The McDonald?

A clear example of NPR’s biased journalism /sarcasm.

According to Politico

Trump sends a scorched-earth budget plan. GOP lawmakers hate it already. https://www.politico.com/news/2025/05/02/trumps-budget-asks-congress-00323256

Congressional Republicans aired some of their grievances about public broadcasting to Kerger and Maher at a public hearing in March. Such complaints have been common over the years, but the broadcasters have avoided funding cuts, in large part because members of Congress don’t want to be seen as responsible if a station in their district shuts down. Who wants to be the public official who killed “Sesame Street”?

His name became famous as a euphemism for the vulgar expression (also known as the Swabian Salute): “Er kann mich am Arsch lecken” (lit: He can lick my ass). This saying was attributed to him by writer and poet Johann Wolfgang von Goethe (1749–1832), who wrote a play based on his life.[2]

A botched BUTT implant leading to a BRAIN-dead state isn’t oniony? Yeah, I get the lidocaine caused cardiac arrest which lead to her being brain-dead, but my first reaction was “how do you work on someone’s butt and leave them brain-dead?”

If you’re not paying attention, here are the four magic words: “After Massive Public Pressure”.

When government does stupid stuff, make them squirm until they back down.

Reviewers can get it wrong, too. Here’s a review of Empire Strikes Back from June 15, 1980

https://archive.nytimes.com/www.nytimes.com/library/film/061580empire.html

Confession: When I went to see “The Empire Strikes Back” I found myself glancing at my watch almost as often as I did when I was sitting through a truly terrible movie called “The Island.”

That’s what I thought, too, But according to that law firm’s (https://cornerstonelaw.us/22nd-amendment-doesnt-say-think-says/) article,

While the Amendment’s drafters spilled extra ink ensuring that someone who is elevated to the Presidency for more than two years of another President’s term due to that other President’s death or removal from office, it does nothing to clarify that one who is elected twice cannot rise to the Presidency again. In short, if the 22nd Amendment’s purpose was to ensure that there was a 10 year maximum on service for anyone regardless of how they became President, it could have said so.

and with our Supreme Court in his pocket…

But, I like it.

And you know it might not be that bad. You were the best I’d ever had…

Have you tried turning it off and back on again?

I don’t have the answer for you, sorry. But I was glad to read

"at least I don’t feel like I want to kill myself all the time like it happened in the past… "

It seems like the pool makes you feel better. So try to make sure you get to treat yourself to things you like.

I’ve heard a lot of people don’t care for antidpressants.

I’ve also heard people say “keep a list of things that make you happy/that you are grateful for” and review it often. But no matter what, I hope things turn around for you and that you feel better.

You can only go so far back, and then it won’t let you edit older posts. I tried many months ago.
