Have you ever had any of your personal spaces being rummaged/searched through? How did you feel about it (emotionally)?
  • House was broken into while I was at work. They’d gone through the house and messed it up a bit. But when I got to the bedroom, they’d flipped the mattress and taken the pillow cases off. Couldn’t sleep in that bed for maybe six months. Slept on the couch. Even had my bow next to me too for a while.

    Cop who showed up told me to get a sawed off shotgun and/or a big dog. Ended up moving 8 months later bc I never felt safe again.

    Sorry about the car. That happened to me too, long time ago. We were walking out from work at night on Black Friday and saw them in my car. I caught and tackled one of them and beat the shit out of him. Other 2 the cops got.

  • Trump’s transition is happening over private emails
  • Making sure there’s no traceable evidence of any of the nightmares they’re cooking up. But that’ll never happen anyway, fucker’s going to get away with it all. But I’m sure Vlad’s guys hooked him up nicely, perhaps as a welcome back gesture.

  • A Manifesto Against For-Profit Health Insurance Companies — by Michael Moore
  • Everyone should read the full post, it’s very well written.

    The anger is 1000% justified. It is long overdue for the media to cover it. It is not new. It has been boiling. And I’m not going to tamp it down or ask people to shut up. I want to pour gasoline on that anger.

    Because this anger is not about the killing of a CEO. If everyone who was angry was ready to kill the CEOs, the CEOs would already be dead. That is not what this reaction is about. It is about the mass death and misery — the physical pain, the mental abuse, the medical debt, the bankruptcies in the face of denied claims and denied care and bottomless deductibles on top of ballooning premiums — that this “health care” industry has levied against the American people for decades. With no one standing in their way! Just a government — two broken parties — enabling this INDUSTRY’s theft and, yes, murder.

    Moore gets this bc unlike DC and its ilk, he’s been one of “us”. I hope he continues to get people fired up about this.

    But the politicians and the pundits and the headlines aren’t telling you that. Just like they aren’t telling you the truth about this crime. They’re so busy telling you not to riot and not to participate in an uprising against their advertisers and campaign funders that they won’t tell you what this really is — a RICH ON RICH crime! Luigi, a young rich man with a couple of Ivy League degrees, scion of a family that owns 2 of the biggest country clubs in Maryland and who is in line to inherit a chain of nursing homes — in other words, scion of a family that’s enriched themselves off a broken healthcare system by bilking retirees and their families in their end-of-days — this young, rich man with an ax to grind against another multi-millionaire, a CEO facing a Justice Department anti-trust investigation, as well as accusations of bilking tax payers in Medicaid/Medicare schemes and of participating in illegal insider trading.

    Hadn’t thought of the “rich on rich” angle but he’s right. Too bad it won’t be catching 🦠

    Thanks very much for the post/link!

  • Trump eyes privatizing United States Postal Service during second term

  • Trump picks Pam Bondi for next attorney general
  • Pam Bondi Wikipedia

    Lobbies for the Qataris, has worked for Scientology, and so many other interesting tidbits in there. Might this be a more damaging appointment? Gaetz would have been reckless and certainly dangerous, but she’s someone who knows the system well and has ties to America First Policy Institute.

    And then there’s this:

    In 2013, Bondi persuaded Governor Rick Scott to postpone a scheduled execution because it conflicted with a fundraising event. After questions were raised in the media, Bondi apologized for moving the execution date.
