So just say Trump wasn't bad enough for you. Admit that you wanted him in power. I mean, I've held my nose a few times and voted for someone who I might not like, but who wasn't likely to burn it all down. Because that, petal, was the choice. You chose this.

@bruceshark.bsky.social Gnarly ducks from Cartagena. No beaches yet.

Standing black duck with white wing markings, red bumps on beak, and black legs and feet. Definitely not a mallard. Black duck roosting on driftwood.

Do you allow your kid to watch horror movies unsupervised? Are you good with her accessing NSFW and soft porn sites? After all, she's not interacting. Social media isolates kids and has been shown to be a recruiting tool for RW ideology. You're playing with your kid's mental health.
