Even if we remain united, I'm not convinced the current constitution will be able to structure a post-MAGA government. And I'm not so sure anybody can write a new one that would be as venerable, have as much gravitas, as the old one in people's minds
"I'm seeng that and it sucks and I'm not feeling that But what can one man do? I don't know, probably a lot" - Kool A.D., "life and time"
Republicans co-opt all those terms and twist them into negatives. The Wikipedia article on DEI even says it's become a slur at this point
If she's his mom, she's been 3 days postpartum herself. She might set him in his place if he sends the photos
I personally think we won't like what comes next whenever he dies
I spent 2 summers working w/ an elderly agriculturalist who spent his whole life introducing medicinal plants to villagers in Ethiopia, & watched some episodes of Man Vs. Wild with the team. He couldn't stop laughing, thought the whole thing was a troll. He kept saying "He's gonna die doing that!"
It doesn't say who the president is...
Talking of (bob)cats, my good friend and teammate's cat Sage has been going through hell lately. The family opened up a GoFundMe page because they need help paying the mountainous vet bills. It would mean the world to me if you could help them out! gofund.me/0c7f1019
Another interesting thing to me is that he's posting about executive orders he's planning on signing. Not signing them
"we must secure the existence of our people and a future for white children" but just in case anyone sees this reply separately, this is me stating what the 14 words are, not me saying the 14 words as my own opinion
The first one you could easily recreate with a couple hundred bucks. The last one's really egregious though. NES and GameCube and Pizza Hut and Paddington Bear and Pikachu and Silence of the Lanbs. Ooookay
14 for the 14 Words, 88 is for double 8th letter of the alphabet, HH, for Heil Hitler. 18 in the same way stands for AH, Adolf Hitler. Not sure about 92
+ irreparable damage to US world standing already accomplished
Epstein is the dirt they have on him, + Vance isn't a bad choice to destroy the country either, + Trump wants a Nobel Prize so bad he'll bad mouth Russian resistance to peace in Ukraine
“Most of love is lost…” —Khalil Gibran #poetry #poem #poems
It's politics for the lulz
Ah, the fascist atheist platform. Guaranteed to alienate 100% of his listeners
I was on the fringes of a cult for a while w/o knowing it. The guy at the top surrounded himself w/ sketchy people. He knew dirt on them all, so he could throw them under the bus before anything ever came out about him. I've wondered if that's why Trump picked some of the worst officials imaginable
Maxwell told Blanche that RFK Jr was connected to Epstein. Surely Trump knew this from his proximity
You can have 5 without 6, but you can't have 6 for too long before you're headed towards 5
Verse of the day pretty much said the same thing:
They'll also do anything to scapegoat trans people to justify doing to them what you do to scapegoats
admire and model thyself after the whale! Do thou, too, remain warm among ice. Do thou, too, live in this world without being of it.
We lived among the people. I think you say, "convenience store," eh? We lived above it
It's a cult mind control tactic that has made its way into more mainstream Christian belief in this country
If prayer is the only course of action, and nothing changes, they'll just say you're not praying hard enough, with enough faith, etc. It's the faith healer's playbook, and there's a direct line from those guys to MAGA dominionism
Tom Petty as Tom Petty, the mayor of a band of survivors in The Postman
It's like if somebody in the mafia was making up a list of all the jobs they knew
it means they believe/suspect/fear that trans people are more likely to assault children in bathrooms than cis people. That means they have a belief abt trans people in general which is a) not supported by facts, and therefore b) is prejudicial - a pre-judgment based not on facts, but on assumptions
While Trump is doing flashy things like hanging his picture up on buildings and having military parades, Vance is quietly telling the Army Corps to change waterways for his vacation. He's surprisingly more willing to use the levers of power for his own advantage
Blocking access in the easement, etc. Then it says the owner is free to "use and enjoy" the easement land, but can't block access. That got me thinking, what would it look like for me to enjoy my yard? Even a 10' wide strip along the back of the property? What if I *enjoyed* that grass and fence?
I'm working on plans for a development in Frankfort, KY, and the property owner has to sign a certification that they'll respect utility easements on their property, i.e. the portions of private property that have public utilities in them. No digging without locating utilities, no buildings
And other people's lives too
*name. We gotta get an edit button
Mitochondrial Challenges is the babe of my next hardcore album
The photo op is what seals the deal. It's like the JD Power survey I saw once that said something like half of pickup truck drivers don't use them to haul anything, but primarily as an "extension of their personality"
We're living out the plot of the Naked Gun reboot
Yeah it's awful mostly because of what it says about the people platforming him, not so much as a promise of what's about to happen. Terrible either way
unless, of course, the technocrat dictator appoints ministers to churches. And let's not kid ourselves, Yarvin envisions churches and no other religious orgs
And the wealthy, influencer-type preacher could contract out the 24/7 airpod oversight, but your neighborhood street corner pastor doesn't have the bandwidth. It all looks good (?) on paper to Yarvin, but it won't work at any scale
Those three might, but I don't see Baltimore as being a hotbed of famous prosperity preachers/Republican assets. I have a hard time imagining the average pastor wanting in on this kind of thing
Or when a judge enforces alaw they're breaking
Never lived outside Kentucky, and I have 3 off the top of my head
It's at least partially the voice
How many religious ministers would agree to do this though? I guess you get around that by state appointment
Krasner: So, if what you have is a group of ICE agents, or even the military, coming into Philadelphia and committing crimes—assaults that are illegal, kidnapping, unlawful restraint, obstruction of the administration of justice—they can be prosecuted.
Being from Kentucky, I rarely agree with Paul and Massie, but at least they're conservatives with convictions and not just riding the wave
Nah, that's who the National Guard weapons are for
All women are in my league or else it's eugenics
Next sentence should have been "So you wouldn't mind repeating after me: I endorse Zohran Mamdani for NYC Mayor"
He'll float outlawing mail in voting and voting machines. He'll call Brad Raffensperger and ask for votes. He'll launch several lawsuits to have votes thrown out. He'll promote and incite J6. Using the National Guard to interfere in Dem strongholds is a given at this point
What if someone compiled all of the words that Republicans shouldn't use? You know what they would call that? Censorship.
They'll find some way to blame that resistance on those "absent fathers"
And even the Iraq War justification. With no WMD, everybody started talking about liberating the people
Oh it's cause Black people work there, I see
Still got the sawmill biscuits and gravy. Still got the endless line of front porch rocking chairs. Still got the kitschy salt and pepper shakers. Still reminds me of my white great-grandparents' house in the Appalachian foothills. Is the logo the part of the culture they're worried about?
FLAG: Trump says he might declare a national emergency to keep National Guard troops in D.C. "If I have a national emergency, I can keep the troops there as long as I want."
Giving away the game right there. The point isn't the national emergency, the point is troops in DC. Why do people still act like I'm crazy when I say this is happening?
Notice sending troops to Chicago = President Trump coming to Chicago
Also feels like @kimkelly.bsky.social is gonna be one of the last people on this app to say things were better when poor people had fewer opportunities
I mean at that time the computer was also in a big room called the Public Library and absolutely destitute people could still go in there and use it for free
The icing on the cake was Vance publicly admitting, on television, that he doesn't care if it's a lie, it's a useful lie that persuades people the immigrants have to go. A truly jaw-dropping moment standing out in a sea of jaw-dropping moments

Couple steps away from AI voting
Number 6. Everyone's saying Trump can't ban mail in voting or electronic machines. But that's part of his calculation. Talk like this, and even if he can't ban them, he's sown enough doubt to reject the results when there's a blue wave up and down the ballot. It's 2020 on a nationwide scale
The literal cult that developed around him not being dead, but only hiding, and coming back to Make Rome Great Again
I saw a YouTube video back in the day where a guy breaks down how it was cheaper and easier in 1969 to land on the moon that it would have been to fake it. But if it's fake and you know it, instant rush of superiority
!!!!!
The nation that perfected the novel by plumbing the depths of the human soul transformed their national identity to be fundamentally anti-American. After a century they finally found an American leader so internally broken they can manipulate him better than anyone's ever manipulated anyone before
Dems refuse to admit that Ukraine is killing Russians

If you see me at the club this is what you'll find
There's no way you become an officer in the KGB and then president of Russia without knowing English. Unimaginable
This is incredible kompromat. The facts are widely known, but the leverage is against one person who psychologically needs it all to be untrue. No need to persuade the whole world or to even keep up the illusion
Brought into sharp focus by saying these arrests are making the city "beautiful"
Reminds me of this gem
An echo chamber called safety
Reskeet with a tweet you still think about
That was dinner he just lost to make his point. And in this economy! Definitely approaching the tipping point
Interesting that he was Jewish-German, spreading these kinds of conspiracies
... should, I don't know, stir some good inside him to try to help all the homeless masses
Like the Dr Bronner's ALL-ONE soap Dr Bronner?
Each joke posted is like 20 seconds you could have used to call Trump's latest evil thing evil. You could have saved America, but nooo
Something I've been thinking about a lot lately: as much as Trump is in the Epstein files, he knows lawmakers who are too. Both because he's president and because he probably saw them in compromising situations. And if Epstein happened to be an Israeli asset, maybe Netanyahu knows who they are too
I'm starting to think he had a hand compiling/maintaining the list. As part of his duties as an asset. But that's just me
The nursing home -> homeless -> involuntarily committed to a glorified concentration camp pipeline
I'm not a Calvinist any more, but if I was, seems like I'd rather say Jesus loving me and being glorified are the same thing, accomplished by the same action of dying. A lot of online folks seem to think theology is for painfully trolling everyone these days
Worth mentioning too that Wilson once wrote a book saying slaves and slaveholders loved each other, and slaves enjoyed slavery. Years later, he clarified one point: no one can say "most" slaves were treated inhumanely, or that "most" slaveholders were kind and loving. Just "many" instances of both
Christianity, globally speaking, is a religion of the poor and nonwhite people, and it makes me mad and breaks my heart and nearly drives me insane that so many in our current moment think of it as synonymous with white evangelical MAGA
My assumption has been that he was/is a Russian asset and participated directly in sourcing girls, trafficking, blackmailing global influencers, etc. as well
Rewatching from the pilot and I was struck by the contrast. He's such a good dad
Marigolds, Olga Sedykh, 2003.
You mention Galatians 5:14. As a Christian for nearly 4 decades, it was pointed out to me only very recently that the verse doesn't say "love your neighbor as you love yourself", but "love your neighbor *as* yourself"—My neighbor is me. How could I not love my neighbor?
This is precisely *who they're being made for*
Fox is especially good at doing this all day, every day - a thing happens, they react, and then they report on their own reaction ad nauseum. Dems not talking about a denim commercial? Just say they are, then get mad about what you said they're doing, then talk about your anger
as laughable as this is, there's literally no way to prevent clouds of condensation appearing in the sky behind jets. All day long they can look up and see every jet in the sky breaking their little anti-chemtrail laws
