Donald Trump and Speaker Mike Johnson stand with pedophiles and other rapists rather than standing with the victims of Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell, Prince Andrew, Donald Trump, and all the other rapists and pedophile rapists, regardless of party or country.

I didn’t watch. When the pool was shown the scene, Trump was already at the podium? Was he ever shown stepping aside? Or do they just have him propped up at the podium until the cameras turned off. Everyone in the room is a Republican, including the pool.

And yet that piece of egotistical shit supports Donald Trump, a man who raped at least one woman and probably a lot more.

It’s funny but the best defense for libel is telling the truth. Saying he a greedy asshole is factual. It’s also invective against a public figure is not actionable in the US.
Brian C. Bock (@briancbock.bsky.social) reply parent
Claiming to be a public figure would work against him in libel and slander as the standard in US law is much higher for public figures. Actual Malice. And using invective against him doesn’t qualify in either case. You can call him a fuck-faced greedy asshole and it’s not actionable.

Restaurants I used to love, but now suck: #PaneraBread, #CaliforniaPizzaKitchen, #PFChangs. They were all victims of private equity capital (murder). These companies always destroy what made restaurants good. They make them more expensive, with a simper, less unique menu and smaller portions.

Aesthetics is why the care doesn’t have normal door handles that when you pull them from the inside the door opens and you can get out. In a tesla, they use an electric button to open the door. There are no handles on the outside of Cyber Truck. There’s an electric button. So yes, aesthetics.

I have mixed feelings. I think part of the reason we’ve done NOTHING to fix this problem of school and church shootings is we hide the results. If people saw what actually happens to a child’s body with these weapons, they’d be forever changed. But we hide it all.

Aren’t these also people who have civilian jobs and they train a few times a year so when they are actually needed they can support their communities? How is this a good use of the National Guard? It’s not. They could pay sanitation workers and parks people to do all of this. Oh, they fired ‘em.

It’s bizarre the extent to which the White House is covering up Donald Trump’s #cankles. He had the leaders of Europe seated around him at the Resolute Desk so the press couldn’t see how he’s going to lose his feet.

Picket where the decision makers actually are. I was at a complex in the hospital, not the administrative building. There was no point of harassing my family and others as patients and family where the people in charge aren’t going to notice.

I agree but hassling patients and their families on some of the worst days of their lives deserves anger. I agree they should have safe working conditions and proper staffing levels not just for staff but for patients. But picketing patients and visitors is shit. And they’re the only ones who care.
