I’m really trying to wrap my head around all this; it is so sad, terrifying, and hard.

Years ago a coworker and I were talking about our future pensions, as we worked at the post office and everything is supposed to be so secure. Everyone said we were nuts when we said we didn’t trust that our pensions were necessarily that secure. What if a bunch of lunatics take over the government? They all thought that idea was crazy too.

Nothing has happened so far, except for cutting the COL increase. But they have taken our insurance out of the federal pool, and MAGA wants to privatize the post office.

So now Michelle and I wonder if our fears will come true. No loyalty, no pension. Or maybe we don’t deserve any kind of pension or health care at all.

It doesn’t sound so crazy any more.

You need pensioners to be out in the fields picking vegetable's once you've deported all the migrants so I would expect you wont see ####, it's a feature not a bug

Unfortunately, I think he does get the award. He wouldn't be the first person of questionable character to win it and there still seems to be a lot of people trying to placate him. He'll probably do something completely unhinged if he doesn't get it.

Whatever you say Neville Chamberlain...

Trump loses in court today over National Guard in Chicago. Over under on hours until he activates the Insurrection Act?

[Coach]

When has "losing in court" mattered?

He'd be in jail if that mattered.

It's always fun watching Trump have one of his childish meltdowns every time he loses in court. Unfortunately it doesn't matter what the lower courts say. This will no doubt get kicked up to the Supreme Court who will of course rule that he can do whatever the f*** he wants with zero consequences.

Sorry, Frump, no Nobel for you this time.
