Love my family. Love my pets. Don't love Donald. November 2016 it appears I became an activist. Who knew? #Resist. Rise up for ourselves, and those who cannot.

The French President Just Reminded The World What Class Looks Like
Donald Trump stood in front of a camera and did what Donald Trump does. He mocked Emmanuel Macron’s wife. He put on a fake French accent. He told the world that Brigitte Macron “treats him extremely badly” and that the French president was “still recovering from a right hook to the jaw.”
It was the geopolitical equivalent of a man shouting at clouds.
Macron was in South Korea when someone asked him about it. He paused. He considered the question with the expression of a man who has just been informed that a golden retriever has urinated on his Bentley.
Then he said this:
“Neither elegant nor up to standard.”
Seven words. That was it. Seven words delivered with the quiet, devastating calm of someone who genuinely does not need to raise their voice because the staff will handle it.
It was the verbal equivalent of a single raised eyebrow from a man in a perfectly fitted suit, looking down at someone who has just spilled red wine on the carpet at Versailles.
Consider the man on the other end of that eyebrow. A man who wears a red baseball cap to diplomatic meetings and a white one to funerals. A man who arrives at the most solemn occasions in the world looking like he has just wandered in from a golf buggy. A man whose morning routine apparently involves industrial quantities of spray tan applied to a face that has, at various medical estimations, the cardiovascular profile of a blocked Manhattan sewer. A man whose idea of a state dinner is a quarter pounder eaten alone in a motorcade.
This is the man who decided to lecture the world about Emmanuel Macron’s marriage.
Trump called NATO a “paper tiger.” He mocked a head of state’s wife. He uploaded the whole embarrassing performance to the White House YouTube channel, briefly, before someone in the building apparently remembered that diplomacy exists and pulled the plug.
Macron’s response landed like a white glove placed gently on a table. Not thrown. Placed.
“Neither elegant nor up to standard.”
In French diplomatic circles, that sentence is a declaration of war. In English, it translates roughly to: I have noticed your behavior, and I find it beneath comment, which is why I am commenting on it once, quietly, before returning to matters of actual importance.
There is a man in this story who has spent eighty years on this earth and still cannot find a suit that fits, a tie that stops at his belt, or a shade of foundation that occurs anywhere in nature.
And there is a man who responded to being publicly humiliated by the most powerful person on earth with seven words and a expression that could freeze the Seine.
Macron has something Trump has spent his entire life trying to purchase and never quite managed.
Class.

I’ve been in Congress through divided governments, bitter fights, and historic crises. I’ve never seen anything like the last 24 hours.
Republican House Speaker Mike Johnson killed Republican Senate Majority Leader John Thune’s bipartisan deal to fund the TSA, Coast Guard, and FEMA.
It was a deal that had the support of Senate Republicans and Democrats alike, 100-0!
Why?
Because Johnson places his own political survival and fealty to Trump over all else, including long waits at airports or anything else.
We could have passed it in the House easily if only Johnson had allowed the vote to proceed. But instead he blew up the whole thing.
Where this goes next is anyone’s guess, but what’s very clear is that Johnson is the worst and most subservient speaker in modern American history.

This is MMA fighter Sean McInnes. When Anne Marie Boyle asked him to leave her alone, he punched her in the face so hard that he broke her cheekbone and her eye socket, knocked her unconscious, and left her with a life-altering brain injury.
He was given less than two years behind bars.
It would be a real shame if this post was widely circulated and impacted his career in a negative way.

@SenFettermanPA Seriously. Pennsylvanian here. What the hell is wrong with you? ICE is out of control. When an agency charged with upholding our laws becomes abusive, they need to be questioned, and action needs to be taken.

The Washington Post is reporting, after Trump forcibly installed himself as Kennedy Center Chair, the Center has been in financial freefall — leading to major cancellations, departures, the drying up of donations, and a 'breathtaking drop in revenue.'
Since nonprofit organizations are designed to rely on philanthropic and institutional support, loyal Kennedy Center donors are refusing to do business the fascistic dipshit and his collective of incompetent crackpot Nazis.
It only took Trump a month to the decimate the Kennedy Center for performing arts. Even for the loathsome piece of shit, this is impressive.
