Hi from Sacramento!

On our way to Medford, OR Margaritaville today. Tomorrow Washington, then Canada.

Posting will be light, replies will be even lighter.

We beeline it from stop to stop, so no thank you on your suggestions on where to go/stop. This isn’t a vacay, this is what we do on our “commute” to BC: Drive for 8-9 hours, sleep, drive for another 8-9, etc.

We’re on a mission. 😉

Time for ☕️

One of the richest men in the 1920s was Andrew Mellon — an early prophet of “trickle-down” economics.

His grandson, Timothy Mellon, is bankrolling Trump's reelection.

Timothy uses his platform to rage against social programs.

This is how dynastic wealth works.

Wealth tax now.

@enoch @flexghost my sister’s doxxie caught a squirrel in MT.
After that she thought she was the queen of the world.
That little dog climbed trees!

Dems are usually terrible at messaging

But this: this is a home run.

🏆 Oh suh-NAP! (He should have said, “Mr. President…SIR, with tears in his eyes…” for bonus mockage)

Via Kyle Griffin:

President #Biden, speaking at a Texas fundraiser: "Just the other day, this defeated looking man came up to me and said: 'Mr. President I need your help. I'm in crushing debt. I'm completely wiped out.' I had to say, 'Donald, I can't help you'." #Trump

If a jury needs clearance to view the Trump docs then he’s guilty

Judge Cannon has intentionally ignored CIPA, a system used to substitute summations for classified material and she must be removed.

@flexghost How do we get her removed?
Looks awful “impropriety” to me.

"The future of proselytizing—and surveillance—has arrived. An app called Bless Every Home, which has been backed by some of the biggest names in evangelical circles, is mapping the personal information of immigrants and non-Christians in a bid to conduct door-to-door religious conversions and 'prayerwalking' rituals through their neighborhoods."

@wdlindsy how do we prevent this?
I skimmed the article….. my eyes can’t read screens very well.
I’m Christian & don’t wish to debate or engage at all w Christian extremists. Too many #MAGAts already know where I live and what I stand for.

@wdlindsy @RiaResists
Yeah, me too.
This new hyper-evangelical type doesn’t feel safe to me. JW to me are pretty harmless.
My sister used to have them wait while she grabbed her Bible, then she’d sit on the front steps with them for as long as they did what they did.

Yes- it was quite a surprise to me the first time I witnessed it.
I think the neighbors scratched their heads, too.

The neighbor’s cat is at it again. I think she’s just bored and waiting to get back in, but the birds and squirrels are annoyed. And Milli is ABSOLUTELY INCENSED.

Quality entertainment happening for you!

Stay to the very end.

Then share like crazy.

#Biden nailed it.

@GottaLaff They are in backwards land, or oppositeland. It’s bizarre to me.

Via Emptywheel:

Gonna repeat again: This is who the #GOP is. Their collective horror at this woman grimacing through her comfortable life is horror at themselves.

It came off as no worse than your average James Comer hearing, after all.

Daily Beast's Jake Lahut:

NEW on private GOP freakout brewing over Katie #Britt's #SOTU response:

“Everyone’s fucking losing it. It’s 1of our biggest disasters ever.” Being likened to Rubio water bottle moment & Bobby Jindal's infamous 2009 SOTU response.

@GottaLaff whaaaaat?
They see what we see?
I don’t get it.
What are they up to?

flexghost , 3 months ago to random

What the hell is this?

I made it 3 minutes into Katie Britt’s astonishingly bad SotU rebuttal

Drop on the comments how far you can make it into this clip before turning it off

@flexghost I’ve only seen a couple 15 second clips.
Sooooo bad.
More like the start of a new access to mental health treatment than a rebuttal.

WTAF!

"U.S. intelligence officials are planning to brief #Trump on national security matters if he secures the GOP nomination this summer — despite concerns about his handling of classified information.

The decision would be in keeping with a tradition that dates back to 1952, but it would mark the first time an admin has volunteered to share classified information with a candidate who is facing criminal charges on charges that he mishandled classified documents." https://www.politico.com/news/2024/03/07/biden-intel-briefings-trump-00145651

Jesus.
My God, when it hit me my nieces could’ve also been victims. I wa too afraid to tell anyone.
When I was well into adulthood, before I got sober, for some reason I told one of my sisters. I swore her to secrecy as my hyper Catholic fam has bizarre rules/ideas about sex.
She in turn blasted my abuser on my 3rd day of rehab. She hijacked my treatment. I spent the whole time, like a good little girl trying to fix each person
