This is what my son Ryan wanted to be and would have been had he not been KIA in Iraq. He was inspired by my dad, who’s a National Park junkie. I hope this trend reverses.

Well, now. Another Sunday.

I REALLY can’t stand MAGA motherfuckers.

Yes, I know it’s a fucking screen shot from Goddamn X but I’m more focused on how this motherfucker made the heads of so many tRumpanzees fucking explode! BHAHAHAHAHAHA

A perfect addition to my desk at work. 😉 I love it when I interview people in there for stories I write for the newspaper I work for and they wonder at what is my office/John Deere toy museum/Chicago Bears memorabilia/man cave.

Nikki Haley gets told again to stick it. This is epic.

Haley Voters for Harris PAC has told Haley to have several seats.

“We have formally responded to @NikkiHaley's cease and desist letter.

We have deep respect for Ambassador Haley's patriotism and sacrifices.

We also believe that @KamalaHarris will be better for the country than Trump.”

Fucking vote is absolutely correct.

I regret to inform those who know Jagger he is no longer with us. The decision was made today to put him to sleep because of a cancer diagnosis that gave him, at the most, maybe a couple weeks. It wasn’t an easy decision at all and my heart is breaking. Needless to say, the date 23 July, the last time in 2006 I heard my oldest son say “I love you dad” about a week before he was KIA in Iraq, now means that much more to me.

They get me through. Along with plenty of music.

Why is that?

This is not a bandage a doctor would apply, it is a bandage someone backstage at a community theater in Little Rock would apply. - Mrs. Betty Bowers, America’s Best Christian

tRumpanzees are like “Hey, J.D. Vance is a veteran!” like that makes a person immune from being an asshole. And I say that AS a veteran. I was in the military for 21 1/2 years. There’s definitely assholes there.

“PolitiFact has fact-checked Sen. J.D. Vance, R-Ohio, 10 times since 2018. Of his claims we have checked, 70% have landed on our rating scale’s bottom half: Mostly False, False or Pants on Fire!

“What’s with you guys? C’mon, man.” - Joe Biden to Lester Holt.

@rdgit I don’t believe they aren’t fighting for democracy but trying to throw a wrench into everything this close to what is more than likely gonna be THE presidential election of all presidential elections is not a good idea, either. As I’ve contended all along, Biden was never my first choice and all this … hand wringing and panicking about Biden’s age and cognitive abilities so many Dems are doing now is just not good. Not at this stage. All that said, whatever the case, I’m voting blue.

What he said.

As people hem and haw about Joe Biden, there’s a huge threat to EVERYONE and EVERYTHING looming in the wings.
