It's really not about politics anymore. The apparatus of the Republican Party has simply become a haven for bad people.

Someone needs to remind Mikey Johnson that:
1) we're born naked; and
2) if God does indeed sees & knows all, the nudity won't offend him.

ChatGPT, create a picture for me of 4 guys who have never been and will never be laid unless they pay for it or rape a woman.

Thugs.

Not "police", "law enforcement", "federal agent", or any other term of art that encompasses civilized policing generally.

These masked dudes are simply thugs.

Not that anybody comes to me for Maine politics, but the fact that the Democrats successfully convinced a 77yo Governor to primary the 41yo progressive, is today's example of why the Democrats fucking stay failing.

Susan Collins is 72 and if Schumer gets his way, she'll be the YOUNGER choice!

Okay, sure, yadda, yadda: yes, "women do it too".

But in really bad things like murder, just at 1/5th the rate men do.

Dad cheated on mom. Sigh: men. OK: move on.

There's ZERO in this story about dad telling his daughter that he cheated bc mom was fat.

Daughter says to mom (basically) "what did you expect fatso?"

Mom then lashes out at daughter.

IMHO: Mom should've just walked away. Mom needs to reflect.

Excellent thread. Most Whites are blind to or ignorant of structural/systemic racism bc they see the system working FOR them, not against POC.

Pope Leo quotes Hannah Arendt:

“The ideal subject of totalitarian rule is not the convinced Nazi or the convinced Communist, but people for whom the distinction between fact and fiction and the distinction between true and false no longer exist."

The Trump administration is REALLY allowing Qatar to build an air base in the US after they did a $5.5 billion golf resort deal with Trump and gave him a jet.

MAGA can take their ‘America First’ flags and wipe their asses with them. He is Trump First, and you are suckers.
