He is a very tiny soft and weak little bitch. When he gets flustered at reporter's questions he literally blushes like a hormonal 12-year-old. He's just such a weird person and it's easy to forget because he's all over the media so you get used to it.

It really has changed. I remember in the 90s when a woman was running for governor and it was covered as such an amazing thing. Republicans and Democrats agreed. Now apparently all women are weak woke DEI. What has even happened.

Isn't it crazy when your approval being in the 30s can be considered a decent showing compared to so many others? Nobody loves Congress.

I worked with a bunch of nuns. One of them said that women run the world, they just never get credit for it. She was talking about women in the Catholic Church but I have thought about that for decades because it's true in so many contexts.

There would be a 99% drop in pedophile scandals I'm sure.

This man talks with an exaggerated Foghorn Leghorn accent, but he's actually incredibly educated and intelligent. He knows what he's doing for better, or for worse, or for worser, or for much worser, or for the absolute worstestest, ya hear?

Yeah, Heather Cox Richardson pointed out that Maine keeps electing Collins because she is VERY good for the state. Appropriations chair, has sway with both parties. She's terrible for the country, but Mainers are the only ones who vote for her and she has been good for them.

I kept thinking it was her that said she would rather be pretty than smart, but I think that was actually Alina Habba. Trump always seems to pick the same types of people though.

The past few daysBritish media are just taking as obvious that the slowly leaked emails from Fergie and Andrew must be coming from Ghislaine. But even if this IS the case, what is she trying to get from them?

Obregonia Jones @obregonia.bsky.social · 1d

I hope not, I was saying that you can't assume. While thinking about this, I also remembered going to college with a girl named Tyrone who was white. In a lot of areas that is considered a black name and a man's name, but her family had come from Ireland. There's more diversity than is obvious.

Obregonia Jones @obregonia.bsky.social · 1d

Oh, I don't think it's right to assume a man named Marc is Christian or Muslim. They're more probably not, but it depends. I lived in Wales where the name Jones is considered ethnically Welsh, but there are lots of foreign-born people named Jones. We shouldn't assume, we can ask politely if needed.

Obregonia Jones @obregonia.bsky.social · 1d

No I asked that, she said they were Muslim and wealthy and "thought they were French or something." She said I should remember them but I genuinely don't, however I'm old as hell. lol Do you know how John is different from Mark? I don't understand that.

The most bizarre thing is that this is not a slur against her looks, she is a literal beauty queen. Lmao

Obregonia Jones @obregonia.bsky.social · 1d

Two of them wrote back, one said a guy she went to school with was named Marc and his family was originally from Lebanon and spoke French and Arabic. I hadn't thought how the language aspect would impact it. Can you answer how Mark is different from John? I genuinely don't understand that detail.

Maya Angelou said that every storm runs out of rain. I've been thinking about that a lot lately in this picture reminded me.

The story is so triggering, the young girls who did not speak English but were forced to participate in an orgy with Andrew and Epstein and "procured" by Brunel--whatever happened to them? Has anybody ever checked to make sure they're doing OK? Or does anybody even know who they are? Blah.

These calls are only going to keep growing. I'm not surprised they are starting formally in Scotland but this news is not going away and Andrew is known for making things worse.

Not paying rent also probably explains why Sarah Ferguson still lives there post-divorce. Getting divorced but living together for years afterwards always seemed so odd.
