That “Tango” drink sounds like a “Screwdriver” which was my teenage mixed drink of choice back in the 1980s. 🍹

It's Debbie Harry's birthday today. She is 79. She continues to be my everything and the reason I still keep up with bleaching my hair after more than thirty years

I personally think her role as VP has been largely been in the shadows. Biden should not step down, but Harris’s role should be highlighted more in the lead-up to November 2024.

“Some folks need killing! It’s time for somebody to say it. It’s not a matter of vengeance. It’s not a matter of being mean or spiteful. It’s a matter of necessity!” This has moved beyond, “Proud Boys… Stand back and stand by…” 😔

The basic fight here is against two very old men. It’s as simple as that. In the case of Joe Biden, I trust Kamala Harris can fill those gaps. As for sleepy Donnie Drumpf? Who the hell is his running mate? Will they be anything other than a toady and lackey? Two bad choices. But only one better. 👍

Sure… Donnie Drumpf can handle nuclear codes at 2:30am on a Tuesday as well. 🥱 Drumpf dude was _actually sleeping_ during his own trial against Stormy Daniels and everyone is like, “But Biden is weak!” Give me at effing break. Sleepy Joe Biden > Sleepy Donnie Drumpf

My parents survived the Holocaust. I grew up with a lot of darkness thanks to that and older siblings who were raised in post World War II Poland and — for a lack of a better term — are supremely fucked up. I’ve learned through life that one must never let pessimism consume you. Stay positive. 👍

And to this garbage cover on the Economist I state: Please learn about Franklin D. Roosevelt and how he not only lead a nation during a war against Nazi fascism (World War II) but he also forced New Deal into existence. 🧐 He did _a lot_ of great things while disabled. 🇺🇸 The Economist is trash. 🗑️

Watch old Fleischer Studios cartoons of Popeye and it’s utterly amazing that every problem in those cartoons can be solved by: 🥬 Popeye finding a can of spinach and eating it. 🥊 Popeye then beating the crap out of something or someone; usually Bluto. Consistent and predicable yet entertaining.

The very first question Noa Argamani asked after being rescued was, “Is my mother still alive?” 😔 It’s all sadly poetic; at least they were able to be reunited. 💔

I, for one, would like a bare chested President Biden to pull a truck or a train car a few feet using only his teeth! 🚂🧐 Kamala Harris can stand by clapping and encouraging the crowd to cheer him on. 👏

An article from June 2009. Facts seem pertinent in 2024: “Palestinian Hamas members are helping the Iranian authorities crush street protests in support of reformist presidential candidate Mir Hossein Mousavi, two protesters told this reporter on the streets of the Iranian capital on Tuesday.”😔

I do too. But the these co-dependent weasels are all over these rallies. It’s like some antisemitic stone soup. 😔 WOL Leadership (Nerdeen Kiswani and Abdullah Akl) holds the rallies, invites “all voices” and then turn a blind eye where an Hezbollah flag or some blatantly antisemitic stuff happens.

The other guy is Anas Saleh. “Anas Saleh, 24, of Staten Island, turned himself in with his attorney at around 9.30 a.m. after the NYPD released a wanted poster last week with his face splashed across it in the wake of the hate-filled incident at Manhattan’s Union Square station.”

Yeah. They were at a rally during the WOL Palestine protest at Union Square headed to Wall Street. Both of them ID’ed. Only one spoke to the press. This is the guy who talked to the press: Christopher Khamis Victor Husary.

👉 “While a group may not explicitly state support of a terrorist organization, silence about the proclivities of its activists speaks loudly. If an organization like WOL fails to repudiate repeated instances of Hamas and terrorism support at its events, then it is tacitly approving the practice.”

The Court ruling today is terrible but expected. I will just gently remind everyone that the election hasn’t happened yet. We shouldn’t assume the worst outcome as a foregone conclusion. That only encourages more apathy than many are already feeling.
