letting my know my insurance will likely increase from$194 a month to $950. That is over 1/3 of my income. I get tax credits since I live close to poverty level in CA. I can't afford to live. I hope I die before Jan. 1, 2026 or else I will die since I can't afford it. Actually I HATE living in th US so dying would be a step up than living in Hell on Earth under tRump. I have a feeling a lot of people will be dying after that date. I'd rather be with my doggie and my dad that endure any more of this suffering. Any place other than Earth looks pretty good to me. Any place is Disneyland compared to this shit planet ruled by greedy, testosterone poisoned beasts acting like they care about life when we know they only care about getting more $$$$, becoming more powerful, killing innocent people, animals and plants and making women suffer for thousands and thousands of years is not any place I want to be. I am not a masochist, I am a realist and an atheist.

This administration is clearly working for themselves instead of the American people!

They are beyond being mere sadists. They are at a whole level of evil that is right up there with Hitler and his pals. I really can see no difference what so ever.

I could not agree with you more. It boggles the mind what history will make of this horrific period in our history, assuming that we still have a future.

Almost every post I write I have to fight the urge to add one of these "classic smiles"...

I watched Hitchcock's film Lifeboat last week and tRump was in my head the whole time. I want to drown him myself but that would just add more pollution to our already tainted waters on Earth. Maybe a landfill would be a good idea, or next to Ivana. Where's Jimmy Hoffa?
