Bob Mackie made so many legendary designs, but for me, this one was his masterpiece. Seemingly so simple, yet it has everything, light, movement, the illusion of seeing more than you really do… And I like Mitzi’s performance too. youtu.be/Bs-1HZrvg8s?...

If only there were a law that said: "Whoever makes or offers to make an expenditure to any person, either to vote or withhold his vote, or to vote for or against any candidate Shall be fined under this title or imprisoned" We could call it 18 U.S. Code § 597 - Expenditures to influence voting
The President of the United States is a seriously stupid motherfucker.
👀 MUST WATCH: This video is so well done — and absolutely hilarious! 🤣🤣

Any sweeping systemic change you want to make in the United States has to begin with adding seats to the Supreme Court in 2029. No major reform bill will survive the current court. No civil rights law, no anti-corruption law, no wealth tax, nothing.
Here we are under Trump 2.0, angry, stressed, depressed, poorer, and tired. It's not fun. It's not great. He's not a leader, he's a criminal and a traitor and he shouldn't be anywhere near the White House. He has made literally everything worse since he was sworn in.
Donald Trump really doesn't favor any political party. He's a vicious, sadistic, greedy, flimflam conman, grifter, liar. He blows by the wind to benefit himself. He's lacking a moral compass, and has no conscience. His death will be celebrated, and can't come soon enough. 🙏
After my long-term therapist retired, I set up an appt with a new guy. Sent him my insurance card, which has my husband’s name on it; I’m the “spouse” on the plan. So, coming out to new therapist completed. Of course he’ll know all about it in the first 5 minutes, but still, it’s a necessary step.

Let’s talk about Medicare for All. What would it mean for the individual American? ⬇ The day you’re born you get a card that gives you health insurance with no premium, co-pay, or deductible. Doesn’t matter if you get a job, lose a job, turn 26 or 65, get married or divorced — it's there for you.
Jesus himself called these people hypocrites. But we can just add this to the very long list of Jesus’ teachings that they reject.
Remember when they sold us the slogan, "Go paperless, save trees, save the planet"? Now we've gone digital, and it's consuming enormous amounts of water, destroying ecosystems, harming bees, and contributing to environmental damage on a scale paper never did.
Trump has made the template for corruption in office. We have to amend the constitution. I’m not sure what the answer is, but our government, the way it functions (or doesn’t function) now, can’t remain. We need drastic changes.
From this point on, the "ballroom/bunker" shall be referred to as THE CHICKEN COOP . Thank you for your attention.

Not a single adversary of America wants Trump dead. He’s doing all their work for them.
A new study shows that Medicare for All would save over 114,000 lives and over $1 trillion every year. The new research out of Yale shows that reductions in administrative overhead, lower pharmaceutical prices, less fraudulent billing, and fewer emergency care trips would lead to huge savings. /1

"Do not tell me we cannot afford Medicare for All," the senator said. "What we cannot afford is a broken healthcare system based on greed."

Someone in #TheShards casting office must have had a laugh. Casting Richard Gere’s son, Homer Gere, and Cindy Crawford’s daughter, Kaia Gerber, as two of the leads. What do they talk about between takes? “When my mom was married to your dad…”
The most "macho" president ever now wears a wig, a girdle, makeup, spray tan, lifts and an adult diaper. Behold, the MAGA strong man!
