Let's have a livestream of Trump crapping his pants

 Livestreaming public executions (check TV Guide).  CNN will carry anything.  Botched executions.  Trump term becoming like Faces of Death.  Give Trump a toga.  If you dropped a match on Hegseth's head would it go on fire?  (Please algorithm don't report me).  IRAN - wrap it up already!  Only the Hannitys of the world can afford to fill 'er up.  Latest episode of Trump brain neurons misfiring - If you don't refer to AI as Super Intelligence you're the enemy.  AI can't even handle my smartphone app.  Diddy fighting in prison.  What else?


Finally have a financial plan in order.  It ain't great but it'll do.  Went home after work yesterday and Yonkers Water Bill in my mailbox.  Water bill shot way up.  Dunno what happened.   Now I can't take that bubble bath with the CB.  Do I make the check out to AI?

A cultural note

 Mulling over an early retirement.  Did the rough math in my head and it might be possible.  When I bring up the subject a fairly common response I get from people is "what would you be doing?"  Do these people not have hobbies?


My friend one day I went over his place and his retired Dad had his pajama bottoms on with one of those plastic cups with the built in straw with soda in it.  'Bout 11 in the morning getting ready to watch a Western.  It was a beautiful thing.  You paid your dues and worked like an animal your whole life you have the right to watch Westerns all day if you want.  I don't plan to be a member of the ancient people still working club.


The Golden Years.  Work 'til you drop?  I don't think so.

There is no context. The context is stupidity.

 I actually go out of my way to be fair.  I'm not like the rest.  Somebody says something controversial.  Twist in everyone's knickers bees in the bonnet.  CONTEXT please what was the intention of the speaker?  Controversial movies and songs down through the years.  I want to hear what the creator or artist has to say.  Having said that Trump at a Nebraska campaign rally on Iran: "Let them take out Los Angeles.  Let them take out San Diego."  WH gave their spin.  Me? sounds like Trump is OK with Iran nuking those two Left coast cities.  


No matter how you slice it this is demented and I'm a fair guy;)

They're feeling no pain

 


Flea medicine from Chewy is very expensive.  You don't get a break on the refills either. Wondering if Trump can cut us cat owners a check.


OR do Republicans have to win the House and Senate first?  Those 5K dividend checks Dave says they'd add another trillion to the national debt.  No doubt.  Since Elon Musk can wipe his ass with money he can fund it.  Won't add to the debt and besides I need a new fence in the backyard.  Maybe some alley work.  Hey why not send the checks out NOW?  That's where Trump is stupid.  You don't need martial law for the midterms.  Just soften up some libs.  Also put ICE on hold.


We're living in surreal times;)

Come on down. You're the next contestant on The Trump Is Right!

 I notice the closer we get to the midterms Trump starting to announce cash giveaways to various groups.  $500 checks to about 1 million Americans who overpaid Obamacare premiums.  Now he's giving away $90 to about 20 million seniors to help with Medicare costs.  What will it be tomorrow $50 to cover Fancy Feast?


Don't know if I qualify for anything yet.  Do I get to spin the wheel?

I'm sorry, what?

 "Give me an example of where we went too far."


Tom Homan on the growing criticism of ICE even among some Republican lawmakers.

Things were fine until the app update

 Kind of sums up the state of technology these days.


Have a prepaid smartphone.  Pay as you go.  No contract.  Save money that way.  App used to be user-friendly and at least functional.  You saw your balance right away.  After the update always trouble logging in.  So I have a general plan with great talk and text and a service end date.  I now opt for a monthly plan with unlimited talk text and data and a generous allowance for a hotspot.  The unlimited plan is supposed to take priority for the time being but the AI (?) reversed it.  Texted with Support and got a human name but I think they shifted me over into ai territory.  Message said they applied an update to my settings and data and tethering should work but doesn't.  Yada yada.  Boring personal stuff but things always seem better before the upgrades.


On the newsfront I read Trump has some other check up his ass.  $500 for about 1 million Americans see if you qualify.  Didn't bother to read.  Actually nobody ever qualifies for these Trump promises as these checks never seem to come out of the man's ass.  Also reading Elon Musk says money may not matter in the future.  Easy for him to say.
