. I already canceled the prime video subscription and Amazon prime account. Don’t need it and don’t want to continue to subsidize Bezo and his yachts and girlfriend. A lot to do before the end of the year.
Smart. It certainly doesn’t hurt to scrutinize & prioritize, right? I hate Amazon and I dumped wapo when he started pulling in Murdoch people. I feel like I need to build a wall around myself as much as possible. I keep thinking about how deeply the russians, chinese, etc have gotten into our computer systems and utility grids. Scary stuff cause Donald doesn’t care if the check is big enough.
Make sure you have cash and that everything, if you have any money, is not tied up in investments. I already told my investment guy we need to talk by end of year. I know Wall St is very happy right now (they’ve just been set free), and he talked me out of pulling my money out of investments earlier this year (they are allegedly “low risk”), but I remember 2008 well and have told him I can’t do that again. I am retired and cannot rebuild now. My IRA is all I’ve got except for some cash savings & my home, and it’s not much. Being a cancer survivor means knowing things could go South any day and with no idea of the future of healthcare? Yikes. We have seen what happens when Wall St is allowed to run rampant. It will all melt down again. That’s what the GOP does every. damned. time.
I really wish ill on these assholes. I would like to be the bigger person but I just can’t.
Of course, the whole damn country isn't going to shit. Only 30% of eligible voters voted for the grifter, and many of them are not on board with much of the MAGA agenda. They were oblivious and misinformed but most of them are not terrible people. I expect chaos and inefficiency from MAGA, considering how much they back-stab and hate each other. There will probably be a lot of buyer's remorse, as well. We are not alone.
Don’t underestimate what “no guardrails” means. They have already partially destroyed the judiciary with more Aileen Cannons to come. With control of the House and Senate there is a lot of hurtful retribution they can do really fast. Think civil service, think medicare, think ACA, think social security, think any program that benefits the poor and children. Think about all those lovely cabinet positions that will go to loyalists if not canned altogether like the EPA and NOAA and then there is Elon who is promising to tank our economy “for our own good”. Your mind is living in our old world, not the world to come. Pedal faster, my friend. Project 2025 is real and laws mean nothing when there is no one to enforce them.
My mind is living in a very real world. Perhaps your worst case scenario will come true. We shall see. But if your vision is correct there’s no point in peddling at all. Until it’s clear that things are hopeless, per your comment, I will stand with the tens of millions of Americans — the majority of Americans — who do not support MAGA extremism. Not only resisting, but also enjoying my current moments.
Wow. I prepare for the worst and hope for...well not the best, too late for that now...but less bad. I never said things are hopeless or that I don’t find joy in my current life. That was a cheap shot, dude. I am a realist. I have heard every threat/promise they have made for years now and they have been consistent. This is not 2016. And your post sounded like someone who doesn’t really understand the threat. Oh it’s only 30%, oh there will be buyer’s remorse. No, we are not alone but your alleged 30% discovering buyer’s remorse are definitely not going to save us, either. So many Americans naively believe in some inevitability of democracy and their freedom and so don’t really believe it could be taken away. They have been blase about it for far too long. We are where the shit hits the fan now. So I wish you well with your resistance.
People’s March on Washington; (Saturday January 18th) two days before the inauguration.
Be there! Will be wild! But in a nice way! Peaceful and respectful, no animal pelts, and fake bullhorns allowed. 😂 Don’t give up! Don’t preemptively surrender!
Hell to the no. Trump won. He will laugh at you at best. At worst accelerate his plans for retribution. You will accomplish nothing. He will sign a national abortion ban just to bitch slap you. We are no longer in 2016.
This isn't a game- the threat is REAL! Wake the FUCK UP! There will be no restraints- the patients will be in charge of the asylum! MSM has already started to NORMALIZE this shit saying Susie WIles ia a MODERATE! Holy Fuck Balls she ran the most racist, fascist ugly campaign ever!
Love your posts and you always make me laugh which is a very good thing. Cut off the news as I don’t want the nazi in chief in my head so you’re info keeps me informed. By the way, I think you’re really sexy.
Just reserved a hotel room in Washington DC and looking at airfare from Ft Lauderdale Florida.
Round trip is below $200.00! People’s March on January 18th, two days before the inauguration.
We have to peacefully show defiance and resistance. Donald Trump does not have a mandate!
While he did finally manage to win the popular vote, the margin of victory was half of Bidens
just four years ago. Fascism works by making people give up out of shear exhaustion, don’t give up!
I’m afraid youre naive talking about a peaceful protest.. It DOESNT take two to start a fight.
Right. This is the guy who wanted protesters in Lafayette Park shot in the legs. Milley won’t be there this time to push back.
So wish I could go. Have original art work from Kristen Suh The Pussyhat Project, and made many hats to support the cause 😝
People need to full realize what “no guardrails” means. You are in Russia now, not the US.
Yeah remember the pussy hat protests? In the end that didn’t change much. Americans have short little attention spans.
Yes but we had a hella good time sticking it to him
I honestly don’t understand how women vote for him…it’s like they don’t have any self respect.
Come on. The Pussy Hat protests were just a fun way of sending him up.
All this resistance is encouraging, but let's understand the danger we face.
Dictators don't follow the rules or the law. Be prepared for trump's AG to threaten to arrest people who oppose him - LOOKING AT YOU FED CHAIRMAN.
We need to be ready - Don't bring a knife to a gun fight.
Couldn't agree more--tragically. They will do anything.
Every time now I hear someone mention the law I grimace. What laws? And who is going to enforce them?
Everyone who is at least semi-literate should begin a diary. Those in power never record history accurately.

Thank you for fighting the good fight. I've been in a major funk since Wednesday early morning, but you guys help keep me from drowning in despair.
Thank you so much for all of your work, and continuing to do it. You've helped me make it through. <3
We’re not going anywhere. We band together to resist fascism.
I’m seeing some good advice:
1. Especially if you are on Medicare, get any vaccinations you want and need by end of January, preferably sooner.
If you want some of those free Covid test kits, request them now if you did not get them in the last offer.

Look for them to invoke the 25th amendment so fast your head will spin!
Any who do may find themselves the recipient of some special Russian tea. Donald is Putin’s favorite puppet.
