Back in February my best friend’s boyfriend got me involved in his plans to propose to her, but after the virus hit, plans had to change. Two months later, plan C was created and it’s one for the books💍❤️ *Disclaimer: get tissues before watching*

Don’t be distracted by the games at the Statehouse. Republicans are proposing billions in cuts for school districts, defunding the police, and hurting local governments.

School districts would lose over $500M in budget year one.

[FOX59 News @FOX59]

A proposed bill could allow Indiana lawmakers to withhold funding to prosecutors who don’t file charges or adhere to the Republican majority’s “values and principles.”

Another could allow Gov. Braun to remove and replace county prosecutors outright.

Why do they care more about the people of Illinois than you?

[Brian Munoz @brianmmunoz]

Maybe it was wishful thinking that #StLouis residential roads would be treated for the snow and ice we got more than a week ago. Arguably, it’s worse now that it’s all ice. #stlwx

Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker (D) responds to the Indiana General Assembly considering a bill to encourage Illinois counties to secede:

"Well it's a stunt ... Indiana is a low-wage state that does not protect workers, does not provide health care for people when they're in need. I don't think it's very attractive for anyone in Illinois."

What's this, a ⁦@CityofStLouis⁩ salt truck on a side street? Yep! #BreakingNews At 5 -- 9 days after major winter storm hit -- with side still streets entirely under sheets of ice, City changing historic stance of just waiting for sun to melt it @fox2now

[PK of the Norco Kellys @pkelly1330]

Can I speak with someone in charge please @saintlouismayor

Multiple businesses and many residents still have to deal with a sheet of ice for a road. Could the Soulard neighborhood get some salt treatment or are we on the wrong side of Market?

Robert De Niro’s full statement on Trump. Please read and let me know your thoughts:

I’ve spent a lot of time studying bad men.  I’ve examined their characteristics, their mannerisms, the utter banality of their cruelty. Yet there’s something different about Donald Trump. When I look at him, I don’t see a bad man. Truly.

I see an evil one.

Over the years, I’ve met gangsters here and there. This guy tries to be one, but he can’t quite pull it off. There’s such a thing as “honor among thieves.” Yes, even criminals usually have a sense of right and wrong.  Whether they do the right thing or not is a different story — but — they have a moral code, however warped.

Donald Trump does not. He’s a wannabe tough guy with no morals or ethics. No sense of right or wrong. No regard for anyone but himself — not the people he was supposed to lead and protect, not the people he does business with, not the people who follow him, blindly and loyally, not even the people who consider themselves his “friends.” He has contempt for all of them.

We New Yorkers got to know him over the years that he poisoned the atmosphere and littered our city with monuments to his ego.  We knew first hand that this was someone who should never be considered for leadership.  We tried to warn the world in 2016.

The repercussions of his turbulent presidency divided America and rattled New York City beyond imagination.  Remember how we were jolted by crisis in early 2020, as a virus swept the world. We lived with Donald Trump’s bombastic behavior every day on the national stage, and we suffered as we saw our neighbors piling up in body bags.
The man who was supposed to protect this country put it in peril, because of his recklessness and impulsiveness. It was like an abusive father ruling the family by fear and violent behavior.  That was the consequence of New York’s warning getting ignored. Next time, we know it will be worse.

Make no mistake: the twice-impeached, 4-time indicted Donald Trump is still a fool. But we can’t let our fellow Americans write him off like one. Evil thrives in the shadow of dismissive mockery, which is why we must take the danger of Donald Trump very seriously.
So today we issue another warning. From this place where Abraham Lincoln spoke — right here in the beating heart of New York — to the rest of America:
This is our last chance.

Democracy won’t survive the return of a wannabe dictator.

And it won’t overcome evil if we are divided.

So what do we do about it?  I know I’m preaching to the choir here.  What we’re doing today is valuable, but we have to take today into tomorrow – take it outside these walls.   We have to reach out to the half of our country who have ignored the hazards of Trump and, for whatever reason, support elevating him back into the White House.  They’re not stupid, and we must not condemn them for making a stupid choice.  Our future doesn’t just depend on us. It depends on them.

Let’s reach out to Trump’s followers with respect.  Let’s not talk about “democracy.”  “Democracy” may be our holy grail, but to others it is just a word, a concept, and in their embrace of Trump, they’ve already turned their backs on it.  Let’s talk about right and wrong.  Let’s talk about humanity.  Let’s talk about kindness.  Security for our world.  Safety for our families.  Decency.  Let’s welcome them back.  We won’t get them all, but we can get enough to end the nightmare of Trump, and fulfill the mission of this “Stop Trump Summit.”

BREAKING: In a devastating speech, iconic actor Robert De Niro rips Donald Trump to shreds, declaring that Trump is “not a bad man,” but “an evil one” who is a “wanna be tough guy” and has “no morals or ethics.”

But Robert De Niro didn’t stop there…

De Niro continued:

“Trump has no sense of right or wrong. No regard for anyone but himself — not the people he was supposed to lead and protect, not the people he does business with, not the people who follow him, blindly and loyally, not even the people who consider themselves his “friends.” He has contempt for all of them.

Well said, Robert De Niro!

Please retweet and ❤️ to thank Robert De Niro for calling out Donald Trump — and consider joining the growing exodus to Tribel, a woke new Twitter competitor that banned Trump for life and is exploding in popularity because Elon Musk banned Tribel’s Twitter account — but he forgot to ban this link to download the new Tribel app: https://t.co/HnJzSKjCwX

It’s kind of hilarious how often drunk girls exchange Instagrams and just never talk again. I met this girl at a bar five years ago and I’ve seen her graduate, get married, have a baby 😂
