Same reason bigotry isn’t an impedance to a gay or woman President that I see so many people try to claim. Bigots aren’t voting Democrat no matter who it is. Good thing you don’t need those deplorables to win.

Idk, he seemed pretty comfortable on Epstein’s Lolia Express.

I’m still extremely worried of a false flag crisis… Either that or dropping our guard down to such a degree that it invites a crisis to exploit (E.g., Bibi’s ignoring clear Intel reports of impending Oct 7th).

That is Ford motorcraft… It should be manufactured in America, right…?

… Right…?

Then again I ordered a DENSO (Japanese corporation and main supplier for OEM Toyota parts on their vehicles) part and it was made in China, so…

Streisand Effect lol.

Probably got advice from RFK Jr. on lobotomies.

I’ll take wins where I can get them these days, and at least Starmer seems to be fully in Ukraine’s corner. I appreciate his welcoming of Zelenskyy following the absurdity of Zelenskyy’s visit with Trump.

If they look, act, and quack like psychopaths…

Loony Loomer

Are the kids still saying based? Might I nominate His Holy Basedness?

I remember a refrain between my dad and I over Biden’s term, “Could you just imagine what would happen right now if Trump was in office handling this…?” mostly in reference to Ukraine and even Gaza.

No imagination necessary now…

I’m just wondering if I should prepare by improving my Spanish for El Salvador, or Arabic for Libya… Ah… But Harris’s laugh and mUh bOTh SiDeS.

Fucker both looks and acts like Putin.

Yeah that is fair and I should’ve elaborated this as the Trump Administration. As in, Trump doesn’t care because he both successfully ran from prison, and is now able to golf pretty much all he wants. If anything he probably resents America for refusing to vote for him in 2020. So now all the pilot fish surrounding Trump who helped get him elected for their own end are reaping their end of the bargain.

So naturally you’ve got the Russian assets (Gabbard, Flynn, Trump himself), the zealots like Mike Johnson and Stephen Miller, the corporate oligarchical opportunists like Musk. The power-hungry (like Trump’s sons, JDV, etc.), and so on. It’s a big fuck-you to America and it ultimately matters little to me whether it’s Trump or the broader Republican party. As far as I’m concerned they all made this; they all enabled it. They are criminal cartel.

The way I see, Trump’s the Trump Administration’s motives are:

(1) Plunder the government of anything of value.

(2) Cause a recession so rich can buy everything up on the market.

(3) Sabotage America geopolitically on behalf of foreign adversaries, most notably Russia.

(4) Cement power in their control and go after any rivals.

Edit: For clarification, I don’t think it really matters what part of this is Trump himself versus the people he surrounds himself with and permits as the executive to do what they’re doing in their own personal agendas that align with one or more of these 4 points.

This absolute imbecilic Russian operative has been using a single-word password, “shraddha” for her devices for years… And now Russia has their spy in the central seat overseeing all intelligence assets in the USA. Fucking absurd.

This is so myopic.

• Don’t blame the voters for not choosing the obviously better and more probable choice that would lead to protections for Palestinians than the guaranteed binary alternative outcome? Okay.

• Ignore the fact that much of the electorate is completely fucking ignorant and apathetic and duped by literally billions of dollars of misinformation flooding their media, both domestically but also including Israeli and Russian operations spreading disinformation? (something these Uncommitted voters became susceptible too in the boTh SiDes rhetoric, ind you)

I’m Pro-Palestinian. I’m Pro-Civilian. But if these couch-sitters really gave a fuck beyond empty moral grandstanding, then they should’ve focused on helping to inform their fellow voters why it’s important to help Gaza. After all, you want candidates to respect the will of the voters but ignore the ultimate reality that the electorate was clearly split on the issue just the same and made no attempt to influence the electorate? Put another way: instead of protesting the DNC convention, maybe you guys should’ve started protesting at church parking lots around the country and showing the horrors of Palestine, undercutting the media narrative? That would’ve been much more fruitful.

Because you’re lying to yourself if you think Harris would somehow be worse or equally unreachable like Trump.

Leaving aside the fact that you completely further enabled (a) a loss of LGBTQ+ rights in America, (b) Women’s rights by abortion access, (c) Climate change, and finally (d) became complicit in enabling Russia’s attempted genocide in Ukraine all the same. So please, step off the soapbox.

Unfortunately that path feels like it’s closing. Will probably need more shows like The Handmaid’s Tale to make learning entertaining. The more people are reminded of the horrors of fascism in parallel fictional arenas, the more likely they will connect the dots.

11% of Trump supporters who voted for him in the last election disapprove of him, according to this PEW poll. Honestly more than I thought but who knows how easily Republicans could get them back given their megaphone of misinformation diales up during election time.

The child in me kind of wishes he had passed on 4/20 Easter, but alas.

That being said, while I’m not religious I appreciate a lot (not all) of what this Pope has done. His Apostolic Exhortation on the Idolatry of Money, and the gross inequality wrought by capitalism is worth a read.
