Aaron, you look so tired. We appreciate you, please try to get a good night's sleep tonight.

TriTorch's avatar

Kim, do you think Aaron is the same type as the boy in this Sunday story:

Back in the innocent days when an ice cream sundaes tasted far better and cost far less, a haggard little boy entered a cafe, and, spotting a seat at the counter, made his way through the bustling crowd. A tied-up and tired waitress put a glass of water in front of him and asked what he'd like.

‘How much is an ice cream sundae?', he inquired with excited eyes.

50 cents, replied the waitress.

The boy pulled a handful of change out of his pocket and studied his small collection of coins.

‘How much is a dish of plain ice cream?', he asked, this time a bit sheepishly.

Noticing that her other tipping customers were now waiting to be served the waitress grew impatient.

35 cents, she said in an abrupt, lightly exasperated tone.

The boy again counted his coins, then said, ‘I'll have the plain ice cream please.' The waitress brought the ice cream, slid his bill on the counter, and rushed off to serve the ones who paid her bills.

The boy, grateful for his treat, finished his ice cream, paid the cashier, and departed penniless.

When the waitress came back, she started wiping down the counter, and then began to cry at what she saw.

There, placed neatly beside the empty dish, was 15 cents – the missing link between a sundae and plain ice cream – her tip.

That busy day that poor boy imbued in her a reverberating unannounced lesson both in kindness and humility which she tried to share everyplace she went until she breathed her last.

Lindsey Graham should be subject to removal from the Senate for treasonous actions. He iwanted and actively promoted this. Every death is on his hands.

Tessa's avatar

Half of Congress and everyone in the White House should be removed… but they won’t be, because we have no goddamn heroes or even enough normal; decent people in government to put an end to this shit.

Anastasia Pantsios's avatar

We DO have heroes. I selectively follow a handful of elected officials on Instagram because it's a controllable app: you can set boundaries in a way you can't on other social media. I watch the videos they post of their speeches, their conversations and their testimony, and they are out there on the front lines: my REAL governor J.B. Pritzker; my congresswoman Shontel Brown; some of the congresspeople who have been skewering Trump's toadies such as Kristi Noem with FACTS, including Pramila Jayapal, Jared Moskowitz, Joe Neguse and Melanie Stansbury; Jamie Raskin who knows more about the Constitution than every member of the Trump administration put together (and who also humiliated Noem this week); tireless progressive senators such as Chris Murphy, Ed Markey and Liz Warren; and even people most never heard of, such as that kickass young Somali mayor of Minneapolis suburb St. Louis Park, Nadia Mohamed, just 29, and so smart, capable, compassionate and outspoken.

I only wish I could identify more decent people on the other side of the aisle. When it comes to quality, you can't both sides this anymore.

Sandra LaJeunesse's avatar

I think it's so important to recognize that there are many heroes who are diligently fighting to preserve our democracy.

Anastasia Pantsios's avatar

It is. It's so easy to become discouraged when we see ignorant clowns hogging the spotlight and it feels like they have the upper hand. We need to seek out and pay attention to the people fighting back. I make sure to call my congresswoman when she says or does something I appreciate. Years ago I told a congressman (not mine) at a book signing that I often called my senators (both R) to bitch at them but didn't call my congresswoman (at the time the late much-missed Stephanie Tubbs-Jones) because I usually agreed with her. And he said, no, you have to call because we log our calls, emails etc so we can go on the floor of Congress and say "I got 30,000 calls in favor of this proposal and just 270 against it."

W Franz's avatar

Well stated. Thank you.

Patty Powell's avatar

Thanks for the info.

GB's avatar

Thank you for naming those true patriot citizens. I pray for their continued health and safety as they consistently do their jobs to help the American people.

Dancin AimeeG's avatar

I understand how you feel. I started a weekly protest in my town last March because I was so effing upset. It feels good to be with others to take action together on making change in our town and state. We must secure our voter registration to vote out the MAGA rot. It starts locally. Please hang in there. ✊🏽🇺🇸

Sylvia Arrowood's avatar

We do have heroes. Look at the people uncovering the Epstein files. Look at Bernie Sanders, AOC, Jamie Raskin, Governor Pritzker, Governor Newsom, all the judges who are ruling against Trump, just to name a few. Look at those of us who are constantly voicing our rights and all the protests.

mnakloon's avatar

I still can’t get over how Graham and his ilk just talk about murdering innocent people like it’s a great thing. His words are disgusting and sickening, just so sickening

Claar's avatar

They act like they’re playing a video game. This is real life and they’re supposed to be “leaders” - you think they’d have an ounce of decorum.

mnakloon's avatar

That is exactly what I posted the other day. Just like a fucking game to them. Can’t wait to see them all at Nuremberg

Sandra LaJeunesse's avatar

Lindsey is such a 2-faced idiot. He changes his mind depending on which way the wind blows. Now he thinks it's ok to murder human beings if we will get richer.

I can't bear to listen to him or understand why anyone would ever vote for him.

Fox.or.Ox's avatar

He is a Sadist with a Capital S. I don't know why some serious reporter or sleuth hasn't publicly exposed his very secret home life with who and how he actually lives. I imagine it is a sado-masochistic relationship with Lindsey Graham as the Sadist part of the partnership.

Batya Lee's avatar

Speaking for myself, I don't have any interest in his personal life. His public one is bad enough.

Fox.or.Ox's avatar

Well some many people vote for him and think he is a good American Patriot and statesman. I think they should know what he really is., an evil sadist.

Mary Hayes's avatar

I look forward to the moment when the rotting and demented orange wart hog, Graham, Miller, Noem, Hegseth, Bondi, Leavett, and the rest of the gruesome gang of ghouls...stand in handcuffs when they are declared guilty of treason and high crimes against humanity and hear their punishment.

Brenda Gass's avatar

You describe a great photo! I want a copy!

W Franz's avatar

Yep and he always seems to have a smirk on his face. Disgusting

S. A. Linden's avatar

He acts like he's high on his own supply. Dopamine hit. Eyes shiny and voice hysterical. He needs a mental check.

Brenda Gass's avatar

Lindsay Graham is despot! 🤮🤬

Linda Harris's avatar

OK, how many believe as lady Lindsey states that this will be over and in 2 weeks there will be peace like we've never seen. The absolute glee on his face about subjugating people needs to be shot off. Iran on it's knees, you mean Lindsey on his knees.

Jacque Bradley's avatar

He looks EVIL in that video👺

Anastasia Pantsios's avatar

Once again, one must ask: what does Trump have on Lindsey?

M. Layfield's avatar

Lindsay is closeted. He’s also a heavy drinker. Maybe he should accept his gayness and realize living truthfully he can give up alcohol.

Anastasia Pantsios's avatar

It can't be that he's gay though. That's shocking to almost no one. There must be more. Could he have done something, um, regrettable while drunk?

Bela's avatar

Too late for him.

Linda Harris's avatar

Yes, before he started kowtowing. He came out publicly against him. Then there was that golf course meeting and bam...Lindsey was on his knees with the rest.

Anastasia Pantsios's avatar

It's happened repeatedly. Lindsey says something rational about Trump, goes to play golf with him, comes back and reverses himself.

Fox.or.Ox's avatar

Probably as much or more as Lindsey has on him.

Sandy Stepina's avatar

I think Drumpf calls him Bubba 💙

I think they all seem to be on hallucinatory drugs!

(Q) What the reaction in Congress will be when they figure out that bibi netanyahu is the commander in chief? (A) A yawn of complete subjugation.

(Q) If Goebbels spoke like Graham, would Hitler have shot him? (A) Like a puppy

Peter Tey's avatar

I call him SATANYAHU

S. A. Linden's avatar

I just read about the successor in Iran. He was notorious for extreme brutality years ago when he was in charge of what sounded to me like Iran's secret police. Torture and murder.

What a pair he and Trump are going to make. Good god.

Yvonne's avatar

I wish John McCain would Haunt Lindsey Graham. He's not a good man

M. Layfield's avatar

Lindsay Graham should not be on t.v. when he’s shit-faced.

Janice Darling's avatar

His salivating over the destruction is odious. And rather unChristian….

Sandy Stepina's avatar

Makes him feel like a tough guy ? Go to Iran 🇮🇷 u fuck

ellmarree's avatar

Lindsey should retire. Sick of hypocrites!

S. A. Linden's avatar

He'll meet his Maker soon enough. There will be karma. Quite creative karma.

Jean Dean's avatar

Awe, I'm a blubbering mess….but of course Aaron woulda done that!!!!! As a grandma it makes me happy and very grateful this young man is so passionate and genuine to his moral compass.

M. Layfield's avatar

Aaron is a bright light in a world of darkness. 🙏

Drakossi's avatar

Trump is glowing becuase he has a very Large off shore investment in oil, he is taking in the surge. He loves the fact that oil is increasing daily. He needs to go, impeach or 25th your choice, let's start sending our dear leaders phone calls and emails. Let them know this is not OK. Yes this is an Epstien distraction, but it has 2 other purposes. Oil surge, and voter restrictions.

Sophie S.'s avatar

The fact that 41% of people approve of this war is fucking craaazy!

BD's avatar

I agree !! I could not believe at a “gathering “ I attended today the positive comments. I don’t understand how they appreciate and approve of a whole city with fire & black rain on men , woman and children, school. I’ll never understand

Susie Falling's avatar

The lack of empathy and humanity is staggering.

Judith Brown's avatar

What can be said in such a situation. Something honest and objective. Something provocative.

Brenda Gass's avatar

I don’t believe it.

TriTorch: I wish you would follow the credo you espouse on your profile "The more you can ignore how bad things are - the better you will feel and the worse things will get. Frank Zappa. YOU do not post on Good News Sunday Morning. You always wait until crises are striking and then you post something like this to divert people.

Jean Dean's avatar

Linda when I read my this, my take was an example of someone who (the boy) follows social rules and has morals. They (the boy) does not adhere to popularity (ignors the social stigma of occupying the waitress time to get an answer). Aaron does this. He demonstrated this with persistence if the Epstein files. He does this without slighting. He left the 15cent tip. He was living within rules and not taking advantage. I see where you are coming from and will be more cognizant of the motive of this particular contributor.

Linda Harris's avatar

TriTorch tries to undermine Aaron. This is not the first time.

Jean Dean's avatar

Astute observation. I'll keep that in mind as I read them

Cat's avatar

With fiction no less.

People restacking, liking, and commenting like it’s real smh. This isn’t the only profile that does this.

Peter Tey's avatar

SORRY, I AM DULL IN MY BRAINS

But I didn't get the point of the story

Linda Harris's avatar

Tritorch comes on Aaron's comment section when there is a day of heavy crises. Their profile motto is that Frank Zappa quote. They do just the opposite of what Zappa propounds. They find a good news story and stick it near the top or at the top of the comments. That is what my comment is referring to.

Peter Tey's avatar

Thank you so much for the explanation

Patricia Anne Boone's avatar

Who does this big fat orange turd think he is?! He needs to take care of his own country first instead of bossing another country!! He needs to mind his own business instead of ordering another country

BD's avatar

So sweet ! Likely he was similar in his kind attitude, at least as often as I’ve subscribed, he seems morally kind and would maybe be like that when young. He s seems to have a lot of integrity!

Richard Waddell's avatar

Beautiful story - thank you.

Ron m's avatar

I bet Trump will call for a draft

We should have had a national service requirement long before now, not in response to this war. If ALL of America’s young people were required to do some sort of national service for a couple of years, including the military as one option, I’m 99% sure we wouldn’t be getting into these forever wars. Our citizens would suddenly wake up and not allow them!

Peter Tey's avatar

I agree, that would be a great idea

A few years of service of your choice

That would do you good

Fox.or.Ox's avatar

Thank God for now, we do not now have mandatory military service, but many countries do, including Israel. If their government could change that, I wonder if Netenyahu's ardor for war would sputter to a stop, or just a dream.

Robot Bender's avatar

I've been saying that for decades. Imagine how much good might have been done for our country.

They can send Barron Trump to the front lines with his 2ft. Heel spurs.

HumanKind1998's avatar

MAGA Republicans Congress kids and grandkids, lace up your boots first….theyve 💋💋💋💋

Fox.or.Ox's avatar

MAGAts should be mandated by a new law hopefully sponsored soon by a Democratic Congressional member, to serve in the Iran active military commenced by Pres. Trump.

Cindy's avatar

I think we should put ICE frontline first!!

Peter Tey's avatar

Indeed, make them useful

Let them use their brutal muscles against a worthy enemy

Not against defenseless human beings, adult as well as children

Fox.or.Ox's avatar

Absolutely! Yes! Thank you.

Christy B.'s avatar

Would even THAT be enough to change their mind about Trump, his ethics, his morality or his agenda?

Renee Goodman's avatar

Christy, if their lives get into danger, they will finally know they work for a DELUSIONAL,PATHOLOGICAL, MONSTER!!!

Christy B.'s avatar

... the operative word being "their."

Lindsey Graham with his heels too.

Fox.or.Ox's avatar

He would squeal like a pig.

Beached Dragon's avatar

Yair Netanyahu, the son of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, has been living in Miami, Florida, since January 2024. His presence in the U.S. has attracted attention, especially during recent military actions involving Israel and Iran

Renee Goodman's avatar

Terri, all Israelis male or female they must serve in the military for 2 years! How old is the son living in Florida?

Christy B.'s avatar

They'd likely just keep him in school or find another exception to him being drafted. I think going to Canada for him would be off the table, yes? 😉

Sandra LaJeunesse's avatar

I like to imagine the old men who started this war going to fight in it.

Put their boots on the ground!

Anne's avatar

Absofuckinlutely!!

Charlotte S. Miller's avatar

Wouldn't Bone Spurs Donny Trump need to reactivate the Selective Service in order to register young men and women for the draft? (The last time women were drafted was for nurses during WWII.)

Brittany🌙🍃🌈⛈️'s avatar

He’ll probably just draft registered democrats.

Ann Farrell's avatar

I honestly don't think Don would care. Melania would try to convince him to exclude Barron but not care about the other “cheeldren”.

Karen Lyda's avatar

He can draft his maga supporters only😮‍💨

lat428's avatar

Send ICE. They have enough of our tax money. Make them earn it.

Tessa's avatar

And they love terrorizing people.

lat428's avatar

Yep, they like shooting people and traumatizing people.

Jerrie's avatar

Clearly ice loves to kill innocent people - send them first Mfks

lat428's avatar

Yes, also send the 1/6 insurrectionists, they like combat.

MaryKathryn Kirkpatrick's avatar

Yes; however, ICE is so poorly trained.

Peter Tey's avatar

Let them feel the effect when they are faced with a trained enemy instead of poor defenseless people

Jerrie's avatar

They can kill each other- fkn traitors

Jamie Wolf's avatar

DRAFT BARRON FIRST!

Karen Shields's avatar

Wouldn’t make any difference to trump - ‘cuz Barron is Melania’s kid. And we know trump doesn’t care about anyone but himself.

How can even the most self-interested Republican in congress support him still at this point? How do these evil people live with themselves?

Carol's avatar

I ask myself that question all the time. Does the job attract sociopaths?

Keisah's avatar

Yes. Studies have been done showing that those types tend to be in higher positions of power. They don’t care who they trample on to get what they want.

Linda Harris's avatar

He has something on Lindsey or why did he make a 180 about trump. He was lashing out about him only a little over a year ago.

Peter Tey's avatar

No , soulless and immoral ones

Weak cowards out to make money by saying Yes Sir President

Mar 9Edited

I just looked up the definition of sociopath. Insert the names of trump, the cabinet members, some supreme court members and many members of congress.... We can finally all agree on something! They all fit the definition.

"Strong disregard for social norms, laws or rules at home, at work, in school and other public places

Violating the rights of others

Minimizing others’ feelings and how they affect other people

Chronic manipulation, gaslighting, denial and deceit

Difficulty forming healthy relationships

Callousness and lack of remorse

Acting impulsively without concern for consequences

Attempting to gain power and control through aggression

A tendency toward petty crime, physical violence or fighting

Substance misuse

Peter Tey's avatar

Perfect, thanks

Kbrx's avatar

How can even the most self-interested Republicans in congress support him still at this point? How do these evil people live with themselves?

I’ve been hearing all the Republican’s hate Trump, but still suck up to him in person to avoid his rath. That seems like a dereliction of duty to me! Please vote blue, and encourage others to do so. We need a majority in Congress. Also, make sure you have a current VISA, or a valid copy of your Birth Certificate. That is especially important if you have had a name change. Probably everyone should arrive at polling place to vote with proof of USA birth or citizenship paperwork on-hand. Trump said today he will NOT sign ANY Bills, or other official paperwork, until the SAVE ACT Bill is passed.

Getting proof of citizenship can take some time, and offices will get busier as we approach the midterms. If you live in same or nearby county of birth, you can often obtain a county-based “Proof of Birth” card, directly from the County Health Department. Some counties MAY require you to go through the State’s Department of Vital Records instead.

To request a copy of your Birth Certificate—Apply on-line via YOUR BIRTH STATE’S Department of Vital Records.

You should post this everywhere you can. It’s good advice for especially all women going forward.

Weve been saying “there would be a revolution if” every step of the way and theres been nothing. People were calling for storming the capital if we struck iran not even 2 weeks ago and now its crickets. Americans are just never going to revolt on a large scale.

ClanHay's avatar

Well, well, well… the president of NO WARS and leader of the Board of Peace is looking at a potential Draft.

tromp family should be first in line for a Draft... just like the UK Royal family, right? tromp doesn't want to UK to show him up, right ?? there's LOT of military expertise in ICE... and magats can bring their own weapons.

Funny that lindsay mentions Israel on their knees… he should know, he's an expert at being on his knees.

Thank you Aaron for all your hard work!!! It’s much appreciated!!

Okay….i don’t give a shit if Barron is 12 feet tall, if they impose the draft, his entitled ass needs to be in the draw! He doesn’t get to hide behind his daddy’s position, especially since the fuckwad started this illegal war!! I have no doubt he and dickwit Hegseth will decide to do that!! I swear to God, if he does, that little shit needs to be faced with the possibility of going just like any other young man!!! Jesus God in heaven….

They will play up his Autism

as a disability….if he even has it….

Anastasia Pantsios's avatar

There's no evidence he is autistic. That's just a speculative story started by people trying to explain his affectless demeanor. But maybe the real answer is he is withdrawn from his shitty parents.
