Today’s Quote:

Federalism is the best curb on democracy. [It] assigns limited powers to the central government. Thereby all power is limited. It excludes absolute power of the majority.

TACO Trump has gone viral. To late to stop it.

It’s already been set to music in a Village People parody.

Good morning. Coffee, of course. I have not sorted out what to have for First Breakfast yet.

Trump’s raging at The Federalist Soc. Turning on each other.

Good morning. Coffee. Hot.

TACO = Trump Always Chickens Out. This is the nickname the big bankers have given Trump on tariffs. TACO.

I read that car manufacturers are considering omitting at least AM radios from their cars. Enshitificastion. I’ll make this simple: no radio, no sale.

“Maybe you’ve seen me on Facebook…”

That was a line from a door to door saleswoman today. She was collage age, shiny and smiling.

Anyway, that was the first time somebody used their presence on social media as part of their in-person sales pitch. It struck me as odd because I’m old.

Good morning. It’s supposed to rain here today, but I have coffee so everything is good.

Trump is a fink!

Good morning. First coffee cannot be beat.

Notice how there is almost no news about Luigi? Partly to make sure publicity does not ruin his trial. But partly because the corporate controlled media is afraid he will become a folk hero.

Directory: 1 submission (yea) and 1 URL from reserves.

Trump is upset because Putin is not doing what Trump wants him to do, just like he gets upset when the judges don’t do what he wants. There is a pattern here.

What Trump doesn’t understand is Putin has his Big Plan for Total World Domination whereas Trump only cares about himself not the USA.

May 2025

Good morning. Coffee done and I’m having an inner debate with myself over having more coffee or switch to tea. First World problems.

Trump seems to be getting a clue about Putin. Trump’s a real slow learner.

Directory side: 2 interesting (to me) websites added from the reserves.

Good morning. New bag of French dark roast coffee. This from Jewel Signature, their house brand. It’s good.

It’s relatively quiet in Washington. Too quiet. Trump is probably on the golf course. Still they are up to no good.

More and more extreme right wing stuff is invading my XTwitter timeline. It can’t be from my subscriptions or likes or retweets. I think: 1. the algo has been adjusted, 2. it’s all that’s left, the more reasoned voices I follow have left and there is nothing left.

Good morning. Coffee done. Starting a different brand tomorrow.

MAGA vs MAHA vs Trump vs DOGE vs GOP vs Cabinet Morlocks vs Big Business all crashing into each other like bumper cars in the Walmart parking lot. Popcorn time.

“Book” is spelled the same in the UK and US.

Everyone is babbling about Biden’s cognitive decline. Even if it was worse than we knew, Biden and his advisors still kept the ship off the rocks, the economy working, the US was respected and things generally working. No DOGE, no chaos, no fear, no protection rackets, no tariffs and no weirdos.

There does come a time when elderly lawmakers should stand aside and let a new generation take their place. The problem is elected Democrats all think they are indispensable.
