I just saw putin giving a lame ass speech on Tiktok

warning viewers of his attack on Ukraine if NATO doesn’t back down.

Unfortunately for putin, there’s a lot of eye rolling going on in response to his lame video.

I don’t know how that guy ever got into office: he has a worse poker face than trump.

Sorry, I don’t have a link to the video.

This is the person the GOP is placing all their bets on...("Least Popular President Ever Polled")

Trump Is Officially the Least Popular President Ever Polled
Gallup’s latest poll shows that the outgoing president was historically unpopular — and historically divisive

President Trump is rewriting the record books on his way out of office.

Just days after becoming the first president to be impeached twice, Trump on Monday became the least popular president Gallup has ever polled. Trump finished his term with an approval rating of 34 percent, Gallup announced, bringing his four-year polling average down to 41 percent, four points lower than any of his predecessors dating back to 1938. He’s also the only president to fail to register an approval rating of at least 50 percent at any point in his tenure.

Trump’s departing 34-percent approval rating — which comes on the heels of his incitement of a deadly insurrection at the Capitol and as the Covid-19 death toll continues to rise — is the lowest mark of his presidency. The only other president whose final approval rating was also his lowest is … *drumroll* … you guessed it: Richard Nixon.

---------------------------

I'm convinced these GOP rats are still backing him, because half if not more of the members of congress and senate GOP have filthy Russian money on their hands—and/or were involved in the insurrection.

It's very sad to see: the niece I watched grow up, I just found out has been diagnosed as bipolar.

Since her birth, we have seen her several times a year for family gatherings. We've given her lots of birthday and Christmas gifts; gone on trips; walks; hikes; hanging out.

It's so sad to see this. We didn't know about it until last year. Her parents didn't tell anyone, and they are also having marriage problems as a result. They are pretty much divorced now.

Our niece has been arrested a few of times in the past few years because of her condition (she's been acting out violently in public), and then she ends up in a psychiatric hospital...completely drugged so she can't even speak.

She doesn't want to take the meds, so the doctor finally cut the prescription in half. I guess some of the patients get depressed on the meds. I was just reading her FaceBook posts, and she's talking about things like running for US President, etc. I can tell she's not well.

The whole thing is shocking and depressing. She's such an innocent person, it's so sad to see this happening.

One of my all time favorites, Louie Anderson, just passed away. Cancer.

He was amazing in the show Baskets.

My nephew joined the marines last year, and will be graduating in a week or so...

I just want to say (and even more so after watching some videos of what the marine training involves), I am so proud of him.
It's an astonishing achievement.

I'm not very eloquent, but...I was just going through my email

and deleted another from the DNC w/o reading—because it's usually a plea for money (which I do give from time to time).

This one was headed something like, "This is Dangerous."

After reading the heading, it sunk in as I hit delete, that our country WAS almost overthrown on January 6.
Living day in /day out with that, I think most of us have become numb to it. Well, I won't speak for you, but I have.

The strangest part of it is that the GOP senators and congresspeople KNOW that what happened on January 6 was an attempt to overthrow the U.S., but they steadfastly deny and lie and cover up. They don't care. They actually would prefer our constitution be destroyed.

So, I think the USA is still hanging by a thread, even though we feel better about Biden being at the helm.
Plus, I think those who were involved in any way, should serve at least 10-20 years—I think that's the only way to stop this. If they want to hang them, you won't hear a peep out of me.

Just had a black out (it didn't last long)...

but I'm glad I had these plugged into the outlet, because I could see my way around immediately.



This has been the third time we've had a blackout at night with these plugged in, and the room was still visible because of these flashlights. You just have to remember to always keep them on and plugged in.

Just an FYI. I'm sure there are other products out there that work just as well or better.

President Biden on the beach - How a U.S. President is meant to be...

(this was probably shared here on DU, but I missed it). If it wasn't shared, here is our President Joe Biden with his pup on the beach.
