Every day the news is nothing more than a collection of lies. “Oh, he said this but before he said this, then contradicted what he said before.” We are living awash in lies and all the press seems able to do is mirror the lies. I just grew up thinking it was different - better - than this.

Old trombone player, staunch Pastafarian, Baltimore native living in the rural red ❤️ of blue 💙 Minnesota. Just me & Tosh exploring, contemplating, standing firm in our resistance to tyranny and commitment to justice. 🖕TYRANTS🖕TRAITORS🖕ICE🖕
#TerrierTuesday #DogsOfBlueSky #Helper Tosh is incredibly helpful. Every day she helps keep me from becoming a stationary object by insisting I get out of bed. But especially in the hot summertime, she helps by tirelessly keeping the bug & fly population under control.
He’s a Senator - “servant of the people.” There’s rules & laws. There’s a process. Can we get a court order to prove he’s still above ground for chrissake?
Intentionally concealing the death of a U.S. senator to manipulate legislative business or the succession process could expose those involved to serious federal criminal charges. No one gets to hide a death for political gain.
I saw this today on CBS Sunday Morning (yeah, CBS sucks and I mostly avoid it … but it’s Sunday morning). It is a solid gold perspective on aging (I’m a year older than Ted) presented in a fun way. This is how I try to live…especially #4: evolution is the key to existence. youtu.be/CpE-Efz0SLk?...

I’ve been thinking about the way cartoonists always caricature Felon47 with the yellow comb-over. I think it’s time to start depicting him as he really is … bald with that ridiculous vain attempt to hide it … maybe cue-ball bald with a few feathery yellow strings across.
Every time I see this it makes me happy, so I’m sharing it in case it makes you happy too.
#TerrierTuesday #Gotcha #DogsOfBlueSky Almost 4 years ago we drove 130 miles to pick out and pick up Tosh. Puppies are terribly cute … Airedale puppies are off the charts. These pics were taken at the lakeside home where she was born. A beautiful day. (I have included a pic of her parents.)
America is losing so much, so quickly. We must have really been tired of winning to put the losers in charge.
Just like the “assassination” attempts. The queen of vindictiveness (that’s Trump) would be parading pictures of the dead assassin and praising HIS Secret Service … and relentlessly investigating their histories to find an ANTIFA connection. Instead, nothing’s said and we barely know their names. 🤔
You notice that the criminal-in-charge who sues everyone for everything is drop dead quiet about this. Says a lot.
#TerrierTuesday #TongueOutTuesday It’s another beautiful day in the state of Minnesota. Tosh sends greetings to all her fellow #DogsOfBluesky.
#TerrierTuesday Cleaning out the basement, found an old post card I hung onto for some 30 years. This was before we even had a dog … just always loved Airedale’s.
This popped up in my iTunes shuffle today … reminded me of the timelessness of oppression and hypocrisy. Great parody on Dylan with ideas from 20+ years ago that still resonate today. From Dan Bern … “Talkin’ Al Kida Blues” artweb.org/Music/Talkin...

This Aussie is spot on, it will take years or decades to get rid of capitalism from the government. It’s not just Trump, it’s everything behind him, oligarchs, money, corruption, corporations etc. How can we fix this?
#TerrierTuesday #DogsOfBluesky Today we have Tosh demonstrating extreme patience (a rare attribute in Airedale’s) while I retrieve the ball she abandoned in the hockey rink we use as a play area.
We know what democracy is and how it works. We know what Kleptocracy is and how it works. Fools are being led around by their grudges to ignore who they are and how they got here. I’m all in on the Constitution … who’s with me?
Never forget the liars who told you and told you that Democratic Socialism would never work. The people that brought you Trump’s pedocracy did everything they could to stop Mamdani.
To my brother Roy and friend Dale. I tried to tell you, it’s not about politics. I would never allow a schism over something as petty as politics. It’s about you … your ethics, your morals, and your willingness to support a criminal fascist regime. You’re so deeply offended … I’m just very very sad.
#TerrierTuesday #DogsOfBluesky 7 week old Airedale puppies.
You wanna know what’s wrong with America today? HINT: It’s not this woman or her choices.
I literally grew up on CBS … trusting Edward R. Murrow & Walter Cronkite … Elvis making his first national TV appearance on Tommy & Jimmy Dorsey’s show, “Stage Show” … all on the little Philco black & white TV. Tonight, CBS will get its last peek from my eyeballs 👀. When Colbert’s gone, so am I.

Corruption in the world is a given. The story of America’s decay will be the story of those who supported (and, astonishingly, still support) him. Either there will be a full force crime & reconciliation effort … or we are done as a society.
I love this interview. Where is Barbara Walter’s when you need her?
Dear Media - all media at all levels: You need to take a stand on truth. The entire news cycle consists of reporting what a liar says, and then reacting with astonishment that it’s inconsistent with previous statements. Stop reporting what the chronic liar says and just report the event.
On the tarmac, Trump claims he’s in “no hurry” to make a deal with Iran. That’s odd, because he keeps telling us we’re supposedly minutes or hours away from blowing up Iran if they don’t make a deal, while also insisting negotiations are going great. 🤷🏽♂️
#DogsOfBluesky Well, it’s #TerrierTuesday so I have to post something. Problem is, between me being under the weather and being basically lazy, there’s not much to draw from. I’m afraid for this week, this pretty much represents the height of our activity.
