When you kill a healthcare ceo, it’s terrorism. When someone shoots your kid in elementary school, it’s thoughts and prayers for like a week and then they move on. It truly shows the fact that terrorism is whatever the American government wants it to mean.

Retail Therapy

We all grieve in our own ways. I’m obviously spending money to try and fill the Sammy-sized hole left in my heart. I won’t have that luxury in a month, but I have it now, and I’m not going to apologize to anyone for it.

The other night as I was getting ready for bed, I flashed on how—since we’d gotten a higher bed frame and mattress a few years ago—I recently starting having to lift him up onto the bed for the night. He could almost always get down on his own (although he wasn’t one to refuse help in that area either), but for the last couple years he just didn’t have the strength to jump up any more. I flashed on him there standing on his hind legs, front paws outstretched, leaning against the side of the mattress waiting for me to help him up and I just broke down and lost it…

At least I recognize and acknowledge what I’m doing.

Why Is It…

… that when someone asks, “Who got you smiling,” I always say, “The voices in my head just cracked a joke. Leave us alone.”

… that after this past year I wanna give myself a big hug because I’m still standing.

… that Family Dollar always seems to have just one cashier. Where’s the rest of the family?

… that winter doesn’t bother me; I also become cold and dark after 4PM.

… that one of the weirdest things about being an adult is having a favorite stove top burner; no one ever talks about it but y’all know it’s true and y’all have one.

… that it’s always, “How was work?” and never, “Quit and I’ll support you.”

… that I still miss that part of 2020 when it was illegal for anyone to come near me.

…that when I yell at birds in the street to move so they don’t get run over is kind of how I see the universe watching me live my life.

… that I know I would not waste away in Margaritaville; in fact, I would thrive!

A Trump Supporter And His Money Are Soon Parted

From Jeff Tiedrich:

Step Right Up, Rubes

It’s a wise old saying: a trump supporter and their money are soon parted.

Need proof? Here’s an ad that’s been running on the Fox Business channel. For only $19.95, you can get a rectangle of paper with a value of zero. Look — it’s got Dear Leader’s vacuous smirking face and chickenscratch signature on it! Shut up and take my money!

Sometimes I wish I had no morals or ethics, because I would be so good at grifting these dumb-asses. just slap Donny’s big dumb pumpkin face onto any cheap-ass Chinese-made trinket and back up the Brinks truck, boy-o.

You know what’s going to happen, don’t you? Some dimwitted cultist is going to walk into their local 7-11 and try to use this funny money to pay for his slurpee.

It’s not like it hasn’t happened before.

Turns out, Trump Bucks aren’t worth the paper they’re printed on. Just ask John Amann of Houston who said he bought $2,200 worth of the phony currency and other Trump monetary items over the past year only to discover they were worthless when he tried to cash them in at his local bank.

MAGA, can we chat? listen up, stupids. If you’re shelling out $19.95 for a phony two-dollar bill, or $499.95 for Dear Leader’s spray-painted sneakers — or if you spent god-knows-how-much on stickers, and this is what your car looks like …

I don’t want to hear one fucking word out of you about the price of eggs.
