You're the minority. Again, 37% approval rating.

You disregard the possibility that they will be fragged by the soldiers who joined to defend the country and constitution.

Jenn Of Ark @jennofark.bsky.social · 4h

You assume that they all have an unquenchable thirst to spill the blood of fellow citizens.

I do not believe that to be the truth. Sure, there are some MAGA psychopaths in the ranks. They aren't the majority. Most of those in uniform did not sign up to murder their countrymen.

Yep. After pledging both times that he wouldn't which was the tell that he would.

Here's the energy you need to embrace: You are an American, you were born with certain inalienable rights, and no fucking EMPLOYEE is going to take them away from you, whether he's squatting in the Oval Office or wearing robes and sitting on the bench.

What Deroldson said.

Those seven million who marched on Saturday? They outnumber the US military by 7 to 1.

It sounds pat and trite, but all that's needed to defeat an authoritarian is the refusal to cooperate.

Jenn Of Ark @jennofark.bsky.social · 6h

There's a reason for that.

Trump, and the MAGA movement in general, have the single goal of abusing the country and the majority of its people.

The next president should start the demolition on that abortion the moment he's sworn in. I won't vote for anyone who doesn't pledge to tear it down.

The follow up should have been, "Sure, if what he's 'satirizing' is his desire to shit all over the American people."

Jenn Of Ark @jennofark.bsky.social · 6h

If "most Americans" are happy with Trump, why is his approval rating 37%? Your math ain't mathing.

Jenn Of Ark @jennofark.bsky.social · 6h

they are all abuse enablers

Same thing he did with the Art Deco bas relief panels on the old Bonwit Teller when he pulled it down to build his tacky tower in NY. Promised to save them and donate them, then had them demolished. He does this shit on purpose because he likes hurting people by destroying things of beauty.

Someday we'll find out that Bigfoot is Jewish.

Jenn Of Ark @jennofark.bsky.social · 14h

I feel somewhat responsible for this. Not the Jew-hating part, but the whole thing about the lizard people, because one time on Twitter c. 2018 I told a QAnon nut that he was being distracted by a false flag with the pedo stuff because the real threat was the Lizard People.

I guess he ran with it.

Those are numbers from 2018, BTW; god only knows what that premium would be now, prior to the clawback of the tax credits.

That's the equivalent of something like 40% of after-tax income, for a program that was supposed to limit costs to consumers of no more than 11% of income.

It was an incremental change. The most important thing it did was stop the bullshit practice of refusing coverage to people with pre-existing conditions. But it had huge problems - a single person making $60K was ineligible for subsidies, even as premiums were $1,000 per month with $6K deductible.

More goo to go!

Tried my hand at moo goo gai pan for the first time ever this evening. So determined to try making it that I finally bought a wok; then had to wait until I could find snow peas. Delish, though next time I'll probably make some adjustments in quantity of the various ingredients.

Jenn Of Ark @jennofark.bsky.social · 15h

Looks yummy.

I tried my hand at moo goo gai pan this evening for the first time ever - turned out delish!

Every accusation is a confession.

After decades of the GOP accusing Dems of wanting to flood the country with immigrants to lock in electoral advantage ....

Difference is the caliber of immigrant; the hardworking folks Trump's deporting are far superior to the professional victims he welcomes.

They're doing something similar off the coast of Italy, submerging large sculptures, but in that case, I think they're using the sculptures more to prevent bottom trawling.

I was on the $.99/month plan, but that was expiring today so I cancelled.

This is why you hire professionals.

Jenn Of Ark @jennofark.bsky.social · 16h

Not me. I can't stand to see big trees get cut down. Unless they're dead.

"What was the point he was trying to make?"

How hard would that be? Johnson said he was making a point, a point that very much looked like, "I shit on anyone who disagrees with me." But I'd like to hear Johnson explain it.

I won't vote for anyone who doesn't pledge to tear the damn thing down immediately.
