How about this on a T-shirt or bumper sticker:

DEFUND THE RICH

About the billionaire tax.

Just think, there several dozens of people who are worth multiple billions of dollars, that are terrified that a single digit percentage of their wealth may be taken away from them to help the less fortunate among us. What kind of a sick bastard to you have to be to think like that? These people are criminally insane.

Has this happened to anyone here?

My grandson heard his four-year-old daughter talking to someone in the kitchen but there's no one else in the house.

He walks in and finds her having a very involved conversation with "Alexa". I mean as though it was a real person. On one hand, perfectly harmless, on the other hand kind of creepy.

Here's what I think about the nine republicans that voted with

the Democrats today.

They are likely the only ones who are not complicit in any way with what happened on January 6th. They are the only ones Bannon can't incriminate with what he knows and what he can document.

Ice Cream.

So we went to the food bank today, and you don't get to pick and choose. You pop your trunk open amd drive through a series of stations where volunteers just load your car. You are not allowed to get out of the car. Then you drive home and see what you got. There were two half gallons of Half and Half. What can you do with two half gallons of Half and Half? I don't even drink milk and my wife only drinks zero fat milk. The expiration date was just a few days from now.

We don't really need the food bank, we're not rich but we're doing okay. We go there because we live in a Senior mobile home park and many of out neighbors don't drive so we re-distribute most of what we bring home to those neighbors who need it. But you can't even give away Half and Half. So we hit on the idea of making Ice Cream. We have an Ice Cream maker we have not used in years. Tonight we made Coffee Ice Cream. It's fantastic. We also got some Pears, so tomorrow we will make Pear Ice Cream. And so on until the Half and half is all gone.

I'll bet we can give Ice Cream away.

You know what will be fun?

If Trump runs in 2024 and doesn't get the nomination, Watch him attack the nominee that beat him like he has never attacked anyone before. It will be brutal, bloody and hilarious all at the same time.

It occurs to me

that if a January 6th moment comes up in 2025, we can take a great deal of comfort that the person holding all the cards in the Senate will be Kamala Harris.

Giants leading 11-1 in the bottom of the 7th.

San Diego has pulled Machado and Tatis from the game. Their season is over, barring a miracle. Giants will take the division, leading the Dodgers by one game. And to think 10 years ago I was one of those guys who thought Baseball was boring because with 162 games, any one game is not that important. Turns out they all are.

It's gonna be party time in San Francisco tonight. If I was a bartender there I would be stocking the place well right now.

Message for Senator Manchin on his yacht.

It was pertty bad optics when you stood on the upper deck of your yacht and talked down to the peasants in their kayaks. It would have been much better if you had taken the trouble to come down to the lower deck or just gone over to your bar and poured yourself a stiff one and ignored the whole situation.
