As far as bezos, BOYCOTT the bitch.

Boycotts work. Poor elon (Lol) is still trying to recoup as Europeans are still not buying his shit ass cars. Their reason is because of his involvement in politics nonetheless, BOYCOTTING. 👍👍

That's part of the problem. I'll bet even a sizeable enough proportion of people complaining outside the Whole Foods send Jeff money every year so they can be members of (Sc)Amazon Prime. It's rampant.

No doubt Fred. Online ordering became convenient. I won't give bezos a damn cent. My boycott list is long.

Mine, too. I would rather go to more trouble and pay more, so I can try to support local businesses and honest, decent people. I've certainly had my ebay, etc, adventures, too, but if I can avoid it, I do.

Exactly. Check this out, I have an Aldi's here in Dallas. They would always have their bluebell less than$8. Always. Other stores like Kroger, tom thumb, Walmart has it as $10. Rarely they drop the price.

Since I've seen over the years how 'american' companies keep screwing over it's shoppers - I stopped supporting them too. I shop at Aldi, El Rancho, Zam Zam (Mediterranean store) and whatever other means. I have an HEB coming to my area soon. They are here but a little too far. I'm good so far.

Living in Bradenton FL, Publix has Blue Bell at 9.69 and Walmart has it at 8.29 and no place else is close enough to not leave me with a quarter bucket of sweet sweet soup. However, Publix sometimes has it on sale for 6.49! HEAVEN!

Keep in mind that the Publix Corp gave a sizeable donation to Ronnie. I go there when I have to, but I have Aldi and a couple of other places in the Miami area.

I don't know what Blue Bell is. You make it sound like it's some kind of soup.

It costs money and takes trouble to avoid these places, but sometimes, it's very important. Boycotting, as JavaJunkyMonkey says, gets their attention.

At El Rancho it's been as low as $5.98. but because blue bell isn't allowing low pricing - it should be boycotted. That's low of them.

Block the roads now. Too much is at risk to wait! Mobilize Blue state National Guards when threatened. Wait until then. The invasion of one state by another is a call to state Governors to mobilize their National Guards to resist an UNLAWFUL assault. The U.S. military should not accept UNLAWFUL orders. The sooner we get this over with, the better. This confrontation is coming. It is coming! We are stronger now than we will be tomorrow. The confrontation is not a battle or a war. It is a standoff at State borders. One state would be trying to invade another. One is the offender. The other, the defender. We know TACO.

Also, the gerrymander fight is on. There is a new playbook. The old rules have been struck down by the Supreme Court. We need to change the gears here as fast as possible for deadly PREEMPTIVE strikes. Newsom has moved out on this already. Who is next? Hochul. Where are you? NO EXCUSE! Change your state Constitution. Pritzker. What are you doing?

Donnie doesn't just hate Black Women. He's afraid of them. He's afraid of all women or he wouldn't treat them the way he does.

I'm so glad Alligator Alcatraz is being dismantled. No more immigrants have come in and the ones who were there have been bussed out. Not sure where they went though. Even the equipment they had there is being carted away. I love seeing it on the local news. It was nice to hear that DeSantis lost his appeal. He now has 60 days to get rid of this disgusting place.

Alligator Auschwitz. Alcatraz was a place where nothing but the most dangerous of CONVICTED criminals were kept. The fascists gave the place the name of Alligator Alcatraz and have made a fortune selling MERCH. Why why why would ANY decent human call the place Alligator Alcatraz?

ICE is spending over a billion to build a place in the desert. I'm calling that Desert Dachau. We all should, and start now, before we start calling it something similar to Alligator Alcatraz.

It is public information that tRUMP is a asset to Russia, you can see it in his every reaction to Putin's aggression throughout attacks against Ukraine. Putin will never stop his war effort and tRUMP knows it. Its all in the plan to stale any deal that will be accepted by E.U. or Ukraine.

He's been in Russia's pocket since they lent him money in the 80s, and you don't fuck with the Russians in New York... Let's assume for a moment that he's NOT a Russian agent, if he WERE one, what would he be doing differently than what he's doing now?

Yeah. He's their baby boy.

I’m a Florida taxpayer, but I applaud DeSantis having to explain how he’s wasted $218 MILLION for the failed Alligator Alcatraz fiasco!

If this administration is so nostalgically captivated by the events of the1860's, perhaps we should oblige them with a rerun. 76% approval by Republicans, 25% by Independents, 0 by Democrats. What fills that chasm?

R.F.K. JR.'s latest edict on vaccinations etc. should alert the Dems to demand the European Union not allow any Europeans to go to u.s.a. or any u.s.a. citizen to enter Europe unless vaccinated so as to NOT SPREAD DISEASE.

How can that be organized? All those Western European nations owe us something after we helped save them in the 1940s...Remember that????

Hey My Dudes and Sexy Patriots -

Find some happiness this Labor Day weekend.

I won't be able to attend our therapy session today. My daughter is having minor surgery, so I'm reaching out to ask you to please send her healing and positive vibes out into the universe.🫶🏻

Love y'all.

I’ll be there for my therapy session this afternoon.

I’m going to point out again that I live two miles from that Olympic National Forest fire where they just randomly (NOT) showed up and took two people into custody and drove to the nearest Border Patrol and ICE facility in Port Angeles, WA. I would love for you two to get into that today. I’m hoping you might ask me for more details.

See ya soon 👊🏼💙

Note: The Sofa Schtupper slipped up and let Trump know that he thinks that he's ready to take over, NOW. OOPS. I'm sure Der Trumpenfuehrer has a bus all ready to roll all over Bulbo Baggy.

.....

Note two: Therapy at 3:30? What do you have against working people? (I'm old, retired, and on the east coast so it doesn't matter to me, because I'm also old-forgetful and stupid... but still smart enough to read, share and forward your shit every day!)

.....

Note three: Desert Dachau. Watch the burn pits.

.....

Note four: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2TnkJ8_BmSI (Only 3 seconds long)

.....

Note nine: I've been calling Netanyahu a Nazi for at least a decade. And before you say a Jew can't be a Nazi: Stephen Miller. And before you go all "How dare you call a Jew a Nazi" I'm a Jew. Fuck off.

.....

Note ten: Jessica Tarlov has bigger balls than all of the men at Fox News.

.....

Note twelve: DUH and DUH

.....

Note fourteen: Judge Jeanine Cardboardeaux is now 0 for 2. Or, wouldn't it be more accurate as 0 for 6?

.....

Note fifteen: I wonder if anyone had the balls to mention it to Bezos.

.....

Note eighteen: Maybe that small number of small people realized that THEY could get primaried, too.

.....

Note nineteen: As someone who's worked with control boards, seeing that flimsy cup of liquid hanging over it sends "screechies" up and down my back!

.....

What an asshole and The losers win: Well, yeah. What else is new?

.....

CDCcrap: Be on the lookout for shady men buying dozens of bags of ice (for when they grab you off the street, steal one or BOTH kidneys and leave you in a bathtub full of cubes.)

Great stuff as always. But I just want to talk about the Note. I'm impressed with -- floored by! -- JD. He's gotten a lot of on-the-job training when 1) he doesn't have a job (I don't think sitting around waiting for Donnie to keel over is what anyone would call a job), and 2) it appears he's on vacation from the job he doesn't have more or less all the time anyway. The boy must be some sort of genius.

And if you want to know if I could make a close enough stab at impregnating a couch, no, I couldn't.
