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."

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.

Yonkers wants to get paid

 Was telling my sister the last time I mailed in my Yonkers property tax I verified through my banking app the check cleared in literally three days which I thought was pretty amazing but she did me one better.  She studiously follows her money matters and knows precisely when her payments clear.  A kind of financial ocd.  So she was telling me some time back she got one of those red-light traffic camera summonses in the mail.  She dutifully mailed in her check and it cleared in TWO days!  Not that the cams are a revenue enhancer mind you but they do cash your checks extremely fast go figure.  I've had contractors take their time with my payments.  Yonkers seems in a bit of a hurry.  What do they have some guy sitting at a desk and as soon as your check arrives he puts on his coat and says "I got this?"


Checks coming out of Trump's ass.  There was that DOGE check never got.  Some kind of tariff rebate check but that went to some corporations I believe and not the citizens and now the 5K check if we corrupt the midterms.  Trump keeps dicking us around.  Could've did some home renovations or paid off some high-interest credit cards and watch my credit score go way down.  The Orange Man - bullshit artist. 


Between Yonkers and Trump I can't get ahead.  I'd settle for a gas rebate check at this point.  30 bucks a week?
