Things this administration is afraid of: sandwiches, chalk, logos being changed, trash, unmulched gardens, the Epstein list, Putin, women with blue hair, their past, Unions, puppies, 90 year old hippies, fair elections, and probably their own shadows. Bunch of fraidy cats projecting onto all of us.

While we are on the topic of mocking, why is there no compilation video of all the nutty things 47 has said/done. You mentioned in the article about how you’ve seen all of it but his base hasn’t, let’s expose it all. Although it would probably end up being an hours long documentary.

Surprisingly, no. I was actually shocked that he acknowledged the seriousness of COVID, called it a really bad virus. He just lost me completely when he said it was China’s doing to rig the election. I’ve heard the part about China and the virus, but the election part was a new one.

Just so everyone knows, as per random waiting room guy, China released COVID into the world specifically to trigger mail in ballots for the election in 2020 so the election could be rigged for Biden to win.

Autonomy and agency were words for future me, because young me had none. And it’s these expectations, that young people should just listen to the adults in their lives as do as they say, that create the systemic acceptance of abuse toward children. Not just acceptance, but a perpetuation of it.

Women in my family made after dinner conversations about comparing breast sizes, body size and shape, and reminding us that we just aren’t quite good enough at anything. Sometimes it was a kind of weird show and tell, asking us to sing the song we learned or show off some gymnastics move.

Growing up I was surrounded by adults that seemed to believe my body, and the bodies of my cousins, were there specifically for their enjoyment and criticism. Uncles that smacked my bottom when they walked by, got too close for comfort, made fun of my skinny legs.

The fact that 38 states still allow underage marriages says a LOT about how systemic the problem of people preying on children really is in our country. It’s not just about the Epstein files, it’s about the fact that some people keep going out of their way to make sure it can continue. #lockthemup

I see the misinformation machine is kicking up to support Marjorie Taylor Greene’s Israel amendment. Advocates have a responsibility to be clear about what legislation does and doesn’t do. Her amendment did NOT cut off offensive aid to Israel. We shouldn’t pretend it does. My statement on it:

If you need further proof that men should not be the only ones making decisions about women’s bodies, I offer you this: for a very long time in history men believed that women had wandering uteruses that caused many ailments. #womenshealthmatters

Funny how some folks will say that 47 ended his friendship with Epstein, but forget that he surrounded himself with sexual predators. Matt Gaetz, Vince McMahon, his former religious advisor Robert Morris. You are who you surround yourself with.

Whatever is in those documents is so bad that he had to become president to make them go away and keep himself out of prison. All the rest is just theatrics.

Things to ponder: -2019 during 47’s first go around, Epstein goes to prison and dies there. -47 loses election and ends up with boxes of documents in his bathroom, claims election was stolen. -2025 47 back in office and takes boxes of documents back and now there is no list.
