Few months ago there were 4 different houses I passed regularly that were flying drumpf flags. One by one, they've all since come down.
I don't know whether they're just embarrassed, or have truly begun to understand, but at least they've taken that first step. 🤷♂️
It's said that strip joints are the "canary in the coal mine" for upcoming recessions. I'm reading that a recession is coming, does that line up with what you're currently experiencing?
Step One. Count all of the calories you eat in a day. Check that nutritional info, do the math, add it up, see what you're eating without leaving anything out.
Step Two. Try to minimize sugar, carbs, and bad fat, while maximizing protein and fiber. My go-to daily meal plan is steel cut oatmeal in the morning, sweetened with baking splenda, pinch of salt, and cinnamon. Intermittent fast through lunch with coffee. Dinner is open face (so only 1 slice of bread) turkey sandwiches, Black bean soup spiked with tobasco and extra black beans. For dessert, make a big ol bowl of banana cream or vanilla pudding with skim milk. Find a meal plan that works for you, you don't have to eat the same thing everyday, but have that back-up meal plan ready to go in case you don't feel like making something different.
Step Three. Don't inhale your food. It takes your body 20 minutes between attaining a "full" stomach, and your stomach alerting your brain to that fact. Thus, pacing your food is important. How to do that? PUT THE FOOD DOWN. If you pick up your sandwich, eat half, then put it back down, take a drink of water, then you can finish it. Have a big ass glass of water with every meal. I also buy baby carrots, you can get a nice 1 lb bag, and in between dinner items, eat a handful of baby carrots. They're crunchy, full of water, and help you pace yourself through dinner.
Step Four. Go for a walk after you eat. A little bit of exercise, even a walk around the neighborhood for a few minutes, is enough to to tell your body that you want it to take all that energy you just took in, and use it immediately. You're telling your body "Hey, don't put all that energy into long term (fatty) storage, make it available, and of use right now."
Step Five. Add in Exercise at your own pace. Start with something manageable, achievable, and then make it routine. Whether that means walking your dog instead of just letting them out into the yard, start small, build at your own pace. Make it a daily habit. (Pro-tip, whenever you feel like skipping a day, tell yourself all you have to do is get dressed for the exercise and do it for five minutes. if you do that much and still feel off, you're allowed to take a rest day. The majority of the time, once you get started, you start to feel better and end up doing it. the key is getting dressed and putting yourself into the position to do it, even if you allow yourself to stop. just keep putting yourself into position to succeed with your new habit.) This also works as an effective daily anti-depressant.
Step Six. Reward yourself for achievements. When you start these things, your body will respond, and you will feel better, more confident, sexier in your own skin. Celebrate with some new clothes that let you show it off. Feel good about it, it's something you earned!
Step Seven. Allow for cheat days. This you can do every week, every two weeks, whenever you decide. If you find yourself going hard-core on the diet and then crashing into a food frenzy, it's because your going too hard, and need to allow for a cheat day. Be kind to yourself if you break your diet on a miserable day, and use that as information to consult when scheduling your next cheat day. The long term goal is to reorganize your thoughts around food, and having specific times when you let yourself go whole hog on a bag of Oreos or whatever, lets you recognize that behavior as a reward, or special circumstance, and not a daily activity.
Congrats, you're now feeling better, looking better, and those two facts will reverberate through the rest of your life like ripples through a pond, making you happier and healthier.
Fucking RAPE. It's called RAPE. Why is it whenever a fucking woman rapes a child they dance around it with terms like molestation? It's fucking called RAPE. She RAPED them. Bury her under the fucking prison.
Indeed, kenneth copeland is still alive
Who is the doctor that resuscitated pootin?? Dude, first order of medicine is "do no harm." Reviving a bloodthirsty despot is 100% fucking harm.
Don't vote for fascists, stupid.
Am I doing it right?
The Cutest Cthulu
Farley, who earns more than $228,000 a year, heads a police force that has 140 uniformed officers who patrol a 5.57 square mile township of some 60,000 residents that sits directly across the Hudson River from Manhattan and recorded two homicides last year, the most since 2016, according to the police department’s records.
Straight out of CopLand 😶
Well it's been another banner week for the dipshit parade you voted for. I know you're not paying attention to it, so let me round it up for you.
Dear leader Trump administration fires members of cybersecurity review board in ‘horribly shortsighted’ decision. Surely that won't come back to bite us in the ass, right?
Dear leader proposes ‘getting rid of FEMA’ while touring disaster areas. You know, like a jackass might.
Dear leader giving a nazi oligarch office space in the Eisenhower building. (There's a fox news link just for you!) He has since gone on to lock Office of Personnel Management workers out of computer systems. But hey, those systems only contain dates of birth, Social Security numbers, appraisals, home addresses, pay grades and length of service of all government workers.
"We have no visibility into what they are doing with the computer and data systems," one of the officials said. "That is creating great concern. There is no oversight. It creates real cybersecurity and hacking implications." (Good thing Dear Leader fired the cybersecurity team!)
Dear Leader's massive deportations are causing farm workers to stop showing up for harvest. Leaving American farmers high and dry, they're crop rotting in the field. I wonder what that will do to grocery prices? 🤔 But don't worry, Dear Leader is siding with his chief immigrant to extend the H1B Visa program, allowing immigrants to take the jobs of professional Americans too!
Dear Leader decided to speak at an anti-abortion rally in Washington attended heavily by, you guessed it, white supremacist group patriot front!
Dear Leader decided to withdraw from the Paris Climate Accords, because climate change is just a Chinese hoax, right?? He followed that up by curtailing wind energy projects, while expanding oil and gas drilling! Wow, good thing Climate change is a chinese hoax right??
Here's NASA saying it's not. Climate change is real and your dear leader is expediting the destruction of our planet.
Dear Leader released files on MLK and JFK assasination, but curiously didn't release the epstien files, Gee, I wonder why? Here's Dear Leader talking specifically about it, and here's why he won't release it. Wow, 7 trips to epstein's island, huh? Here's a Direct quote from Dear Leader;
“I’ve known Jeff for fifteen years. Terrific guy,” Trump told New York Magazine that year for a story headlined “Jeffrey Epstein: International Moneyman of Mystery.” “He’s a lot of fun to be with. It is even said that he likes beautiful women as much as I do, and many of them are on the younger side. No doubt about it — Jeffrey enjoys his social life.”
Dear Leader, in a gift to Russia and China, orders a freeze to all aid to Ukraine and Taiwan. Wow, who could have seen that coming?
Dear Leader nominated a white nationalist domestic abuser whose only qualification is being a fox news talking head to run the Defense Dept. While also nominating puppy killer ivanka stand-in as head of Dept. of Homeland Security. And can't forget your favorite worm-brained anti-vax moron that thinks wifi causes cancer, RFK!
Dear Leader attempts an illegal firing of Dept. Watchdog Inspectors Generals. Can't imagine why he wouldn't want corruption watchdogs on staff!
Dear Leader couldn't even make it a whole week without golfing, holding a gop retreat at his private resort, and funneling millions of taxpayer dollars into his pockets. Because, lest we forget, he never divested from ANY of his companies. Jimmy Carter sold his fucking peanut farm.
Dear Leader, in a sign of gratitude to their terrorism, pardoned jan 6th terrorists. Dozens of whom had past criminal convictions for charges including rape, manslaughter, domestic violence and drug trafficking (They're sending their best!). They immediately go on to get in a shoot out with police.
Dear Leader also pardoned violent anti-abortion extremists, while simultaneously announcing that his administration would no longer enforce the FACE Act, which protected abortion clinics from these violent religious extremists. An act that was put in place after the murder of Dr. David Gunn in 1993. Gee, can't foresee anything bad happening from these decisions!
Dear Leader fires justice dept. staff in blatant retaliation to their involvement in the legal prosecution of his criminal activities. Convicted felon gets elected, immediately fires people who investigated his felonies. The Onion couldn't write a headline like this!
Dear Leader also wasted no time in canceling student visas for pro-Palestinian protestors in a gift to the man currently genociding their people, natenyahu.
Dear Leader cancels all federal grants and loans, sending everything into chaos, from college students with FAFSA, to people with medicaid. Wow, what a fuckwit.
“This sort of came out of the blue,” said David Smith, a spokesperson for the Shawnee Mission School District in Kansas, one of countless districts that receive federal funding. Now they’re trying to figure out what it means “based on zero information.”
Dear Leader began purging any competence out of federal employees with sycophantic loyalty tests.
Dear Leader bans trans Americans from openly serving in the military. Cuz why not?
Dear Leader is setting up a 30 thousand bed concentration camp at a torture black site, but I'm sure for nothing nefarious! It's not like the 200 deported Colombians included pregnant women and children — but no criminals... oh wait.
Dear Leader fired the head of the U.S. Coast Guard and TSA, while terminating the Aviation Security Advisory Committee. (Cue Curb Your Enthusiasm Intro) which immediately resulted in a mid-air collision over the Potomac River that claimed 67 Americans, AND a crash in Philadelphia which saw 7 dead and 19 injured. Wow, what a short-sighted totally-stable genius! Almost like when he fired the pandemic response team immediately before a world-wide pandemic!
In response to these deadly crashes, Dear Leader blames minorities. Wow! So creative!
Dear Leader also, for some unknown reason, ordered a pause of all activities and events related to Martin Luther King Jr. Day, Black History Month, Juneteenth, LGBTQ Pride Month, Holocaust Remembrance Day. Wow! This guy really hates minorities and women, am I right?
And last (for now) but most assuredly not the least, Dear Leader ordered Army Corp. of Engineers to flood California farms in a nonsensical political stunt.
“Something really bad could happen because of their nonsensical approach,” the former official, who was granted anonymity because of the issue’s political sensitivity, said. “Floods are real. This isn’t playing around with a software company.”
Dumping the water from Lake Kaweah and Success Lake poses a flood risk to downstream communities, he said, like the town of Porterville, which nearly flooded during rainstorms in 2023. It also reduces the amount of irrigation water available to farmers during the driest months of the year. The snowpack in the Southern Sierra Nevada that California depends on for water supplies in the summer has dipped to 47 percent of average for this time of year after a dry January, according to state estimates released Friday.
“We need to keep every bit that we have, because this potentially is irrigation water that we have up there,” Hernandez said.
Wow! What a fucking moron!
That's all I have for this week, please let me know what sense you can make of all this horse-shittery, because I'm stumped!

I am (sorta - it would still take a tremendous amount of effort), but I also have dreams I want to chase here that just aren't possible elsewhere. It's a real shitty catch-22.
