Sarcastic rover has an issue with Twitter and Bette Midler has one with foundations

Best tweet of the day so far"  2 hours ago
I turned on Twitter’s “quality filter” and now I can’t see my own tweets. ☹️🤖











There's been flooding in the neighborhood again. Here's what's being done about it.


Some things in life defy politics and borders. We just had the Olympics as an example. Here is another. In case it's not common knowledge, each member of the National Hockey League championship team gets to take the Stanley Cup home for a couple of days. Evgeni Malkin of the Pittsburgh Penguins took it to Russia this week and displayed it at the Russian HockeyHall of Fame.

I've been paying into Social Security for about 60 years. Now some asshats in the neighborhood of half my age come along and want to cut it. I want to cut them.


Here's a phrase we're probably going to get tired of fairly quickly: Alt-right


Facebook and other social platforms helped distribute the message of an armed militia standoff against the feds in Oregon earlier this year. Now, it's being used by prosecutors to build a criminal case against them.








Another pretty good tweet for today: Bette Midler 
Donald Trump calls on Hillary to shut down her foundation. Meanwhile, we’re all still begging him to choose a more natural color for his.

Bryce who? Baseball MVP holds Olympic swimmer's medals while she throws out the first pitch. At this point in human progression, she's probably more famous worldwide than he is.

  1. Don't start on those asshats in Oregon. I got into it with a bunch of them online right after this happened. I commented on a friend's post, and a bunch of them jumped me, commenting on how I wasn't very pretty, I had some extra pounds, and they didn't think I was very smart. It went on several days, and I had a great time with those "little boys," and I told them if they wanted to get my goat, they were going to have to do better than fat, ugly and stupid. I grew an only girl up with five brothers. Those things are like water off a duck's back. One of them told me to think about them the next time I bit into a big, juicy steak. I told them I didn't expect to live another 35 or so years, and that, if I was lucky, I could afford an occasional hamburger.

    ...then there are the idiots that want to cut social security...a "trust fund" that I've paid into since 1964. That was dear old St. Ronnie's work to tap into that, and they want to keep at it until it's all gone. Yes, we'll have something to say if they cut that. They ain't see mad until they see old and mad. I have Irish Alzheimers—where you forget everything but a grudge.
