News From The Fediverse: A new Fediverse hosting service has started called GoFedi. They host Mastodon and Friendica instances entirely in Canada to escape and be immune from US law, US Big Tech and tacitly beyond the reach of Trump and Trump gov’t.
Good morning. Coffee is done. It was good.
What are the odds that Trump’s Tacky Trump Ballroom ™ will contain a gilt McDonald’s franchise tucked in a corner?
Who is going to use this ballroom, most foreign dignitaries can’t stand Trump or Vance or have been banned?
Good morning. Coffee done and I miss it already.
Trump has a thing about crowd size, nobody shows at his rallies but the pictures of millions at No Kings protests drives him crazy.
Part of White House being torn down for Tacky Trump Ball Room ™.
No sign of Epstein Files.
Ribbet.
Good morning. Coffee while reading headlines.
Supreme Court out of money due to gov’t shutdown. Raiding coffee fund in the break room.
JD Vance’s motorcade hit by artillery shrapnel but they missed him.
Trump flip-flops on Ukraine support.
Trump’s America First MAGA base support eroding.
One of my favorite No Kings signs:
JD Vance ate my cat.
Good morning. Coffee done. It’s raining. Scrolling through No Kings demo pics. Massive turnout. Very peaceful.
Reports are inflatable frog costumes are sold out until Nov.
Pink hippos might still be available.
Fashion Reminder: Inflatable costumes are not slimming, if that matters.
Wow! I have just seen aerial views of the No Kings crowds in Philadelphia, Boston and New York City and they are huge.
No Kings TV is worth checking out. It has been expanded to include Portland plus more features.
China is not going to buy our soybeans this year. Maybe not ever. Eventually, Trump will start saying the public (lesser mortals) should start eating more soybean based foods. He might make RFK, Jr. say it to. Won’t work, nobody shops the tofu isle.
Farmers, don’t plant soybeans in 2026.
Good morning. Coffee done, and I might just have another. Living the life! Inner breakfast debate right now.
Everyone has a camera these days. That’s paying off when FED’s lie about why they arrested someone, the camera footage evidence damns their case in court.
No Kings.
The rest of this post is behind a paywall.
Chuckie Schumer, remember him? I thought not. We should put his picture on milk cartons.
Trump says we’re at war with: South American narco-drug gangs, Antifa (which may or may not exist), anyone who disagrees w/ him, Wash. DC, Portland, Chicago.
Trump might go to war over: Canada, Panama Canal, Greenland, Puerto Rico (which is already part of the US but Trump doesn’t know that).
Wow Meijer on Instacart seems to have no hot dogs in stock. No Oscar Meyer products. No bologna. No packaged lunch meat. That’s pretty messed up and makes it hard to shop there. Something is broken. I think I’ll try and complete my order in the morning.
It will be nice, someday, when we no longer have to have No Kings demonstrations and we can go back to normal stuff like Naked Gardening Day.
No Kings.
Fish are bad pets. You can’t watch TV with them, they make your lap wet, they keep flopping about off your lap onto the floor where the cat pounces on them, they tend not to live very long.
An octopus is a slightly better pet except they hog the remote.
Good morning. Coffee done and I’m sad about that.
News Update: Still no Epstein files, Gov’t still shut down, Qatar AF base in US, not selling soybeans, news media not signing Pentagon loyalty oath, inflation by Trump tariffs, frogs, uncontrolled gov’t spending, Karoline Leavitt’s lips.
As one farmer put it: Trump needs to spend less time on TicToc and more time on farming.
ICE is freaked out and terrified of these inflatable costumes because they don’t have any idea how to deal with them. All ICE knows is strong arm tactics but a person in a cute squirrel costume just isn’t a threat to ICE and it looks so bad when you get caught on film beating up or teargassing a guy who can barely move in a squirrel or frog costume. ICE just can’t deal with that and that makes them afraid.
Also, in all these reported ICE incidents like, ICE and the ambulance crew, it seems like ICE has no clear chain of command, meaning nobody in a group of ICE officers seems to be clearly in charge. One ICE officer will say you are free to go, while all the rest refuse to let you leave, etc. Nobody is responsible and nobody is accountable. At least that is what it looks like. Frankly it looks like amateur hour just like the face masks and no uniform/sloppy/mismatched uniform stuff. These are no professionals, these are bully boys that just left a sports bar, except they have a badge, immunity and guns.
You know it’s really serious in Portland when they break out the Mr. Potato Head costumes.
Good morning. Coffee done. Debating breakfast with myself. I guess I win either way. :-)
No Kings.
Seems like most of the terrorism in the US is coming from ICE and the Trump Administration. ICE is trying to provoke violence. They are breaking the Peace.
If Trump invokes the Insurrection Act I’m betting he will outlaw costumes at protests. Wearing a harmless frog costume might be considered insurrection.
Trump figures he will never be held accountable for his actions.
Good morning. Drinking coffee (now expensive due to Trump tariffs) while waiting for the Epstein Files to be released.
It will be interesting to see if inflatable costumes become popular this Halloween.
The working title of the song I’m composing is, “Anchovy Paste”.
So MAGA’s are furious that Qatar is being allowed to build a base for their air force in the US. Heck, I’m not a MAGA and I’m furious. Is Trump so isolated from reality that he thought he could get away with this? I mean we already knew Hegseth was a loony, but didn’t anyone in the WH warn Trump?
