The Dire Warning of a True Independent in the Age of Trump - Esquire

“EVER SINCE THE VOTING PUBLIC IN ITS infinite meatheadedness made the former president the current president…”

I’m sure as time progresses, there are gong to many variations of the above statement permeating the accounts and observations of this era.

Well so much for my business idea involving my Japan and Taiwan connections for now. 🤷🏾‍♂️

Must’ve been paw licking good whatever she ate. #caturday

Another floofy #caturday is upon us! 😸

A fluffy cat wearing an orange bandana is resting on a rolled up green towel next to a cardboard cat scratchpost and a cat tower.

So he folded and dropped those tariffs down to 10% huh… except 125% on China huh… Market back up 2000 point instantly though huh

🤔

This doesn’t smell right at all. Someone really close to these decisions gotta be plundering and swashbuckling 🏴‍☠️💸😑

Late #caturday vibes.

Remember, every point in time is as bad as the technology will ever be. 2 years from now, it will be cosplaying as me 😬

Auto-generated description: A diagram shows the percentage of cars sold in America made in the U.S., Canada & Mexico, and other countries for various automotive brands, featuring in order from most to least domestic: Tesla, Ford, Stellantis, Nissan, GM, Hyundai-Kia, and Volkswagen.

🤔 At first glance, seems like these new tarriffs are gonna be more beneficial to one automaker in particular… coincidence?

GA Republicans introduced a bill to give the State Election Board more power, including enforcing hand ballot counts, ruling on voter eligibility appeals, and leaving a voter accuracy group. Critics say it overreaches, while supporters argue it adds accountability. I call it voter suppression.

Well… I’m certainly not gonna tell him he’s doing chairs wrong. Are you? 🐶 🪑

Still think race isnt part of the assault on democracy?

Trump administration removes ban on ‘segregated facilities’ in federal contracts

US army Maj Gen Charles Calvin Rogers received the highest military decoration in the #lUSA, the Medal of honor.

On Nov 1 1968, during the Vietnam War, despite a horrific injury, Rogers rallied his men in defense of their base and led the battalion until a major attack was repulsed

The #Trump regime removed him from the #DoD website

Not only is his page now 404, they changed the URL

The word “medal"in the URL for the bio of this exemplary man was changed to “deimedal”

Happy #caturday for those celebrating.

🚨 Georgia residents: don’t fall for this Peach Pass scammer

A text message claiming an outstanding toll payment is due with a suspicious phone number and link.

Georgia SRTA never sends just a text message to collect unpaid tolls; you’ll get postal mail and emails as well. No one from Philippines would text you; you’d be asked to log in to your account, not click a link.

DON’T FALL FOR IT!

Putting 2 and 2 together, our favorite 🍊 🫏 thinks Canada will become the 51st state because of tarriffs

So that’s where all this ‘Canada will be a state’ 🐂 💩 came from. He can’t keep a single congruent thought in his mind. He just read a cliff’s Note from the Wikipedia page and that’s that. 🤬

“I was just playin’ though… Unless you was gonna do it.” Third grader mind having billionaires are playing games with us, and I am not in the mood to be Player One right now.

A voicemail transcription displays a scam message about overdue back tax filings with two highlighted phone numbers.

Guess I’m gonna have to make a “scam-of-the-day” section in my “shit I don’t like about living in the States” category of the blog.

✔️ calling from Belgium (?) ✔️ goofy ass AI voice. ✔️ I am literally a licensed tax pro. My shit is always on time.

They got the wrong one today! Don’t fall for this!
