Robo-calls..

I am getting a shit-ton of robocalls - mostly about Social Security - these days. 20 per day divided between my cell and landline. Am I the only one? I put our numbers on the National Do Not Call registry, but it hasn't slowed.
Am I being targeted for outspoken FB posts?

Apple verification code....

I've posted this before...changed my Apple ID password....reported to my provider....and still getting robo-calls from Apple giving me a code.

"Anybody know why I would get a robo call from Apple - an actual Apple # - with a verification code number at 6:30 in the morning?
I had not made any access request, of course.
Is somebody probing my Apple account?
Any ideas?

My Veterans Day......

I slept in.... got coffee....turned on CNN....trump was on the screen "honoring" veterans at Arlington...turned off the TV...went back to bed.
I went thru a war....I've suffered enough.

NOW is the time for the US to intervene in the Caribbean...

Overwhelming interventions....
of food, medical aid, help in rebuilding.....
in Jamaica and other places clobbered by the hurricane.
Wait...those are dark-skinned people.
Never mind.
That's not the US way...

Is there..somewhere... a comprehensive list of trump outrages?

Having lunch with a maybe-trumper relative and would like a short, snappy list of undeniable outrages.
Of course I've followed them...who at DU hasn't?...but every time I start a list, I leave out some of the worst.
Does anybody have such a list, or can direct me to one?

2026 & 2028 elections... talk me down...

The Repubs are acting like they don't care that a sizable majority of the voters are unhappy with their policies and obstructionism.
Do they believe they won't have to face the voters in 2026 & 2028?
I am not normally a conspiracy person, but I worry that trump will send troops to major cities in blue states and do things like seizing ballot boxes because of "voter fraud". And more.

As I say.. talk me down.

Real or AI or photoshopped...?
